Essie Sexy Divide + Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple

I have a feast for your eyes! There are no words. Behold!






My eyes O_O Ahhh!!! You MUST enlarge.


Matte-ified for the heck of it! Still full of awesome sauce!


Kleancolor - I bow to you!


I recently placed an order on these Kleancolor polishes and can I just say that  they are abso-freaking-lutely *amazing*?! I can't stop staring at my nails, they are hypnotizing me =) If you don't have any Kleancolors in your stash, get them now!

Konad Storage

So I'm sure all you polish lovers out there own plenty of Konad/fauxnad image plates and we all have our various ways of storing them. Here's one possible way you can keep your Konad stuff organized and still have the convenience of viewing a bunch of plates at a time and pick one of your choosing.


What in the world is this?? 




Due to my OCD tendencies, I put together a folder and reinforced it with a 
little cardboard for sturdiness and some scrapbook paper for prettiness =)
You can click to enlarge the photos and see how I put it together.There are 
quite a few plates I haven't used yet as you can tell with all the blue stickers hehe


You can get an idea of how thick and sturdy the actual folder is here.


I used one of those flimsy little book report folders that usually sells for 10 cents at any stationary store and just glued cardboard and decorated it with scrapbook paper and a few cut out lettering from magazines. I just attached 3 baseball card storage sleeves and slipped them into the rings like a 3-ring binder. Of course it's much less bulky using this folder but you still have a great way of storing your plates without having them scratch against each other or take up unnecessary room in a CD case. The best part is that you can add (or take away) more sleeves at your choosing - totally customizable, definitely up my alley. For reference, I own the second Bundle Monster pack, the Mash image plates, and about 6 or so GCOCL plates. Sooo... 3 storage sleeves can hold a lot! And since the folder is super flat, it can go great anywhere - even under your bed to hide your polish obsession from those who may think you're a little crazy. =P

Salon Pedi

Happy 235th Birthday, America! I hope you all are having a wonderful 4th of July weekend. It's been awesome weather for picnics, bbqs, and pool parties - go out and get some much needed sunshine! Don't forget the sunscreen =P. So this past Friday I mentioned that one of my girlfriends treated me out to a salon pedi and now I'm back with some pictures. Warning, there are feetsies ahead hahah.






So I've heard there are mixed feelings about French manis (let alone French pedis!) nowadays but I don't care, I think it's a cute look and they're so much fun in my shoes =).  Nail polish is a unique form of artistic expression - that's what makes it so fabulous and enjoyable!  So go out and enjoy whatever it is you want to put on your nails whether it be fingers or toes =).  Have a lovely rest of your long weekend and I hope you've all enjoyed the fireworks!

Friday's French Skittles

First off, Happy Friday everyone! Aren't you glad the weekend is *just* around the corner? What I have for you today is a huge picture spam of my latest mani.  It's a skittle (different colors on each nail) but in the form of french tips! I don't think I've seen this before but if you have or have done so yourself, please share! =) Alright, no more words, onto the pics!







Hahah, I know these are practically the same pictures but I 
wanted to show the mani under different types of lighting =P



My hand looks so weird like this! lol 


Can you believe I used ALL these colors for this mani?? Fun times!


This mani consisted of Sally Hansen Disco Ball over Zoya Lucy for the base. From thumb tip to pinkie tip, I used Color Club Pucci-licious, Orly Cashmere Cardigan, OPI Planks A Lot, Essie Nice is Nice, and Zoya Caitlin. 

So I've been waiting for a nail polish package to come in the mail but USPS hasn't confirmed the delivery yet and its no where to be found! It was supposed to come yesterday but I haven't seen it anywhere -- I hope it's not lost in nail polish limbo. That would be horrible!  Crossing my fingers here. Anyways, the sunshine is finally back! And in other exciting news, one of my girlfriends is treating me out to a salon pedi today! Yay!!! I'm going to meet her up in a few minutes here and I can't wait! So many exclamation marks! Happy Friday everyone. =) Go out and enjoy your weekend!
