Nail Mail (August Edition)



I just wanted to show you the latest additions to my “collection” :) 

I heard about Hautelook and signed up a while back but was turned off by the fact they charge for shipping… just charge me more and make me believe shipping is free! I much rather do that than come to terms with how much shipping costs compared to what I am buying… rant over, haha.

So, a few weeks ago, Orly was on Hautelook, minis for $2.50. I was looking at trying out some Orly polishes, I had only tried 3 of their Glam FX glitters… and then it happened, as I was telling myself I would not buy any because of the $5+ shipping charge, they emailed me a $15.00 code!!! No minimums, just $15.00 to spend! So, shipping charges and all I got 4 mini Orly polishes for $0.95, now that my friends, is what I call a deal!

Here are the 4 shades I got, excited to use them soon!

(L to R) Nite Owl, Snowcone, Meet Me Under the Mistletoe and Fowl Play

If you want to try Hautelook and don't have an account yet, you can use my referral link http://www.hautelook.com/short/3FJ7z


I also got some more nail polish from Copious with a credit I got from a link that another blogger posted. HITS is a brand I had not heard about before, but the glitters looked pretty good. Here are the swatches, the smell is kinda strong but I love the way they look and for $0.01 (now you have to spend at least $0.50 even when using a credit), these were also a great deal!



Grrr hard to picture all these glitter! Prettier in person!
Another great idea I had recently was to look online for nail polish trading and nail mail pals groups. I joined Adopt A Friend, which is basically a group where you are paired up with one (or more) pals, you send them a letter telling them about yourself and a little gift with it. Most people send nail polish or nail polish related stuff; unfortunately the group is on recess this month while the admins sort out some issues like swaplifters (people who receive but don’t send anything), and such. I am looking forward to October’s exchange already.

Here is what I got from my pen pal:

My first Essence polish! And I learned not to underestimate the beauty of a color and try it on before deciding whether you like it or not :) I actually used this pretty color on my first “fimo mani” (will do a post on it soon). 



And this Sally Hansen is one I had never seen before, what a cool combination!!! White and gold glitter! I feel it could go over ANY color and look fantabulous! See?
Look at the middle one, China Glaze Stone Cold! OMG! It dries so nicely!!! Can’t explain it with words, just look again!!!! 
Last but not least, I started a beautiful friendship with Sam from Shenailigans a few weeks back! I was following her blog and not only did she have awesome posts, she also seem really cool. I emailed her asking her for some advice and help with my blog and she was so helpful and nice! We were having the Sinful Colors sale at Walgreens and I offered to pick some up for her (she is in Canada), I sent her the colors below and some other cute little things (she blogged about it here)



Since I saw she was “frankening” I asked her to make me some polishes! I wanted her Floam dupe so bad!!! But the rest I left open to her imagination! How awesome are these colors???

My package was incredible!!! She also sent me a bunch of other awesome goodies!!! Happy girl over here < -----

I wore this colorful mani this weekend on my trip to MN, we were going to the State Fair and I thought these nails would definitely be fair appropriate :)


Thank you Sam! I look forward to many more exchanges and a long friendship!

Oh bar glitter!




I can’t believe it’s already September! I have to catch you guys up on my posts! August was a busy busy month for me, school, work and a trip to Peru! I wanted to share a mani I did a few weeks back, if you follow me on FB you probably saw pictures but here it goes, enjoy!

I had a wedding to go to in August and was going on vacation right after that. I wanted something nice and versatile and since I was going to cold weather I wanted to stay away from bright colors. I was also dying to try my first 2 bar glitter polishes.

For this mani I used:
  • ·         CND – Stickey Base Coat
  • ·         Sinful Colors – Secret Admirer #933
  • ·         OPI – Save Me
  • ·         Orly – Be Brave
  • ·         OPI – Top Coat

Here is what I wore to the wedding... yes my shoes sparkle :)
Base color :  Sinful Colors – Secret Admirer #933
Here I am wearing OPI - Save Me & Orly - Be Brave over it. (one coat of each)
Completely off topic but I must tell you I am writing this post in the car as my dear boyfriend is driving us back from MN to KC and he is so silly, he just turned on the Spanish music station (mind you he is from MN and does not speak Spanish). I think he is just trying to get my attention but any who, back to this post.

I love how this combo turned out, I am still kinda new to all the different glitter kinds out there and what not, and have read that some people do not like bar glitter as it can be rebellious and refuse to lay flat. Both of the ones I used were perfect and easy to work with. I was hesitant to use Sinful Colors as the base color as I really wanted my nails to last for a while, I don’t know about you but I don’t feel like re-doing my nails while I’m on vacation.

One more pic :)
I had this combo on for 2 full weeks, which included luggage pulling at multiple airports and I experienced no chips or peeling whatsoever! Obviously my nails grew and you could see that towards the end of the 2 weeks but I am truly impressed at how long the polishes stayed on.

What do you think? Any other bar glitter polishes you recommend?
