Long time no see

OPI Play Til Midnight , originally uploaded by Candi's Addictions.

I apologize to those of you that visit my blog for my absence. With the holidays, work, and the flu not to mention my loss of power for 3 days it has been hard for me to update my blog. I thought that I would share with you my current NOTD which is OPI Play Till Midnight. I didn't realize that this polish had little glitters. I couldn't see them when I wore it today during the day but they definitely pop under a daylight bulb. Quite spectacular and unexpected! I hope that you and yours have the Merriest of Christmases in case I don't have an opportunity to login before then.

Long time, no see. I haven't been able to get online very much the past few days and I haven't changed my mani in several days. So there wasn't very much that I could show you. :>( This is Nicole Overwhelmed and it is the same mani that I have had for the past 3 days. I just took this pic so it is holding up very well, I might say. (Thank you, Seche Vite.)

Talk to you soon and thank you for stopping by!

Just about as close as you can get to the perfect blue. I love this color but I don't like the clean up. I need to try the trick of a acteone soaked cotton ball and tin foil because this took forever to remove. Next up....???? Probably a Nicole which one I don't know. :>D

Today I spent the day outdoors. It was the first sunny day that I have seen in awhile and I wanted to enjoy it. So I got a glass of ice tea, some shortbread cookies, and The Fellowship of the Rings and spent some time reading in the sun. It was lovely. After that I finished some housework and then I treated myself to a polish change and this is what I chose. Sadly this company is not in business any longer but I was able to pick up a few colors before they went under and this is one of them. This is just one coat of color. Unbelievable! And I must say that the brush is very nice. Not too big and not too small just right.

Have a good evening!

A blast from the past…OPI Kris Kringle Makes Me Tingle

I took my mani off last night and have replaced the color yet. I am such a klutz that I turned over the bottle containing the last bit of remover that I had left so I will have to wait till I can get to the store this weekend to do another polish change. I have lots more colors to show you and I have some old favorites that I would like to wear again like this one:

This is OPI's Kris Kringle Makes Me Tingle which is one of my favorite browns. I think that it will suit most people. It is festive without being flashy, interesting without being tacky, etc. I could go on and on. Every time that I put it on, I think to myself that I should wear it more often. It is just one of those colors that makes you happy.

I wasn't able to go to work today because we have been having some major car issues such as brakes and tires. $$$$$$ :>( So I spent the day catching up on my soap operas. (I watch Bold and the Beautiful and The Young & the Restless) and eating tons of junk food like Smart Food Popcorn, Flaming Hot Cheetos, and how could I forget the obligatory Reese's cups. Yummy! I don't know how I will ever lose those 20 pounds that I want to if I can't stay disciplined enough to stop with the junk.

Thanks for stopping by to see me,

As promised, I present one of China Glaze's most popular color. Ruby Pumps!!!!!!! What is there to say about this that hasn't already been said before. I have always loved red polishes. I have a mega ton of reds and I am still attracted to new ones daily. But this is one of my top 3 favorite reds of all times. I wish that I had some shoes exactly like this.

I am so upset that I back to nubbins again. I have been trying to grow my nails out and today when I was leaving work and locking up my desk. I broke a nail! It broke completely off so I cut the rest of them off. I know that some of you ladies out there are super talented and able to reconstruct a nail or mend a broken nail but I can't. So when I have a break I don't have a choice but to cut them all down.

So tonight when I was trying to decide on a new mani I swatched this pretty. Royal purple with itty bitty silver sparklies...check...sign me up! I think that this is my second favorite of the collection but perhaps the one that looks the best on me.
