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!
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.
I must be one of those people that never get enough sleep. A couple of my favorite things to do are takes long naps and sleep in. I could probably sleep standing up. I have found that I am neither a night owl nor a morning person. I am a mid-day person, if such a thing exists. My idea of a perfect lazy day is to get up about 10:00 or 11:00am, have a cup of coffee, and then read some of whatever book that I happen to be reading at time. Fix and early lunch of fruit and cheese with crackers and a nice ice cold Pepsi © and then take an hour or two nap afterwards. Ahhh sounds so relaxing just typing that out and reading it back. I changed my mani last night and I am currently rocking China Glaze's Ruby Pumps. I will have plenty of pictures to show you later when I get home.
Long time, no see. It has been a crazy day at work the last few days and I have been up to my eyeballs in other people's work not to mention mine own. I am sure that we have all been there. Right? I received this pretty in the mail today from a friend and I used my work break to put it on. Excuse the wear because I didn't have a proper top and base coat at the time. But it put a smile on my face and made the rest of the day bearable.
What is there to say about this color that hasn't already been said. It is a mid to deep blue jelly with a megaton of silver and blue glitter. It is a like a darker version of Stroke of Midnight by China Glaze if you have ever seen that one. I didn't have any trouble at all with the application it went on extremely smoothly and the picture is with two coats and no base and top. I am so thrilled that China Glaze was able to re-release the Wizard of Ooh and Ahz Collection. Finally a nail polish company that listens to what their customers want.
I am over the moon with this polish!
I just finally got a chance to change my mani. I was wearing Atlantis earlier but I wasn't able to snap a pic before removing it. I had tip wear after just one day so I will have to re-do that mani again and make sure to take a pic because I think that the color was really flattering on my skin tone.
I received this Franken from a friend and just now had a chance to try it out. I don't have anything that matches this color in clothing but I think that it will make a great accent color. My pic is showing it a bit bluer than it is in real life. It is a tad bit more green and has a golden sheen to it. Really pretty color!
Thanks for visting!
I have a dear friend who has a terrrible rash and I did this KONADICURE in her honor so we both have matching spots now. I think that it reminds me of a 80's, glammed up, heavy metal snow leopard. LOL. It is a fun look. I have enjoyed it and I hope that you liked the pic.
Thanks for stopping by!
As you can see the KHROMEs are more forgiving that the Romantique's although they have somewhat similar color schemes. This is like brushed steel with a hint of lavendar. It is so reflective it is like having tiny little mirrors on each of your nail beds. I can't wait to KONAD over this baby. I am thinking M57 leopard spots in purple might be cute. I will give it some thought throughout the day and I will post whatever KONADICURE that I come up with for you bloggers.
Have a good day!
I used plate m30 and M54 and the KONAD Special Polish in Pastel Green to create this amphibian look. Love it. What do you think?
A blast from the past from the photostream. Isn't this the most perfect green in existence? Don't answer that. LOL. I don't think that my wallet can afford to go on the hunt for any HTFs at the moment. For me it is a toss up between Emerald Sparkle and this for the coveted spot of favorite green in my book. Another Top 20 color for me.
Another polish, I rediscovered through looking through my photostream. I just love this color. You don't hear enough about it but it is understated enough to wear in the workplace but still interesting enough to wear on the weekends. I think that it looks great with my skintone.
Another of my favorite China Glazes. I really love this color. I was looking through my photos to pick my next mani and I came across this beauty. It just sings of summer and lazy days by the pool. I wish that I could have one more day of summer. Fall is kicking my butt. I am sick and just don't feel well today. I don't have the flu but I have a pretty bad cold. Me thinks.
This was a pre-cleanup Konadicure with Misa Poppy Dreams. You can'tr really see the strawberries that well because they are upside down. Duh! This is the first time that I have used two colors for the stamps.
This is a Konadicure with Misa Dirty Sexy Money and KONAD Special Polish is Pastel Green. I really liked this combination. I got a lot of compliments on this mani.
