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

Carolyn New York Wise Guys
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,
Candi

China Glaze Ruby Pumps
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.
China Glaze C-C-Courage
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 love to sleep in…
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.

Notd: China Glaze Dorothy Who?
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!
