These are the nails I did...

These are the nails I did the night I hung out with Mary Beth and Nancy.  I didn't get to stamp them until later, but this is Nancy's neon yellow polish.  I decided to use a color that I didn't have.  LOL

And of course, I jacked up the thumb.  Stamping my thumbs is not easy.

Nails I wore the other day.

Nails I wore the other day. I haven't had time for anything, let alone doing / posting nails. I'm about to shower and hopefully will get them painted again before I pass out.

Anyway, this is a polish that Janet gave me. I love the hot pink / orange shift. 🙂

Confession Time...

Confession Time...

Y'all remember that OPI Black Spotted French Sephora exclusive nail polish that OPI said they would NOT be releasing in the US?

I got one.  😃

And no, I did not pay $50 for it on ebay.  That's just crazy.  o_O

Not really a purple kind of girl...

Not really a purple kind of girl or a flower kind of girl.  But I really like these!  They are totally girly and swirly and pretty.  🙂

These are what I did the other day.

These are what I did the other day.  The polish is Swanky Silk from the new China Glaze Bohemian Luster Chrome Collection.  It's a pretty gold / pink foil.  🙂  I wanted to stamp something feminine on top, so hello, swirly vines.  🙂

I'm off to go and do my nails again.  These are chipping.  I've had a stressful few days, so I need to relax and treat myself, if only to a new paint job.  ❤

Last night I couldn't decide...

Last night I couldn't decide whether to use one of my new polishes or use the foils I got so long ago.  So, I decided to use both!  😃  The polish is from the new China Glaze Bohemian Luster Chrome Collection; Rare & Radiant is the name of it.  It's got this cool green / gold / sometimes orange-y sheen, so I picked a foil with colors I thought kind of went with it.  I only have a few foils, as I didn't know if I would like them or not, so I didn't have much to choose from.

For those who have no clue what I'm talking about, foils are kind of like those Sally Hansen nail wraps - it's a picture on a little sheet, but with the wraps, you stick the whole thing on and leave it.  Where as with a foil you transfer the image down with special adhesive.  As far as I know these are not popular in the USA and I have no idea where you would buy them besides online.  You can find some pretty cool images / patterns if you are interested.  This one, I think, is string.  It looks like woven string to me.  LOL  I've heard that foils have craptacular staying power, so I'll comment on how they wear in a few days.

I know my thumb looks a little rough.  This was my first go at trying foils and my topcoat wrinkled it up and then half-ass smoothed it back out.  Oh well.  I still like it.  🙂

I'm off to shower and do my nails.

I'm off to shower and do my nails.  I got two new polishes from the China Glaze Bohemian Luster set today, and I'm so torn.  I want to use them, but I've also got an itch to try my foils out.  I've had them since December and haven't had a chance yet.  Ah, decisions.  😉

I did these Sunday and I wasn't quite finished with them, but...

I did these Sunday and I wasn't quite finished with them, but I never got a chance to do anything else with them.  Nor have I had a chance to change them.  Oh well.  I thought they were cute, and I really like the multi-colored glitter.  Maybe I'll have time to stop and do my nails this weekend.  🙂
