Essie "Sag Harbor" + Cult Nails "Happy Ending" + Stamping =

I got a new polish the other day from a blog sale over at The Traceface Philes. She has really good sales and this isn't the first time I've bought from her. She ships fast and uses lots of cute bubble wrap and tape. I highly recommend you check her blog out for sales and awesome coupons. Now onto the polish: 

I couldn't wait to try my new Cult Nails polish so I put together this sweet fairy tale mani: 

Here's two coats of  Happy Ending on a clear swatch spoon. I have to make one comment on this polish. I have several shredded glitter polishes and none of them lay this nicely. Usually they are jaggedy and even topcoat doesn't even them. This polish is not like that! It lays perfectly smooth on the nail. That's very nice. 

I started this mani off with a pale blue-y grey Essie "Sag Harbor" 

So what do you think of this mani? 

Cult Nails "Iconic" + Stamping + Gold Tips =

So what do you think? 

It makes me wanna wag my tail: NAIL MAIL!!!!!!! Cult Nails, Ebay, Swaps, Stash Shots and a Negative MyGlam Review

WOW!!! All this mail on one day?!?! I felt like it was my birthday.

Remember the cracked bottle of Cult Nails Captivated I showed you guys last week? Well I emailed them and Maria said she'd ship me out a new bottle. Upon opening the package I was surprised and delighted to find that Maria sent a bottle of the Limited Edition Seduction instead of a replacement of my Captivated. SCORE!!!! I have a friend shipping me a new lid for the cracked bottle which is still completely use-able with a new lid. No complaints from me on the mix up. 

Here's a couple items I can cross of my WISHLIST. They were sent to me by my friend Cherie from Enchanting Cosmetics. 

OPI Did It On 'Em 

OPI Super Bass Shatter

From the OPI Nikki Minaj Line 2011

I received MyGlam Bag last week. The reason you didn't see the contents posted on my blog, is because half of them were missing. Yep...they gave me a half empty bag with items listed on the card that weren't there. So I mailed them and they said they would send replacement items in 1-2 weeks. Lame. That does nothing to make up for their mistake. Personally, I think they should have mailed the missing items and refunded my $10 for the month. OR they could have mailed out a whole new replacement bag. Just saying. 

Here are some nail polish wipes I ordered off eBay. They were less than $5. They are WAY TOO SMALL. I'll stick to cut up felt. I used these to remove regular ol' polish today. No glitter or art. It took me like ten of them. 

NOW, Last but not least, check out this swap from my friend Gina. Oh my gosh. She literally brought tears to my eyes. She said she was sending me a bottle of Revlon from my wishlist. Look at all this wonderful swag she sent!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever met someone, and right away, you feel like you've known that person forever? That's Gina. I feel like Gina and I are kindred spirits. She's sweet. She's funny. She's thoughtful. And could she have  been a more perfect polish present picker??? I loved all this great stuff. 

Look  at all these gorgeous colors she sent. WOW!

How thoughtful was she to add to my collections? 

Here's my CND Duos so far. I love these sets. I love to layer and these are perfect. 

Here is my Hard Candy collection so far. 

Here's my OPI collection. Pretty small. I'm not a huge OPI fan. Every now and again I see something original I like. I know some people are addicted to OPI but I don't think they are the best game in polish. They are easily duped. So easily, that they dupe themselves. 

The END

I play with my polish outside: Cult Nails "Baker"

It was a nice day. So I took the kids out to play. And that's when I got to thinking: I should play with my polish!!!!!!! Yay!!!!! 

 Cult Nails Baker

YES!!! My nails are growing back. I hacked them all off after a horrendous swimming accident that claimed my entire ring fingernail with no hope of repair. Lame. Since I'm very picky about my nails being all one length...that meant the whole team had to go. Sorry guys. This was the perfect polish for nubbies. I love it!

Look at that gold sparkle. 

Then I just started going crazy and taking pictures of everything: Here's my raspberry bushes I planted last year. It's the only plant my kids won't pull out of the ground. See how I'm slick like that? Plus, I envision a fairy tale where I come out with my bowl of morning cereal and sprinkle on fresh picked raspberries. 

Here's my neighbors new puppy. Isn't he cute!!!! My boys love him. I get the benefit of having a puppy...without having to clean up poo. Isn't that awesome? 

Here's my two year old: Roman

My 5 year old Leonardo

After just counting 280 polishes in my collection...would you ever imagine this is what my feet look like? No polish? INSANITY

More Baker

Plant Cemetary. Oops...

I moved here about 3 years ago. My boyfriend started feeding a stray on the porch. 3 years later she's found a home on our porch and in our hearts. 

And here she is: Cali

She's was fixed and de-clawed when she started coming around the house. So I would imagine either she's a runaway or was abandoned. I'm not sure. I'm just glad she's not spitting out kittens or attracting Tomcats.
