WINE/NAIL NIGHT: My Friends' Nails

I try to host a wine/nail night every week in my home. It gives me some relaxing "girl" time. We catch up on the each other's lives, drink a little wine, have a fire outside and I paint nails. It also puts my ever-growing "Polish Stash" to use. 

So here were this week's designs:

Nicky's Nails

Deja's Nails

Kayla's Nails

Lis's Nails

Sarah's Nails

Kim's Nails

Kim got a new purse and we decided to try to match her nails to it.

Anna's Nails

She liked the design I was already wearing and wanted me to "dupe" it for her. :)

So what do you think of this week's designs? 

Which design is your favorite? 

Have you hosted a Wine/Nail Night for your friends yet? 

SWATCHES: Alter Ego "Sun Goddess"

Check out this sunny manicure I put together with some layering and a stamp. 

To create this look I started with a bright neon yellow shade from Kleancolor

Next I layered two coats of Alter Ego "Sun Goddess" over top of it. I love this shade. It's a orange-yellow base with lots of orange glitter in it. Very unique. The formula was flawless and applied very easily. 

If you're a matte lover then you will love the finish on this polish. Here's two coats on a clear spoon and as you can see it dries to a perfectly matte finish. 

Here's my little collection of Alter Ego polishes. Cynthia, the creator, is an awesome lady. She stands behind her product and offers great customer service.

So what do you think of this bold mani? 

Whimsical Ideas by Pam "Super Hero"

I am a sucker for yellow polish, throw in some glitter and stars and I'm SOLD!!! Check out this awesome polish recently released by Whimsical Ideas by Pam. It's a yellow jelly, so I skipped the layering by putting the polish over a yellow creme polish. 

So for those of you who have been wondering why I don't buy polish at the store anymore...this is why. Indies aren't your mommas polish. They are creative and artistic and nothing like dupes you find in stores. So you see, I'm not just an Indie creator, I'm also an Indie lover. 

I LOVE INDIE POLISH!!!!! 

The Nail Junkie: 2 Part Mani: Step 2: Nail Art: Revlon Whimsical

Okay, so here's my addition to the mani featured in my previous post:
The Nail Junkie: 2 Part Mani: Step 1: Layering: Revlon Whimsical:

It's not all I had hoped for, but it's certainly interesting to look at.





Here's what I used:

• OPI Snow White
• Kleancolor Neon Yellow
• 1 coat of Gelous (awesome product!!!! It's a nice thick topcoat)
• 000 tip size paint brush from the craft store

OUT-TAKE!!! So here was my first attempt which I took off and re-did. LOL!!! I will let you guess what this looks like.

This week's polish haul: I've been a bad bad girl.

Here's the new additions to my polish family. I ordered some online: Amazon, Bundlemonster, Blog Sale and Nailtiques. Others I picked up at Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid. I'm really pleased with my pick ups this week. A lot of pretty colors.
