NYC NOTD

ETA: next day nail art from my new fauxnad plates from China!

A simple red-ish/pink-ish mani with NYC polish from the dollar store. #235 (no name) I really like the depth of this color and I will definitely be using it again!


It matches my make up bag!

"Haters Gonnna Hate" gif

This little guy kinds sums up part of my weekend at work. I am just glad that there are so many supportive people there. I'm going to keep a positive attitude and not let negative comments get to me.

"Wild and Willing" with "Rustic"

Edited to add nail art! I got bored and I probably should have stopped while I was ahead, but I kept experimenting. Oh well :)



I've been getting into brownish bronze colors alot more lately. Color Club "Wild and Willing" is a sheer bronze glitter, so I layered it over Wet and Wild "Rustic" (on thumbs and ring fingers) You can really only see the difference with the flash on.

Color Club "Love 'em Leave 'em"

All the recent bright colors I've been doing really made me appreciate this simple, nude "work appropriate" color. It's hard to see, but there is a subtle shimmer and holo effect that a topcoat dulls :( but in the sun it shines quite a bit.

Roller Set/Wrap

I tried to roller set my hair yesterday, but the curls looked crazy, so I just wrapped it overnight. This is the final result. I like it! I just wish it didn't take so long. (45 min to roll, 1 hour to dry)

Silver and Gold

My silver and gold nails with Sally Hansen "Celeb City" and Orly "Luxe"

My favorite ($2) earrings at the moment.

Orly "Purple Velvet"

This is Orly Matte"Purple Velvet" with a top coat and Konad plates m77 and m62. I used Sally Hansen "Celeb City" to stamp jewelry designs on one hand.

I had such a crazy day at work yesterday I really wanted a color that wasn't as bright for my day off. Although I didn't feel like filling out an incident report, I am still mad I got KICKED in the chest by a patient yesterday. You had to be there...it wasn't even my fault. :(

On a lighter note, I am finally getting my RN II, and weekend pay! (Now I just have to check on the back pay for the work I've already done.)

My Summer Haul

Ok, I think I will be cutting down on my polish buying until I use/try/swatch most of the polish I already have. This is my most recent and biggest haul to date. I think all of these colors are bright, beautiful and perfect for spring and summer.

Strawberry Fields NOTD

This is "Strawberry Fields" by China Glaze. I put ChG Wireless holographic top coat over my middle finger and thumb with a konad bow. Strawberry Fields kinda has a gold shimmer to it that I thought matched my earrings!
