Special Post! Zoya: Zuza + China Glaze: Marry A Millionaire

Hey y'all! I didn't get this post up yesterday, but I have it today! I babysat on Friday night and we had a little nail painting party! We did matching nails and came up with the combination you see below! We used Zoya Zuza and topped China Glaze Marry a Millionaire on our ring fingers. Take a look!

I really love this combination! Zuza is such a fun turquoise color! And Marry a Millionaire is a glitter that I think would look good over almost everything. I did two coats of Zuza and one of the glitter. I'm still wearing it and it hasn't chipped or anything! So thank you, Edy, for letting me paint my nails, too! I had so much fun! :)

I hope y'all have had a good weekend. I've had a pretty fun one. I had Saturday off and I went over to Arkansas with my Dad and sister. I wish I had every Saturday off. Ha!

Thank y'all for reading! :)

OPI: Hey Get in Lime! + China Glaze: Fairy Dust

Hey y'all! I know I'm terrible at posting on a somewhat regular basis, but life just won't slow down! I try to take pictures of my manicures, but sometimes I forget. So like when I wore that red butter London that I showed in my last video, of course I didn't get a pic of that. BUT! That was partly due to the fact that it chipped the next day. Actually less than 12 hours later. I was so mad! I almost never have that happen, and if it does happen it's usually with a cheap polish, not a $14 one. So butter London and I are kinda on the outs right now. I still love the brand, but what a let down that was! I bounced back quickly from that mess, though. The weather warmed up, so I was all about some lighter shades. I went for OPI's Hey Get in Lime! which is a pretty old polish. I've had it for probably two-three years, but I know it's from an older collection. I wanted just the tiniest bit of sparkle, so I added China Glaze's Fairy Dust to my ring fingers. You can barely tell it's there. I also got pictures of this right when it was chipping. And indoor pics, which I really don't like. But our lovely Memphis weather has prohibited me from getting any sunlight pictures. So don't blame me! ;)

I'm not really sure why, but I got TONS of compliments on this manicure. I really have no idea why. But I really liked the way it turned out, and it lasted for about a week. Pretty good, in my opinion! HGIL is one of the best OPI polishes. I love how it's minty green, but has enough blue in it to not be too pastel looking. And Fairy Dust is a crowd favorite, I know. It's one of the best glitter top coats out there.

I got my nails done yesterday in Razorback red and I WILL have pictures of that coming up soon! I'm just waiting for sunshine. I'm also ready for the Battle for the Golden Boot this Friday! GO HOGS! 10-1 baby! If we win this, only good things can come from it! I'm sad, though, that we lost one of our players after last weekend's game. I'm not sure if any of y'all heard anything about that. But one of our tight ends, Garrett Uekman, who was 19, passed away last Sunday. They still aren't sure what happened, but it's just so sad. We have something & SOMEONE to play for this weekend. I'll be calling the Hogs, and I hope y'all will too. W88 PIG S88IE! :)

I hope y'all have an AWESOME Thanksgiving! What all are your plans? Do you stay home or travel for the holiday? My family will be going over to the farm in Arkansas, so I'm excited! Y'all be safe wherever you're headed!

So what do y'all think of my manicure? What have you been wearing on your nails lately? Have you done a special manicure for Thanksgiving? Let me know!

Thanks for reading! :)

China Glaze: Ruby Pumps

Hey y'all! It's Game Day so I have a red to show y'all! I told y'all in my last vlog that I got my nails done yesterday with Ruby Pumps, and I also ended up buying the polish from the salon. I'm so happy because this is the perfect red! And it's a good Razorback red! I couldn't get any sunlight pics because the sun doesn't want to cooperate with me today. And y'all will also see my super short nails. Oh well! Take a look at Ruby Pumps!

That last picture was to sort of show off the glitter/shimmer. Unsuccessful. I'm hoping to one day get really good pics of this with some awesome sunlight shots. This polish is completely opaque in two coats, which is perfect! And you don't need a solid coat of red underneath. It's not a layering polish. I do have to say that I had an incredibly hard time getting this to dry. I think the top coat the nail tech used wasn't very good. I have all kinds of finger prints (and even sheet marks!) on almost every nail. I don't understand that, because I stayed at the salon for what seemed like forever to let these dry. It just never happened. So I don't know what the deal is. The marks don't show up as much, though, because you kinda get distracted by all the glitter. It really doesn't bother me too much. The red is just too gorgeous!

Today my Hogs are taking on Troy at Fayetteville. Wish I could be there to cheer them on! It should be a really good game and an easy win. After Troy comes the big teams like Alabama and Texas A&M. I'm confident that my Hogs will have a great season! Woo Pig Sooie! And let's go SEC! College football in the South is in full swing! :)

What do y'all think of Ruby Pumps? What's your favorite red nail polish? What team are you cheering for today? Let me know!

Thanks for reading & have a great Saturday! :)

China Glaze: Lemon Fizz

Hey y'all! I'm sharing my new favorite yellow polish today! Y'all know I hate working with yellow polish, but... I found one that I just adore! China Glaze Lemon Fizz!

Here's the best part about this beauty... TWO coats... no white base underneath! What??!!!??? That never happens! I'm tellin y'all. Go get this if you don't have it. I love the formula, I love the shade of yellow, I love everything about it. I've never worked with a yellow polish that applies like a dream, but this one definitely does. So if you're looking for the perfect pastel yellow, this is it. What do y'all think? Do you like the shade of yellow? Do you hate working with yellow polishes? Let me know!

Now, for those of you who read my post yesterday, I said I would tell y'all which polish was on each of my nails. Jesse's Girl Glee was on my index and ring fingers, and Essence Choose Me was on my middle and pinky fingers. I think one person actually guessed that right! But as y'all can tell, they're 99.9% the same. If you aren't sure which one to get, I say go for the cheaper option, which would be Essence Choose Me. It's $0.99, compared to the $2.99 price tag on Jesse's Girl polishes. Both have great formulas, so if you find one and can't find the other, just grab it! :)

Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Yellows

I'm sure y'all are tired of seeing nail wheels with colors from my collection, but that's all I've got for now! I really like the color on my nails right now and I don't want to change it. So today y'all are going to see my yellows! This one is not as picture heavy, because I only have seven yellows in my collection. Weird? I don't know. Yellows are such a pain. But anyway! Here they are.

1. Wet n Wild: Goldmine

2. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Mellow Yellow

3. OPI: Banana Bandanna

4. Sinful Colors: Unicorn

5. N.Y.C.: Taxi Yellow Creme

6. China Glaze: Lemon Fizz

7. China Glaze: Solar Power

So that's it! What are y'all's favorites? I really like China Gaze Lemon Fizz. My Mom actually just bought that for me a few days ago. It's such a pretty, creamy yellow. And there's not any shimmer or anything. Maybe this will be my favorite pastel yellow! I've been on a search for the perfect yellow for some time now. But I just get so mad at yellows. So we'll see!

Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Glitters

Time to look at all the glitters in my collection! Numbers 14 through 18 were just some experiments I was doing. Some of these glitters are kind of blahhh on their own, so I wanted to see what they looked like over black.

1. Sinful Colors: Pink 4 Ever

2. Sinful Colors: Pearl Harbor

3. Sinful Colors: Paris

4. Sinful Colors: Green Ocean

5. Sinful Colors: Hottie

6. Sinful Colors: UFO

7. Orly: Love Each Other

8. China Glaze: Fairy Dust

9. Nicole by OPI: Love Your Life

10. Claire's: Crush

11. Wet n Wild: Glitz

12. Wet n Wild: Kaleidoscope

13. Ulta: Pinata Yada Yada

14. Wet n Wild: Black + Orly: Love Each Other

And a close up of number 14. Love Each Other is such a unique polish. It's nothing on it's own, but put it over black and it's a whole new color. I love it!


15. Wet n Wild: Black + China Glaze: Fairy Dust

16. Wet n Wild: Black + Claire's: Crush


17. Wet n Wild: Black + Wet n Wild: Kaleidoscope

18. Wet n Wild: Black + Sinful Colors: Green Ocean
And my nails of today! I'm wearing Sally Hansen Insta Dri Fuchsia Flare.

Sinful Colors has some awesome glitters if y'all ever get the chance to check those out. And they're only $1.99, so they're a great inexpensive option! I think my favorite glitters are Pinata Yada Yada, Glitz, and Green Ocean. But I like all of them. They're a lot of fun to wear, and as y'all can probably tell... I've used up a lot of them. For a while I was all about adding glitter to every single mani. I'm not as into that as I used to be, but I'm starting to like the glitter accent nail. But that's *such* a pain to remove. Oh well! What are y'all's favorites?

Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Purples

Today I'm going to show y'all my collection of purples. I love wearing purple, especially in the fall. I'm glad I did this because now I know which purples I'm most definitely going to wear in the fall. :)

1. Brucci: Violet Rage

2. Sinful Colors: Purple Diamond

3. OPI: Parlez-vous OPI?

4. Sally Hansen: No Name

5. China Glaze: Avalanche

6. Orly: Charged Up

7. Borghese: Stellare Notte

8. E.L.F.: Royal Purple

9. 10: Signed, Sealed, & Delivered

10. Wet n Wild: Eggplant Frost

11. Chi: Behind Closed Doors

12. Nars: Tokaido Express

13. Sinful Colors: Daddy's Girl

14. N.Y.C.: Chinatown

15. OPI: Siberian Nights

16. OPI: Lincoln Park After Dark

17. OPI: Give Me Moor!

I know a lot of these look black, but I promise y'all they're purple! Also, Daddy's Girl (Sinful Colors- #13) looks blue, but it is purple. It doesn't photograph very well. And I'm calling Borghese-Stellare Notte purple because, to me, it is. It flashes a lot of different colors, but I mostly see purple. What are y'all's favorites? I'm loving Chi Behind Closed Doors and Nars Tokaido Express. I think I'll get a lot of wear out of those this fall.

Thanks for reading! :)
