A place for me to display my love of nail polish, anything girly, and a little look into my life. And on top of all that, I'm a southern girl who loves her Arkansas Razorbacks.
Hey y'all! I thought since I hadn't done a vlog in a while I would do one up tonight. It's kinda long. Every time I start vlogging I just have so much to say. Actually, this was a lot longer but I decided to cut about five minutes out of it. Yeah. Five minutes. I could talk like all day long. How annoying. ;) Anyway! This is just about the few polishes I've received/bought over the past few months.
I'm currently having a really hard time picking out a polish to wear. I want to do something that will dry quickly, because I want to go to bed. Like now. And I know I won't have the time or motivation to do it tomorrow. Ah, stupid problems. I'm thinking OPI. Because those always cooperate and work well with my OPI top coat. I think I just talked myself into picking out an OPI. Ok cool! Well thanks for reading and watching, y'all!
Well hey hey, y'all! This will be my first post of 2012, and I'm sorry to say that I don't have any nail pictures. I'm such a terrible blogger! I do have a new vlog though, and I'd love it if y'all would watch it and just catch up with me.
So before y'all watch it, I have a few corrections to make. First of all, I said something in here about not taking a picture of my last manicure. Um, whaaat? Obviously I need to look at MY blog a little more, because the last thing I posted was that manicure. So I don't know what I was thinking, but yeah. Also, my bangs were really bothering me. Y'all will notice that.
Alrighty! That pretty much sums up everything that's been going on. I'm so so so not looking forward to classes starting back, but you know, whatever. Also not looking forward to work. But I am really happy to finally have legit things to do. Like a set schedule. I think I've kind of fallen away from that, so it's good to get back into it. I have one Friday and one other Saturday off this month from work, so I will be reminding myself a lot that I have good things coming up. It'll take time to get here, but it's coming. I might have to refer back to this post, but good things are coming. And I have some pretty awesome people in my life that make it all worth while. So it's all goooood! ;)
Anyway, wish me luck on my first day back to classes. I'll check back in with y'all when I can. And don't forget y'all can follow me on Twitter. I will follow back! I hope y'all are all doing well. Thank you so much for reading and watching! :)
Hey y'all! I recorded my 25th vlog last night and completely forgot to post it here, so here it is! I miss y'all. I'm super excited to get this semester over with. I'm hoping to find a little more free time so I can catch up here. I did promise something special when I got to 200 followers. I DO have that coming up, so stay in touch because it's coming! :)
How are all of y'all? Excited about the holidays? School, work, etc.? I'm gonna get back to studying. I'll talk to y'all soon!
Hey y'all! So I finally have real things to post! I spent my Sunday afternoon prepping this post. I'm so happy to have something actually interesting to share. I know my last polish post was kinda ehh, so hopefully y'all will think this one's better. First of all, shout out to Edy for letting me use Super Bossa Nova! :) Here are the pics of that.
I'm quite positive this is the best pink EVER. I love love love it! It has a tendency to flash a little bit of blue in certain lighting. I think that's pretty cool. And! It only needs two thin coats. Score! I love a good two-coater. Plus the formula was perfect. So thanks again, Edy! I hope you'll love it just as much when you wear it. :)
So now for my 24th vlog! This one is long, just a fair warning. I had so much to say! I kept it under 10 minutes, though. So if y'all have the time to check this one out, I'd be so happy!
So yeah! That's what's going on with me! I just put on the butter London I mentioned in the video. LOVE it. It reminds me a lot of Ruby Slippers. So I might have a dupe on my hands. I'm not complaining though. Sparkly reds are where it's at! Just kidding. But they are pretty sweet if you're an Arkansas girl. :) BTW! GO HOGS! So proud that we're 9-1! I'm loving this season, but so sad it's almost over.
How are y'all? What do y'all think of Super Bossa Nova? What's your favorite pink? How's your team doing, if you have one? Let me know!
Hey y'all! Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. The game starts in about 30 minutes and my heart is pounding out of my chest! Go Hogs Go! Woo Pig Sooie! Beat those Tigers!
So this polish combo is probably my favorite yet. I found Teenage Dream the other day and can I just say... LOVE?!? It is so gorgeous. I want every single glitter OPI has put out. Seriously. So take a look!
I did ONE coat of My Chihuahua Bites! and ONE coat of Teenage Dream. Look at all that sparkle! Isn't it perfect?! It's the girl-iest manicure I've worn in like forever and I ADORE it. Sometimes you just need a pink, bling overload. Or at least that's what I needed!
This vlog just talks a little bit more about this manicure. I hope y'all will watch & enjoy!
Call those Hogs y'all! I'll be watching faithfully! And of course calling my Hogs. I just love fall in the south! WPS!
What do y'all think of this combo? Do you love OPI like I do? What's your favorite glitter combo? Let me know!
Hey y'all! Yep, I'm behind on nail polish posts. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I did work up enough time to do a vlog though. So I hope y'all will watch that and get filled in.
I also wanted to say thank you so much to all my lovely, loyal followers! I don't think I can say it enough, but y'all seriously are the best. I love y'all! It's so nice to get uplifting comments from people other than the ones you see on a daily basis. So thank you for your words of encouragement and thoughtfulness. It seriously means a ton to me! I hope y'all are all doing okay and that you're ready for a great weekend! I'll talk to y'all soon.
Hey y'all! Today I wanted to show y'all one of my new favorite glitters! This is Revlon Blue Mosaic. It's a blue glitter with some green hex glitter thrown in. It's so pretty! And it is so FULL of glitter that you can wear it alone without needing a base. It's great! Take a look!
I blurred this one to kinda show how sparkly it is!
I only needed three coats for this. I let each layer dry a little bit before applying more. That helps a lot. That way you don't get any dragging or bald spots. I'm just so happy I got this! I don't usually love glitter this much, but this one definitely won my heart. What's your favorite glitter? Have you tried any glitters from Revlon? Let me know what y'all think!
And here's my 20th vlog! I can't believe I've already done 20 of these things. I hope y'all will watch this and maybe even make a vlog of your own. :)
I hope y'all have had a good weekend! Mine was pretty good, but I was pretty upset that my Hogs lost. I'm looking forward to the game next weekend, though. Thanks for reading & watching! :)
Happy Saturday, y'all! Today my Hogs take on Alabama in Tuscaloosa. I'll be watching faithfully!
I just LOVE this polish I'm showing y'all today! It's really the only one out of the Touring America collection that I wanted. I'm so glad I found it! It's a deep coffee colored brown that is going to be on my nails a lot this Fall! Take a look!
I love the color, but I love OPI even more! I always love working with their formula, and the brush is my favorite! I only needed two coats for this! LOVE! Just so easy to work with and such a pretty color. So what do y'all think of this OPI shade? Did y'all pick up any other colors from this collection? If so, which ones? Let me know!
And here's my 19th vlog! This one focuses on nail art and what I've come up with. I hope y'all will enjoy watching it!
Happy Friday, y'all! I have a polish I swatched a loooong time ago from Nina Ultra Pro. Sailor is a dark blue/navy creme that I absolutely adore! Take a look at the pics.
This polish was very pigmented and only required two coats! I know my swatches of this are a little messy. It was back in July when I did this. I can't believe I'm just now getting around to posting it. I got this from Sally's on clearance. It's the perfect navy blue, and definitely has a nautical blue twist to it. I love it! What do y'all think of Sailor? Do any of y'all have this polish? How about the brand? Let me know!
And here's my 18th vlog on recent purchases! I hope y'all will enjoy watching it!
Thanks for reading & watching! Have a great weekend! :)
Happy Thursday, y'all! I'm sharing the last ELF polish from the set, Mango Madness. I was excited about this one because, well, it's a coral! Y'all know I love my corals! I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that these corals aren't going to be on my nails for a long time. I thought I should go ahead and get this one posted, since the dark colors are quickly approaching with this cool weather! Take a look at this beauty!
All of the ELF polishes needed three coats. But this one was also very easy to work with. So no worries! I just really like how all of these applied. I'm very pleased. What do y'all think of Mango Madness? Let me know what ELF polishes y'all are loving! :)
Here's my seventeenth vlog! I did another mini haul video, but since making this video, I've gotten more polish. I think another haul vlog is in store some time this weekend. We'll see! Also, I thought I should share something. I've been getting lots of comments about my nails and their length. I worked so hard to get them pretty, even, squared, and a nice length. Unfortunately, I had to cut them down today. I got some breaks, some nails were snagging on everything, and they were all uneven. At least I can start the whole process over again and have pretty looking nails once again. The next few posts will still feature my nails the way they were, though. Thank y'all for all the sweet comments you left me about my nails! Y'all are all very sweet, and I appreciate each and every one of you.
I hope y'all had a great Thursday and that tomorrow is even better. Fridays are always good! Thank you for reading & watching! Stay sweet! :)
Happy Friday, y'all! I wanted to show y'all the only polish I picked up from the new JulieG collection for Jesse's Girl. I vlogged about getting this one a while back. I wasn't real happy with it. But I do think the color is pretty! It's a light tangerine/pink color that is great for the end of summer. Take a look!
I had a horrible time applying this. I love Jesse's Girl polishes, but I was so disappointed in this one! I was happy that I didn't pick up any more. It was just a streaky mess that never seemed to cover my nails right. By the third coat it was really thick and I just didn't love it. The color, though, is really nice. But the application definitely overshadows that. Have y'all tried any polishes from the JulieG collection? Or just from Jesse's Girl in general? What did y'all think of the application? I'm really interested to see if anyone else had similar issues, so let me know!
And here's another vlog. I totally understand if y'all don't want to watch this one. I did this one because of a request on youtube. If y'all are interested, though, it's about some of my favorite makeup products and one product I wasn't so happy with.
I hope y'all all have a great weekend! I'm excited to watch some college football and cheer my hogs on to another great victory over New Mexico! Thanks for reading & watching. :)
Hey y'all! Happy Thursday! I hope everyone has had an awesome day. I'm one hundred percent drained. I don't have classes Friday, thankfully, because otherwise I'd be one unhappy camper. Anyway, here's Wet n Wild Fast Dry Hannah Pinktana! I don't really know if this qualifies as a holographic polish, so I need y'all to tell me if it is! Take a look at this pink sparkly goodness!
I tried to capture this at all angles, because it is just gorgeous! It comes alive in the sun, it'll make you want to stay outside all day just to look at it. I really liked the formula. It was thin and needed three coats, but it was really easy to manage. As y'all can see, it is pretty sheer. I like it that way though. I'm sure it's an awesome polish to layer! I also really like the brush. It's larger and rounded. Those types of brushes work really well for me. These Fast Dry polishes are also on sale right now at Walgreens for $0.99. Check them out if you're interested! So what do y'all think? Do any of y'all have this polish or any other polishes from the brand? Let me know!
And here's my 15th vlog! Please let me know what y'all would like to see more of. I'm always open for suggestions!
Hey y'all! I'm so glad it's Thursday... or Thursday night. I don't have classes Friday, and I am beyond grateful for that! I also can't believe it's September. Time is seriously flying by.
So the summer is almost over. When college football starts, my Fall starts. Because of that, I'm trying to show y'all all the summer polishes I've got saved up on my computer. I have a lot. And I'll probably have more even when it's fall & winter. Just lettin y'all know. Today I wanted to show y'all butter London Jaffa! It's a gorgeous coral polish that I rocked this spring and summer. I am now butter London's #1 fan! I need to get my butt back up to Ulta to pick up some more of these polishes. Take a look at the pics!
3 coats for coral-y goodness! I know for a fact that this can look amazing at two coats, because I took this to a nail salon to get my nails done, and the manicurist only used two coats. And it looked great! So why I needed three coats, I really don't know. So what do y'all think of the color and butter London? Have you picked up any BL polishes? If so, which ones and how many do you have?
And here's my 14th vlog!
I just want to say thank you again to all my amazing followers/readers. I am so grateful for all of you. Y'all make my day brighter every day!
Hey y'all! I really wanted to share this GORGEOUS polish I got for my birthday! Here's Dior Violet Nouveau Monde or New World Purple. I'm so amazed at how beautiful it is! Thank you so much to my Mom & Abby! I love y'all, and thank you (and the rest of my family!) for making my birthday so special. :)
I only needed two coats and I just loved the formula! It dried super fast, too. I did these last night before I went to bed and I didn't get any sheet marks. Success! :)
Here's my 13th vlog! This one is mostly on what I got for my birthday, and it's really short. I hope y'all will watch and enjoy!
Thank you so much, again, to all of my wonderful readers for making my day so special, too! Y'all are all so sweet and I'm so thankful to have such nice blog friends.
Wish me luck for my first day of college! I'll talk to y'all soon. Thanks for reading & watching! :)
Hey y'all! I've got lots to share today. First, I know a lot of people wanted to see Pumpkin Spice so I've swatched that for y'all. I did three coats and my pinky has four coats just so y'all can see how it builds up. I was a little disappointed to see that it's a pretty sheer polish on it's own. The base isn't as black as I thought it was going to be. It's more of a grey/black, or charcoal with orange glitter. Take a look.
Even though it does look a little sheer with three coats, it's still a unique polish, at least in my collection. It has that "glowy" look to it, too, which I think works really well for fall and especially around Halloween. I do like the look of it at four coats (pinky). But I know most of y'all aren't fans of a fourth coat. I can't say I blame y'all, because I really don't like it either. I think what made this polish so sheer was how thin the formula is. But let me just set the record straight. I do like this polish. Below, I've layered two coats over one coat of Xtreme Wear Black Out. I LOVE the outcome of this layering experiment, so take a look!
That's how I wanted Pumpkin Spice to look on its own. But I'm perfectly content layering it over black to get this effect. I really like it. What do y'all think? Have any of y'all tried this polish alone or over a black polish? What is your take on it? Please let me know! I'm curious to find out what y'all think!
And here's my 12th vlog!
I'm accepting "birthday polish" ideas, so leave them below! Let me know if you've tried anything I showed in the vlog, I'm always interested in what other people have to say on certain products!
I also mentioned Emily's blog, Embellished Nails. Please check out her blog! She's such a sweetheart and she has the most gorgeous nails! That's where I read her review of the True Blue Spa 60 Second Manicure Hand Scrub. Definitely check out her blog! :)
Hey y'all! I have two things for y'all today. Vlog 11 and this OPI polish- Give Me Moor! This polish is a blackened purple, that looks black in most lighting. I think sometimes it leans a little red, but I include it in my purple collection because that's what it looks like to me. It's the perfect shade for fall!
I think this one shows more color than Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees. You can see the purple/red in it. I used three coats because the first two coats show a lot of bald spots. The formula is awesome, though, so three coats didn't bother me. So what do y'all think of this OPI shade? Good/bad? Let me know! :)
And here's my eleventh vlog! I'm really in the mood for darker polishes and cooler weather, so that's what inspired this video.
Happy Saturday, y'all! Today I'm sharing Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup in Gold Chrome. I found this one not too long ago in some nail kit I was given years ago. I'm so glad I found it because it's kinda old school. I like it! It's got an olive tint to it, which I think is pretty cool. I think that's the gold, though, and it just shows up olive in different lighting.
I needed three coats for this one because it's a little sheer and my bottle is running kinda thin. I also used a top coat to smooth out some of the imperfections I was seeing. This is one of those polishes that will always show brushstrokes. That's not really something that bothers me, but the top coat helps hide them a little bit, in my opinion. So what do y'all think of the color? Do any of y'all have these Chrome Nail Makeup polishes? Let me know! :)
And here's my tenth vlog! I'm not really sure why the quality is a little sketchy in this one, but it's not too bad. I also made the music at the end a little longer than normal. It's the song I'm currently obsessed with. :)
Happy Wednesday! Today I'm showing y'all my last CQ polish, Peachy Keen.
I looove this color. I think it's so pretty and girly. A color I love for spring and summer. I didn't have a flawless application, it was a little more difficult to work with and it required three coats. But it could have been a lot worse! So I'm not complaining. Let me know what y'all think of this color! :)
And here's my ninth vlog!
Thanks for reading and watching! I appreciate all of y'all so much! :)
