Sorry been gone a bit

I've been extremely busy over the last several weeks so I've been neglecting my blog again. Not that y'all have minded, I've had more views than normal and I am so blessed that y'all have viewed my blog.

Alaina by Julep; It isn't really a beautiful color on me.

Close Your Eyes by Orly (purple) and Moonstone by Sally Hansen from their Lustre Shine Collection, with gold striping tape. This was inspired by Modnails. Tutorial + mani.

There was a huge collab between girls on IG to do some rainbow nails, 111 in fact. Mine didn't stand out from the rest but I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to be apart of something so amazing. (PT 2 may be coming soon)

Creme Brulee by Revlon (true color shown without flash) and Opal Hope by Orly (true color shown with flash, the one on my ring finger).

Frida by Zoya; a jelly and extremely sheer! This was 4 coats and as you can see there is still VNL.

Kickin' the Habit by Spoiled by Wet 'n' Wild and It Starts With Me by Nicole by OPI as an accent. I actually wore this combination during a soccer game, I couldn't find it any more perfect for the occasion.

Look At Me, Look At Me by Nicole by OPI. It's a glitter polish that was so impossible to photograph I eventually gave up on trying to get all the colors and just get the main.

Miss. Independent by Nicole by OPI and Dancing Nails by Sinful Colors. My camera refused to focus in on this color but it did show the color so that's all that matters I suppose.

Remember the Collab that I was telling y'all about? This a picture of all the girls that participated in it. So many amazing girls and nails.

Princesses Rule! by OPI; you see this color here? Run out to your nearest beauty store that has OPI and buy this color. It is absolutely amazing, so hard to photograph I ran all around my house and yard trying to get the accurate color and then I finally got this one. Do you see how amazing that it is? I'm in love with this color! This was 3 thin coats.

Purr-fect Plum by China Glaze. It's a good color but not on me.

A rainbow threw up on my nails, least that is what I call this mani. It was my original mani for the collab but I tried to find something better. I also found out I have 1 yellow which is well over halfway gone I think I need to buy a new one.

Rampage by Illamasqua; It's a dark green and well worth the retail price ($17) although I am so happy that I got this polish for over 76% off (I got it for $4).

I'm doing good (so far)

So last week when I added all my notable nail arts up to that point I didn't add in the nails I did that day. So here is all the nails I have done this week. And it has been a busy one. I went through my stash and found out that I have 91 untried polishes so until I swatch them all I am on a no buy. Maybe I'll get through them quicker, and as you can tell in the last week or so I've done pretty well.

Carly from Zoya. This is one coat and no topcoat. I was in a rush to put something on before going to church with my best friend. I figure that this polish is going to become a go to for me because on top of it having full coverage in one coat, it dried very quickly. This is a polish that you need to own.

Natty from Zoya and Beetle from Hard Candy. Three coats of each (my middle finger has two coats of "Natty" and two of "Beetle"). While yes they are pretty in the bottle I don't believe that these are two polishes that I will see my self wearing often. As such I will probably hold a sell on some of my polishes.

"Purple Yourself Together" from Nicole by OPI and "Jane" from Julep.

"Rainbow" by Blackheart and "Tart Deco" from Essie.

"Stevie" part of the pixi dust collection from Zoya

"Thataway" from China Glaze, beautiful but not for my skin tone.
That's all for this week folks. I hope that y'all have a fabulous week and I hope to see y'all soon!
