Indie Week: Holo-rific!

Today's mani has two delicious components to it.  Purple and HOLO!!!  I avoided holos for a very long time because I just didn't see the appeal.  Then I started with the old OPI DS polishes and it was all downhill from there.

Today I have a gorgeous holo from Amy's Nail Boutique, Purple Prism.  I love the color but I wanted something a bit dark.  I decided to start with a nice vampy purple, OPI Vant to Bite my Neck?.

Indie Week: Pink Pow!


Today I wanted to feature an indie that was pink.  I tend to layer pretty much any glitter I wear over another polish so for this mani I started off with China Glaze Pink-Ie Promise.

Indie Week: Mint Edition

Happy Tuesday!  This week I am going to be focusing on using indie polishes that remain untried in my stash.  Today my goal was to pick something that was mint.  I selected Rainbow Honey Siren Song layered over Priti NYC Lungwort.

Memorial Day Nail Art

Happy Memorial Day!  I don't know what came over me today but I decided I really wanted to jazz up my nails for the holiday.  I usually call glitter jazzed up enough so this mani was a big deal for me.  I went all out with glitter, stamping, and rhinestones!  I do my nails on a TV tray in my living room so the first step is to gather my supplies.

Violet With Julep and Rainbow Honey

I have loved nail polish since I was very young.  In the last year this love has grown immensely, and this blog is the result.  My goal is to show you beautiful polish and real manicures, even when they look awful.  Thanks for joining me!

Today's mani is the final one in a challenge I did with my good friend Alyson of Beads. Nails. Food..  We have been doing a rainbow challenge, working our way through the colors of the rainbow.  The final color is violet.  

I started with my naked nails.
