Nail Polish of the Week: Black Shatter

OPI just came out with their new Katy Perry inspired colors, and of course I had to have some! I got Teenage Dream, a pink glitter and Black Shatter, one of the coolest colors I have. 

You start off with a blank slate of any color, the little sister did it with a hot pink, I chose to stick with classic black and white. 

I did two coats of white then let the nails fully dry. Once dry, apply one coat of Black Shatter... 

sit back and watch, the shatter effect happens pretty quickly. In the time that it took me to put down the brush and pick up the camera, it had already shattered a lot, Example A: picture 1.

I had trouble finding the Katy Perry nail polish, I usually get mine at Ulta, but they either didn't have it yet or weren't going to carry it. I found it at Trade Secret and also on Amazon. 

Nail Polish of the Week: Jade is the New Black

Its been awhile and then I don't even post a good picture, I post a phone picture. Oh, well. Its almost time for back to school, next Tuesday, so time again to get back to the routine. 

This week's color is OPI's Jade is the New Black, its a great  jade green color although the picture makes it look a little blue. 

Nail Polish of the Week: March of Hearts 2009

This week's color is an ode to Breast Cancer Awareness month, March of Hearts 2009. Its a great light pink color, perfect for those quick nail polish jobs, I did this one 5 minutes before I had to walk out the door.

Nail Polish of the Week: Russian Navy

Its that time of the year again, its fall! I am so happy for cooler weather, its been in the 80s for the last week and its just amazing. The cooler weather makes me love breaking out the darker colors. So its that time again, time for Russian Navy. One of my favorite colors a rich dark navy color with a little shimmer to it.

Nail Polish of the Week: Get Me To The Taj On Time

I know, I know... its late. But just think, I went 3 whole days with naked nails!  I just never had the time to sit down and do them, so I forced myself to do it last night. I didn't have much time, so I picked a lighter color of easier cleaning.

OPI's Get Me to the Taj on Time, is a pearly white color with the faintest bit of pink thrown in. I like it for a nude color, it doesn't have yellow in it which would give my nails a sickly color.

Nail Polish of the Week: Party In My Cabana

I feel insanely lame for not having updated in a week. In my defense it was a hectic week last week, but I'm just going to move on from that. There are a lot of things I want to say, but I'm going to just keep it to nail polish right now.

Trying to decide this week's color.

Seeing as Saturday was the first home game of the season, I decided to do some game day nails. So since our mascot is the Tigers, I decided to do tiger stripes... which are really zebra with a different background color. I used Sinful Colors' This Is It, with black stripes. I think I ended up a little too gold and it was more Saints than Tigers.

Tiger Stripes

While I got tons of compliments on my tiger nails, I decided I didn't want to walk around with them all week. I repainted my nails OPI's Party In My Cabana. Its a nice dark coral color, which I think is a good transition into fall.

I also painted my toes OPI's Pamplona Purple. It comes out such a pretty purple color.

What are your colors this week?

Nail Polish of the Week: Envy

This week, my nails are green with Envy! The color of the week is Ulta's Envy. I got this color for my birthday, but hadn't used it because I felt it was more of a fall/winter color. However I couldn't keep myself from it anymore. I decided the shimmery green reminded me of the outside of a watermelon so I painted my toes OPI's La Paz-itively Hot, a shimmery hot pink, and my fingers green... my own take on a watermelon... Voila, enjoy!

Nail Polish of the Week

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, RUSSIAN NAVY!

Since its fall, and started to get a tiny bit cooler around here, I decided that it was time to venture away from bright pinks and other such colors and go to the dark side. 

Russian Navy is just what it says Navy, a nice deep navy and it looks really good against really pale skin... so its pretty much perfect for me. 

The first time I saw the color was in a magazine showing it in matte, and while I didn't get it in matte it just looked so rich and beautiful and it really popped against the model's porcelain skin tone.

 I think it also really makes the ring I wear everyday stand out. At least 3 people who see me often noticed my ring and thought it was new... when I have been wearing it almost everyday for a year. 

Nail Polish of (last) Week, Among other things

So, where have I been? School mainly, I have had projects due and tests, and my T.V. shows are starting back up... and I follow many. Football games on the weekends, and I actually slept till 2 p.m. last sunday.  But I am trying to get back to my norm! 

But anyways... I had an awesome nail color last week! I did OPI's Flashbulb Fuchsia, and I loved it its purply pink and made me happy all week long. 

And it was rainy  all last week... and during the foot ball game... So I got to go out in style, in a poncho... very cute... 

Today, I wore a color block dress which I got from Old Navy for only $15I wore my gold XXI heart necklace and some pink flats. 

When I got home from school, I played with the dogs in the backyard, which explains the tennis ball in my hand... here is Dasiy... 

Nail Polish of the Week

So I had been going for a while with naked nails... and that is something I hate doing. But, I finally painted my nails last night...

For my fingers I have Get me to the Taj on Time, from OPI's India Collection. It is an extremely pale pinkish-white color. On my toes I have Koala Berry from OPI's Australia collection. Its one of my favorite colors, its a darker pink. 

Wish list!

I am constantly shopping online, and I have started to accumulate a wish list of things. Most times I will never buy some of this stuff... but I certainly do love to look at them. 

(500) Days of Summer Soundtrack- My friends and I went to see this movie the other day, and we fell in love with it and the accompanying music. 

Old and New Pocket Watch Necklace- I think I have been wanting one of these since probably last year... I just haven't bought one yet. I have really fallen in love with this one from Modcloth, but currently its out of stock... So I think I plan on getting it once its in stock again. 

Incase computer sleeve- I found this one the other day while i was browsing Notcouture.com. Its a black computer sleeve with safety pins on it! I love it, but just not for its price at $83.95, so I think i will just settle on looking at it. 

OPI Espana- I don't know if you know this but I love Nail polish and I have a small collection of it... But I love OPI's new Espana collection... the colors are so dark and gorgeous I can't wait to get some from the collection! 

Peep-Toe Wedges- I found these great shoes from Old Navy for $24.50, they are so cute and I love the color... the problem they are online only and my shoe size varies so i can't try them on.... I might just get them anyways....

So that is what tops my wish list at the moment... its always constantly changing... but thats the top for the moment.

And I just wanted to remind everyone that Project Runway Season 6  Starts Thursday, August 20 on Lifetime at 10/9c.

Ruffles and Hearts

School starts in a few weeks, and I am trying to get together clothes to wear to class. While shopping I have to be aware of the extreme heat and humidity I have to trek through to get to class. I found this great top at Old Navy. I decided it would look really cute paired with a ribbed tank underneath. So I went to Old Navy today with my friends and found both and it only cost me about $15. 

But for classes this semester I am thinking lots of shorts and breezy cotton shirts that breathe! Its always so hot on campus and all the parking lots are far away from the buildings so lots and lots of walking in the heat. 

Style tip: When layering tank tops, buy the bottom layer a size bigger than your size and the top layer your normal size. If you do this your layers will stand out more. 

In the picture is my Heart necklace from Forever 21 and my new OPI nail polish in Russian Navy. 

Nail Polish of the Week

So I was at Ulta the other day, getting a gift card for a friend's birthday. As I was waiting at the counter for the lady ahead of me to check out, I looked over and they had a basket full of little pink zip top bags. the bag was $5 and when I looked inside it contain two full sized OPI bottles: Shorts Story and a Top Coat! How exciting as I had been wanting to buy shorts story the week before!  So this week my nails are pretty in pink!

Ulta Trip

Made an awesome trip to Ulta today, I didn’t get much but it was interesting.

Right when we got there, as I was walking out the car, some girl walks up to me and asks if I am planning on going to Ulta today… and then just hands me to 20%  off coupons! How awesome is that! First I picked up a NYX lipstick in Tea Rose $3.50. Then, Mom had to talk me out of getting a bunch of new nail polish colors… we ended up just getting OPI’s Flashbulb Fuchsia $8.50 from the Brights Collection and an OPI Top Coat for $8.50 and an OPI Base Coat which runs for $8.50, but came free with purchase of two OPI Products!  So In all we ended up only spending like $17. Which is awesome! I really like Ulta, its always less crowded than Sephora and it has better sales… every time I go in they are having a sale!

NYX Lipstick in Tea Rose $3.50- currently out of stock on the NYX website 

OPI Flashbulb Fuchsia $8.50
