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: Lacquered Up

This week I wanted to stay away from the blues. In my quest to find the right shade, I have just been wearing blue tones for weeks. Over the weekend I had Sinful Color's Gorgeous. Its a metallic sometimes blue sometimes green color.

But I changed it up Sunday night. I wanted to put on KnockOut this bright red color... the perfect red, from 17 by Boots. I got it when I went to England in high school. Sadly it was all clumpy and I just couldn't use it. 

So I settled for Essie's Lacquered Up. It is a great candy apple red color, but not as awesome as the red in Knockout, I so wish I had asked my friends to get another bottle for me when they were in England a few months ago. 

The pictures shows more orange that it really is. 

Anyways, this week seems to be very busy. I am working almost every night, and I have a special interview Thursday which I will tell you all about later. Its gearing up for a busy week, but I have some updates planned so hopefully I can stick to it. There might even be an outfit post this week. 

Nail Polish of the Week: Flyin' High and Zebra toes

I have been crazy about teal lately, first I bought two new pairs of earrings, both teal, at Francesca's.

Then I painted my nails China Glaze's Flyin' High. It was my first time using China Glaze and I did like it. Its on par with OPI and Essie, I just didn't like the brush very much. Loved the color though, it is very similar to my bedroom wall color.

But then I went a little wilder and painted my toes Zebra, which earned me some compliments and some people asking how much I paid for it... free I did it myself!

It's so odd to take a picture of your own feet to put up on your blog, just saying.  But this weekend was okay, it was mainly spent working. I worked this morning then went to the outlets in the afternoon. I tried on some boots at Nine West, but didn't buy anything. Hopefully I can go shopping this week and find myself a new pair of boots!

How was your weekend?

Nail Polish of the Week: Safari

It feels like forever! I just got back from Disney and am ready to get back to the usual routine.  Anyways in anticipation for the Disney vacation I had decided to do some fun nails...

Zebra Nails!

Zebra Print! I love zebra, so i free handed this. I started out with a clean slate and painted my nails white using Snow Me White from Sinful colors. Then using the Black from  Kiss Nail Artist Stencil kit I painted on my stripes! I think this hand came out pretty well... the other not so much. 

But anyway, the Kiss Nail artist stencil kit came with three polishes: black, white and sliver sparkle. I got mine at Walgreens for about $7. They feature long thin brushes so you can create details. I am looking forward to playing around with them and creating more nail designs. 

Please excuse the fuzziness of the picture, it was taken in a moving car on an iphone and it was the only picture I had of the nails. 

Oh and my Kiss Everlasting French Nails? They lasted for about four days until i got annoyed by them and decided to pop them off... but other than that they were pretty good.
