It does seem a shame that I haven't posted in a bit, I AM working on it I promise. Another shame? That a few weeks ago my hands were all pretty with some Cult Nails goodness, and now my nails are a peeling mess. Working with my hands on the regular, plus moving into a new apartment, plus helping my friend/roommate AND her mom move as well has been hell on them. Not for lack of trying though, I've been coating my nails on the regular with Duri Rejuvacote. But the banging around has been a bit too much to take. But, this polish... this polish... I want to wear it all the time.</div>

Cult Nails - My Kind of Kool Aid needs to live on my nails for the rest of my life. Now Cult nails has a consistent rotation of limited edition colors, that are all awesome. But this one is permanent, and I can see why. It's just so pretty and flattering, and flows onto the nails like silk. Even a klutz-o like myself can manage it.</div>

I just hate bragging, but I figured this is a nail blog, and showing your nail polish would be exciting, and hopefully not go over into bragging territory.<br />

I finally gave in and got a gel manicure. I think after a week of non-stop craziness with the girls I nanny for, it was well deserved, and cheap to boot!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LEROrJRSNJI/U17H7-YdEXI/AAAAAAAACQ0/H4hO8NlkZec/s1600/IMG_5574.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LEROrJRSNJI/U17H7-YdEXI/AAAAAAAACQ0/H4hO8NlkZec/s1600/IMG_5574.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
The process was very relaxing, I didn't feel rushed to pick a color, and they said I picked a color that was good for my skin tone.<br />
When I sat down, the lady who did my nails was named Tina and she said I had very nice nails and they were smooth and had a nice shape (THANK YOU NAIL ENVY). At first I thought maybe she was being nice for a tip, but then she said to my boss, who goes there every 2 weeks, very bluntly that her nails looked very bad (she was right, they were a hot mess). After that I knew she was speaking her mind, and not buttering me up for a tip.<br />
<br />
She shaped them in the "squval" shape, and neatened my cuticles. And applied the base gel coat, it went in the lamp for about a minute and then applied the color which is called A GRAPE FIT by OPI. I knew I wanted something purple when I walked in, and they had a ton of purples to choose from. I love this color so much I think I may get the nail polish version of it, its a bit darker then planks a lot from them, which I own. Basically it was a base protective coat, 2 coats of A GRAPE FIT, and then top coat that was cured in an UV Lamp. I know there is a ton of OMG they are bad for you, so I didn't go in there, with no idea about the risks. But I plan on making this a special occasion thing. Yeah I know.. I know.. Overall the whole process took about 20 minutes. I also had a hand massage as well. It was heaven. So overall, a wonderful experience :)<br />

I bought like 4 of them, but the red was my favorite. I miss them.<br />
<br />
Well a few months ago, <a href="http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2014/03/spotted-new-sally-hansen-summer-2014.html">news that Sally Hansen was bringing the tinted nail polish back (and OPI too...)</a> and I was like ...what? So I bought one, the purple one. I had high hopes for this one, but its a fail polish.<br />

This was after 8 coats. YES EIGHT COATS. Its very subtle but I thought seriously 8 coats? Not impressed. I will try it over a white nail polish next time. Come on Sally, get it together!<br />

I've been a bit MIA lately and no excuses! (well one.. two words...dental problems..) It's hard to gather enthusiasm when you have a throbbing tooth almost everyday. Ive been to the dentist and the outlook is grim.. root canals. Im going to be very poor the next few months. blerg. I did want to throw up a quick blog post to show that we are still alive, still living la Vida loca (maybe) and still painting up a storm! Here are a few manicures Ive done in the past month, that I will do a separate post on!<br />

But as another long time friend of Erika's, and a reader/ supporter of this blog, I mentioned to her that I hadn't seen any posts in awhile. I do like to support anything my friends do, and have been reading since the beginning. So she asked if I'd like to take part, and here I am!<br />
<br />
Now i'm nowhere near as good with a brush as Erika, Renee, and Julie are. More like <i>Ernestina Does A Manicure</i>, in my honest opinion. And I think I may be dating myself with that paraphrased reference. :-P But I do love polish, and have a willingness to get better so bear with me!<br />
<br />
I've been buying polish since middle school when all I could afford is a 99 cent bottle of Wet 'N Wild, sadly those hideous colors of blue and metallic apple green are long dried out, but the memories remain (of hideous manicures). Painting something pretty on your nails makes you feel good, and why shouldn't we all treat ourselves to some good feels now and again?<br />
<br />
For my first post I decided to post on a polish that was bought for me as a gift from Erika when I went up to NY to visit; <b>Deborah Lippman's</b> <i>Lets Go Crazy</i>. You should know, I'm a HUGE sucker for purple and glitter so this polish was a no brainer for my first Lippman. I've read around about it, and the consensus is that it's chunky, the purple is murky... Well you all can google that if you're interested. Also, until I get my camera charger in the mail, I'm stuck with my 2 year old ancient smartphone camera. So no judging on the picture quality until I say so! :)<br />

First things first, I LOVE this polish. I <i>do</i> think it needs some work to come out well, though. It could be me who knows. But sheer purple, with tons of colored glitter? I'm probably biased as a lover of purple shiny things. </div>

So this was one coat of <i>Rejuvacote</i>, which is my standard base coat. Two thick coats of <i><b>Lets Go Crazy</b></i>, followed by one thick coat of <i>Out the Door</i>. I did have to fish every few nails because the glitter was getting sparse, as well as a quick cap and roll. But despite that, and some streakiness, I still have a big mushy soft spot for this polish. As I get more used to doing my nails more often i'll definitely revisit to see if I have the same issues. Anyone have this polish have the same issues? Let me know!</div>

Bonus: Have any of you seen <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/leonoraepstein/ridiculously-sweet-v-day-nail-art-designs" target="_blank">this link </a>for cute Valentines mani ideas? Now I'd change the pink to purple, as i'm not a pink fan. But that's just me. A solid purple mani, with maybe a red heart on the thumb is as Valentine-y as I get. But, they're all super creative. :)</div>

Helllo everyone! I hope someone is still reading this blog, I know we were terrible bloggers and abandoned ship. School.. work... family problems and babies! Kinda took over, hopefully we will all be blogging again, I hope! But on to the nails:)</div>
<br />
My sister is currently in Morocco, with my niece and I have been helping her with packages and such, so I was so happy to receive a sephora box in the mail with my name on the box. I thought for a second I won something because I am always entering contests and I knew I entered a few from sephora ( a girl can hope!) but when I opened the box, there was a note from my sister that of course made my day, and goodies in the form of Nars Nail polish and the sephora lip favorites! I love my sister because she always gets me things that I want but never buy myself, like Nars nail polish which I have had my eyes on for a long time!<br />
<br />
She bought me this awesome set:<br />

The colors are both called "sharp lines"but basically one is a peach that is opaque in 2 coats and a burgundy that gives vamp a run for its over priced money! <br />
<br />
I painted my nails in the burgundy and at the last minute added a cover girl glosstini from The Hunger Games collection called Violet flicker that was too pretty to pass up at Cvs the other day. I will do a blog entry about that lil guy, they are so cute. A tad overpriced for the amount but the colors are so amazing I had to get one.<br />

It was so hard photographing this polish, I mean I tried different lighting and angles, but this was the best I could do without resorting to going outside in the cold.. BRR!<br />

A little Nightmare before Christmas anyone? Im a big fan of the movie, as well as my boss, so I had to do some Jack nails! And they were so easy! Black Zoya raven nail polish, white nail polish from an off brand (No name, sorry!) and Black detailing marker and striper from Sally Hansen. And of course my beloved Seche, which I bought a brand new bottle of because I accidentally threw my bottle away, how... No idea. But its gone. Oh well. Life goes on!<br />

Me and the girls, trick or treating, I am of course SOFT KITTY! The girls: Gina is Snow White and Coley is Mulan. Not a lot of love for Mulan these days so I was pretty happy when I saw that she picked out Mulan, Go Coley!<br />
<br />
Overall a very easy manicure, and Im sure if you go on pinterest you can find the exact manicure, as it really is not that original!<br />

From the past manicure files!A few months ago I was in Urban Outfitters, perusing the new wares. I like Urban Outfitters. Now I'm not a cheer leader by any chance, But I do like a few things they sell. I bought two polishes from them, one called Sea Dust. and a tomato red color aptly titled "Cherry Tomato' GORGEOUS!<br />

<br />
<br />
The second I saw sea dust I knew it was a dupe for Mermaid's Tail! Now I don't own the actual polish because its a pretty color but I can't see myself spending 20$ on a glittery nail polish, but 2 for 8? I can do!<br />

I call this my little mermaid inspired manicure because I had watched the little mermaid about 30 times that week, it was fitting, you think?<br />
<br />
The red used for the hearts is "Cherry Tomato" so pretty!<br />
<br />
The wear is about 4 days before its chipped off, which isn't that bad. Not amazing but good for someone like me who changes their polish often. Too often!<br />
<br />
I can't find the polish on the web site so something is telling me this is a store only thing, or they don't sell it anymore. Shame.<br />

It is opaque in about 2 coats, a little thick, but totally makes up for the awesomeness of the color. Dry time is about 10 minutes with seche vite, god bless seche vite. I also used a new base coat. The gel like strengthener from Sally Hansen. I seriously need help in the strengthening department. I think if this one is a stinker, Ill give nail envy from OPI a try. But once again, MAGIC IN A BOTTLE.<br />

Fall is finally here, not so much in New York because the temp has been in the late 70's.. the other day we hit 80. I mean really now? I need an excuse to wear my bulky sweaters, come on people.<br />
<br />
But I digress, Essie has really been upping their game lately, the new fall colors have been really.. well.. different! You expect fall colors, browns.. reds... the like, but they have an awesome duo chrome and a glitter and well this:<br />

<br /></div>
<br />You know exactly what I am talking about, the nail polish styles that make you go, why did they make this? Okay I might get burned at the stake for this, but why does Matte polish exist? The one thing I love about nail polish is the glossy glossy finish, I go to great lengths to have extra ooh la la. But matte polish defeats this! When the matte polishes came rolling out, I walked away puzzled. But to each their own, some people loved the mattes, still do. But for now, I am good.<br />

Textured polishes have me at 50/50. Some companies have done a really good job with it. Zoya, I LOVE YOU AND YOUR PIXIE DUST POLISHES. I WANT THEM ALL. And when you put on a topcoat, DROOL.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But some companies, I wont name, well they missed the ball. And they cost almost the same as the Zoya's, more then the gum drops, and they are already on clearance. So I guess I wasn't the only one that thought they stank...pew pew pew.</div>
<br />
But seriously, what nail polish out there makes you go hmmmm?<br />

It lasts a long crazy time, almost opaque in one coat, is it worth the money.. um.. yeah. I think so. The color is, but their are other colors in the collection that can be easily duped. This color, not so much. So yes me likes!</div>

I couldn't decide between this hot pink nail polish from an Urban decay set that I bought a few years ago, and this gorgeous blood red aptly called Sooki from Zoya, one of my favorite Zoyas! So I did both! I never really do the ring finger stand out nail, but I think the two went well together. I do need to redo the thumbnail part, see this is why i never show the thumbnail! I always seem to miss half of it ( but that may be pure laziness on my part) And of course a generous topcoat of Seche vite. I cant imagine doing my nails with out it. <br />
<br />
I also think this look works better on shorter nails, agree? disagree? Let me know in the comments! But tata for now!Fairymoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648421345473556800noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001175324583266162.post-61585170914659943722013-05-29T17:16:00.001-07:002013-05-29T17:43:13.274-07:00My cow nails!

One of the girls I nanny for is obsessed with cows, I mean obsessed. Everything cow. A while back she was sick with a cold, so I painted her nails to cheer her up. And then in the process I did mine. Here is the link to the tutorial for it!<br />

All my Zoyas... my favorite polishes make the rack. Once in a while I will switch in and out polishes, but the Zoyas always stay. I am a Zoya whore!<br />
<br />
If you are wondering about the gaps, its polishes at the bottom, that I have worn, so I know in the future not to where again for a few months. Don't judge me, it's my system!<br />

I've ofter wondered who are the crazies who pay more then 30$ for a nail polish, for 30 bucks this polish better serve me breakfast in bed and drive me to Target! I think my cut of for a nail polish would be ..how much does a Chanel go for? 25-28 dollars? And that is pushing it. And is it me or is Chanel getting very lazy with the colors, white polish.. seriously Chanel. You are better than that.<br />

I do have to say that because we havent blogged (shame!) that my collection of nail polish has grown ... A LOT! Christmas was very kind to me this year, I recieved many amazing gifts (including the Cinderella Palette)<br />

So okay they did not come out as planned, but I have to admit it was fairly easy to do! And the clean up is really easy. Plain water and the paint was gone. Make sure to use a nice coat of Seche after, it really makes the colors pop!<br />

I also have given in and started to take biotin to see if it really works, after seeing Renee's very strong and long nails and HAIR! I sunk in and admitted defeat by buying a bottle of Biotin 1000 mg supplements at Target. Ive only been taking them for about a week and a half so nothing as of yet, but I will keep on keeping on and report back results.Fairymoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648421345473556800noreply@blogger.com4
