Super Cool Layering!

Hi everyone! I have an awesome layering combo to show you guys. Seriously, it's so cool looking. Well, I may as well just show you!

It started with a simple polishing of OPIs "Dutch Ya Just Love OPI". It's a really nice red based purple with a golden shimmer. It also happens to be a dupe for Zoya , "Tru", so if you have that you're good. The formula was superb and two coats covered perfectly. 

Then, I decided to get a little fancy. I haven't used my Kleancolors in forever, so out came "Chunky Holo Purple". Layered one coat of that on top, and this was the result:

To see more, see after the break!

A special post :)

One thing you all might not know about me, is that I live on the opposite side of the country from my family. I love living out west, but I am truly an east coast girl. I am very close with my family, and while I love my life and my location, I miss my family dearly. Every chance I get to go home and visit my parents and brother, I take, and I try really hard not to take any of my time with them for granted! I have the best parents in the WORLD, and I LOVE them to death. We are a bunch of loud, crazy Italians, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go home and see the fam. One night my mom asked me to do her nails, and YOU KNOW I had nail polish with me! So I got out my arsenal and let my mom pick what color she wanted. She chose Zoya, "Sloane". "Sloane" is a very pretty, dark burgundy color, with extra fine multi-colored glitters throughout. The glitters can really only be seen in the bottle, but on the nail you get a nice, shimmery, deep burgundy. After that was done, I convinced my mom to let me try one of the Finger Paints flakes on her. So on top of "Sloane", you see Finger Paints, "Twisted". Here is the finished look:

I think it's a beautiful combo, on a beautiful woman! I love you Ma!!

Happy New Year!

Hi everybody! Happy New Year! It's my first post of 2012. It has been such a long time!!!! I kept meaning to update and then ended up doing something else instead (like going to sleep!) and time just flew by! But I am back and am dedicated to posting a lot more often! Things have been crazy here in CA. I love living here, but I still don't feel like I really do. If that makes any sense. Still adjusting I suppose!! Anyway, let's look at some nail pics! 

When Cult Nails had their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale (I forget when it exactly was) I immediately ordered a bottle of Clairvoyant. I know there has already been a ton of swatches of it, but it's so gorgeous! I heard that it may not be available anymore, so that's sad :( If that is the case, I'm glad I got it when I did! Since it is a sheer polish on its own, I layered it over Orly, "Le Chateau". It's a really deep dark green jelly. Here it is on its own!

And here is "Clairvoyant" layered over top!

Isn't it pretty?! It's like stained glass on your nails! I love putting Clairvoyant on top of other polishes!!

Thanks for reading and I will be talking to you all really soon! :)

Nice Stems Wednesday!

Hey guys! In honor of Pink Wednesday, I have for you two colors from the new OPI Nice Stems collection. The colors in the collection are very pretty and feminine. The formula is great and opaque in two coats. I started with two coats of 'Be A Dahlia Won't You', and layered 'I Lily Love You' on top. 'I Lily Love You' is a sheer pink jelly base with tons of flakes! It is so pretty and I can't wait to layer it over other polishes!
