Olympic nail art

Hello hello there. I'm so freakn tired it's not funny. This will be one long damn week coming up. Anyways wanted to post my Olympic nail art pics. As you can see, they were a bit of a fail, but I'm still a newbie, so cut me slack:) took two hours to do them. I kept drawing a blank on what to draw, but think they came out alright. I hope you all enjoy your weekend!:)

Oh boy.  The celebs love to make deals with Nicole by OPI. Selena Gomez just announced she will be releasing a nail polish line in summer 2013. Hope it's as good as JB:)  

My apartment has been taken over by polish!

I looked around today and couldn't help but laugh at all the piles and set up of polish painting station in my apartment. My house is clean, not much mess one person who's never home can make ya know. Has your hobby taken over too??

Sally Hansen Salon Effects-Headbanger

Hope you guys had a good Monday. Heaven knows I did not want to go back to work today. I did stop by Target yesterday and they had the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Avril Levigne line on clearance. I've really wanted these but didn't want to the pay the price. I guess mainly because of her. ( I still can't see her as someone's mother. Totally weird) Anyways! I picked up Headbanger and another I can't remember the name of. I do love these nail strips . Always cool colors and they stay pretty good. Only drawback is that they don't have a good selection of sizes. Granted I'm wearing these over my oh so great glue on nails but even on my natural nails, it's hard to get the right size. Where it showed white I just used a discarded piece of nail strip and tried to blend it in. If you find them, grab them. So cute and commercial punklol. Headbanger has the perfect mix of pink girly sparkle and rock.

Sinful Colors Haul

Oh Vey!! I don't get myself sometimes. I'm trying to get rid of a ton of polish then I turn around, and buy more. Yikes. What a vicious cycle.

I just got back from Walgreens, full back in hand. I had no intention of getting as many as I did. I purchased 7, got in my car to leave , then went went back in and bought 5 more. They did have a good selection. My Walgreens is usually packed with promo displays along with end cap bins and the normal display case. My only problem was making the darn decision on what to get. I mainly picked up colors for stamping. I don't know if it's me, the plates or the polish, but my stamps never come out as nice as others. So hopefully they will work. The .99 sale is a great chance to stock up, try out new colors or even start picking up Christmas stocking stuffers or little gifts for girlfriends. I would get there as soon as possible to make sure you get your colors. I did check the Walgreens website last night and the sale had already started. Most colored were sold out too. Hope you all have a happy Sunday! ( I can't wait for tomorrow for news about Cosmoprof!)

Updated Blog Sale page

Just posted a bunch of polishes. prices between .50  and $1.50. Mostly Wet n' Wild. I have plenty left of other drugstore brands to post, but I'll save that for later. All would be great for new additions or to franken with:)

Sally Hansen- Loves Me Not

Hope everyone had/ is having a great Saturday. Today it was quite dreary out so I did a darker, moody color. I had picked this up some time ago at Bed, Bath and Beyond ( I still forgot that they carry many beauty brands) Loves Me Not is from the Sally Hansen complete salon manicure line. It was a special LE release from the Spring 2012 Prabal Gurung's runway collection. As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. No way I could turn down a purple polish. It's like my cryptinite! Throw in a magical, beautiful duo chrome sparkles, and it's done. The sparkles range from gold, red, pink and blue. The base is a rich dark plum purple. Just really a beautiful color. It was very hard for me to photo though. Seeing it is LE, try to track it down. Bed, Bath and Beyond is the only place I saw it. Have a great Sunday!

Spoiled- Jail bait

I wouldn't normally pick up a neon orange but for the $1.99 price tag and once I saw the name, I needed it! I expected it to be a thick cream, but turns out to be sheer. I have 4 coats on and you can still my white tips though it. I'm really pleases with the Spoiled line. So many choices with nifty names at a great price. Biggest draw back is that it's only at CVS. But don't worry if you don't have a CVS, you can still order online. Jailbait a perfect sitting by pool and relaxing color. It also glows pretty cool in black light. I noticed this at the bowling the other day.

really great sales going on now!

Hello hello! Wanted to give you guys a heads up on some really great deals going on now. If your like me and working a VERY tight budget, you don't have a lot of extra spending cash. So these deals are really a amazing way to stretch that beauty buck a little further:)

-Cherry Culture- pretty nice clearance sale. BUT! CC will stop carrying Sinful Colors.:( I know a lot of people who do not have access to the brand in their area and order most of their colors from here. Prices are from .50-1.25

-Sally Beauty- This weekend , in stores, Sally is taking a extra 50% off all red line items. Most stores have CG Hunger Games, Prismatic,and Metro for about $1.25. Orly colors for $2 and Finger Paints (not sure the price but I'm sure its cheap)

-Sephora- OMG! so many cool things on clearance. But the link takes you the polish clearance. Kat Von D and Nails Inc are the big winners for me. How Often can you find nails Inc. for $5??

Coming soon----

Walgreens will have all Sinful Colors polishes on sale for .99 starting Sunday July, 22. Amazing! I always miss this sale, but I will make sure to get there early and grab a few of the new releases before they are gone.
