Hi Everyone! I was loving my Zoya Irresistibles matted SO MUCH I decided to keep em!! I stamped over them using my GALS set I got for my birthday in February lol! My son bought them for me and I could never wear them because my nails were so long. I guess that's the good thing about getting an occasional break!
I really love the look of these polishes matted! The are gorgeous!
Usually yellow doesn't look good on me, but Kerry is just stunning even on me!!
Even in the dark shade these are "hot" colors!
I'm definitely going to take the time to go back and mattefy all my Zoya metallics and foil finish polishes!!!
I stamped over this gorgeous skittles mani with Gals35 and I think the result is pretty schnazzy!
I've decided to set up a mini storage for all the newer colors I've gotten so I can actually use them! This means we should finally see something with the China Glaze Hologlam's, Ruby Wing, and Kiko Sugar Mat's not to mention the new Zoya's!!
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Happy New Year!
Hi Everyone! I'm a little early I know BUT no one does a mani for New Year's Day, you do one for New Year's Eve and it's usually all about the bling! I'm not a huge glitter person, there I've said it. When I first started this "obsession" I bought A LOT of glitters. Come to find out I'm not a huge fan of them lol! It's hard to stamp over glitters, especially the big chunky ones. We all know I almost always stamp which is why I don't wear a lot of chunky glitters.
When the China Glaze Prismatics came out I passed on them because I heard they were pretty gritty. My sweet friend Marissa got me the WetnWild Coloricon dupes for them though and I'm SO glad she did! These are really pretty glitters! Duochrome pigment with tiny sparkly glitter, easy to stamp over it's a win win!
I used the Coloricon's before to do my abalone shell mani so I decided to try them again for a New Year's Eve mani. After spending the day yesterday trying to figure out what I would wear for New Year's and this was the last one I did and the one I loved the most!
Basically I "blobbed" all five of the WetnWild Coloricons on each nail. It was really hard to get a good picture of this because I don't have a high tec camera, but here's a shot of it without stamping
I stamped over it using my new Gals set I got for Christmas and Cheeky
The Champagne Bottle and flutes are from CH09 and the Bubbles/Circles are from GA26
I put the bottle image on my thumb too but didn't take a pic with my thumb showing LOL!
Here's a pic in the shade so you can see the glitter when it's subdued
I'm pretty happy with this mani!!!
A few of my friends thought it would be great to do a mani for New Year's Eve as well be sure to check them out! Happy New Year to you all!!!!!

This could be an obsession!
Hi Everyone! OMG I just cannot believe how much I love this Sally Hansen Save The Date! I did ANOTHER gradient with it and super loved it, wore it for an entire day AND THEN stamped over it to get another day's wear out of it! I know I say this all the time but I think I want to marry Save The Date!
Here is the gorgeous gradient I did using it and Pure Ice Girl's Best Friend
I just really love the gorgeous rich color of Save The Date
Here's a friendly tip though don't abbreviate it how we often do for polish like how Mad As A Hatter is abbreviated MAAH or Vampire State Building is VSB because Save The Date is STD!
Pure Ice Girl's Best Friend is a super lovely bordeaux with teeny holographic sparkle! It complimented Save The Date perfectly!
I wore the mani as above for a whole day and LOVED it! Then this morning I stamped over it and loved it all over again!
I used a swirly design from Gals 44 and China Glaze Passion. I often refer to Passion as the McGuyver of stamping because it has saved many a mani for me!
I think this turned out fantastic!
If you don't have Save The Date you love the burgundy and wine colored polishes get out to pick one up ASAP!!
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Merry Christmas!
A blessed Merry Christmas to you all! Today is my first day off work since November 26th! What better way to celebrate Christmas than with a day away from the hustle and bustle of pastry sales! Of course here I am in my pajamas eating a delicious pecan kringle LOL! I spent Christmas Eve with my family last night, a tradition we have had for years. I thought it would be unbearable to have the night without my dad BUT while it was very sad it was also a very wonderful time spent with my family. I was so proud of my mom who made it a nice evening for us--I know her heart is broken and I know how hard it is to get up everyday and just live without my dad. I sat in his chair because I couldn't bear for it to be empty. We shared some good memories and made some new ones!
Today I have another simple mani but I love how it turned out. I did a gradient using Zoya Suvi, Orly Meet Me Under The Mistletoe, and Sinful Colors Call U Later. The result was actually very subtle but I really loved it!
You'd think green nail polish just wouldn't look good, but I love it! It's definitely becoming another "problem" color for me!
Instead of this being an in your face gradient it's really subtle
These are the colors I used to do the gradient
And because I got some nice stamping plates from my son, aka the cameraman, for Christmas I stamped over it using Gals GA27
Thanks for stopping by! I wish a blessed Merry Christmas to you all!!!
