MMC - Blue (Glam Polish)

Hello there! I'm back with a challenge post this week for the Mish Mash Challenge! This weeks theme is blue so I decided to go with a recent favorite indie polish, Glam Polish in Nickle Nackle.

 I picked up this beauty from Color4Nails. If you haven't checked out the site, its a must! This was the only Glam Polish I got from the shop and I'm wishing I purchased more! I freaking love the color and the glitters used in this polish. Application was simple and easy with no issues, I was extremely happy.

TIOT - Barielle and LynBDesigns

Hello ladies! I'm back after a few weeks with a Try It On Tuesday post for you! I've been busy as usual with my job but I never let it stop me from doing my nails. Since I'm ahead of the game for once, I have a few posts lined up with some of the new polish I've scored recently...I cant wait to show you!

Today's manicure is simple, I went with Barielle Welcome Ohm for my base and Old Fashioned Villain from LynBDesigns for my glitter topper.

Welcome Ohm is a pretty purple creme that I picked up in 5 pack at Marshall's for a sweet deal. I scored Old Fashioned Villain for free in a deal that LynBDesigns was having a month back on her Etsy shop. I love adding to my collection of indies and this one doesn't disappoint. 

Hope everyone is having a great week and until next time!

MMC - 30 Seconds to Mars Inspired Music Nails

Happy Labor Day to my American readers! I am back from my mini road trip/vacation to Denver, CO. I had such a great time, I really do love that city. The bf and I finally had the opportunity to tour the New Belgium brewery in Ft. Collins. I think that was the highlight of my trip, I love beer!

I'm finally getting around to posting last weeks Mish Mash challenge theme music. The first thing that popped into my head when I thought of music were CD's. I've recently been purchasing the actual CD instead of buying the album on iTunes. I think I like the idea of something tangible that I can hold. So I went to my stack of CD cases and the first one on top was the winner. This is my 30 Seconds to Mars inspired cover art mani.

I love 30 Seconds to Mars and loved their new album Love Lust Faith + Dreams. The cover art on this CD is colorful and catches the eye. They used a huge backdrop with the same print in their Up In the Air video and I just remember thinking PRETTY! I love dotticures because of how easy they are and since I was having a busy week last week I thought it was a perfect idea.

I used WnW A Blank Canvas for my base and about 18 different nail polish bottles in various brands and colors for my dots. I was really happy with my results, it turned out exactly how I envisioned it. Its a great feeling when you love your results.

MMC - Water Marble

Wednesday, yay! Only a few more days until the weekend! These last few weeks at work have been killing me but I am so grateful that I have a job, so no complaining right?

This weeks Mish Mash challenge was trying a technique that you've never tried before. Since I already had a base on from Essie For The Twill of It, I decided to try out the water marble technique. Holy Moses, this was a total pain! But I think it came out OK for my first shot.

I realized after I was done that this kind of nail art does not require perfection. Even though some bloggers are stellar at this kind of thing, I think its perfectly OK that each nail has its own thing going on. It was fun to wear but will for sure take some trial and error before I can be comfortable with this one. I ended up using Sinful Colors Black on Black, SH Xtremewear White On, Zoya Aurora and then topped it off with OTD Northern Lights top coat. Not too shabby right?

TIOT - Essie For TheTwill of It

Howdy howdy! I'm back for Try it On Tuesday with some awesomeness of a nail polish . I got a wonderful surprise gift from the lovely Natalie at Over The Top Coat (thank you :D) and was so excited that I tried it on the night it arrived in the mail.

Today I've got Essie For The Twill of It from the Fall 2013 Collection.

For The Twill of It is a stunning purpleish/grey duochrome with hints of green and blue. I fell in love when I saw the bottle and was hoping it would turn out just as beautiful on my nails and it did not disappoint! The color shift in the sunlight was so cool that I cant wait to get my hands on some more duochrome polish. This one lasted a few days too before it started to chip which is always a good thing. All around, I couldn't be happier with this pretty!

I shall be back tomorrow with MMC post featuring a nail art technique I've never tried before, so check back for that!
