Nfu Oh 51 + Zoya Neeka

Soooooooooooooooooooooo.....if you are still out there reading, this is an awesome polish combination. I took a trillion pictures, so I'm gonna put a break in here so people with slower computers can load this page eventually. Click below the jump to see one coat of Nfu Oh 51  over 2 coats of Zoya Neeka.

Sad Day

Hey Guys,

I took a motherload of pictures of my current mani and realized that I had a huge backlog of pics from the summer that I never edited and uploaded. Only one problem, I cannot find my card reader to transfer my pictures! I think I lost it when I was baking in the dorm kitchen...sigh. My new card reader should be here tomorrow so I'll try to get a new post up by Wednesday. I'll just leave you with this picture of some delicious cupcakes I baked a few weeks ago.

Chocolate & Strawberry Cupcakes!

World's Slowest Blogger. Ever.

Yeah, I'm slow....I had this mani a couple weeks ago...and never posted it...school is such a bugger. Anyways, enjoy the pics of 2 coats of Zoya Shay with one coat of Pretty n Polished Valentino...because I'm a sucker for nude colors as well as black and white glitter. Sorry I didn't have the bottles on me when I took the pics!

If you still read my blog, you are clearly way cooler than me and you should be reading some awesome blog with awesome swatches... but thank you for reading anyways!

Love Always,

J

Charcoal Goodness!

So I was in a super hurry to get supplies for cupcakes today and I had been dreaming of this mani, so I decided to do it today! It was super easy because I only needed one coat of each, and 2 coats of topcoat. Scroll down and see the magical goodness that is Concrete Catwalk topped with Some Like It Haute!

This was the only clear shot I could get with my camera. It was that sparkly!!! But please, enjoy the blurred holo goodness in the next photos!

And yes, I did file down my nails. It took forever! I keep telling myself to file them down before they get that long, but I get lazy sometimes. And I like how my nails look long, but they really aren't functional...especially for typing on my phone's keyboard. Hope you had a great Sunday!

May your nails never break,

Pretty & Polished Comparison

I'm back with nail photos! Finally! So yesterday Ashley asked me to do a comparison of Pretty & Polished's Jawbreaker and Party on My Yacht. I'm still using my old camera, so this is the best I can do!

At first glance in the bottles, you can see that Jawbreaker's base color isn't as white as Party on my Yacht.

Jawbreaker is on my thumb, middle, and pinky fingers while Party on my Yacht is on my index and ring fingers. Both are shown with 2 coats, after which, you will still have VNL. I don't mind it, though! You can see the slight difference in base colors here, but I promise, it's more apparent in real life.

Sorry, this pic sucks soooo bad! But anyway, the glitter is clearly different in the two. Party on my Yacht has mainly small round glitter with a few strands of bar glitter. Jawbreaker has varied sizes of hex glitter and some microglitter as well as a few strands of the same green bar glitter. Do you need both? Ummmm....I did. Jawbreaker is slightly harder to apply because of the larger glitter, but both apply pretty will without glitter clumping. You can purchase these polishes here when her Etsy shop reopens.

Wow....it was a rough first post, but I'm glad to have something to post!

Urban Decay on Hautelook!

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up! Urban Decay is on Hautelook today! They have Book of Shadows IV for $29 and the Stash 24/7 Glide On Eyeshadow Pencil Set for $12! They also have the old packaging for the primer potion and the Sparkling Body Powders in Cocoa, Honey, and Marshmallow. It appears that Urban Decay is getting rid of the Body Powders because they are on sale on their site as well. Get them now for $9! OK, I'll stop promoting Urban Decay now, but click here to be directed to the sale on Hautelook.

Happy Monday everyone!

Oh You're Alive...

No wait, it's me who's alive. Today makes exactly 4 months since I last posted. Sorry! I really missed blogging! I got weighed down with classes (I'm graduating with a Bachelor's in Biology in June!) and then my camera went  "Kaput"! So I'm hoping to have enough saved to buy a new camera buy the end of February, so I probably won't be blogging with any nail pics before then, but I promise to be back before March ends! If anyone wants to do a guest post or just send me pics of their nails so I can post them, you can email them to life.nailpolish@yahoo.com or you can just enjoy the silence from my blog for another month. Hope to show you guys pics before then!
