OPI - DS Mystery

It has been a while and that is to be expected because I am back at school.  The summer is officially over.  I recently picked up OPI DS Mystery.  I know it is an older polish, but I was in the mood for a dark color this Halloween season and I cannot resist the OPI Designer Series.  It goes on so smoothly and has gold sparkles, but they are hard to see in this picture.  I also used a some new Big Ruby tatoos purchased by none other than my sister for my birthday.  I just noticed that Big Ruby has some new tatoos and they are worth checking out.  Anyway, I am going to try to post more frequently, but I cannot make any promises.  My sister and I have been experimenting with Konad plates and we will be posting them soon.

Chanel - Peridot

Can you say "paradise in a bottle"?  This polish goes on like a dream and sparkles like you would not believe.  Every girl should have this one in their collection.  I dare you to try it and you won't be able to stop staring at your nails.  ♥

Zoya - Caitlin

Hello Ulta!  Yesterday my sister and I went to Ulta and we picked up some awesome polishes.  We were overwhelmed with all of the polishes:  Butter London, Zoya, DS OPI, Essie (new), and Orly.  Here is the first swatch of many to come from our excellent shopping trip.  I used (Zoya) Caitlin and (Orly) Fowl Play as an accent nail.  The flecks on the accent nail are fabulous.  I may need to get a better picture so you can see them later.  Stay tuned for more swatches.  I would recommend Ulta in a heartbeat. 

Orly - Flirty

I just love this bright pink color for summer.   I decided I wanted to try the gradual sparkly tips.  It went okay, but I had to do them a couple of times and still think they did not turn out perfect.  I guess they went okay for my first time with the sponge.  I used Orly - Flirty and KatyPerry - Teenage Dream.

CND Shellac French Tips

This is a post from our good friend Becky.  She is our guest blogger for the week and we would like to share the manicure she did at her salon - Reagan and Ruby on Brady St. in Milwaukee, WI.  You will be seeing more of her in the future.  Enjoy!!!!

Gel Nails - Pink tips

My sister and I had our nails done at Bella Nail and Spa for my sister's wedding.  I know this is cheating because we did not paint them, but we wanted to share the picture anyway.  The nails were painted with a with a gel coating.  They should last 14 days.

Pretty in Pink

After much deliberation and a phone call to my sister, I decided to purchase OPI Rally Pretty Pink & Red Shatter.  These colors came together and are part of the Serena Glam Slam collection.  I wanted the Rallly Pretty Pink and Katie wanted the Red Shatter, so it worked out perfect.  Here is the Rally Pretty Pink and Red Shatter.  I just love the pink with gold sparkles and it reminds me of Zoya Faye, which I considered ordering online until I found this.

I ended up changing the pictures because my mom came over and took some fabulous pictures with her camera.  They turned out much better than mine.
