Crackle nail polishes official post

okay, so for weeks i've been obsessing over the new collection that OPI is making w Serena williams and Katy Perry, the Katy Perry colors are awesome, and the SHATER POLISH that both collections will include is a must have for anyone at all who enjoys nail polish. This polish is black, and it goes over a base color, and it shatters, revealing some of the color on the bottom. It crackles into chunky black pieces, looking like an awesome design and never coming out quite the same. Here is a link I must have watched two hundred times showing off the Katy Perry colors w the Shatter. Amazing.

These colors do not come out until January tho, and I simply cannot wait that long. I read on several blogs that BarryM makes a dupe called Nail effects, and there are several crackle polishes on Ebay that remind me of the old covergirl crackle polishes I had when I was nine. They even have other colors except black. I bought one of these off of ebay, and youll notice that the cracks are much smaller on this one, but it is still a very very cool effect.

Oh and as usual don't hate on the paint on my fingers, I know i'm a lazy manicurist, and most of these pictures are shiny because I put some nice lotion I got at sephora, every girl needs a little moisture, right? oy.. that came out wrong

Bridal Shower nails

So sunday was my bridal shower, and it was a lovely success. A bunch of my friends threw it from one of my jobs, my mom, my moms friends, aunts, uncles, coworkers, friends, everyone was there. I had a bunch of great friends help me bring back my things to my apartment, and they even helped me clean up. It was fabulous. I decided to straighten my hair for the event, something I always never do as my hair is very dry as it is, and blowing it out and straightening it with an iron not only takes a lot of patience but it also does a lot of damage to my hair. The girls that i used to babysit came, and they all wrote me lovely little keepsake cards and overall it was just amazing. For my nails, the night before or the day before was a long day so I didn't really care about my mani, but i put on victoriana by butter. Sunday morning I woke up and decided to put on a purple silver glitter( one of the OPI's burlesque glitters. Amazing) I scored a bunch of hot lengerie, some great candles and oil sticks to make my house smell amazing, flowers, giftcards, wine glasses. It was simply chic and amazing and I am so happy and thankful. enjoy pix

Glitter nails

hey all

So I ordered a ton of nail polish from sephora because i had 25 % off or something plus free shipping. here is midnight mambo, really cute color but unfortunately the polish goes on so thick and takes around ten years to come off.

Me and my friend Clarice basically spent all of last week working on a project from hell, but on the last night before the thing was due, i did both of our nails AND Ihsan got me a beautiful amethyst ring.

Amethyst is my fav. And it makes up for the fact that this week I wont be working much or making much money. ugh
