Matesse blue crackle fun

I have to admit I am really excited about the glitter crackles from Sephora, if I weren't so into magnetic nail polish at the moment I would definitely splurge on them. Maybe I will in a few weeks after the christmas post season is over and my finances are (sort of) ahead of schedule. I have here the Mattesse dark purple crackle that is currently in Ricky's stores. It is one of my favorites, I've worn it with white, glitter, light blue. All of which are pretty bomb. I had a problem with my old purple crackle from china glaze, because I used it so much it dried out and I had to get polish thinner. At the time though it gave me an excuse to buy a new bottle of purple crackle- as I had none that worked. Here it is over an electric blue glitter.

Purple metallic crackle over dark purple

When I was going through my metallic crackle phase, another one of my favorite color combos was this guy- deep purple covered by purple metallic crackle. I got a lot of compliments on this one.

Shoe Nail art manicure

I decided to be really bad ass and create a silvery shoe nail art manicure. I used stamps from Amazon's bundle of nail art plates.

The pro of this manicure was that it was shoes, and the silver and purple(my awesome iphone camera doesn't do it justice..) the color combination looked really good in person. People kept complimenting me on it, at which point I told them it was a high heel design. At which point they either oo'd and aaah'd, or walked away from me slowly.

Oh, and yes, I took these photos on the train.

magnetic nail polish!

It is a real shame that this stuff is so expensive and pretty hard to find. I'm not sure if it will become a big trend, but I absolutley love it. I haven't bought a bottle because I'm too cheap, so I just go to sephora and do them there. 16$ a bottle is entirely too much money to pay for one nail polish, now.. I know I wouldn't have said anything like that a year ago when I had money to burn! They do have a brand called LCN thagt makes it in several different colors, but until then I will be stuck with Nails inc. Sephora is currently out of the green :( but the purple is nice! (can't you tell my cheap ass took the photos at the sephora lol)

dreams with creams. (I know I'm lame)

So after my really long, bad and terrible day my amazing hubby decided to surprise me with flowers and a new nail polish. (Don't act like your not all jealous, hes the best) He said he saw it in the store and that I didn't have anything like it- which means I actually don't. Its by nail hardener, which has a lot of colors and can be found at almost any store but it isn't three-free so don't eat it. The color has a lot of purple with blue shimmer, so in some lights it looks deep purple while in other lights it looks blue. It was very cool but the manicure didn't last well as I did it at like three AM yesterday amongst baking and cooking a chicken and God knows what else. I will combine this with a Konad once I can finally afford a proper set, I think the effect of this polish would be slammin with a red design on top to give it a full-body contrast. The other pics i have up are of my butter haul, a beautiful pinkish creme, one of my all time favorite colors in the history of life. back in the day I used to get my fake tips topped with an Essie lavender like this color, this mani reminds me very much of that color- the problem is if you write a lot in pen the pen gets stuck on it. :/

Anyways, I am super tired today, I have been working since nine and now its twelve thirty. My eyes are falling out of my face and I can't wait to go home, eat, drink and pass out in a pile of my own misery. Or my own money. Whichever is classier
