Nails: Don't Bite Me!
The adventures of a Nail Biter trying not to be.
Watch as I stumble around trying to give myself the perfect manicure.
OPI San Francisco Collection for Fall/Winter 2013
San Francisco by OPI brings street chic style with West Coast flair to nails and toes for Fall/Winter 2013. This new collection features a palette ranging from sky and sea-colored hues of blues and gray to reds, burgundies and browns inspired by some of the city’s most iconic elements – Chinatown, the Golden Gate bridge and the Embarcadero.
San Francisco by OPI will be available August 7, 2013.
It’s been awhile and that’s for a very specific reason. The stress of the holidays have killed my nails. They look terrible right now. So here is an old photo of one of my layer experiments.
I was attempting to imitate the ButterLondon polish Knackered.
Polishes:
Pure Ice - Black Rage
Alternating layers of:
Wet ‘n Wild - Gray’s Anatomy
China Glaze - Fairy Dust
The polish didn’t really photograph as well as I had hoped, but in person the purple/green duo-chrome is very pretty.
Colors:
OPI - Road House Blues
Wet ‘n Wild - Saved by the Blue
Lynnderella - Mademoiselle Violette de Bleu
Lynnderella - Bride of Franken
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I recently made a semi-big move which led to many a broken nail (and a few that I chewed myself).
Nails are still healing as you see from this photo, but thought it was time to post something.
Colors:
A-England - Avalon
Nicole by OPI - Kendall on the Katwalk
I wouldn’t be a true nail polish nerd if my attention wasn’t split between Michelle Obama’s speech and her gorgeous blue nail polish. The fact that blue nail polish is now considered classy enough to be donned by the First Lady at the Democratic National Convention fills me with warm feelings. lol

Due to some unfortunate accidents and timing… my nails look horrible. So here’s just a quick peek at my early birthday present to myself.
**OPI - Just Spotted the Lizard
I’ve been lusting after the Chanel polish for… well it seems like forever. I never made it out to the stores when the Spiderman collection first came out and was worried I’d missed my chances. Yet today on a fluke trip to the store I caught sight of it and knew that I needed it in my life.
NOTD:
China Glaze - Deviantly Daring
China Glaze - Life’s a Beach
Sally Hansen - Silver Sweep
I wanted to showcase my new polish from China Glaze’s Bohemian Collection and at the same time saw CutePolish’s Braided Nails tutorial. So I did this. I love how this came out.
