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
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.
Another Olympic look for this week*.
I had to show my nation pride! USA! U! S! A! Gotta support my boys on the US Swim Team! Go for Gold! : )
*My Olympic rings need a little work, lol
Colors:
Sally Hansen ID - Co-balt Blue
Sally Hansen ID - Silver Sweep
OPI - Big Apple Red
OPI - Animalistic
A-england - Holy Grail
China Glaze - Blonde Bombshell
Cover Band - Sticks ‘n Stones
Something bright and neon for the summer.
Nina Ultra Pro - Lime Light
China Glaze - Blonde Bombshell
OPI - Thrill in Beverly Hills
If the green looks splotchy to you… its because it is. Lime Light was the most stubborn difficult… most annoying polish I think I have ever worked with… so yeah…
Because I just cannot get enough of Max Factor - Fantasy Fire.

Colors:
OPI - Mermaid Tears
Nerd Lacquer - All of Space and Time
There’s a real thin coat of Mermaid Tears as a base just to achieve opacity and then two coats of All of Space and Time.
Like all Nerd Lacquers the formula on this was perfect and so easy to work with and ohmygoodness just check out those colors and sparkles.

Johanna Mason is my girl. I seriously love her.
I don’t do much freehand nail art, but I really wanted to give it another try for this nail design so I went with a tree, but used my dotting tools for the leaves. I’m pretty happy with it, and I’m ecstatic about my new green flakie from Sinful Colors.
China Glaze released Mahogany Magic as it’s District 7 polish, but that was the only color from the collection I didn’t purchase. I love brown polish, but that one just did not speak to me.
