I'm really in love with this look! I started with Orly Nite Owl, sponged on some Sinful Snow Me White, then used Revlon Colorstay French Roast to stamp on the animal print. Topped it all off with a coat of Out the Door Northern Lights!</div>

This one is a bit of a dud. I used Zoya Evvie, then using a dotting tool, dotted on Sinful Snow Me White, and a dark pink Wet N Wild mini (not sure of the name). I used NYC Matte Me Crazy to mattify everything. Just an eh ok kind of mani. I think different colors would look great, and maybe this is just a more fall/winter look.</div>

Love love love this! I used Orly Lollipop on thumb, index, and pinky fingers, and Orly Velvet Rope on my middle and ring fingers. I used the flower stickers from my May Nail Art Society kit (see pic below).</div>

This would be a good Easter mani I think, but these colors, to me, are just classic. </div>

I think it is so classy looking (especially the black and white) and I wanted to give it a try. I had started with a coat of white, and then 2 coats of Orly - Elation Generation. I really really wanted to like this polish, it is so stinking pretty in the bottle! And maybe if i wore it on its own, or maybe over a dark pink, I will like it. But with wearing it over white, it just looked thick. I used a black striper, which I have used previously and haven't had any issues; maybe using such a long, thin brush was NOT the way to go! I will have to try again using a nail art brush, one that is a little shorter, and easier (for me) to control.<br />
I do like the idea of this combo of colors, but wow does this look BAD! :)<br />
My husband even asked me if I thought it was Halloween!<br />

How exciting is that?? I mean the picture of all those prizes is amazing, but seeing the number "62"? That's so much! <br />
I have no idea how Crystal of Valentine Kisses fit all those items into one USPS box! But she did, and my daughter and I had a blast opening it all up!<br />
<br />
Just a warning: this is going to be really pic heavy!!<br />

I haven't used any stamping plates in quite a while, so I decided to pull them out and give them a spin. I have a Shany collection, and while they are nice, some of the prints just aren't big enough to cover my whole nail. I have some other random ones: Konad and 1 or 2 Born Pretty plates. I need to invest in Bundle Monster, or Nailz Craze! <div>
So here is what I came up with: I used a base of Zoya - Erika, a very pale pink with a golden shimmer. I found this to be really streaky, but I knew I'd be covering it up with stamping, so I wasn't too miffed. For stamping, I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri - Magenta Motion.</div>

Ugh, please mind the dried-out cuticles! I really liked this look, but as you can see on my middle finger, and even my pinky, there are some bare spots from where the plate image just was not big enough. I tried to re-stamp on my index and ring finger, but it started looking a little too jumbled. Again, not too bothered, this was a vine pattern so it's meant to be wandering and not too uniform. </div>

I had an episode of insomnia last night, and decided to use some striping tape and add some french tips. I used a new-to-me polish brand, Fresh Paint, that I purchased at Five Below. The polishes were 3 for $5, so how could I not buy 3?? The polish I used for the tips was Dragon Lady. I thought it was a foily turquoise, but I guess I was wrong! It's definitely a green shimmer/foil. Application was great for being a cheaper polish. And this was way different from looks that I usually wear! Would this be a prom look? I have no idea, I never went to prom! I'm not sure that is it work-appropriate, so I'll probably be changing it before the work week begins.</div>

I free-handed the black lines using a Color Club black striper polish. </div>

And in this pic, you can see how someone not that great at using a striper can fail!</div>

I have a pretty steady hand, but with stripers, you can very easily go from a thin line to a thick line, and you can see how that happened. Part of that thick line on my ring finger was not getting <i>right</i> on that line between green and pink with the striper, so I was compensating. It's really not that noticeable in person as I don't think anyone is going to inspect my nails, but I notice it. Practice Practice Practice!!</div>

Of course it's always a tad depressing to be back home, especially when you think to yourself, wow, last week at this time I was walking on the sand and picking up seashells! <br />
It <i>was</i> nice to come home to some nail mail though! I received my first Ipsy bag, which was pretty nice. The Zoya polish I received was Piaf. I was a little unhappy at first, there are some really pretty, light pastels in the Lovely collection, and I received the only one that probably would not look great with my skin tone But after owning it for a few days, I thought, why would I want another polish that looks like other polishes that I own? I don't own anything that looks like Piaf! So, I'm ok with it now, lol. I'm sure I'll use it at some point, even if it's just for nail art.<br />
<br />
This is Essie - Your Hut or Mine, my first Essie! It's a really pretty dark coral color with a nice pink shimmer. I didn't get a pic of it before adding some nail art though. For that, I used some other nail mail that was waiting for me, Nail Art Society - May 2013. And for some awesome and amazing reason, I received 2 packs!! I wasn't billed for the second one, so I'm not sure what happened. I've been a member for 3 months now, and this is the first time I've received a second pack. Not complaining, it was actually pretty cool!<br />
So in the pack was a collection of 3 stripers: orange, yellow, and a pretty glitter. I used the glitter striper to freehand some tips over Your Hut or Mine, and then completely fill in my pinky:<br />

Then, I used the "marbleizing" pen to dot on some..dots! It didn't look too bad, but the color combo was off. I think the tips/dots would look much better over a paler purple or ivory/white shade. I was just playing around with the striper and marbleizing pen, so I wasn't really thinking about how the colors worked.<br />

I'm so excited; we're only staying for 2 nights, but it's a well-needed break! <br />
I've known about this little trip for a while, and 2 weeks ago decided to give the Orly Nailtrition regimen a go just to get my nails in really nice shape for the vacation. It didn't really work out so well! I wasn't able to continue to put coats on night after night, and my nails actually seemed to suffer from not having the usual 4-5 coats as with a regular mani. So I don't think I'll be trying that again! <br />
Here is the mani I decided on:<br />

For this, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear-Golden-I. I then used striping tape for the somewhat crisp lines, and then went over Golden-I with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri-Peachy Breeze. Peachy Breeze was really thick, and the brush is so weirdly shaped. I know a lot of people like the shaped brushes, but I just have a hard time with them! And quick drying polishes aren't very forgiving. Thankfully, a good thick topcoat can cover a multitude of errors!! I then used Seche Vite top coat, and then another topcoat of Out the Door's Northern Lights in Silver. This was my first try with striping tape, so I don't think I did <i>too</i> badly, but practice will hopefully make better, if not perfect!</div>

Here is what I did for my toes, which, I won't show you my whole foot, just my big toes! I used ELF nail polish in Mint Cream. I then stuck on decals as you can see. Everything got a nice coat of Out the Door's Northern Lights in Silver. I just love that sparkle!</div>

I had 3 nails break on April 18, it is now April 29, a full 11 days later, and my nails really have not grown that much. Which is kind of weird to me, they had been growing pretty quickly, especially after filing them down. I've been taking Biotin supplements, which is supposed to help with nail growth, but maybe it works the opposite way in me!! Whatever the case, I figured it was a good time to do a round of Orly Nailtrition. I'm also going on vacation in exactly 2 weeks, which is the length of time Orly suggests for the regimen of Nailtrition.<br />
<br />
The bottles reads: "Nailtrition helps strengthen peeling and splitting nails. Collagen, protein, keratin, and bamboo extract help stimulate healthier, faster growth." <br />
The directions: "Week 1 - apply 1-2 coats daily. Remove at end of week. Week 2 - Repeat. Repeat 2 week program as necessary, waiting 1 week before reapplication." <br />

I've used this before, but not for the 2 week period it suggests. I had used it for maybe 4 or 5 days. I get antsy to use a nail color or nail art! Luckily, this treatment has a very pretty pinkish sheen to it. It does look a little like a polish color, not just clear. <br />
<br />
Ok, so here are my bare nails, lefty and righty:<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">They look really dry and peely and filed weirdly..just a mess!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know it's kind of hard to tell from these pics, but there is such a pretty pink shimmer; when I think of nail treatments, I think of clear polish that makes my nails look really stark. This is pretty! When I used this treatment previously, I remember the polish holding up really well; there was not a lot of chipping or tipwear. Although, when you are putting 1-2 coats on a day, any tipwear will be covered up! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />I'm going to try to post everyday, just to show the coats, and if there is any chipping or basic wear/tear. I'm really hoping for some stronger and longer nails by the end of 2 weeks! I have a <a href="http://jessicasnailtales.blogspot.com/2013/04/floral-tips.html">mani</a> in mind that I want to try for vacation! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Has anyone else tried out this treatment? Has it worked for you? I'd love to know!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks for reading!</div>

It's from the Mariah Carey collection by OPI, a liquid sand called The Impossible. This is such a pretty color, it's pink and coral, with pink and silver glitter, at least I think they are silver! There are also silver stars! I usually don't have luck with star glitters, my nail beds are very rounded, and they just do not lay nicely. They tend to pop up and snag on everything, and I end up picking them off. Gotta say though that they look really pretty in the bottle! <br />

I REALLY like this color, I think it looks great on my transparent (ha!) skin.<br />
Oh yeah, and it's liquid sand! It feels like super-fine sandpaper, but in a good way. It does not snag or catch on my clothes, it's just textured enough to feel cool. Even though it has a matte finish, because of the glitter, it really shines. I'll probably put a top coat on it just to make it last a little longer, and I bet that added shine will look superb!!<br />

Not sure if this goes well with my skin tone, or my shorty nails, but I really like this polish! This was actually over 3 coats of Sally Hansen - Fog. I screwed up some light nail art over Fog, and decided just to cover it up with Peach Pop!!<br />
<br />
This one is Birthday Bash..how appropriate!! In the bottle, the polish looks like a black-based, glitter bomb, full of silver hexes, black and aqua glitter, and black bars. But it actually has a super-light aqua base. I put 1 coat of Birthday Bash over 2 coats of Sally Hansen - Celeb City. I really like how the base of Celeb City made this polish look really foil-y. <br />

And they are MAJOR nubbins! I can't even post a pic, my daughter somehow canceled out the wi-fi on my phone, and I can't remember the password (it's maintained by my husband, who is at work). Gah.

I've finally gotten around to using these 2 colors though! I made the mistake of looking on the internet for the full collection, and found that each one of these polishes came with a matching insect or animal ring. I knew that you got a ring when you bought these colors, but my Sally's was all out of the rings, and I really missed out. :( The rings were pretty darn awesome. I <i>did</i> win Owlin' At The Moon that had the owl ring, so that is a bit of a consolation! :)<br />
Isn't it special? <br />

This is 2 coats of Itsy Bitsy Spider, a realy sheer medium purple with a gorgeous blue shimmer. And the blue shimmer <i>does </i>translate on the nail! I hate when a polish has a lovely shimmer that stays in the bottle. I want it on my nail! I then used a thick-ish coat of Fishin' for Fun, a clear-based polish full of pink and fuchsia/ magenta shards. When I purchased the polish, I mistakenly thought these were flakies, which lie flat against the nail. Some of these shards, while not in the "taco" realm, did pop up. That drives me crazy! I pulled those off and put another top coat on (Seche Vite used first, then Sally Hansen Diamond Flash) and all is well. Some spots are still a little bumply, but I can deal with that. It's nothing that will catch on clothes or my hair. I hope you like!!<br />

I guess I posted these out of order! This is the first package I received from the Nail Art Society in March 2013. I didn't really know what to expect, but I had heard some good things about it. The cost was only $9.95, so I figured if I didn't like it/didn't want to continue to receive it, I'm only out 10 bucks. Not to bad right? Well I DID like it! <br />

It's really hard to see what was receive, sorry about that! What I received was: one pack of Nail Fraud nail decals, a pot of caviar beads in green, a pot of iridescent blue flowers, a pot of iridescent beads, a pot of fimo apple slices, and a little baggie of flowers.</div>
<div>

I really love nail polish strips, like Sally Hansen. I love that it is actual polish that "dries" and cures. These Nail Fraud strips were basically stickers for your nails. They did stick really firmly and didn't slide around or anything like that. The best thing with these stickers is that they fit my nails PERFECTLY. Better than any other nail strips/decals I've ever used. And I really love the print! I was really hoping they would last well. Unfortunately, they ended up with major tipwear (even though I used a topcoat), and in some places, peeled back on the sides of my nail. I was really sad about that, but kind of figured that would happen on account of them being stickers rather than actual nail polish. All that said, if given the chance to try them out again, I would! They would at least be good for a day, or an evening out. Here is how they looked:</div>

I have not had a chance to use any of the other items received, mainly because they just aren't practical for my life! I have a 19 month old, and work full time during the week. So beads/flowers/anything that sticks out on my nails I just can't rock right now! That doesn't mean I don't want to hoard those things though... ;)<br />
<br />
What do you think? Has anyone else used these Nail Fraud stickers?<br />

I received my second package from the Nail Art Society today, and boy was it a good one!! I liked the one from March, but a lot of people seemed to complain. I liked it just fine; for $9.95, you really get a good variety. And hey, some months are maybe not going to be as good as others. It's ten bucks! If you don't like it, cancel it. ANYWAY, here is what I received!!<br />

I am really pleased with everything I received this month, and I cannot wait to use it! <br />
I also received a "sneak preview" of May's package, and it is a TON of stuff!! I'll post that one when I receive it. :) </div>

Does anyone else belong to the Nail Art Society? What do you think of this month's pack? I'd love to hear from you! </div>

(OPI - Mariah Carey Liquid Sand)I won another giveaway a few weeks ago, by Jodi @ <a href="http://captivatingclaws.blogspot.com/">Captivating Claws</a>, and received the polishes yesterday (4/12/13). The polishes I won were all 4 OPI Mariah Carey Liquid Sands!! Isn't that cool? I hope these polishes aren't as..catchy as the China Glaze Texture polish was (although to be honest, once I threw a topcoat on the CG Texture polish, it was fine).<br />

This scared me, and kept me from ordering many times! But this time, I went through with it. Numerous other bloggers have referenced this website, so I figured it must be safe. And it was. <br />
<br />
I bought one of the new China Glaze Texture polishes, called Itty, Bitty & Gritty!<br />

What do you think? I know this textured polish is probably a fad, with a lot of brands jumping on the wagon. I like this one though, it's a pretty color, and the texture <i>is</i> interesting. I did use topcoat with this because the "texture" tended to catch on my clothes. I don't think it would have damaged my clothes, but the feeling was annoying!<br />
<br />

I tend to just post pics of manicures on Facebook because it's so quick to do (and I get <i>immediate</i> feedback!) So here are some that I posted there, and some that I didn't. My cuticles have been a real PITA for a while now, so please don't be too grossed out!<br />
<br />
Also, after looking through my pics, I realized, a snapshot of my mani is not complete until I hold something in my hand. What is up with that? Lol! :)<br />

Hey there! It's been almost 3 and a half months since a new post..I think it's a little overdue! It's so hard though to try to get a post done with a 19 month old running around! Anyway, this post will be all about the lovely and wonderful and thoughtful prizes I won from <a href="http://www.lacquermesilly.com/" target="_blank">LacquerMeSilly</a>. She really put a TON of thought and care into this giveaway. I'm actually under-exaggerating! </div>
<br />
So here is the screenshot she took of the giveaway prizes:<br />

Awesome prizes right??<br />
<br />
I totally thought there would be Easter candy in those eggs. And while she did send candy, there were polishes and a super cool cuticle balm in those babies!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So here is my pic of everything (not as neatly put together as her pic!):<br />

</div>
My husband was super nice enough to buy me a <a href="http://www.michaels.com/3-Drawer-Organizer-Cube/sb3460,default,pd.html?start=26&cgid=products-scrapbooking-storage">Melmer</a> for Christmas!! It's not really called a Melmer..it's just the Michael's version of the Ikea-made Helmer, which is a lot more expensive. Anyway, here are some pics; the nail polishes aren't really ordered nicely, and I still need to get sticky shelf paper so they aren't sliding all over the place! I can't believe I have 326 nail polishes, and as you can see, there is room for more!!<br />

I originally was going to use Trendy Wraps, in Peppermint Swirl. They were super-cute, a swirl of red and white with silver stars. But the "wraps" were very thick, and even though I used a hair dryer to help them conform a little better to my nail, they were just crappy. I did not throw them away, I guess I could just use them as stickers!!<br />
<br />
So I decided to use one of my Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail strips in "Checker Out", a green and white plaid. I used a medium-sized dotting tool and China Glaze "Ruby Pumps" for the dots. I think it turned out quite nicely, especially since this is the first time I've used a dotting tool!<br />

I do have a lot of perfumes, but I never seem to remember to wear them. It's also kind of hard to put them on in the morning before work since I don't want to wake my baby up!! This mini perfume was perfect for just slipping in my purse.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the point of this review isn't about the size of the perfume bottle!!<br />

While I tend to like more fruity/light scents, I did really like this Forever Red. It's a very warm scent, and is perfect for the wintertime/holidays. It almost smells woodsy to me. The notes that are blended in this perfume are listed below. After reading through them, I can now pick out the vanilla rum! Or maybe it's just more noticeable after the fragrance spray has settled. I can't really smell the peach or pomegranate, even though those are listed first.<br />
<br />
I would be interested in the lotion version of this scent, and also the sugar scrub and shimmer mist!<br />

This baby works super great!! I saved it for my mini-vacation, and it saved me from having to pack shaving cream or gel. I do wish there was a travel case, that would make travelling with this razor even easier. <br />

This seemed to be the best position (in this casino shower anyway!) to help this razor to dry after using:<br />

This razor is great in the wintertime, when skin can be really dry. Those extra-moisturizing Olay bars are great for that extra boost of silkiness!<br />

Also, this razor seems to be good in smaller shower spaces. It seems in hotels/motels the shower/tub space may be smaller than what you're used to. I didn't have the stretch-out space while on vacation last week, and with this razor, you really don't need it. You also don't need to avoid the shower spray, which will wash away any shaving cream. Shower spray actually helps in the case of this razor!!<br />
<br />
I don't think I captured it too well, but there are amazing little sparkles in the button that releases the razor blade. It's a tiny little enhancement that you might not even notice, but it's the little things like that that can make a razor special! <br />

I do love that no matter which razor blade you prefer, ANY will fit with ANY Venus handle. ANY!! How convenient! That is another great plus. <br />

After using both for about 2 weeks, I would purchase these pens once these run out. I really like these pens!<br />
It's hard to remember though that you are using an erasable pen after using non-erasable pens and white-out for so long. I would make a mistake, white it out, and then write over it with an erasable pen! Not too hard to break that habit, but wasn't able to test the "eraser" out for a couple days!<br />
<br />

<br />
There are numerous pros for these pens. Obviously, they are erasable! The eraser works extremely well. There is hardly any evidence of previous writing. I did test out drawing a big splotch with the black pen and then erasing (sorry no pic!), and there was a shadow, but it was not super noticeable. I was quite impressed! When erasing, the ink does not smudge or run, it is nicely erased. The ink in the pen dries quickly and does not smudge or bleed. Also, the ink does not bleed or pull when highlighted, which is a big plus! The "eraser" does not appear to work like a pencil eraser, meaning that there are not eraser shavings to brush away. The eraser stays intact after multiple uses, nor does it become discolored.<br />
The eraser also works well for ink that is a few days old. I tested this on ink that had been dry for 5 days, and after erasing (again, sorry no pics!) there was no ink to be seen!<br />
<br />
These are very comfortable pens to hold; they are not too light nor too heavy. I've used these pens all day at work (8+ hours) and never did my hand/fingers get a groove in them from writing with these pens. My hand never felt crampy from holding this pen and writing with it. <br />
<br />
There are only two cons I could think of. One is that the black pen is not a deep black, it's more of a charcoal or dark grey. It was quite noticeable at first, but after using it for more than a week, I'm used to it, so it's fine. The pink is a gorgeous, vibrant pink, I absolutely love it!! It also erases exactly like the black pen, no leftover ink.<br />
The second con is that the eraser is on the pen body, rather than the cap. I like to write with the cap on the end of the pen, and it does get kind of annoying to always have to take the cap off of the pen to erase. Not sure if the eraser just attaches to the pen body better than the cap, or what, but I would like to try a version with the eraser on the cap. <br />
<br />
Other than those 2 very minor things, I really really enjoy using both of these pens, and would definitely purchase in the future. I would also be interested in trying out red, blue, and purple versions (if they exist).<br />
