Polish My Life | MUSCAT MARTINI

I will start by stating the obvious....my new nubs. I mentioned I had to cut them down in another post but since have chipped two nubs on two different hands! So this was the better looking hand of the two. I can't stress how frustrating this has become. Anywho.....on to my new favorite Indie brand polish!

Today I have another "Untried". I've had this polish in my stash for sometime. I swatched it of course when I first bought it but never wore it.

Spring Nails

 

Somehow this manicure got lost. I posted on Instagram but forgot to do a post on it.

Zoya Nail polish in Farah

 

I'm playing catch up with my posts. It's been a hectic few weeks for me. I try and schedule post but sometimes I can only get one post up. But I'm improving. I really enjoy posting my nails and watching my growth.

Pastel Peach/Orange spring nails

 

I've been really into my pastel polishes lately. Pastel colors just say SPRING to me. Also I love a great peach colored polish.

Femme Fatale | Burning Blossom

Earlier in the week I did a post on some nail mail I received from Color4Nails. I decided to do an individual swatch of this color by Femme Fatale in the color Burning Blossom.

Color Club | Disco Dress

 

Happy Friday!! I have never been so glad to see a week end! My sick little one was cleared by the doctor to go back to school and lucky me I had no clients today so I was able to get some swatches, 2 manis and a little nail haul in. I intended to stay in and do absolutely nothing today but later decided to get out and definitely change my manicure!

Finger Paints | Brown and Gold Chevron nails

I was going to start by saying how much I love Brown nail polish. Then I realized...I love nail polish period!! Yes green is my favorite color, atleast the top of my list of color that I like but there are certain colors that I love as a polish against my skin tone.

KBShimmer | Pigment of My Imagination

Happy Presidents Day! I hope you had a great extended weekend! With snow and the holiday here in Maryland/DC some people had a five day weekend. I only worked a half a day Wednesday , was off Thursday and worked Friday and Saturday . But the day off on Thursday was much needed.

Color club | Leopard and Stripes

I'm a huge animal print lover! I'm not big on the clothes(for myself), but I like all animal print. From snake skin, leopard and zebra print. I love the shoes, hand bags, wallets etc.

Camouflage Valentines Day Mani

 

It's Monday manicure time! Today I decided I wanted to use a polish that I hauled yesterday from the nail supply.

KB Shimmer | THE DANCING GREEN

The other day I was on Amazon and ran across KB Shimmer nail polish. Since I began nail blogging and really just getting into the nail community, I've seen these polishes and other Indie makers. I was so unaware of all the Indie polish makers. After almost two weeks of looking at nail polish, nail blogs and IG nail accounts after a while some polish start to look the same.

My first attempt at Ikat nails

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog.  This is so overdo!  I've been wanting to blog about polish for so long now and finally decided to dive right  in! 

So I've been addicted to polish for a while now and have been following nail enthusiast like myself.  Here lately I've found so many new nail bloggers and polish lovers on Instagram.  I really had no clue as to how many people really loved nail polish like myself.  So needless to say I've come across some  great nail art and polish swatches to say the least.  But one design I've seen for some time and actually it took some time to grow on me is the Ikat nail art.  When I first saw the design I thought its was just ok.  I guess repetition will have you consider some things huh?  I decided to give it a try yesterday for my weekly manicure. 

I posted it on my Instagram and people seemed to like it but I did put out there that it was my first attempt at the design.  The more I looked at my nails the design grew on me.  I was more impressed with my clean up job to be hsedonest. Haha!  I will definitely give it another try.

I used  beauty supply store brand polish called Nicka K as a base.  The polish didn't have a name but its a very pretty tiffany blue polish.  For the design of the Ikat I used other opaque polishes in my stash and for a few of them some black and white acrylic paint just to see which would work best. 

Thanks so much for reading and allowing me to share what I love.  I'm still a work in progress but as one of my friends said.."Practice makes Perfect".
