My Catherine Arley's Are Here! (Pic Heavy)

After a 2 month delay, my polishes have finally arrived! I ordered 10 Catherine Arley's after seeing Emerald Sparkled's detailed post about them. They are all really beautiful but my surprise favorite is 803, the army green holo. This color is definitely not for everyone. I like to call it a pretty-ugly color. Pretty to some and ugly to most =)

All of the polishes I ordered are holos. Some of them are not as strong as I had hoped but overall they are still beautiful and definitely worth $3.50 a bottle. I'm not sure why the package was delayed. For whatever reason, the Bulgarian post office held the package for 30 days before shipping.

Here's a quick look at 803.

I stamped over it using Bundle Monster plate 21. The effect reminds me of Grandma's curtains :)

Just to let you know, over the next few days I'll be updating my blog. If you see any "test posts", please ignore them. Thanks for stopping by!

Pink is Music to My Ears

Hi ladies. I hope you're having a great Wednesday! I have another pink mani to share that was inspired by a pair of press on nails I saw while shopping for Halloween stickers. I can't remember if they were pink, but I decided to go with it because its my favorite color and perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I prefer to use inexpensive polishes for nail art, especially if I'm not sure I'll like the result. So for today I used WnW Flirty Rose Creme. It looks much better outside of the bottle and is the perfect bubble gum pink! I layered it over white to show its true color. Hope you like it!

Products used:
Wet N Wild - Flirty Rose Creme
Wet N Wild - French White (base)
Konad - Plate M73
Bundle Monster - Plate BM 21
Kiss - Silver Glitter Nail Art Paint
Essence - Nail Art Stickers

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday

Hello everyone. I hope you all are doing well today. I had a great day at home with the kiddo's and we made door knob hangers. I promised my daughter a do-it-yourself jewelry craft set and I forgot to pick it up. So I made a quick stop at the Dollar Store and grabbed a hanger kit.

It's not bad for a buck. We worked on it together and it kept her quite for all of 30 minutes (ha ha). Aren't they cute.


I also had a chance to play with my polishes. I wanted to swatch LA Colors LIVE but I couldn't get a good pic due to the weather. It's a really cute polish that I use a lot for konading. It's only $1 at the Dollar Store and about $2 online. Here's a photo without a topcoat.


Then I tried to konad it but that was a complete disaster, lol. I made it worse by adding rhinestones and stripes. Here I used BM 21 and Konad white. I took it off immediately and slapped on Refresh-mint.

Excuse the crappy pic. The weather was just awful today with no sun whatsoever. I'm changing my mani in the morning and I'll post new pics tomorrow. Hope you ladies have a wonderful night.

Whoops. I almost forgot. For the green mani I used CG Refresh-mint and stamped in CG 2030. The images plates are konad M60 and M76.
