If you follow Georgeois at all, you may notice she has a knack of winning nail art challenges. Not only is she an amazing nail artist, but she is so creative! She seems to put a spin on things that'll leave you thinking "man, why didn't I come up with that?!" These little chompers crack me up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was so much talent and competition, it was difficult choosing a first place winner. Another contender really stood out to me and it was a near draw. So, on a whim, I'm naming a runner up, and they will receive a bottle of polish! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Runner up is Missy of <a href="http://gnarlygnails.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Gnarly Gnails</a>!</div>

The reason I'm posting the results today instead yesterday, as promised, is because I wanted to reveal the prizes to everyone, as well as the winners. Sadly, I haven't finished collecting all of the prizes yet, I'm just missing one more thing. But I promise to photograph it all for you guys before I send them out. </div>

So, I'm not sure if you know this about me, but I'm a bit nerdy. I think most of it just radiates from my boyfriend, and because I am in such close proximity all the time, I have happened to catch it. One of our shared loves is Marvel (and Batman, but that's it for DC) so opening night of Avengers was a pretty big deal to us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He and I drove two hours to attend an Ultimate Marvel Marathon, where AMC played all five Avengers related movies before premiering the movie at midnight. The event started at 11:00am and ended around 2:30am when the midnight showing got out. It was probably five o'clock when we got home and got to bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm tired today, but it sure was worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To compliment this amazing movie marathon, I, of course, had to paint my nails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose Cap and his shield as my inspiration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used China Glaze Frostbite and Ruby Pumps with an Art Deco striper for the white. Shown with and without flash, respectively. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, what about you? Any Marvel fans out there see the midnight premiere? Any non-US fans see it last week? What did you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometime this weekend, I'll be posting the results of my nail art contest, so keep an eye out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I think every lacquerista can attest - glitter is the easiest and quickest form of nail art. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're in a bind for time and your nails are looking blah, glitter it up! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last night, I was feeling pretty tired, but I didn't want to go to bed with naked nails, so I threw this look together. I had been dying to try some of my new polishes anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTEBdSiW_brx_PT9RhO_XLnx9bd9a8RRcEwCoWUfAP2ty-R6tcbCQrXi5mc4mBv_fUPNU8yFvxuTAq2rysPedk8f56CGWOJyanXRwmgekvT8IF9PCBYGnA033cE0S0TbdphV22g50yXdgM/s1600/sinful-colors-savage-china-glaze-fairy-dust-glitter-gradient.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTEBdSiW_brx_PT9RhO_XLnx9bd9a8RRcEwCoWUfAP2ty-R6tcbCQrXi5mc4mBv_fUPNU8yFvxuTAq2rysPedk8f56CGWOJyanXRwmgekvT8IF9PCBYGnA033cE0S0TbdphV22g50yXdgM/s320/sinful-colors-savage-china-glaze-fairy-dust-glitter-gradient.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Click the pictures to enlarge them and see all that shiny goodness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The teal is Sinful Colors Savage - one of my 99 cent Walgreens purchases - and the glitter is China Glaze Fairy Dust. Not only is the pairing beautiful, but it was also fast, cheap, and easy - just how I like my women. Wait, what?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I certainly wouldn't call Savage a neon, but it must have some neon pigment in there somewhere, because it dried matte. I love little surprises like that. The formula was great - not streaky or overly thick - and it dried really quickly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a mandatory out-of-focus holo shot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhro5TJJ3liBZkyOtgGZaI6FLe0yCaCGLQmsFLukufH68MZG3HJIVFX9pUYObJ70weOt9iHing0n35QBB4B27AWH8fDSF5BOLGVJ2_sJWOqXQkq_BdkIn_yv77qewXMouBQRsSaEvK8nBe4/s1600/sinful-colors-savage-glitter-gradient-china-glaze-fairy-dust.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhro5TJJ3liBZkyOtgGZaI6FLe0yCaCGLQmsFLukufH68MZG3HJIVFX9pUYObJ70weOt9iHing0n35QBB4B27AWH8fDSF5BOLGVJ2_sJWOqXQkq_BdkIn_yv77qewXMouBQRsSaEvK8nBe4/s320/sinful-colors-savage-glitter-gradient-china-glaze-fairy-dust.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then, to bring Savage back to its original state, I added Hard Candy Matte-ly in love. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was a little bummed that it turned Fairy Dust into ordinary silver glitter, but I can't say I didn't expect it. I do really think this goes to show just how nice Savage is, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey, guys! Just a quick reminder, there are only nine hours left to enter your accent nail art submissions! The contest ends tonight at midnight (US Central)!</div>

Over the course of the contest, 28 people have entered and I have made it up to 64 followers. As I type this, I am just 18 views shy of 7000! I can't get over it! I'm so excited, and thankful, and humbled by my fellow bloggers. </div>

Wow, it sure does feel nice having two consecutive posts again. I'm getting all giddy. c:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Silly me, though. I went and took my hardest polish to photograph and slathered it all over my nails. </div>

I think these pictures are about as close to color accurate as I can get. Imagine the color just a smidge more purple tone. <a href="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101010121654/thebluescluesencyclopedia/images/c/cd/Periwinkle.jpg" target="_blank">Periwinkle the cat</a> is a great color representation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le, China Glaze Frost Bite, and my gray franken, which I've decided to name Eternal Sunshine. You may be able to see a pink shimmer to it, if you enlarge the pictures. I'm still working on it.</div>

I've been messing around with different art recently, trying to find what looks best on short nails vs. long. As it turns out, a nice fishtail braid works well in any shape, length, or color. And it's so easy to do. You can find a tutorial under my tutorials tab, if you'd like to give it a try! You can always use the design for an accent nail, as I did, and then enter it in my <a href="http://rejoicenailart.blogspot.com/2012/03/rejoice-its-nail-art-contest.html" target="_blank">nail art contest</a>, but hurry!

Every time I think I've got the hang of balancing work and blogging, I vanish for five more days. I'm still reading your posts, commenting, and reading my own comments. I keep up with the blog world every day, I just haven't been posting. I'm so sorry, everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I've been up to recently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, I broke three of my nails at work in the past two days - the most tragic being my left hand ring nail. My accent nail! I considered, for a day or two, looking into wraps or full out acyrlics, but in the end, I filed down all of my nails. My hands look so foreign to me now.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm wearing L'Oreal Because You're Worth It on my nubbins. I'm pretty proud of the paint job, considering I did them in a moving vehicle yesterday, hah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems that in lieu of posting, I've been buying a lot of polishes to make up for it. My thought is "I don't have nail art to share, but I will have hauls!" Here is everything I've picked up this past week.</div>

I picked up these E.L.F polishes last week at Target. They came in a four pack for five dollars. From left to right is Coral Dream, Flirty Fuchsia, Smokin Hot, and Party Peach.</div>

As I'm sure all of you know, Sally's Beauty Supply is currently having a buy two, get one free sale. I couldn't pass it up. Left to right is White On White, Fairy Dust, Dress Me Up (from the Capitol Colors collection), Secret Peri-wink-le (which wouldn't photograph at all - it's really a dusty blurple), and Frost Bite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with having every polish buy two, get one free, Sally's also had a sale on SV. It was 5.99, instead of the usual 8.99. ...so I bought four. I will keep two of them and then the other two will be included in my nail art contest prize packages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And speaking of my <a href="http://rejoicenailart.blogspot.com/2012/03/rejoice-its-nail-art-contest.html" target="_blank">nail art contest</a>, there are only four more days left!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over this past month, there have been 25 entries, and I have reached 61 followers! It just blows my mind. Thank you guys so, so much! I seriously love every single one of you.</div>

Today, I'm going to cut the lead-in and go straight for the picture.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2cXdotlhoFLCnngMrnuQUKU_H3v58r8bQlPek3Uz76LJshAkbOb6V-oy8RMHHh9tHgNLvAz8I_YHKW__de01EgNbPPbUjdjD4C491YnYKEWxeS4XSsrBro0YAa18pt6ZczUlDXWzCp4A/s1600/stiper-brush-roses-gray-white-nail-art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2cXdotlhoFLCnngMrnuQUKU_H3v58r8bQlPek3Uz76LJshAkbOb6V-oy8RMHHh9tHgNLvAz8I_YHKW__de01EgNbPPbUjdjD4C491YnYKEWxeS4XSsrBro0YAa18pt6ZczUlDXWzCp4A/s320/stiper-brush-roses-gray-white-nail-art.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not too sure what to call today's manicure. The pattern isn't quite basket weave and it's not herringbone. Aztec, maybe? I'll stick with geometric. </div><div style="text-align: center;">What I can call this manicure, today, is beautiful. I love the look of hard lines with soft roses. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Revlon Vixen and Revlon Spanish Moss were used to create the roses. The white is my newest Art Deco stripers, and the gray base is my newest franken. I'm really excited to show you guys, but I still need to mess with it a little bit. I tried to make a gray shimmer, but this batch is a little too subtle for my tastes. MOAR SHINYS!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also have swatches of four new Elf polishes, coming up. I've never had an Elf polish before, so I am quite excited!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you enjoyed this look and I hope you enjoy my <a href="http://rejoicenailart.blogspot.com/2012/03/rejoice-its-nail-art-contest.html" target="_blank">nail art contest</a>!</div>REJOICE!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01059596126856478327noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088199077800328369.post-30112756570904778302012-04-15T19:45:00.001-05:002012-04-15T19:46:37.900-05:00Glitter and Graphite<div style="text-align: center;">Hello, friends and followers!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you ever get into this trend, where you find yourself picking up the same colors for weeks at a time?</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm stuck in one right now, and this time, I keep gravitating to these pewter, gunmetal, graphite grays. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The last two polishes I bought are essentially the exact same color. See what I mean?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtvLnIzCkSfJ2JGX-PqSFVyleZB-pG-C_0mLy9xAYfQ4nXiyIgm0I2Zugax0_9K3JkxN2i3Mw19Mg_naGcNLCTff-suEJQj1FdC0AErBHzmIN2VU6xhczTYM_4X1aGCsh57gktI4eXNO7/s1600/zoya-loredana-swatch-framed-nail-art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUtvLnIzCkSfJ2JGX-PqSFVyleZB-pG-C_0mLy9xAYfQ4nXiyIgm0I2Zugax0_9K3JkxN2i3Mw19Mg_naGcNLCTff-suEJQj1FdC0AErBHzmIN2VU6xhczTYM_4X1aGCsh57gktI4eXNO7/s320/zoya-loredana-swatch-framed-nail-art.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is Zoya Loredana, my Share The Love pick, top coated, and the accent nail is Sally Hansen Gem Crush Glitz Gal. It looks like I added holographic glitter to Loredana, but Glitz Gal is a beautiful pewter glitter all its own. I also picked up a black Art Deco striper recently, and decided to give the framed look a try.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am<i> in love</i> with every single aspect of today's manicure. I need to run out and buy all of the striping polishing, now, and I cannot get enough of Loredana. I think it's the perfect amount of grunge and glitz.</div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm just now starting to see those things in the mail. Yesterday, the most wonderful thing came for me. I am so excited to share it with you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdkxhtSwYSOEqRxIZaJMs62Df3HulpvPt-nlVoexUtDxN9rj6yUzkuPpUcCzwI0qgC7Gqk1NaNP5BQ9aOaTiqTKWcmUJgkOhT_PWFuu9iwZTAEgvCX4lYo8ReCL2CODhLK7vVOL-HEBS-w/s1600/swatchstick1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdkxhtSwYSOEqRxIZaJMs62Df3HulpvPt-nlVoexUtDxN9rj6yUzkuPpUcCzwI0qgC7Gqk1NaNP5BQ9aOaTiqTKWcmUJgkOhT_PWFuu9iwZTAEgvCX4lYo8ReCL2CODhLK7vVOL-HEBS-w/s320/swatchstick1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">SWATCH STICKS!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I spent my day off yesterday, swatching and labeling my collection. I'm so happy with the outcome. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixMRxKeZ6GgDg0pQ2UuMEkjcz-_KBiTv2gZW7Lbaep9Llj9kzwPIrgqAXr26JUbxldszQWPu3hW8yF4zuGGRhqUW9Cw6BuDYg67XUqKBEfrjfrrWhXUUeZR_HKDdOKvNiJgPYMoUNg2_Yc/s1600/swatchstick12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixMRxKeZ6GgDg0pQ2UuMEkjcz-_KBiTv2gZW7Lbaep9Llj9kzwPIrgqAXr26JUbxldszQWPu3hW8yF4zuGGRhqUW9Cw6BuDYg67XUqKBEfrjfrrWhXUUeZR_HKDdOKvNiJgPYMoUNg2_Yc/s320/swatchstick12.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They're all placed on a long bolt, held together with a simple nut, making organization easy. You simply pull the sticks off the bolt to polish them, and you can mess with the order at any time. Finding colors that work well together is so easy now. It'll also make things a lot easier when friends come over, wanting their nails painted. Instead of pulling out every single bottle, I just show them my swatch sticks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7HIvgJna9KFHP32qsu0hIKkaq64R6XdA2wutG4w8svBmPCs9sTt_jTEDkyb0nsktMlKmNWDbiscsW8jcwtBEDSCJrAh8F2GF-DMeGPuBVQWzVwb9lKM3dlueUoTZAiB7-TR24gq1XNrAb/s1600/swatchstick2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7HIvgJna9KFHP32qsu0hIKkaq64R6XdA2wutG4w8svBmPCs9sTt_jTEDkyb0nsktMlKmNWDbiscsW8jcwtBEDSCJrAh8F2GF-DMeGPuBVQWzVwb9lKM3dlueUoTZAiB7-TR24gq1XNrAb/s320/swatchstick2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I went out and bought a cheap label maker, and it seemed to really speed up the process. I included brand and name for each label. I thought about adding the coat number, but I tried to keep it all at an even two coats. The label maker also has the capability to do a lot of cute little symbols, so when I run out of a certain polish, I plan to put a little skull and crossbones on the stick. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found these sticks for about five dollars through a quick eBay search. It came in a pack of 50 sticks, with the bolt and nut included. They did come from Korea, so it took about a month to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I will undoubtedly be ordering more soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Swatching yesterday did make me realize what a small collection I have, though. What you see here is everything, except frankens and polishes used for frankening. It comes to 38 polishes total, excluding franken supplies. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Another thing that came in the mail yesterday was Zoya Loredana, so you can expect to see that tomorrow!</div>REJOICE!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01059596126856478327noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088199077800328369.post-35444065138846725012012-04-12T15:44:00.001-05:002012-04-12T17:39:47.482-05:00Jelly Moons<div style="text-align: center;">The mani I have for you today has been first on my to-do list for a long time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">First and second, actually.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsE4HgUHCLsE-98f9esfRfnF53V-Yh4bxKohS2NgW8EdeqOQLL37MmxIZsgi0eWOdlJrdphfGneCCGTsONATBlFSaba_xjff2TZkzTEssAf1HIPjaIPHK-apDndoCGANkvajjtB6fgT85/s1600/jelly-sandwhich-half-moon-glitter-nail-art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpsE4HgUHCLsE-98f9esfRfnF53V-Yh4bxKohS2NgW8EdeqOQLL37MmxIZsgi0eWOdlJrdphfGneCCGTsONATBlFSaba_xjff2TZkzTEssAf1HIPjaIPHK-apDndoCGANkvajjtB6fgT85/s320/jelly-sandwhich-half-moon-glitter-nail-art.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think the next time I try a jelly sandwich, I need to mess around with opacity.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I layered NOPI Rainbow In The S-Kylie between the orange juice neon and the coral shimmer from <a href="http://rejoicenailart.blogspot.com/2012/04/playing-catch-up.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. Afterwards, I laid my reinforcement stickers and painted a coat of L.A. Colors black. I did have shrinking issues with a full L.A. Colors mani, but you typically get what you pay for with cheap polishes.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it's neat, because from far away it looks just straight up black and neon pink. I love subtle BAM!s like that. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I hope you're having a wonderful Easter! Or a splendid Sunday, whichever you prefer.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have some simple art for you today, just a glitter gradient over a nice shimmer polish. I was going for Easter and spring with pastels, but I think it reads "Ice Queen." It may have missed the mark, but I think it is gorgeous, either way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used Revlon <i>Stunning</i>, a holo hex glitter with silver and blue micro glitter over three coats of Sinful Colors <i>Cinderella. </i>I topped it all off with Hard Candy <i>Mattely in Love</i>, though you wouldn't be able to tell from the pictures. This is what two days of vigorous hand washing does to a matte top coat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In an unrelated note, if you guys are <b>Zoya</b> newbies, like myself, you might not know about their <i>Share The Love</i> promotion, going on right now.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I go gaga for hand placed glitter. LOVE IT.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I went with a pastel minty green, since Easter is coming up, and I think the nude and gold compliment it really well. </div><div style="text-align: center;">This was created using Revlon Minted, Revlon Endless Possibilities (which is a lot like Nude Now, but is opaque in two coats instead of four!) and Milani Jewel FX Gold.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I do hope you'll forgive me for my sporadic posting.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm trying to get back to my regular post-a-day, but it's taking some balancing I'm not used to yet. Rest assured, we are on our way back to the regular schedule. I hope you'll bear with me and that I won't lose any readers who have come to expect something new daily.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is the rare right-handed picture, so it's more damaged than the left one was, but there you have it. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I also wanted to assure you that I do absolutely everything necessary to make sure my nail (polish) doesn't chip into the food. Even the thought is disgusting, but I wanted to put that out there. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Luckily, I've had today and yesterday off, so I did my full nail care routine and everything is back up to my standards. It also gave me time to quickly swatch out a polish pack I got on sale Monday night.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I figured if they weren't a very good quality, they could at least be used for jelly sandwiches or frankening. I did messy swatches that I didn't bother to clean up, because I took it off right after. Pictured below is two coats of each color.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was quite surprised by these. They were quite opaque, as far as neons go. I really like the blue and the coral shimmer. I'm undecided on the green and I think the rest will go to frankening. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm sorry I vanished for a while.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The truth is, work has done a number on my nails, and until last night, I haven't had the time or the energy to bring them up to picture quality. I apologize if my cuticles are still a little raggedy. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The good news is, being gone for a little while drew out the end of the girly girl challenge. I'm sad to see it go.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Th final day of the challenge calls for a fun-loving mani. When I think fun, I think bright colors and bold patterns. Keeping bold patterns in mind, I headed over to the Urban Outfitters online store. They have some awesome patterns. I saw this bathing suit and knew right away what I wanted to do.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's my inspiration.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I feel like the month's gone by so fast!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The challenge today calls for sweet and spicy nails. I was super excited to do this challenge, because yesterday, I picked up the best "sugar" color ever! It's a sweet color with quite the reputation - you may know her as Sinful Colors Cinderella. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I walked over to Walgreens after work yesterday, and it was the last one on display. That always makes nabbing a color that much better. Here's what I have for today.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm sorry to say I don't have a lot to show you today. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I've decided to do a wearability test. I've never tried to keep any sort of polish on my nails, so I'd like to see how well it goes. Instead of spamming you with the same polish every day for a week, I'll take pictures each day and save it for one post at the end.

I have something a little different to show you guys today.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I changed my nail shape!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I got the job at McDonald's (I start on Tuesday), and I figured they'd need me to lose a little length. Perfect time to try something new, I thought. I decided to go with rounded because I think they're more practical - no weak corners. I don't know how I feel about it yet. I'm quite a fan of sqoval, but it is nice to have all my nails the same length. Tell me what you think?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've wanted to try the framed look for a long time, but I didn't think it'd look good with square nails. I've also been really inspired by <a href="http://www.polishallthenails.com/" target="_blank">Polish All The Nails!</a> and her amazing hand placed glitter looks recently, so after I filed down my nails, I knew exactly what I was going to do. Not bad for my first time, I think.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I apologize for the blurry pictures. I tried using flash, but it wouldn't pick up on the glitter.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used Sally Hansen Nude Now, Revlon Vixen, and Milani Gold Jewel FX.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you guys aren't tired of the nude bender I appear to be on. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's a Nail Art Contest!<div style="text-align: center;">Hello, everyone! Welcome to my first nail art contest! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been excited to announce a giveaway for a while now, and by this morning, I couldn't hold it in anymore.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's get it started, shall we? The theme is..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">ACCENT NAILS!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Create a cohesive manicure, with one or two accent nails! That's it! The possibilities are endless, and people of all skill-levels can participate. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The challenge starts today, as you're reading this, and will end April 30th. You can submit your links any time between now and then, and if you decide you would like to try something else, you can just delete your current submission and add a new link! Luckily, inlinkz is crazy easy to use. The winners will be posted on my blog during the first week of May.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The Rules</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">- One submission per person.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- You may <i>not</i> use acrylic paint. Anything else goes.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Your design must include one or two accent nails.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- You do not have to be a follower, but it is recommended, as winners will be posted on my blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- It can be an old or new design, but it must be your art on your nails. </div><div style="text-align: center;">- The contest <i>is</i> open internationally.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The Prize</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">There will be two winners! One will be judged by a panel of my close nail-art-loving-friends, and the other will be chosen at random. Both will receive a surprise nail package, including polish and art tools, handpicked by me!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have any questions, leave a comment, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Have fun!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm going to be honest, I don't like this. I didn't have enough time to really give it the effort it deserved, and now, it just looks sloppy. I also don't think this purple is my color. It certainly doesn't do my mom justice. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I used Revlon Impulsive, China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, and Sally Hansen Nude Now.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Make sure you find out who inspires the other girly-girls. </div><div style="text-align: center;">You can find the link list in yesterday's post.</div>REJOICE!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01059596126856478327noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088199077800328369.post-37965989404641842382012-03-21T16:34:00.000-05:002012-03-21T16:34:17.234-05:00Girly-Girl Challenge Day Five: Gotta Love Chick Flicks!<div style="text-align: center;">Today's challenge was simple - pick your favorite chick flick and let it inspire your nail art.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fairly simple, right? Wrong. It's hard coming up with a good chick flick that everyone's seen. In the end, I sort of skipped out on the "everyone's seen" bit and went with a slightly more obscure rom-com.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today's manicure is inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagine_Me_%26_You" target="_blank">Imagine Me And You</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3RUnndZn2gxR2ExqrbF11_wpGrrCpnW5ryCBCobr-ro32kkPb4Ld4LygcHgm3BMOTllhace9q73wtJHlmgs4CCguX-xjrmYmsK9YNsCroIujBaWx6E5kX3OyRyc0Yf4d4AsV3-ou9nbc/s1600/manglaze-lesbihonest-swatch-flower-nail-art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3RUnndZn2gxR2ExqrbF11_wpGrrCpnW5ryCBCobr-ro32kkPb4Ld4LygcHgm3BMOTllhace9q73wtJHlmgs4CCguX-xjrmYmsK9YNsCroIujBaWx6E5kX3OyRyc0Yf4d4AsV3-ou9nbc/s320/manglaze-lesbihonest-swatch-flower-nail-art.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Imagine Me and You is a story of love at first site, between a florist and a client... on her wedding day. Luce and Rachel lock eyes across a room (as Rachel is walking down the isle) and from that instant, it's love.<br />
The accent nail is a lily petal. Rachel makes mention of lilies being her favorite flower several times throughout the movie. I used Essie Blanc, Essie Watermelon, Sally Hansen Lightening, OPI Did It On 'Em, and ManGlaze Lesbihonest for this look.<br />
I chose to do Lesbihonest on the other nails for a few reasons. One, I just got it and it's the most beautiful thing ever. Two, it matches the lilies quite well. And three, the movie is about two women in love. It's a fairly perfect fit.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to check out the other chick-flick nails!<br />
Maybe it'll inspire you to watch your own favorite rom-com while you paint your nails.<br />

LESBIHONEST CAME IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was honestly expecting it to come, like, a week from today. I get excited just looking at it. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It also came with three business cards, a post-it note type thing, and a coolio sticker. I'm not sure what I'm going to stick the sticker to just yet, but rest assured, I'll display it proudly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">With all this talk of Lesbihonest, I'm sure you're thinking that that's what I have for you today.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, I don't. I so very much wish I could say that I swatched it already, but I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW TODAY!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, goodness, this is just the post of the caps lock. I'm just super excited. And by excited, I mean pukey nervous. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are my interview nails!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxbQbCCOnknISeYh_8pq_L5gltoA-53T5b2feFwzOsxkOryd0GJdRRngVAkWFQyys5vZQa1mA63nHh7b-uAm4NAuuQXibE-64iEImrbxX34oS5t1RCCHEDFHFoZuD6qJRJ1asnc_e9DG2c/s1600/blue-nude-half-moons-nail-art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxbQbCCOnknISeYh_8pq_L5gltoA-53T5b2feFwzOsxkOryd0GJdRRngVAkWFQyys5vZQa1mA63nHh7b-uAm4NAuuQXibE-64iEImrbxX34oS5t1RCCHEDFHFoZuD6qJRJ1asnc_e9DG2c/s320/blue-nude-half-moons-nail-art.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I just wanted something crisp and clean, so half moons it is! They really seem to elongate my fingers.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe the interviewer at McDonalds will hire me just because I have long fingers? Wouldn't that be nice?</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used Sally Hansen Nude Now because it gives my nails a healthy shimmer and topped it off with Revlon Blue Slate. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The overall look was inspired by the side shoulder closure of his lab coat. I used Essie Blanc, Sephora for OPI Frankly, I Don't Give A-Damn, and L.A. Colors Black.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The accent nail was inspired by his goggles. I used the colors already listed, and the base is Sally Hansen Nude Now. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I made sure they were good and dry, then my boyfriend and I went to Walmart. We walked around, bought a bunch of food we didn't need, yada yada yada, then, while I was getting in the car to come home, the seat belt took a bite out of my nail polish. I nearly cried. My boyfriend thought it was hilarious.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdI5-BYtMyINNU0NtgPqyC1rlS50DajfjsmQ66eTFEaX5jtlazJBBzeZFEPud138f58OxUZnKsqjDdnoowPRFkCPr6N-9f6Oopy9i1mzk6AuRxErVvraU5KCXGvAX9rvAVvPTo_0s1eBnj/s1600/rip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdI5-BYtMyINNU0NtgPqyC1rlS50DajfjsmQ66eTFEaX5jtlazJBBzeZFEPud138f58OxUZnKsqjDdnoowPRFkCPr6N-9f6Oopy9i1mzk6AuRxErVvraU5KCXGvAX9rvAVvPTo_0s1eBnj/s320/rip.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's almost a blessing in disguise, because the polish doesn't seem to want to photograph.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of painting my nails twice today (once for today and once for tomorrow), I thought I'd take this free time to discuss a giveaway with you guys. I wanted to do some sort of giveaway or contest when I hit 5000 views, which I think will happen within the next month. I've been trying to get everything together before hand, so I can announce the event as soon as 5000 hits. But I want to do right by you guys, so if you could take a second to answer these quick questions, I can provide a truly awesome celebration for all. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">1. <i>Would you rather participate in a giveaway or a nail art contest?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. <i>Any suggestions for a contest theme? I'm thinking "accent nails" but I'd love to hear from you.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. <i>What would your dream prize be? A few random polishes I choose? A giftcard to llarowe or ninja polish? A julep maven box? A few polishes from a newer collection? Frankens?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd really appreciate your feedback!</div>REJOICE!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01059596126856478327noreply@blogger.com3
