Hey everyone!
Today I have a short post for you but it packs a lot of punch! A while back I did a dotticue (mani with dots) and it got so many compliments!
I re-did it again this past week but without the colors on the accent nail, and the accent nail was the only one with tons of dots. All the other nails simply had 3 dots going up one side. :) Very classic.
This mani was so much fun, if a little distracting! I am not used to so much going on on my finger tips!
The black was mostly Sinful Color polish. Mainly old standbys Black on Black, Snow Me White. The colors were really just what I had lying about at the time. I will update with the names (Too lazy to climb all the stairs to my polish area lol).
What do you think? It is super easy and fun to do. Maybe I can get my butt into making some tutorials, though everything I do on here is pretty much seen everywhere lol. I have a hard time beating the bandwagon.
See you soon!

Life Update
Hey all!
Sorry for not posting, but we have had a tiny new addition to the family. I have adopted a second hedgehog from a lady who was using him as a classroom pet. -_-;
His new name is Navi and is settling in well. I have a quick mani that I did yesterday but no pics yet because it hasn't stopped raining. It is kind of fitting for the weather- China Glaze Hook and Line from the Hunger Games collection and I topped it with China Glaze White Capped.
Photobucket is being weird again, but it may be because of the weather or something. I will try to post some new pics later today/tonight. :)
See you soon!

Sinful Colors Savage and Puppy Nail Art
So did I say tomorrow? I ment in a few days. lol
The blue is actually a very pretty teal. I could not get it to photograph the true color. It is Sinful Colors Savage. The white for the dog is Sinful Color Snow Me White and the beige on the face is NYC Mulberry Street. The black for the dots is just a random striping polish I had on hand.
I loved this mani and got so many compliments on it. I found it on youtube, there is a link to it HERE.
Let me know what you think! Do you have any other animal nail art that you love?
See you soon!

Crackle Fall Mani with China Glaze and Sinful Colors
Hello all!
Sorry, sorry, sorry! I haven't forgotten about you and we are FINALLY finished moving. Now the unpacking begins. lol. But I had a few minutes to myself today for the first time in a week and decided to play with some of my fall themed untrieds.
OK. So photobucket.com hates me today so I am sorry about some of the images. Maybe eventually I will figure this thing out! lol. So on my ring and middle finger I have Sinful Colors Country Orange. It is one of my favorite pumpkin oranges, with a gold shimmer. The green on my index, pinky and thumb is China Glaze Agro from the Hunger Games Collection. It is an amazing olive-y green with lots of gold shimmer.
The crackle was a gift from a friend at work. I have not been a fan of crackle in the past but this China Glaze Cracked Medalion has made a believer out of me.
This mani has gotten me in the mood for fall, it is just too bad I did them outside on my new balcony in the 80 degree F heat. -_-; I think I got a tan too. >sigh<
Tomorrow, a puppy mani that I found on youtube and got tons of compliments on last week!
See you soon!

Revlon Black Lingerie and Glitter Gradient
Hello all!
After having naked nails for almost a week now >gasp< I couldn't take it anymore and decided to sit down and paint! Because me nails are super stubby after multiple bad breaks last Sunday, I decided to go with a new black I picked up. Revlon Black Lingerie was in a two pack with Revlon Blue Lagoon and I got them both from Big Lots last week for $2!
Black Lingerie was interesting for a black polish. It obviously has a blue tint to the base and the first coat was super thin and streaky, but I evened it out with a second. Now, short black nails are all well and good-- for other people. Lol. On me, with my super light skin I tend to look a little gothic. So an obvious cure? GLITTER.
I have no idea why my pics won't resize today. -_-; Sorry for the crappy HUGE quality...
Anywho the first glitter in the gradient is Pure Ice Cheatin. I picked it up at Walmart on one of my infrequent trips there. The micro blue and purple glitter was so pretty, it couldn't be passed up.
Holy hell, another GIANT image. >sigh< Anyway, that's Cheatin with no underwear, one coat. I need a better camera!
Well I topped the whole thing with Orly Can't be Tamed. It is a small silver glitter with larger hexagon purple glitter. It helped to blend the Iced layers.
For my first glitter gradient, I think it went rather well. Next time though, I may pair these with a purple undercoat as with the lighting in my house right now, the glitter is lost. :(
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Does anyone have a fun mani planned for Labor Day?
See you soon!
