Going Back 2 Square 1

Hello Readers, Well, after trying my new oval shape I really do love it my only thing is they have to be longgg (especially long on my shallow nail beds) and if anything chips even just a little bit it's a real pain to re-file. So, I've decided to go back to square and keep them at a manageable length. I really can't stand seeing nails that aren't all the same length, so if I break one they all have to be filed! I'll post a mani later ;o) Just want to keep this thing going!  ♥ Cheers, Bridget...

Coral and Gold Summer Sponge Mani

Hello Readers, I told you guys I'd be better about posting from now on! ^_^ I'm happy that I'm on the ball again! Ok, today I have a simple sponging mani with butter London 'Trout Pout' as the base and 'The Full Monty' as the color that's sponged over the base. Trout Pout is a bright coral that can appear soft and more pink or bright and more orange depending on the light. I have to say I really hated the formula, it was very watery and streaky. I'm not picky at all but I really didn't like this one although I do LOVE the color! The Full Monty...

An 80's Moment...

Hello Readers, Today, I have kind of a crazy fun mani, to be honest I had an 80's moment. Right after I did this it made me think of 'Saved by the Bell' and 'The Max'! I used a few different colors and topcoats to make this look. I used a brand I got at Target called 'Pixi Glow' called 'Pirouette Pink' that's a chalky neon pink with a slight shimmer, butter London 'Slapper' which is a bright teal-turquoise, Nicole by OPI 'Nothing Kim-Pares to Blue' which is a periwinkle shimmer, Dandy Nails 'Funhouse' which has a clear base with bright fuchsia,...

Also, I used 2 coats of Scandalous, 1 coat of Pirouette My Whistle and another coat of...

And for the photos... Excuse my greasy cuticles, they're going...

11 Things About Me

Hello Readers, Ohhh Sabine! Alright, well I was tagged to tell 11 things about myself by Sabine at My Polish Stash. I'm also suppose to link this post back to Sabine's so, here's the page where she tagged me. Ok, here are 11 things about myself: I love scary/gory/sci-fi movies such as the Hellraiser series, The Descent, the Alien's series, etc.   I've been wearing nail polish for quite a while (since I was a teenager) and started collecting more seriously about a year ago. Now, I'm just full on psycho about it! Ha As far as music I have an eclectic taste that includes everything from...
