Sorry for my absence!

Sorry for having been gone so long! June and July have been some really hard times for me (and family). In late June a friend passed away in a horrible car accident caused by a drunk driver that was driving on the wrong side of the highway. The drunk driver killed 2 of the 3 passengers in the car, including our friend Nikki. Learning about the accident and attending the funeral got me a bit out of polish because it was just so much to process; I had never been through something like that. However, I have finally managed to pull myself out of it and decided I need to keep my head up and keep going.

Today...I have something from the "vault" for you guys because...I got a new dog today and my hands have quite literally been full! Haven't had a chance to do a new mani. I'll have to take some pictures of him later! I am only fostering him at the moment but will most likely be adopting him because he is so adorable and well behaved. :)

 Discúlpenme por no haber actualizado durante estos días. Junio y Julio an sido dos meses bien difíciles para mi porque una amiga falleció a finales de Junio en un accidente automovilístico. Después de oír las noticias sobre el accidente y atender el funeral se me hizo difícil encontrar alegría en pintarme las uñas. Pero todo esto sucedió hace un mes y ya mas o menos e logrado salirme de la depresión que me había entrado. Se que tengo que salir adelante y también aprender a valorar la vida y mis seres queridos mas que nunca.

Y para dejarlos con mejores noticias...hoy adopte a un perrito! Esta bien lindo! Tendré que poner fotos pronto pero para mientras los dejo con un mani de hace unos días atrás.

Past NOTD's...

I haven't had time to do my nails as much as I'd like lately but here are two past NOTD's with Revlon polishes!

No e tenido mucho tiempo para pintarme mis uñas últimamente :( pero los dejo con unos NOTD's de hace tiempo usando unos de mis favoritos esmaltes de Revlon.

Revlon - Starry Pink, 2 coats/capas

Revlon - Scandalous, 2 coats/capas over WnW Black creme.

Hope you all have a wonderful week. :) / Gracias por leerme! :)

Holos!

Without getting too into my personal life...lets just say this past weekend was extremely hard for me. I said things and did things I shouldn't have in an attempt to "fix" a situation I had no business fixing. I am in the process of fighting off the not-so-good feelings that have been left over and our weather here in Houston isn't helping! It's been cloudy and rainy all day! So in an attempt to brighten up my day...I leave you with two holos. :)

Este fin de semana fue unos de los mas difíciles para mi. Hice y dije cosas que an causado grandes problemas y todo por querer proteger a una persona muy cerca a mi. E pasado mucho tiempo pensando y triste pero no quiero dejar que lo que paso arruine mis días ni que sea causa por la cual no e actualizado por aqui. Y por eso los dejo con algo mucho mas alegre...unos esmaltes holográficos!

Nfu Oh #65 - 2 coats/capas, no top coat.

Laya - Ultra Violet - 2 coats/capas, no top coat.

Thanks for stopping by! / Gracias por leerme!

Oldie but goodie!

Here is a pretty boring mani I did a few months ago...back when I was obsessed with rhinestones!

Esta es una manicura de unos meses atrás...cuando todavía estaba adicta al uso de rhinestones!

Ulta - Green with Envy, 2 coats/capas.

...and my right hand! / ...y aquí esta mi mano derecha!

Hope you all have enjoyed your weekend! / Espero que estén disfrutando el fin de semana!

So lately I've been on a magnetic kick...

But I am quickly getting annoyed with them as I can never get the image to come out right! However, these are by far the best magnetics I have in my collection at the moment!

Estos son unos esmaltes magnéticos de Absolute. Me gustan mucho pero esta bien difícil lograr a que salga bien el diseño. :(

Absolute Bleu, 2 coats/capas w/ tc (Used Justice's star magnet)

Absolute Rouge, 2 coats/capas w/ tc (Used Absolute's magnet)

 

Hope you all are having a lovely Thursday!

I have tons of NOTDS.../Tengo muchos NOTDS...

I just don't know why I never post them! :( Anyway, there is no excuse. I must try harder! :)

This is my current mani, 2 coats of Essie Sexy Divide, with purple holographic-ish hexagonal glitter which I put on my nails individually! It did take quite a bit of time but it was so worth it! Now I don't even want to take it off. :) [Inspired by the awesome Sammy @ the Nailasaurus]

Pero no se porque nunca los pongo en mi blog! :( La verdad, no hay escusas. Tengo que tratar de dedicar mas tiempo aqui. :)

Esta es la manicura que traigo hoy. Son dos capas de Essie Sexy Divide con un glitter morado que compre hace tiempo en una tienda aqui por mi casa. :

I'm alive!

   Hello my fellow polish addicts! Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend so far. :) Without getting into too much detail...my life got bombarded with one thing after another since the last time I posted. Here is a quick summary of it all: (first and foremost...) NEW JOB!, my sister came to visit from FL, great grandmother passed away, got a gym membership (so lots of working out!), lived life a little and...my laptop DIED. Luckily my computing troubles are fixed for the most part so I hope to resume working on my blog very soon! (Lost some of the work I had done as well. :( ) Enough talking and on to one of my recently purchased (and currently FAVORITE polish evar!)

   This is my first ever half-moon mani using Sinful Colors Black on Black as a base color, with Nfu Oh #52 on top. The little steel balls I bought from Born Pretty Store and rhinestones are from eBay.

   Hola chicas! Espero estén disfrutando su fin de semana! Sin escribirles muchos detalles...me tuve que ir en hiatus porque me an sucedido muchas cosas desde la ultima vez que hice un post. Esas cosas incluyen: nuevo trabajo!, mi hermana me vino a visitar, mi abuelita falleció, me inscribí al gimnasio y mi laptop se arruino. Menos mal que la mayoría de mis problemas se an resuelto. Espero poder resumir mis proyectos y terminarlos luego!

   Esta es mi primera vez haciendo un mani de media luna. Use el esmalte de Sinful Colors Black on Black para la base y uno de mis nuevos esmaltes de Nfu Oh #52 encima.

couldn't resist bringing home the little owl ring. Got it for $1 at HEB lol
