Kleancolor - Holo Blue

Sorry I haven't posted much. I'm still wearing my 'rockstar nails'. :( And it's totally killing me...I want to change my mani already! Maybe I'll paint over it today and see how it looks. :) I'm thinking I should try a jelly sandwich...seeing as how I've never done one before!

In the meantime...since I still have the same mani that was in my last post...I dug up a super pretty NOTfew months ago to show you! So here we go...take a look at the beautiful Holo Blue by Kleancolor!

Hola chicas! Todavía ando la manicura de el post pasado (porque es de gel y trato de dejármelo puesto por lo menos una semana). Pero no las quería dejar sin nada que ver! Me puse a buscar entre mis fotos y encontré una foto de uno de mis esmaltes favoritos que es de Kleancolor. Este color que les voy a mostrar se llama Holo Blue y me puse una capa encima de Essence - Forever Mine. Espero les guste!

This is 1 coat of Kleancolor - Holo Blue over Essence - Forever Mine from the Denim Wanted collection.

Again, as with any glittery polish...these pictures did not do this polish combination justice! It was so beautiful, sparkly, and jelly-like almost! Got tons of compliments on this one. If you don't own the Kleancolor Holo's...you need to get them because they are stunning in person!

Este esmalte es precioso y lastima que en foto no se ve como se miraba en persona!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a great Thursday! <3 

Rockstar nails: Silver holo

Hey girlies! Hope you all have had a great weekend! (Or at least a better one than I did.) I've been at home in bed for most of it because I've been feeling pretty awful. :( but I'm getting better! :)

Anyway, as I removed my geometric mani a few days ago I was reminded of the many breaks I had on several nails. I probably could have gotten away with just polishing them as usual but I really didn't want to risk any of them breaking off completely (I can't stand having ridiculously uneven nails!)...so I made the difficult decision to give myself a gel manicure for reinforcement purposes as I've never really had much luck with the tea bag method of repairing a nail.

I know I can still paint over this and remove it with non-acetone but I feel like it looks chunky when I do that. It's okay though...I prefer chunky over broken nails! Anyway...to make myself like it a little more...I went for glitter...and lot's of it! These are my 'Rockstar Nails':

Hola chicas! Espero que estén disfrutando del fin de semana. Yo pase casi todo el dia en la cama porque no me sentía bien. Pero ya ando mejor... :)

El Jueves después de quitarme la manicura que andaba decidí hacerme una manicura con esmalte de gel porque tengo varias uñas quebradas y quería evitar que se me quiebren mas. Entonces aquí les tengo mis uñas al estilo 'Rockstar'. 

 I used the Gelish Foundation base, polish in Vegas Nights with WnW Fantasy Makers silver holo glitter scrubbed in, and two coats of Gelish Top it Off.

and a random video I shot for fun. Wasn't meant to be posted but after looking at the pictures...I realized they didn't do this mani justice. It's the only way to show how shiny and sparkly this is!

Hope you all enjoy they rest of your weekend! xoxo

I'm so excited after logging in and finding several new followers! Hello and welcome to you all! :) I feel so pumped after reading all of the lovely comments from you guys...thanks so much!

I am currently naked (lol...just took off my 'geometric mani') and having trouble deciding which untried to put on next! So for now...I'll leave you with some past NOTD's. Hope you like them!

Estoy super contenta después de haber visto que tengo nuevos seguidores! Hola y bienvenidas! :) Ahorita estoy en el proceso de quitarme la manicura geométrica que puse el otro dia y ver cual esmalte usare hoy...entonces para mientras las dejare con unos NOTD que tengo en mi photobucket que todavía no les e enseñado. Espero les guste!

Revlon - Naughty aka Perplex, 2 coats/capas

 

Then I decided to make it a Robin Moses inspired mani by using The Best Glue Ever and Martha Stewart glitter. Using a watered down version of TBGE and a striping brush I made vertical lines on my nails and then scrubbed in red, green, and holographic glitter. After adding the glitter...my lines didn't look like lines anymore so I added a few black lines using black acrylic paint and a striping brush. This looked so cool IRL! Thank you Robin Moses!

And here is a random swatch of Maybelline - Cool Couture, 2 coats/capas. I felt like this looked so blah on me...maybe it needed some stamping. :(

Okay...now I'm off to rummage through my untrieds! Thanks again for subscribing! xoxo

Polish Days: Geometry

Hi girls! So I decided to join the Polish Days group! I figured it would be a good way to motivate myself to do a little more nail art. (I have tons of nail art stuff I never use!) Sadly...I totally thought the day to post was today, Sept. 5th and it turns out it was due yesterday! Ugh. Horrible way to start.

It's okay though - I made a simple design and I'm posting it today and that's all that matters! So yesterday's Polish Day was supposed to be geometry themed. I could not come up with something more creative for the life of me...so I asked the SO for some help for the accent nail and the rest was just random placement of colors sectioned off with acrylic paint.

Hola! Espero se encuentren bien! :) Hace unas semanas atrás decidí ser parte del grupo Polish Days con la idea de motivarme a usar mis cosas que tengo para hacer nail art. Pense que el dia para actualizar era ahora pero parece que fue ayer! :( Esta bien...por lo menos logre hacer un diseño simple y se los estoy enseñado ahora! :) El tema esta vez fue geometría. Espero que les guste!

Here is my base color which was Essie - Play Date, 2 coats.

 

And then my random design. The black is one by Rimmel and the sparkly stuff is Holo Chrome by Kleancolor. The lines and accent nail were done with acrylic paint.

Thanks for stopping by! // Gracias por leerme! :)

Job hunting!

I finally did it. I quit my job! I couldn't be any happier right now. It feels so good to be free of all the drama, depression and uncertainty that was associated with it. But that means I have to job hunt now...which isn't all that fun either. I'm just praying I find something soon! :)

For today's fauxnad of the day I used a polish that didn't get much attention from the nail blogging world (as far as I'm aware of) by Revlon called Downtown. It came out with the Edgy Elegance collection which came out about a year ago, I think. It consisted of 8 polishes, all with the same metallic/shimmery like finish. The formula on Downtown was a little on the thick side but applied well. This is probably one of my better stamping jobs as it is really hard for me to fit any design on my nails at their shortest. So here tare my nails filed down as far as possible with a design from the BM-225 plate.

Al fin hice la decisión de dejar mi trabajo. Pase varios meses pensando sobre el tema pero gracias a dios la señora con la que trabajaba me lo hizo bien fácil. Ya estaba super fastidiada con todo y viéndolo bien fue la mejor decisión que pude haber hecho. Para mientras estaré buscando otro trabajo y ojala no se me haga muy difícil.

Ahora les tengo un esmalte de Revlon que salio el año pasado con la colección Edgy Elegance que se llama Downtown. Y de ahi decidí ponerme una estampilla porque casi nunca lo hago. Me cuesta mucho hacerlo porque casi siempre los diseños son muy chiquitos para mis uñas.

Revlon - Downtown

with the stamp!

I.Hate.Mondays!

Just when I thought things could not get any worse, they did. I accidentally ran over a parking block and messed up my car. I don't even want to know how much my stupid mistake is going to cost. I just adopted a dog, the person I work for has seriously cut down on my work days and now the car problem. I feel like all I ever do here is whine about my personal life but times have been rough! Sorry! :( Anyway, this is all so depressing because all of this money is money that could have gone to pretty polishes I've been wanting and now it is looking like I'm going into a low-buy/no-buy.

Back to what this blog is about...today I have a Robin Moses inspired mani. I did this a while back and totally loved how it looked in person. Obviously mine is no where near as awesome as Robin's but I tried! The base polish is China Glaze - Harvest Moon (love this color!) and the design was made using acrylic paint I bought from Michael's. The brushes used were those cheap ones from eBay that come in a 3 pack.

Ahora me encuentro un poco deprimida, discúlpenme. :( Ayer fui a hacer un mandado y pegue mi carro contra un bloque de cemento en el parqueadero. No tengo idea como es que no logre verlo! Estoy un poco preocupada por razones de dinero. Como les conté, hace poco adopte a un perrito, la señora con la que trabajo no me esta dando muchos días de trabajo y ahora con lo del carro...no se ni lo que voy hacer.

Pero dejando mi vida personal a un lado, la manicura de hoy fue inspirada por Robin Moses. Claro mi diseño no me salio como el de ella pero era mi primera vez jugando con pinturas acrílicas y brochas! :) El esmalte que tengo puesto es China Glaze - Harvest moon y las flores las hice con pinturas acrílicas.

sorry for the blurry pictures! 

Happy Saturday!!

So I was going to post today's mani but I'm about to hop in the shower and get ready to go out and party! I'm running late already! lol :) Anyway, while looking through my photobucket I found this yummy mani. Happy Saturday girls!

Los iba dejar con el mani de ahora pero tengo que alistarme para salir con unos amigos! :) Pero para mientras...aqui les voy a poner un mani que encontre en mi photobucket. Que tengan feliz Sabado!
