OPI - My Very First Knockwurst

Hi all! I'm so sorry to have randomly disappeared on you all. I have spent most of my days since my last update totally freaking out over a broken molar I got on Friday. My biggest concern in this whole situation (aside from the money and pain, and only then it is a really far second/third) is my extreme anxiety/fear I have of the dentist. Silly, I know. Needless to say the situation has pushed me over the edge...so apologies in advance if I take another unannounced leave around here. :( I have still been doing my nails every day with my blog in mind. :) Sorry for all the personal nonsense...on with the NOTD

For the first day of October, seeing as how it is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I decided to kick it off with OPI - My Very First Knockwurst. The formula on this was just as good as Don't Pretzel My Buttons...great coverage with just two coats. Then I busted out my Martha Stewart Glitter and The Best Glue Ever and painted on some random stripes and added some light purple glitter. Big fail...looked better IRL than in picture but it was still kinda weird looking...lol took it off like an hour later! :)

Hola chicas! Discúlpenme por haberme desaparecido unos días. El viernes mientras estaba comiendo me quebré una muela. Desafortunadamente, me da muchísimo miedo ir al dentista y me eh pasado todo este tiempo deprimida y desesperada porque no se como le voy hacer! Por favor mandenme unas buenas vibras porque lo voy a necesitar! Jajaja :) 

Como el mes de Octubre es el mes de prevención del cáncer de los senos, decidí empesar el mes con un esmalte rosado. Para este NOTD use OPI - My Very First Knockwurst que salio con la colección de OPI Alemania. Luego, le puse un poquito de glitter en las puntas...que en realidad no me gusto como quedo pero ni modooo... :)

Hope you have all been great! :) xoxo

Some past NOTD's

Hi all! How are you guys doing? Great, I hope! :) Today I have two past NOTD's to show you. I never got around to uploading them because every now and then I go out of town and I just got back in today. I decided to take a break from getting stuff put away to upload :) So here we go...

Hola chicas! Como están? Espero muy bien! :) Ahora les tengo dos NOTD's. Pase los últimos tres días fuera de mi casa pero ya volví y decidí dejar de guardar mis cosas para mientras para enseñarles esto! :)

My first jelly sandwich ever! New York Summer - Hot Atomic Red with OPI - Gettin' Miss Piggy With It layered in. (Decided to add a layer of Gettin' Miss Piggy With It at the end...wish I hadn't, but it still looked cool! Can't wait to try this again!)

and a not so pretty nail art. Got bored and drew some random lines with acrylic paint. This is 2 coats of Essie - Tart Deco.

Thanks for reading! <3

OPI - Don't Pretzel My Buttons + Nail Art

Hi! Hope you are all having a lovely weekend! I've been pretty busy with the family, which has been a nice change...so sorry for disappearing for a few days! After swatching/wearing all those foily Sally Hansen's I decided I was in need of a palate cleanser. I took a look in my neutral drawer and saw that I still had OPI - Don't Pretzel My Buttons untried and I've been dying to put it on! I was hoping it would be my perfect 'mannequin hands' polish but not quite...I still thought it was a pretty polish though! The formula on this was amazing and it took 2 coats to get it to look even.

Hola! Espero que estén disfrutando de el fin de semana! Discúlpenme por haber faltado unos dias por aquí...e pasado un poco ocupada pero ya volví! :) Después de haberme puesto los Sally Hansen's decidí ponerme un color neutral para cambiar un poco las cosas. Y termine escogiendo OPI - Don't Pretzel My Buttons para mi NOTD...y luego le puse un poquito de nail art! Espero les guste! Besitos!

and some random nail art using hex glitter and studs:

Sally Hansen - Tender Teal (270)

Here is the last of the 3 polishes I bought from the new Sally Hansen Diamond Strength LE collection. Tender Teal. This color is so pretty...but like with the rest of these I was not able to capture the awesomeness in a picture. Booo. :(

The formula on all three of the polishes I bought from this collection is good. A little on the thick side but manageable. As with All Aglow, this polish covered the nail beautifully in 2 coats. It looks even prettier with Revlon - Royal underneath but for swatch purposes I left that out today. Okay...on to the pictures!

Ahora les tengo el ultimo de los esmaltes que compre de la colección limitada de Sally Hansen Diamond Strength. El color que les voy a mostrar hoy es Tender Teal. Este color esta precioso pero me costo mucho tomarle fotos! Tendrán que confiar en mi cuando les digo que estos colores están bellos! :) Besos!

Not a great picture but it really glows like this!

Cell phone picture but pretty close to what it looks like IRL:

And an attempt at showing the color difference on the nail between the two:

and a random swatch picture:

L to R:

Tender Teal (2 coats), 1 coat of Tender Teal over black, Tender Teal (2 coats), 1 coat of Tender Teal over Revlon Royal.

Whew! Can you tell I struggled with these? lol It's okay...it was worth it. Hope it was helpful to some of you! <3

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength - All Aglow (280)

Hi guys! <3 I have another swatch of one of the new Sally Hansen Diamond Strength polishes! I decided to put on All Aglow today. It's a gorgeous red based purple foil polish. Sadly, in these pictures, it came out looking kind of like Zoya - Mimi, but it's different! Think of Orly Bubbly Bombshell's color with more purple in it and with a FOIL finish, not glitter! :) Or Essence - Break Through but with a foil finish. The application on this polish was great. I achieved full coverage with 2 coats and dried fairly quick with my SV.

Hola! <3 Ahora les tengo otro swatch de unos de los nuevos colores de la linea Diamond Strength de Sally Hansen. El color que me puse hoy se llama All Aglow. Trate tomar una foto que les iba enseñar bien el color pero no pude! Este color se parece mucho a Essence - Break Through pero este es un color como...metallico? "Foil". Disculpenme! No se como se le dice en Español! :) Bueno...espero que les guste!

L to R:

Zoya Mimi, 1 coat All Aglow over black, 2 coats of All Aglow, 1 coat of All Aglow over Essence Break Through

Planning on running out to get the rest of these because they are on sale right now at HEB! They are so pretty! :) Hope you all are having a great Wednesday!

Sally Hansen - Blue Frosting (230)

The SO and I decided we were going to make some bison burgers and so we headed out to HEB to buy the stuff yesterday. And anytime I go to HEB I *have* to take a quick look around the cosmetics area...and I found a new display of Sally Hansen Diamond Strengths. For $3.27 I knew I was going to have to take a few...so I picked up Blue Frosting (a light blue shimmer with pink/purple flash), Tender Teal (a blue shimmer with purple flash) and All Aglow (a purple shimmer with a hint of gold flash...but doesn't really show on the nail).

I even took off my second Gelish mani after two days to do some swaches for you all but they just would not photograph well! :( I haven't edited the rest of the pictures so for now I'll leave you with my NOTD using Blue Frosting.

Ayer fui a la tienda con mi novio porque queríamos hacer hamburguesas ahora. Cuando voy a la tienda siempre paso por la área de los cosméticos y encontré unos nuevos esmaltes de Sally Hansen! Los colores que compre son Blue Frosting, All Aglow y Tender Teal.

Trate de hacer unos swatches pero las fotos no me salían bien! :( Para mientras las dejo con mi NOTD usando el esmalte Blue Frosting!

Sally Hansen XW - Pacific Blue, 2 coats with 1 coat of Sally Hansen DS Blue Frosting

 Sorry for the horrible pictures...and as always, thanks for reading! <3

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
