Back on schedule

Hey all. Ok I know I said I would post last night but these 2 jobs are really getting to me. Don't get me wrong. I do love working at both places. I just feel like that is all I do. Welcome to adulthood right? BLECH!

Anyways since I was doing clinicals every Tuesday and now I'm not, I can change my polish more :) Yay! Here are two posts and then you will be caught up to what I have on my nails right now. (That will be a surprise to the end of the post)

First one I did was exactly like the one I have done before. First I used Jesse's Girl Babycakes and then taped off the sides painted Pure Ice in white and Konaded the leopard print on with Wet and Wild black.

I really like this design so that is why I repeated it. I wont lie to you. It will probably not be the last time you see it either. :)

OK! Onto the next design...

I do Harris Poll surveys every now and again and I let my points build up so that I could get a $20 gift card from Amazon. Guess what I bought? RIGHT! Nail polish. I needed more topcoat so I bought two of those, plus I got China Glaze Aquadelic, OPI Dating a Royal, and LA Girl Glitter Uninhibited. I also ordered a nail polish that is on my fingers right now and I will give you a hint at the end of the post.

So for these nails I had on China Glaze Aquadelic which is a really pretty blue color. Or aqua. Ha! And then I put some of the black glitter, which I have been DYING to have, over it.

Isn't it a pretty combo??

I LOVE black and aqua together and I received many complements on it. Though some were confused as to how the black shatter (from OPI) could do something like that. :)

Ok so I have been on the waiting list for this stuff for a while now. I seriously gave up. One night I was laying awake and my phone went off telling me it was back in stock. I went to the website as fast as I could and their server was down. No matter which way I refreshed, it wouldn't let me in. So I gave up. Right before I turned my laptop off and went to bed, I decided to check one more time. Guess what? I got it :D I was so excited I couldn't believe that I was getting it (I'm super lame. I know) but I am happy. Ready for your hint?

Love this stuff so far :D

P.s. Tell your friends about Fancy Phalanges because when I hit the 50 followers mark I'm going to have a giveaway!!!

New Essie Polish

So I was at Wal*Mart the other day and I saw a new Essie display and this color popped out at me. I didn't pick it up right away but then in another area I saw it again and I had to have it. I was going to paint my nails just the color because it was so beautiful but then I decided to make it fun and scotch tape the nail diagonally and then add a holographic polish. It is snazzy and I love it.
This is Essie's Go overboard with Icing Glamorous

It's blurry but the color is about how it looks. It reminds me of Nicole OPI's Chloe had a lam lam... I think that is what that was called...

Look how fun!!

And the Icing polish is so colorful and sparkly.

Can you see the pretties?

If you can get your hands on either of these polishes I would ASAP because they are super nice and a good pair together. Hopefully I will put up another post sometime this week. Have a good one everyone!!

Nail pics from my phone part 2

Ok so I realize after I was looking at those that I never gave any info with them like how I did them or what colors I used. If you really want to know just shoot me a comment and I would be more than happy to let you know what I used.

So this next part is more me trying different things. Whether or not I liked the turnout was a whole other thing but these are the pics for them:

This mani was one I saw online only they used blue instead of the red. I honestly have no idea where it was from and if you happen to know let me know and I'll give them full credit. Sorry I'm a bit of a flake.

These next two I wanted to try to plaid them. I started with just black and sparkley in the first picture but it looked a little bla to me so I wanted to jazz it up so I added some hot pink :)

My next one used my favorite polish. OPI Ski Teal We Drop. I love love love blue polish. I dont care what anyone says. Those are the first ones I go towards in the stores.

The next one was using the Sally Hanson Crackle. It was the white one. Can't think of the name offhand. I liked the turnout but I have to say that after not using it for a while, the brush went bendy. Not a fan of that.

After I painted my nails red, I really wanted to spice them up and I was a little disappointed that it ended up looking like lady bugs. Don't get me wrong, I dont mind that look. It just wasn't what I was going for.

This next one reminds me for some reason of nautical stuff or like a sailor. Not sure why. There is just something about it.

I was shopping in MN and I went into the Icing store and picked up this beauty. It is so pretty in real life... this picture doesn't do it any kind of justice.

I finally got into the Konad thing. It is easier than I thought it would be. I am pretty excited about using all of the different plates that I got. These are just a few that I tried.

This next one was one that I did around Halloween. It reminds me of spider webs but I wasn't going for that. I still really liked the outcome.

The next one was my Christmas mani. I know that many people did something similar to this and I did enjoy it. I also added China Glaze Fairy Dust to the top so it sparkled.

For Christmas, my wonderful boyfriend bought me a Coach purse and dotting tools so I wanted to give them a go when I used silver on top of China Glaze Frostbite.

And lastly this is the most recent, AKA I tried it a few days ago. I had on China Glaze China Rouge, and I wanted to try the gradient thing and I really dont think that I got the hang of it. It was really thick and it felt weird on my fingers.. maybe I'm just doing it wrong. It looked ok but it wasn't my favorite.

That's all I have for right now. Sorry if they aren't the greatest quality or just not good manicures. I do this for me and I hope you enjoy them.
