I Have No Words...

 Only Pictures.




 This is one coat! The brush on these are fantastic, like the OPI wide brush but a bit smaller and shorter, seems much easier to control. I picked up a few other colors of this as well so those will be posted soon. For now I am going to bask in the awesome that this is.

Uggh...

 You know when you have a great idea in your head and then you try to get it out and it turns to crap and you wonder how that happened. That was this, I honestly was not even going to post this because I dislike it so much. I have had a few compliments on it but I guess it just isn't what I had in mind when I started. The blue was supposed to be more blended and faded together. 
 Sponging is usually one of my favorite things to do but this was a fail for me. I don't know if it was just the bad week and my patience was running thin or what but it just did not happen. I used Alpine Snow for the base then sponged What's with the Cattitude, Ogre the top Blue, with Last Friday night over the blues. Please excuse the tipwear, I have been wearing this since Sunday night and I don't want to take it off to try anything else yet. 
 Anyways, I posted this because I think everyone has a day like this and not everything always turns out like we want it.

Getting Back Into The Swing Of Things

 Now that things have calmed a bit I am getting back into my nail routine. Today I have Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow Suede to show you, it was released back in fall 2010 and you can still find it in many stores and online as well. This is a beautiful shade of green, I like the suede version much more than the original. The suede Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow dries ridiculously fast so you have to have a good amount on your brush. The picture is two coats and was completely opaque. Plus it is even more gorgeous if you apply top coat which I do not have a picture but I think Scrangie has a picture with top coat on her blog so definitely check that out. The only issue with this polish is it does not last as long as the regular formulas, Mine lasted about three to four days before chipping.

One Thing After Another

 I am sure most of you have heard of the devastation in Japan by now. As I type this we are having a powerful aftershock. This is a very unnerving place to be right at the moment. With the earthquake, tsunami and now the power plants it is a terrifying time. Thousands of people have passed away and many more are still missing, so I ask that everyone keep these people and their families in your thoughts.
 We were with out power for a few days, fortunately we have power back now but I am not sure if I will be posting for a while with all the events that are going on around us here. So with that I will leave you with this, my St. Patrick's day mani.

 Also if you haven't registered with Zoya.com yet I hear they will be doing a promotion maybe in the next day or so, very excited about what it might be.

Teenage Dream

 I am loving this pink. With three coats it was still somewhat transparent but with all the glitter you can't really tell. Like most glitters it dried quick, that must be part of why I like glitter polish so much it seems to dry by the time I get done.
 Out of the Katy Perry collection I only picked up this, Last Friday Night and the Black Shatter. Those pictures will be coming soon but for now I think I will keep this on for a few more days. 
 I have also been playing around with how I have been taking pictures, not sure if I like the white background.

Avoplex Cuticle Oil, Avojuice and Aveyou.com Reveiw

 I have somewhat fallen off the face of the Earth lately. With the mundane tasks of everyday life, acquiring several things for a small giveaway so check back soon for that, trying to get in every possible day I can of snowboarding before the season is over and having my nails pay the price for the cold harsh weather it has been tough. Honestly, my hands have not been loving me. I am positive if they could my hands would detach from my wrists and leave me for the way they have been treated as of late.
 So to address my dry hands in comes Avoplex oil and Avojuice, I have been using them both for a few days and hands feel much better. The Avoplex smells wonderful to me. I can not say what the smell is but I like it. I am addicted to the Avojuice aslo, I got mini Caramel Cream, it is awesome! They both absorb quickly and don't leave me feeling greasy.




 I ordered these through Aveyou.com along with a few other things because I could not find them anywhere else. Aveyou.com was a decent transaction for me but I had one issue. I placed an order and it didn't ship out until a full week later. Other than that they responded to my questions quickly, my items were packaged safely and everything got to me in one piece.
