Leopard Print Throwback

Hi everybun! It was 12:33am last night when I realized I missed Sunday Bunday and for that I apologize!

But I do have a bit of a throwback today. Remember this? Where I called it cheetah print yet it was actually leopard?

Well I thought I'd dabble with that design again, except this time I plan to call it what it actually is!

I used China Glaze - White Cap for the shimmer 

 an unnamed Color Club green

and

Sinful Colors - Ebony Hates Chris

See you all again Wednesday. Also, college has started up again so I'll try to stay on top of my stuff but I have 5 classes to juggle!

Color Club - Endless Summer

Hello Everybun!

Now I know my shop opening was supposed to be today, but unfortunately I've come down with the flu!

Out of ALL of the weeks to be sick WHY THIS ONE?!

That's all right, the fiddly last minute things still need to be sorted out.

Meanwhile, I thought I'd show you all the state of my nails since I've come back from Mexico.

That's right! Those are (sort of) my natural nails! I just put a thin layer of acrylic over them because I kid you not when I say my nails are flimsy and thin. I was constantly worrying about breaking them and when they hit even remotely warm water it HURT!

Also as most of you know, when you have acrylic nails, nail polish tends to stick longer to them which is a huge plus!

Aren't they cute?! They're just little baby squovals!

This is also my right hand because my ring finger on my left hand is a little too small for my liking. 

As for the polish this is Color Club - Endless Summer.
Endless Summer is such a pretty, squishy blue! This is two coats without top coat.

I'm back into the swing of polish things ya'll !

Unboxing of The Nail Stash - May 2013

Hello everybun, I'm doing something a little bit different today because I just received my first month of the nail polish subscription service, The Nail Stash. The Nail Stash has subscription services offered for 1 Month ($14.00), 3 Months ($39.00), 6 Months ($79.00) and 12 Months for ($150.00).
As a trial I decided to buy myself a 3 Month subscription to see how it goes.
Well their was a delay for this past months box so this is really an unboxing of the May 2013 box in June!

No matter for the delay, so here we go!

It was so hard for me to refrain myself from ripping this box to shreds and getting to the nail goodies, but I managed just for the sake of these pictures!

I really like the appearance of the boxes, the bright red theme is sure to catch your attention and its nice to look forward to getting that bright red box in the mail! I appreciate myself some nice packagin's!

It was nice to get this card (even if it didn't include every polish) that shows what you might get because look at it all! Can you REALLY get that many polishes/goodies?!

Tada!

These are the polishes and the goody that I received. I WAS however nervous to see that all of the polishes had sunk to the bottom of these little red crinkly worms and were just freely roaming around the box. Granted their is a layer of bubble wrap on the bottom but I had to dig to get these babies out. The caviar beads, in fact, were tangled in the little red crinkly worms!

From left to right the polishes are OPI - Happy Anniversary
 The second one, after much research, I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is! It doesn't look like anything in the OPI I pronounce you... or the OPI Disney Oz Great & Powerful. Of course since it is a mini it doesn't have a name on it...,
Color Club - Endless Summer (which was not written on the card)
Nubar - Sparkle Me Up
 and Nubar -Forbidden Fruit

The last little guy, of course, is a caviar bead pot. If I don't use this, I think I'll save it for a future give away!

Overall I am happy with this month. I've never tried Nubar polishes and I always love me some Color Club! The OPI minis are meh for me because out of all the minis, OPI seems to have then miniest of minis. I wish I knew the second colors name though. 

I'll do the unboxing for next months Nail Stash as well so look forward to that!

Spring Flower Fun - Nails Inc. - Holland Park and Color Club - Twiggie

Spring times here and I'm really feeling it!

I was part of a spring postcard exchange between me and 18 other bunnies from BunSpace (I know! A website, much like MySpace for Bunnies!) and I just got my postcards out today. So far I've gotten cards from Australia, Finland, Australia and Alabama! 

Anyway, on to the nails! First off I received 14 super cool nail polishes from a haul on eBay and as soon as I got them the other day I had to do nail art with a few of the colors I got! 

First I chose a base color which was Color Club - Twiggie (at least what I suspect it is, what's up with the lack of labels on most of the Color Clubs I buy?! Are all of them like this?!) and then I chose an accent nail color which was Nails Inc. - Holland Park (My first Nails Inc.!)

Then I was stumped for inspiration! The colors reminded me of dinosaurs so I wanted to do that, but I couldn't find a way to translate the awesomeness that was floating around in my mind! So then I thought dots, but yet again, I couldn't translate that either!

Finally, I got frustrated and decided to go with the flowers I created from my floral skirt inspired post, but in different colors!

Wellah! The Epitome of spring! 

Have a Bunderful - Ahem - Wonderful Wednesday!

Valentine's Day Mani Finale!

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day everybody! Even if you don't celebrate Valentne's Day, these Manis should still make you as cheery as if you did!

I have not one, not two, but THREE Valentine's treats for you all.

Here is your first treat :

I used a buttload of colors here and used a dotting tool to sprinkle the pinks on.

The pinks I used from lightest to darkest were :

Color Club - Blushing Rose

Ulta - Flamingo

Santee - Flower Pink

Lycra - Pink Punk

Santee - Fusion Pink

Rimmel - Stop Traffic

I then took a small brush and used Wet n Wild - Ebony Hates Chris to outline the black heart and finished it off with Kleancolor - Madly Matte.

Overall I think this one turned out OK, it wasn't what I envisioned in my head and the Matte made it turn out all lumpy, but oh well.

Your next treat is my favorite :

I got the inspiration for this one from the Hello Kitty cookie jar that my Mom got me for christmas.

For the pink I used Lycra - Pink Punk Sinful and I used Sinful Colors - Snow Me White with a dotting tool for the dots and hearts.

This is the Mani I'm sportin' for Valentine's Day, it's a lot brighter in person.

I finished this off with a coat of Seche Vite.

And your last, but not least treat is one that I did on my friend Tiana. She came up to me and asked me for a Valentine's Day Mani that was "like mine, but not." This is what we came up with :

I like that this one was simple yet cute. I'm especially surprised that I was able to get the heart on her ring finger so even! I used the same colors as mine,  Lycra - Pink Punk Sinful and Sinful Colors - Snow Me White. 

Once again, Have a Happy Valentine's Day! I just got my first Shimmer nail polish today and have some nail art plans in mind for it coming up next week. 

Also, Thank you very much to Kat Stays Polished for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award. I'll follow the rules and get that post up tomorrow!

Valentines Mani - Day 1

Hello everyone!

Today we have part 1 of 3 for Valentines Day week. I absolutely LOVE valentines day. Not because of the love, not because of the story of valentines day and not because of how nice everyone seems to be. No, it is a fact that I love valentines day because of the TREATS!

What a better way to begin this week, and show my love of valentines treats alike than a cupcake mani?!

I used a handful (no pun intended!) of colors here, even though it doesn't really look like it.

We have:

Starting with the base : NYC - City Sweets Pink

The cupcake and cupcake bottom : Color Club , Which didn't have a name on the box it came in or on the bottle, Upon further swatch investigation online it looks like it's called Blossoming Rose from their Blossoming Spring 2012 Collection. 

The white outline is : Sinful Colors - Snow Me White, I also added this under the Blossoming Rose on the tips of my nails so it appeared lighter (which worked!)

The red hearts on the top : Nailtini - Bloody Mary

The pink hearts on the bottom : Finger Paints - Watermelon

And finally, the sparkles on the cupcakes : Spoiled - I Gotta Confection To Make

Whether you have a Valentine or not, don't worry. You'll ALWAYS have chocolate!
