Sally Hansen Just in Lime

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri  is probably my favorite drug store polish.  Even with the wide flat brush that causes so many people grief, I love it!  It is particularly great for stamping.  With Insta-Dri I can polish my nails and be out the door in 10 minutes without a scratch.  Just in Lime is a bright green, almost neon, but not quite.  This is two coats of Just in Lime, followed by a single coat of nubar Diamont.

Zoya Lara, Kieko, and Julieanne

Sorry for the slow posting lately, work has been super busy.  I have not had a ton of time to do fun manicures, but this one was pretty simple.  I started with Zoya Lara, a great pink base!  Next I added a quick coat of Kieko and Julieanne at the tips.  To finish the look I added two strips of silver foil and followed with a top coat.  This was such a fun accent nail!

Essie Sugar Daddy

I don't often wear sheer polish, but when the occasion calls I reach for Essie Sugar Daddy.  For my skin tone it is the perfect pink sheer.  This is 2 coats of Sugar Daddy, and a single coat of nubar Diamont.  Sugar Daddy isn't streaky at all, and evens out pretty magically on your nail.  Do you have a favorite sheer that is your go to?

Barley's new Coach collar

I had to share Barley's new collar today.  His big sister, Button's, has had one for a few years now and I got a great deal from Coach to get one for the little guy.  My husband decided he should have a navy one, I was pushing for red.  (Chase will get a red one!)  But I am really glad we got the navy for Barly, it looks so good on him! 

I loved that Coach packaged it up just as carefully as they do their purses.  It even came with its own dust bag!  The craftsmanship on it is fantastic.  I know they are a little pricey, but they last forever.  Button's has had her's for years!

A shout out to Boomerang Tags too, they make awesome ID tags.  I will never order an ID tag from anywhere else.  I have ordered from them for almost 7 years, and they rock!  I blurred out our family info, the engraving is always crystal clear.

Here is the little model himself, quite handsome if I do say so!

Zoya Alegra

Zoya Alegra, part of the 2010 Summer Sparkle collection, is one of my favorite fuchsia sparkling metallic polish.  It has gorgeous glass flecks that just pop in the sunlight.  According to Zoya's website it is supposed to be a 5 on the opacity scale which is as high as it goes for them.  I don't know if I agree with at since I needed 3 coats to get rid of the visible nail line.  This is 3 coats of Zoya Alegra, and a single coat of nubar Diamont.

Zoya Sydney

Zoya Sydney is a very pink shimmery frost.  Sometimes it looks plum, then it looks magenta, and it can turn to Barbie pink.  Sydney is a little on the transparent side, it took about 3 coats to get rid of the visible nail line.  I added a fourth to give it a little depth.  For a frost I didn't have too much of a problem with brush strokes.  This is 4 coats of Zoya Sydney, with a single coat of Zoya Armor.

I see your Charla and Alegra, and I raise you a Wednesday!

The combination of Charla and Alegra was so fun that I wanted to wear it for a few days.  At the end of the second day I pulled out my stamping plates and used Wednesday to add this design over the top.  I loved the combination, and the contrast was just enough to make it look a little different.

Zoya Alegra topped with Zoya Charla

This combo was inspired by my friend, Bonnie.  She originally had combined Gilda and Charla, but since I don't own Gilda, I had to substitute with Alegra.  Boy was she right that this was a great combo!  I started with 2 coats of Alegra and cover with a single coat of Charla.  I topped the look with a single goat of Zoya Armor.  Such a great look, sometimes pink and then purple, and then a punch of aqua!  Thanks Bonnie!

China Glaze Fast Track

This is China Glaze Fast Track from the Hunger Games.  It is a very nude or beige with gold micro glitter dispersed throughout.  The formula was a bit thin, which was fine since I needed 3 coats for it to be opaque.  Overall I was happy with the shade, but there was nothing really "wow" about it that will make me reach for it again.

College Football Opener! Zoya Kristi and Raven

It is the first game today for my Wisconsin Badgers.  Living in Michigan, it's so great to see some red, white and black on my TV.  In honor of the first game of the season, I am sporting Zoya Kristi and Zoya Raven.  I added a little tattoo from Football Fanatics (found here).  It was super easy to apply, and I covered it with a single coat of clear polish.  They make them in a ton of teams, so check them out for your next big sporting event!
