To Holo, or Not to Holo....

That is the question!!!

I spent like... an hour deciding whether or not I wanted holo on my nails. which is dumb because of course I wanted holo on my nails!!!   I LOVE HOLOS!!!  So for finals week, I decided a holo was necessary.  I, therefore did a reddish orange ( Zoya Lana) and then did a.... *ahem* rather uneven and spotty layer of O.P.I DS Sapphire (my baby <3) on top of that for the holo effect!  And. I. Love. It.

An Ap-peel-ing Guest! Aren't you Gelish!

Ok... so I fell off the face of the planet.  Sorry about that!  And I will probably be super busy for the next couple of weeks!!  My fiance and I will be moving across the country, so until mid June I may not be posting much lol But for now, lets just enjoy each others company!!  Todays post is a guest appearance from Brittani again!  I did another Gelish mani for her, and I LOVE the way it turned out!!

Fantasy for my Fingers Too!

Ok, I'm supposed to be doing homework, but a blog (though distracting) is the perfect procrastination tool!  Anyhow, forward we march! This polish, although entitled Flip Flop Fantasy, is beautiful on fingers as well, though I must admit that it is one of my least favorite to apply...  In any case, the color that comes from the application is well worth the hassle.  To add some spice to my neon fingertips, I added a Nubar fleck on top.  You could only see the fleck when I was inside, otherwise the polish was just too bright to be able to see the iridescent beauty that lined the tops of my polished digits, however, addition of the flecks was something else... I loved it while I was inside, and desperately missed it when I was outside!!

In this one I was trying to show the brightness more than the fleck.  Much to my chagrin, the brightness cannot effectively be captured on camera =/

This is a more accurate portrayal, but still not even close to the neon magnificence. 

This one was intended to show the fleck... you cant REALLY see it... but it is there... swearsies!  Click on it to make it bigger so you can see them better =)

and a question... Does ANYONE know where I can get one of these???  I may be in love!
Nom nom nom  Pac man wins again!

anyways....
I dont have much else for you guys today, and I really should be off to do my homework anyhow... so... I suppose Ta-Ta for now!  

Have a beautiful day!!

Cinderella and Strawberry Fields Flowers

Oh my gosh I'm so far behind on life!!  Sorry I haven't blogged in so long!  Wedding planning and working on finals/ finishing homework so I can graduate in 18 days is eating up all of my free time lol  here is what I have for you today!!  I went to my aunts baby shower, so I semi-themed my nails =)  baby blue with baby pink glass fleck speclkes (Cinderella from Sinful colors) and  two accent nails on each hand that are a bright dark-ish pink with gold glass fleck speckles (Strawberry fields by China Glaze) lol and it seemed quite plain so I added little flowers (since the baby is supposed to be a BABY GIRL :D).  I used a speckled black (Stone cold from China Glaze's Hunger Game series) and the petals were a suuuperrrr light pink, almost pearly white (Play the Peonies by O.P.I)  And this is how they turned out
