NOTD - Holiday Card manicure

**The product in this post was purchased by me with my own money. All opinions are my own.**

Can you guys believe this year is almost over? I still can't get over how quickly this year flew by. On Friday, my family took our holiday card photos. I wanted to show you all the mani I did for it, even though it didn't end up making an appearance on the card.

It's Wednesday!! The week is half-way over! I wasn't feeling all that great last night, so I went to bed early and didn't get a chance to swatch something new. I went through my swatched folder to see what I had in there, that I hadn't shown you all yet and I found this beauty to show you guys. I snagged this China Glaze from the clearance bin at Sally Beauty a while back.

NOTD RENT

Happy Monday, lovelies!! I hope you all had as good of a weekend as I did! My hubby took me up to Syracuse, NY to see a friend of ours play Joanne in a production of RENT (one of my favorite musicals)! Of course, I had to do my nails for the occasion!

I hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday!! My family and I had so much fun last night. We definitely made up for the hubby having to work the first part of the day. Sometimes it sucks that he doesn't get holidays off, but we make up for it in the end. 

Today, I have a new (to me) indie to show you all. The lovely Laura, from Ellagee, sent me her Science Fiction Double Feature collection...and it's a beauty! The polish I have for you today is the first one that really jumped out at me when I unwrapped the bottles...Trust Me, I'm the Doctor.

Like I said before, I'm trying to cut down the size of my posts so I will be showing you guys one polish at a time.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July everyone!! I've got my celebratory mani to show you all today! It's simple. My free-handed approach to nail art really sucks, but I love this mani anyway. One thing that sucks is my wait time. I waited 30 minutes before adding top coat and it still streaked. If any of you have tips, PLEASE HELP ME!! Anyway, back to the mani, check out pics below!

China Glaze Your Touch

**The product in this post was purchased by myself with my own money. All opinions are my own.**

Yup, I have swatches of yet another China Glaze for you all today. Your Touch. I really can't tell you why this one caught my eye but it did. It is a part of their core line. I really think it is because I don't have anything this color. It's a sort of reddish brown shimmer. Really quite pretty once on the nail. Check out the pics!

I have another beauty from China Glaze for you all today. This is another one I grabbed in the clearance section at Sally Beauty a while back. It was a sea of black caps and I'm so glad I took my time poking around them all cause once I pulled this green up, I squealed with joy! I had to have it!

Yes, I know, I'm showing you guys a lot of China Glaze lately, but they're new to me since I just got them a couple weeks ago so I have to show them off to you all.

Julie G Gumdrops - Rock Candy

**This product was purchased with my own money. All opinions are my own.**

I was doing some grocery shopping at Wegmans with my munchkin the other day and the JulieG Gumdrops display caught my eye. It was practically empty, but it caught my eye nonetheless. I had been to my Rite Aid and they didn't have it. I figured if they didn't have it they weren't going to be getting it. So, I snagged what I could from the display at Wegmans. It ended up only being one for me and one for a friend, but I was pleased enough with that because I didn't think I would be able to find them at all.

NOTD - Lovely Lavender

During Walgreens' last SinfulColors $0.99 sale, I saw Lavender and just had to have it! That same week, I grabbed a bottle of Sally Hansen Hi-Definition DVD. I never thought of it at the moment, but as I'm going through that week's haul I catch a glimpse of them next to each other and I knew I had to try the combo!

In A England, mani

NOTD - Poisoned Apple

A while back A England had a sale on their Mythical collection. I knew that was the moment it was time to put some A England beauties in my collection. I knew I wanted the Knight and Shield and I had to have Tristam and Lady of the Lake, then I decided to let my husband pick the last polish. He is usually drawn towards purples, so I completely expected him to immediately pick Avalon, but no, he went straight for Perceval. I'm not one who really enjoys red, but my husband knows what he's doing, so I went with it.

My next post is from another one of the lovely ladies over at Polished Cousins. This time, it's Erin! These cousins are so much fun! The best game to play is "Which cousin is it?" Just by looking at their nails and the content of the blog. Trust me, once you fall in love with their blog, you'll be finding yourself playing the game too! :o)

Guest Post #9 - Polished Cousins

This next post is from the lady who renewed my love for all things lacquer! I feel like I owe her so much for reminding me how much I've always loved nail polish. She's an absolutely wonderful person, inside and out. She's only 1/3 of the bunch from her blog, but they all do such an amazing job! If you haven't fallen in love with their blog yet, you will now!
