Weathering the Storm

“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” ― Haruki Murakami

So I hate some aspects of life right now. Boys suck basically. But anyway, I'm so glad I have nail polish and all my beautiful nail friends! Nail polish will always be there for me, it will never leave me! Anyway, I decided to try out ligthning nails. I roughly based my design off of that of The Daily Nail Blog's take on them.

Polishgate Haul

Well it's a week post Polishgate and many of us have gotten our deal hauls from them. I do have to say that I am thrilled this whole mess is over. It was way too much drama. It was also a rollercoaster of emotions. Friday night, or I guess it was Saturday morning because it was so late, we were all on a nail polish high and then Saturday afternoon we all had our dreams crushed. Then the drama followed, and oh man, the drama was strong. Anyway, on Wednesday I received my haul 13 bottles as opposed to the original 141 I ordered, but it was still a great deal!


I got 13 bottles in total. Seche Restore, Essie Turquoise and Caicos, China Glaze Sweet Hook, China Glaze Snow Globe, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, China Glaze Blue Island Ice Tea, China Glaze Re-fresh Mint, China Glaze Luxe and Lush, China Glaze Fast Track, China Glaze Up All Night, China Glaze Riveting, China Glaze Tinsel Town, and China Glaze Skyscraper.


China Glaze Sweet Hook is swatched above, it is one of my favorites from the haul. It's kind of a purple/pink pastel creme.


I was shocked when I first put CG Riveting on my nails. It was SO bright and bold. It's a beautiful orange with gold shimmer in it. It's definitely an 'in your face' color and I love it!

Purple presents!

Last post for the day! I love the idea of what this mani was supposed to be but in the end it just didn't turn out. I probably should have spent more than 20 minutes on it! I still think it's kind of cute!



The only one I'm remotely happy with is the thumb! 

Teed Off!

I don't think I've ever actually played golf but my friend loves it so I decided to paint some golf nails for him! It was actually pretty simple and I got to use green for a change which I hardly ever do!




Caught in a Web!

Wow I'm so behind in posting pictures of my manicures. I did these about a week ago as my first Halloween mani! I love Halloween! I will probably be doing multiple different Halloween inspired manicures, here is the first which is webs and a spider, with sparkles of course!


21 days until Halloween! Anyone else excited?
