#wearyellowforseth

So, there's this little boy named Seth that is battling Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID). He was in need of a second bone marrow transplant, and everyone was challenged to wear yellow to support him yesterday March 27, 2015. To read more about Seth and his journey, visit their Facebook page and their blog!

I wish I would have gotten this posted yesterday!!! Here is my contribution to #wearyellowforseth.

All colors used are by Sinful Colors: Let's Meet (YELLOW!), Go Go Boots (purple), Savage, and Hazard. I really kind of love this mani, so as badly as I'm itching to repaint, I'm leaving it on a little longer to support one super adorable little hero! <3 nbsp="" p="">

Stay strong, little man!!!

Push Your Mani - March 5, 2015

I know, I'm falling behind again! Darn life getting in the way of all the fun stuff I want to do. *grumblesneergrumble*

Anyways! On to the second Push Your Mani prompt! March 5th brings us Cherry Blossoms! I did have a lot of fun doing this mani, even if it didn't turn out quite like I imagined. :-)

For this one, I used Revlon Cayenne and Buttercup, NYC Brownstone, and Maybelline Bleached Neons in Pink Punch and Coral Heat mixed together. I do love this red...so I'll be using it again!


One of these days, I'll get through an entire PYM month again!

Thanks for stopping by!

March Mani Swap

Oooooh, I love mani swaps! I love looking through someone else's art and choosing something that I love so I can recreate it. And seeing what others choose of mine? Psh, LOVE! Yeah, I'm a mushy, squishy, unicorns and rainbows kind of person. Most of the time. Ha!

Anyways. Back to nails. I've done a handful of these mani swaps in the past, and I'm hoping I'll get around to posting them on my "past mani's" page. Maybe I'll just make one big love fest post and have them all in one place, who knows! The March swap is the focus of this post, so I need to stop with the tangents.

I was paired with @baboo_does_nails this time, and MAN did I love looking through everything she has on IG. I think I picked out about 10 manis that I want to recreate, but I opted for this one because it just screams summer, and I can't wait until warmer open-all-the-doors-and-windows weather!

For this mani, I used L.A. Colors Flicker and Absolute. It's stamped with Sally Hansen White On using my Cici&Sisi plate 05. I love it!


And here is the collage with both of our recreations. She chose my quilted mani, and totally rocked it! Go check her out!



Do you enjoy mani swaps? What's your favorite design to recreate?

See ya next time!

Push Your Mani - March 2, 2015

Howdy! If you like challenging yourself with your nail art, you're probably aware of a few monthly challenges on Instagram already. Well, this one comes to you from @Push Your Mani! This particular challenge holds a special place in my heart because I've been chatting with the person in charge of it for quite some time now ;-) I love these challenges because they really make me try things that maybe I haven't tried, or just haven't thought to try. I do enjoy them but alas. I am a slacker, and I don't do them enough!

I've done stamping in the past, but just plain old stamping. I've not been brave enough to try advanced stamping until now. I used Sinful Colors Hazard and Solar Flux for my base colors, and stamped with Sinful Colors Nirvana using my Cici&Sisi plate 5. I filled the stamp in with Revlon Hypnotize, Sinful Colors Hazard and Mint Apple. I actually love how this turned out, even though it wasn't my original plan.

Check it out! What do you think?


See you next time!

M Polish!

Ok, so I slacked off for a while there. I posted about buying the M Polish mini set, and never updated! Well let me just say, M Polish is amazing! First of all, I got my order in a matter of a few days, and there was a little hand written thank you note on my invoice. I wanted to tear into them so fast and try them out. However, a very kind, fellow polish enthusiast from the message board I am on contacted me asking if I wanted to swap my minis for her full sizes for just the price difference. Um. YEAH!!! So, I had to ship off my minis, and wait for these beauties to land in my little paws!


Seriously, if you are into stamping, you need these polishes. 5 free. GORGEOUS over black - and any other color, really. They're amazing. If you'd like to see some great reviews and pics before I get around to posting my manis with them, check out some of these great bloggers!

And of course, you can find M Polish on Facebook at M Polish, or on Instagram at @mpolishes.

So, do you have these beauties? What do you think!?
