Galaxy Nails: Envy Lacquer, M Polish
Hello again lovelies! So...let's talk Galaxy nails! Have you done them yet? Are you afraid to try them like I was? Well...let me tell you something! They are so fun and so easy!!! This was my very first attempt at galaxy nails, and I can definitely see myself doing them a lot more often, especially if I keep using Licorice Whip!
For this mani, I used a base of Envy Lacquer Licorice Whip. I sponged on M Polish Apple Blossom, Bells of Ireland, Snowberry and Star Flower. So. Easy. So easy!
You can find the products I used here:

Do you like to do galaxy manis? How often do you do them?
Polish on!

Comparison: OPI Big Apple Red vs. Zoya Carmen
Hello again! Just a quick comparison of a couple of polishes that I have for you today! I was working on my "Favorite Sport or Hobby" mani, and I noticed that Zoya Carmen looked a LOT like OPI Big Apple Red.
Now, a little back story that's completely irrelevant to the post (but fun, nonetheless!). OPI Big Apple Red is one of two polishes I received from a fellow March 2010 mom in a Christmas gift exchange a couple of years ago. It was shortly after that, that I found the message board that threw me head first down into the colorful abyss! Now look at me...ok, well, don't...lol!!
Anyways, back on track!
I think that adding a third coat of Zoya Carmen might make these two darn near indistinguishable. What do you think?
Polish on, lovelies!
~Stacy
Bottle comparison shot. Indoors on top, full sun on bottom. See how similar they look?! |
Anyways, back on track!
Two coats each, indoors, no top coat. |

Mommy's Mani Monday: Favorite Sport or Hobby
Hello again, fellow nail lovers! The Mommy's Mani Monday theme for September 21st was "Favorite Sport or Hobby". Well, besides the obvious...I love many things! Which one would translate well to my nails, though??? I thought about it for a few minutes, and the one thing (besides polish) that kept popping into my head was my love of hockey! Detroit Red Wings hockey to be exact! The ideas started running circles in my head, but I just couldn't imagine a hockey puck and stick translating very well to my nails. Especially with my limited freehand abilities. I've wanted to put an old English "D" on my nails for so long, but have yet to acquire a stamping plate with said letter on it. So...I did it freehand, to the best of my abilities, that is!
For this mani I used:
Zoya Carmen and Oswin
Sinful Colors Snow Me White
And here is the collage! Great job, ladies!
The products I used can be found:
Sinful colors: can be found at many retailers such as Rite Aid, Walgreens, Walmart
Zoya: can be found at ULTA, and online at zoya.com
Polish on!

Mommy's Mani Monday: Back to School
The September 7th theme for Mommy's Mani Monday was "Back to School". I had already done a BTS mani, and didn't have a chance to complete a new one for that week. However, the ladies in that group are so amazing that they used my former BTS mani. Here is the full collage for that week!

Fall Mani - Recreated from Narmai, PiggieLuv
Hey there! So, there's this girl...and I kind of have a major crush on her amazing artistic abilities when it comes to freehand nail art. If you haven't yet, check her out on Instagram, her blog, and Facebook!
Ok, now...I was sent this image by a friend of mine with a simple message of "dooooooo this!!!!!"
I giggled at first thinking "man, I don't think I could do that justice at all" but then I thought..."that is gorgeous. I have to try!" I really need some work on my freehand skills, and some acrylic paints, but I do like how this turned out. :-)
For this mani, I used:
Funky Fingers Dark Knight
M Polish Bronze, Copper, Elizabethan and Guilded
Zoya Tomoko
The polishes I used can be found at:
Funky Fingers can be found at Five Below stores
M Polish: Website; Instagram; Facebook
Zoya: Can be found at Ulta and online at zoya.com

Avon Breast Cancer Walk Mani and Collage
Hey lovelies :-)
Recently, a fellow mom and nail polish lover participated in the Avon Breast Cancer walk. We were all there for her (in spirit) from the minute she decided to walk, through her training, through the walk, and still now after she has already completed the walk! The nail community has brought me so many great friends, and I have a deep appreciation for each and every one of you. <3 p="">
Many of us coordinated our mani's to correspond with her walk. The only requirement? Include the color pink! So, here you will see the collage that was put together, and below, my solo shot from the collaboration. :-)
And here's my solo shot! I used:
M Polish Annette and Snowberry

Push Your Mani September: Ruffian
Hi there again! The second prompt for September's Push Your Mani was "Ruffian". I had never done one, and was pretty excited to try it. Thankfully, I had good motivation for the colors that I used, which made executing pretty easy. Picking colors - for me - is sometimes my biggest challenge!!! Anyways, we were going to watch the Detroit Tigers play, so blue and orange it was!
Colors used:
M Polish Hottie
Sinful Colors Matte About Blue
Love Angeline Coralline
Stamped using Born Pretty Store plate BP-13
You can find these products here:

Love Angeline: Website; Instagram; Facebook

Push Your Mani September: Doodle
Hello again, lovelies!
The first Push Your Mani prompt for September was "Doodle". I had a couple of polishes that I hadn't had a chance to play with very much yet, and I thought they would look great together, so I went for it! For my base, I used Daily Hues Nail Lacquer "Julie". It's a creamy white crelly with aqua glitters in it. So pretty! I freehanded the "doodles" using Envy Lacquer "Pisces At Heart" because, well...I'm a Pisces! :-)

Back to shorties...
The past few weeks have been pretty brutal on my nails. I've been dealing with peeling again, a couple of minor breaks and chips, as well as some pretty major breaks on my Cindy hand. Well, this weekend pretty much did my nails in. We had gone to my in-laws house - dog and all - but unloading when we got home was the end of the length that I had going. *sigh* The next few posts you see here on my blog will be "pre-chop". For now...I'm rockin' these shorties!
My nail length and shape seems to change quite frequently. Does yours?
Polish on, lovelies!

Push Your Mani August: Matte
Hey there! Here is another Push Your Mani, mani! This one is "Matte". I've wanted to do something like this for quite a while. I just wish I could top coat the whole thing and not lose the stamp! Ah well...
For this mani, I used NYC Color Prince Street and my Wet & Wild matte top coat. Stamped with Shany Cosmetics plate SH203.
One more prompt to go! Do you enjoy monthly challenges? Or do you prefer to work alone? ;-)

Push Your Mani August: Peach
Hey there lovelies! Hopefully over the next couple of days I will actually get the last few August Push Your Mani prompts shared. I seem to have acquired a couple of extra kids for a few days, so I'm both busier and less busy than I have been. If that makes any sense whatsoever.
Anyways, that's beside the point. Let's get on with it! NAILS!!!
In this post, I am sharing my super simple, super pretty peach nails! I suppose this could even count as a swatch, except I didn't use my DSLR and light box for the pic, therefore, no swatch! Sometimes it's nice to just do a simple mani. A palette cleanser of sorts...

Push Your Mani August: Stained Glass
Hello! This prompt...ooohhh, this prompt. I had so many ideas that I wanted to try. So many stamps that I had in my head but this one...this one stood out to me. I had to give it a shot, and of course, I had to try out my brand spanking new Cayuga that I got from M Polish! Seriously, if you haven't tried M Polish yet, you are soooooo missing out! I only had to stamp each of my nails one time. ONCE. And it cleaned up like a dream.
This mani is stamped using M Polish Cayuga and CiCi&SiSi 27. I filled all the little nooks and crannies in with ORLY Bling, Digital Glitter and Steal The Spotlight. Love the sparklies in this one. :-)

Revisit: Cover Girl Capitol Collection
Hi! These are some old swatches, but I feel like I need to share them again since Mocking Jay Part 2 will be coming out in just a couple of months (eek...I can't wait!).
And here are a couple of the designs I did with this collection:
How many "full" collections do you have in your stash? I'm almost embarrassed to say, myself...haha!
Polish on, lovelies!
~Stacy
I had purchased one or two of these when they first came out, and quickly went on the hunt to find the rest of them. I had to have them!
I'm relatively certain that I used 3 coats for each of these, maybe 4 on some? It's been a little while though, so frankly...I don't remember! :-)
Now, the swatches!
These are all pre-light box, and pre-macro lens...sooooo...they're taken standing in one of my windows with the curtain as the backdrop! :-)

Good morning fellow nail polish lovers!
This month I was paired with the amazing crooked_mani. Click that link to go check out her Instagram page!
We agreed on a picture that I took of one of my oldest daughter's dresses, but decided to replace the green with purple. This was so much fun, that I'll definitely be doing this style/design again in the future!

Here is my solo shot! So.much.fun! I used Bear Pawlish Peek-A-Boo! and Ultra Violet (LOOOOVE), and I used Sally Hansen White On, as well as M Polish Scouting the Beach for the freehand daisies! I'm a wee bit miffed that my quick dry top coat decided it wanted to matte my tips. :-/ Probably thanks to the humidity, fan and open window, so yeah. It's my own fault! LOL!

Push Your Mani August: Flamingos
Hello again! :-)
I fell behind again on the Push Your Mani prompts, but I'm going to do my best to catch up and complete them all!
This weekend I visited my sister (sans kiddos ;-) ), and was able to complete the flamingo prompt between all the toes and fingers of my sister and niece being painted!
In this mani, I used KBShimmer In Bare Form, one of my no name The Color Workshop polishes, Sally Hansen Fucsia Power and Black Out.
How are you enjoying all of the summer mani's that have been around? I have been, but man am I ready for some fall preties to come out and play!

Stamped Weekend Mani
Hi again! Last weekend, the hubby and I took the whole fam up to my mom and step-dad's cabin. We had lots of fun, and of course I had to paint my nails with a 'wow factor' that had a bit of staying power (read: glitter!). So, I opted for some glitter, and a bit of subtle stamping!
Here we have Funky Fingers Bling Dipper (photochrome!) stamped with Gesso using my brand spanking new CiCi&SiSi 30 plate!
Are you a stamper? What are your go-to products?

Mommy's Mani Monday: Mani Orders & Reverse Mani Orders
Hello again, fellow polish lovers! This post is all about Mommy's Mani Monday! It wound up being a combined post on Instagram, so you get a two-fer! :-)
For the August 3rd edition of Mommy's Mani Monday, we were assigned another person in the group to give "orders" to. @ThePolishedPerspective (check her out, she's amazeballs!) "ordered" me to use my least favorite and most favorite color. For this mani, I used Sinful Colors Vacation Time and Tempest (because I LOVE purple!!!). I used a fan brush to work both colors into the mani, and I actually kind of like how it turned out!
I was assigned to give orders to @hottmama_of4 (go check her out, too, she's pretty awesome!) and I gave her "Braided, or "Herringbone" nails. She nailed it. I love the look she did! Below, you will find my braided mani. It was a lot easier than I had anticipated! I used all M Polishes for this mani, and they made it a breeze! I used Hottie, Dancing in the Streets, and Iron.
Have you tried the braided technique yet? Do you like it?

Push Your Mani August: Polish You Dislike
Hello lovelies! Today's post is about the fifth Push Your Mani prompt: Polish You Dislike. I had to use two for this one, because these two are probably my least favorite colors. I did use some Twinkled T nail vinyls for this, but I LOOOOVE the vinyls! I need to use them more! :-)
Anywho, here we have Sinful Colors Vacation Time and Revlon Bare Bones.
Do you have a "least favorite" polish? Or one that just doesn't float your boat? (You don't have to name drop...haha!)

Push Your Mani August: Nautical
Hey everyone! The fourth prompt for Push Your Mani this month was "Nautical". I was totally excited about this one because I had this great idea in my head. It turned out pretty close to what I had imagined, I'm calling it a win!
So, without further adieu....here are my Nautical Nails!
For this mani, I used Laquerlicious (now Polish'M) Distant Shores for the base, and I stamped waves using M Polish Starflower and Snowberry. The anchors and stars are stamped with M Polish Copper. Love, love, love!
Have you done a nautical themed mani? What did you use?

Push Your Mani August: Butterflies
Hello again! I opted for a quick and easy mani the other day because I was short on time getting out of the house. I used Envy Lacquer "Pride" topped with a single coat of "Sinful Summer, both from the Seven Sins of Summer collection. I love how fun this glitter is! It's quickly becoming one of my faves!
The third challenge for Push Your Mani for the month of august was butterflies. I opted for a more subtle, abstract take. Since I loved this base color combo so much, I decided to keep it and just add the butterfly stamps to it later on!
As previously mentioned, this is a base of Envy Lacquer "Pride" topped with "Sinful Summer", stamped with M Polish Berry Best Friend using Cici&Sisi 07. I'm soooooo excited that I got my grubby little paws on this LE polish!
What are your favorite stamping images? Do you like floral? Abstract? Geometric?
