A Classic White French Tip

I forgot to post these pictures. I was wearing this classic white french tip for a week. Can you believe that? But it was kinda nice to go back to one of my favorite looks in such a crazy week.

I did the french tip  free hand and I can tell you it was such a mess but after the clean up everything looked good. Impressively the right hand looked way better than the left (the one on the pic). I should have takne a picture to brag myself lololo

So what about you? Do you like the classic or the bold?

Monday Mani PaA - Fierce Accent

Phewww!

I know right? Busy past weeks with my trip, a baby shower I pulled off and then Thanksgiving and all. I thought of having automatic posts for you guys but I just did not have time whatsoever for it. No kidding! next time I'll try to plan on staying more active and not let my blog out to the flies.

But overall I had a blast in Arizona visiting my sister, my in-laws, a baby shower, visiting friends, eating at my favorite places, surprising my sista with a totally unexpected baby shower - it was sooo fun. I also got to meet the lovely Sarah Johnson, my polish friend that I met online in one of the groups I'm part of awhile ago. She is also in the Lacquered Me 11 Packages Birthday Club. It was sooo fun cause she got to give my package in person ( I'll let you guys know how the club is going in another post). It was so great to get to meet her in person and chat about polish and also what we enjoy besides polish. I just love meeting people in real life. It's like " they are real". Duhhh , I know. But I'm dork like that. Hey Sarah, I'm so glad we got to meet during my trip.

Anyways, I have been neglecting the Monday Manis really bad. I promise I'll fill up the past 2 Mondays I didn't do. For this Monday they came up with Fierce Accent. I pulled my stamping plate M64 for the accent. But oh man, I love that plate. I like all the designs on that plate and the one chose is definitely my favorite.

This is my take on the fierce accent challenge. I was going to do just the finger nail cause when I hear " accent nail" that's what comes to my mind. However I find  this mani to be very fierce and super elegant. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the base burgundy color by itself. Totally forgot. But that is RIMMEL Burgundy Flirt. I'll do a swatch later and come back posting here for you. It's such a pretty cream bloody red.

Monday Mani PaA - Green for Depression Awareness Month - updated

Green for Depression Awareness is the theme for today's Monday Mani. I decided to start the mani without really thinking what I was going to do and I think it came out cute. As far as the them I didn't know October was the month to host so many health issues awareness. That's great that I got to learn this through polish. Depression has been a big public health issue lately that if we haven't experienced that ourselves I bet you know somebody that is or have been dealing with it. So, let's light up the green color for awareness of depression. If you wanna read more about it click HERE.

Oh and if you are wondering what polish I used... this is RIMMEL - Rags to Riches, a shimmer metalic olive green. The formula is just super good. I thought that would drag or be streaky but nope, just great. Plus I love RIMMEL brushes. They make application so much easier. Then I did some green dots over gold dots. I'm not an expert at dotting but let's pratice right?

Drop me a line in the comment box and let me know your opnion on this mani.

Have a wonderful Monday you all!!!!

UPDATE: A follower posted these questions on the comment box. If those are your questions too here are the answers.

* Why green?

The ribbon for Depression Awareness is green.

* Why the dots?

Nothing to do whith the movement. Just my take on the challenge.

Monday PAA - Glitter Bomb

For this Monday Mani from PAA FB group I honestly didnt' know what to do with the Glitter Bomb theme. I have had quite busy days lately and I was soooo tired to do my nails. Plus on top of that, me and my love wanted to go to see Harry Potter and then I was like " Wait , wait, wait". I really enjoy movies but wasn't really into Harry Potter. I am not that type of girl that get into the waves of movie series like the vampire one with Jacob and Edward thing. I even tried the books but , no not for me. However, for some reason I felt embarrassed for knowing that this current movie is actually the 8th or 9th lololo I thought it was the 4th. I had seen the 1st and 2nd though back in the days when I was in high school merging to college. Then I decided to do the Harry Potter Marathon so I can see the current and last one. I am enjoying so far but I think I like comedy better lately. I am in a fase of my life I need some good laughter.

But anyways, back to my nails, here are a few pictures and details of my Monday Glitter Bomb. Can't wait to know what the vote is for next week. I am really enjoying this. I'm just having some problems casting my vote with them. It seems I am not the only one having trouble though.

PS: My blog was acting weird this past Sunday and Monday so I'm still posting this on the day it's supposed to go,ok? Also, I am excited to be done with the giveaway and announce the winners. I am so excited for my new followers here. Welcome welcome everyone!!

BC: Essie ( this stuff prevents me really well from getting stain on my nail from dark nail polishes). Let's see this time with having black on my nails. Can you believe this is the first time I actually paint my whole nail in black? I love blaco for tips and stamping but the whole nail ... that is my first time ever.

Wednesday Pink - Fancy Zebra

I am still going on posting lolo
Today is Wednesday and pink it is!

I attemped on doing a weird comnation for me that this came out not really good. First a white base coat. I don't have a good white to paint my nails. On top of that I don't like to paint the whole nail with white cause I have never found a good formula. What's your favorite white nail polish ?

Continuing on my mess ... oh boy it took me forever to finish this mani. I decided to stamp the zebra print and then do the pink tips. Oh boy, that wasn't easy and I am not please with this at all. Then wehn i was done and went applying the top coat, SV brush came  on dragging the black over the nails. Look closer and you will see. A mess! I just had to post this cause I had nothing else to post here on my Wednesday Pink other then that.

Next week I'll to play safe lolo

RIMMEL - a dark purple

I absolutely love this dark purple eggplant color from RIMMEL. It's such a great opaque color. I know it's summer, it's been quite hot and that asks for bright fun colors but that purple was calling me. I had to try it. This bottle was one of the free ones I got ( yeah I have been telling you guys on my last posts. I actually got several bottles of them paying just for tax). Sweet , I know! And again, the formula is great. It just glides nicely on your nails along with it's brush. On the first picture you can see that it looks sparly on my thumb nail but that actually came from a residue left on my Seche Vite brush from the last time I used it. It looks cute though huh/ I might try some stuff like that next time.

Sunset Orange

This is one of the RIMMELs I got it for free with a coupon I told you here. I already had some corals but for free I would get another one right? Plus I really like RIMMEL's brushes. The pictures don't do justice to the real color. The I took a picture of the polish bottle so you can have an idea how coral this is and not red like it looks on the images below. I keep on my stamping and for this mani I used all the designs from one plate.

RIMMEL all the way

I've seen some girls doing the PINK WEDNESDAY where they wear pink polish on those days. I am not sure if I will commit to that but it happened to me to wear pink today. So, will see next week.

But, anyways, here is me wearing another RIMMEL I got with the coupon I told you on my past post. Stamping is coming along and me and the stamper are becoming best friends. The images are coming off of the plate and from the stamper to my nails pretty easy and I love that. I can't stop looking at my nails. That's the bad thing about stamping specially when you think you are getting good at it. No matter how pretty your mani turned out it won't last long cause you want to try another combination of colors and designs. That's bad lololo If you play with stamping, are you like that? I fight with myself to forget my nails for at least 3 days or if I have an accident and the polish chips that's such a good excuse to myself to change polish. lololo

Rimmel

Last week RIMMEL cosmetics was giving a $2 off coupon on their FB page. I am a big coupon girl too and got the coupon before it would be gone.I didn't really know what I was going to buy or if I was even going to use the coupon but oh well, doesn't hurt to just print it right?  Then I went a Walgreens close to my house and spotted the RIMMEL nail polishes that were on clearance for $2. Do you know what that meant? That I could use my c$2 off coupon and score the polish for FREE jsut having to pay tax. Sweet!!! I had 6 of those coupons cause you could print 2 coupons per computer and I used all the help from the computers around me. Ok, so done with my polish score story, here are few pictures of one of the polishes I got.

What I have here is RIMMEL English Rose. It's an opaque rose soil color kind of thing. It reminds me of the color of the mountains in Sedona,AZ.

I took pics in differents lights and positions so you guys can have an idea how the color looks like. I'll soon do some swatches with the other colors I got.

A shimmer brown

There are some nail polishes that don't look good on pictures or even close ups. That is one of them. i love the color much better in person. It's such a subtle and chique color than it appears in pictures. Do you still like it though?
