Spoiled The Parking Meteor Expired

I really liked this polish in the bottle. But, it just didn't translate to my nails.
 The Parking Meteor Expired is really pretty in the bottle. See the blues, greens, and purples. Yeah, I wanted my nails to look like that. But they didn't. I'm thinking I may as well use this as a backup black.
 

 
 
 
 

Playing with polish photos.

I did this in an app called ArtStudio for iPad. Now I want to print and frame it.

Revlon Royal and sequins accent

I had seen Royal at my local CVS for a while and finally talked myself into getting it. I love this blue. Next time I will add another coat of polish because I don't usually like having the visible nail line showing.

The story behind these sequins is that my mother was wearing a cute shirt with these all over it. Every time she moved more would fall off. So, I started picking a few up from the chair. She asked me, "Are you going to put them on your nails?" I said "Yes!" We laughed because she knows me so well.

Polish-Free Nails

I thought I would show you all how my nails look without polish. After only a few months, I can definitely say that moisturizer goes a long way in helping your cuticles and nails to look a lot better and a lot healthier.

Thanksgiving Mani

I wanted to do some kind of Thanksgiving mani at the last minute, but didn't want it to be too complicated. So, I used Revlon Spice It Up and topped it with a red/orange glitter I mixed up. I also used my new bottle of Out The Door that I picked up from CVS yesterday.
 






 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

CVS and Walgreens Trip

Top L to R: Out The Door Topcoat, Revlon Royal, Revlon Spice It Up, Spoiled Mind Your Own Beeswax.
Bottom L to R: Spoiled Shuffle the Deck, Spoiled The Parking Meteor Expired, Wet'nWild Sunny Side Up, Sinful Colors Slate.

Orly Frisky

Pic heavy because I love this color. Frisky is a robin's egg blue with a hint of mint green. I did two coats, but could have gotten away with one if I was careful. Also, Frisky self-leveled really well.

Shany Stamping

I used my new Shany stamping plates for this mani. The stamp was a full-nail stamp, but it didn't cover my whole nail. It was wide enough just not long enough. The stamps themselves are pretty good quality and work really well.
This is Orly Frisky stamped with Ulta Ultra Violet Femme.

Shany Stamping Plates

My hubby ordered these for me. They are the Shany plates listed on Amazon and come with 25 plates in the set.
I have played around with a few of the stamps. They seem to work well. My only problem is that some of the full nail designs don't cover my whole nail. The designs are wide enough, but not long enough.

Today's polish haul.

Ulta haul:
$49.90 for everything after sales (free items), coupon, etc. Regularly almost $100!
Ulta polish (round): Eye Popping Poppy and OH!
Ulta polish (square): Plum Street, Purplexed, and Hide and Go Sequins.
Orly polish: OUI, Frisky, and Royal Navy.
I also got Ulta foundation and powder, two masks, and a grape seed peel off mask.

I received the round Ulta polish for free for purchasing the foundation and powder. (Buy two Ulta items get 2 free.) I also got one of the Orly polishes for free because of a b2g1 free deal. The two masks and three square Ulta polishes were up front in a 5 for $5.00 set up.
(Ignore the 2-year-old's hand above & fluffy kitty bum below...=^..^= )
 
Klean Color from the monthly sale market:
Hardener, Melon Green, and Green Grass. Also, Nabi Crackle Hot Orange. There's an awesome guy that sells all kind of goodies in his booth. My mother and I always buy multiple polishes from him. He says that he makes sure to have the polish set out for us because he knows we will be there to buy more. So, this time I only purchased the hardener and Green Grass. When I was paying, he told both my mother and I to go pick out another for free! I looked at him like he was crazy and asked if he was serious. He was. So, I picked out the Nabi and she got the Melon Green which she have to me, so I ended up only paying $2.00 for 4 polishes. :)
