Hey sweeters!!
I am SORRY that I am posting a holiday mani the day before a holiday.
I generally like to post these things far in advance for you to do them if you want or have ideas for your holiday events. I'm slack city on this one, though!
But hey - last minute mani for work or school if you don't like wearing green!

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 13 - Hearts

Ok - so don't laugh.
I have a new watermark on these photos because I am going to be redoing my blog layout. Its actually been ready to go for awhile now but I didn't want to spring it so soon after the last one. When I designed this current layout it had all of the ingredients of my personality but I cooked it wrong and added a little too much. Sometimes I get carried away, and after living with it for only a few weeks, I was so over it and the original simplicity I was going for in 2014. So in the next week or two I will be transitioning to a new layout I think you will really love. At some point when I do that I will be pulling the blog offline for an hour or two while I change it. Anyway - just thought I'd get that out there!

Merry & Bright - Incoco Winter/Holiday 2013 Review and Swatches

Today I have a great grouping of Incoco Nail Appliques to share with you from their newest offering for Holiday 2013 - Merry & Bright.

I toyed with my camera setup recently and I'm sad to say it was pretty unsuccesful. When I took these pictures I thought they were gonna turn out great, but instead my hands seemed weirdly posed and the lighting was wicked terrible. I was able to color correct pretty ok to get everything looking as it should, but I'm really sorry if these seem different than my normal images - I have a slew of manis that will be like this through next week, but then it's back to the tried and true! It is true what they say - if it aint broke, don't fix it!

The Digit-al Dozen DOES Black & White - Day 5 - Abstract Snowflakes

Hey hey ya'll!
It's Friday!
I've spent my short time awake today dealing with website junk. My friend Vic messaged me to tell me my site wasn't loading without the www so I went to investigate and come to find out, somehow when I transferred my services over 4 months ago, they somehow reverted back in the last few days to the older host. Pain in the butt, but 15 minutes or so with live chat got it (hopefully) all squared away and fixed. If you are having any problems reaching the site past today, please let me know! Anyway - let's enjoy Friday with our final Digit-al Dozen Black and White mani - I think you might like this one....it's one of my favorites of the week!

I am trying to be on the ball this time and post up some seasonal polishes I have purchased BEFORE the actual holiday. I know it's crazy.

I have so many untrieds that I can fawn all over polishes and buy them and then they rot in untried hell for months, possibly years.

So today I'm bringing you 4 Halloween polishes I recently picked up!

So...I'm late. But still...
Last week we had a Mexico prompt for the 33DC but I was struggling and having a crap day, so I threw mine out. Over the weekend I decided to re-do it and try to keep moving forward. Its pretty generic, but I love the Day of the Dead so I HAD to.

It may not quite be October yet, but around here Halloween is almost every day.

I missed a lot of the Halloween fun last year during my "hiatus", so I am pumped to do double time this year.

Yesterday I showed you the amazing new fall collection from Chirality, Nails From the Crypt - and today I am showing you two of its polishes with some "art"
