I Joined a Group....

....but I didn't participate in the theme this week. The theme was any unstamped mani. My nails from Friday are still going strong and I have been no where for anyone to admire them yet (HA!) so I'm keeping it on for another day or two. Hopefully I'm up for the challenge next Sunday! 

I did paint my toenails, but I can't say I love it. But I'll share anyway. I don't like French tips on my toes but they look gorge on other people's. What can ya do?

Also, I added a GOTTA HAVE IT! tab at the top, I've been admiring so many swatches on everyone's blogs lately, so I guess it's time to start a wishlist so I can keep track! The list is pretty short for right now.

I'll leave you with a picture of my little Riley.

Nude with Neon!

The China Glaze Diva Bride is probably my new favorite nude. It's not too pink, not too white, not too peachy. 


So here's what I did yesterday:

 I used China Glaze Neon colors (with a cameo by this Sinful Colors neon) and striped them with tape. I got a little frustrated because they took so long to dry, so the tape seriously smudged them and in places, ripped part of the polish off. I had to touch up all the stripes by hand and they looked awful. I put a coat of Sally Hanson Disco Ball over them, and it improved the appearance immensely.

 I had a lunch interview with a recruiter so I wanted simple, with a subtle kick. 

 

 Not my favorite on my toes because I got a little sloppy with the stripes. My feet are in desparate need of some TLC, they are SO DRY.

Since my lunch interview was a success, and the restaurant was near the mall, well....OF COURSE, I had to sneak into Sephora. They have tons of products influenced by Pantone's Color of the Year, which is a gorgeous orangey-red. I got some great goodies which I will share tomorrow. :)

Thanks for reading!

Hello and Welcome!

Hello all! 

My name is Erin and this is going to be my little blog about my beauty escapades.

Recently I have been becoming more and more interested in nail art/nail design.  I already have a nail polish obsession and most of the supplies I need, so its time to cultivate it! Instead of clogging my Facebook page with pictures of my nails, this will be my outlet. I don't expect to get many readers or followers, but this will be my little space for documenting all of my attempts, and also any cool products or tips/tricks I learn.


 From reading other nail blogs, I've noticed that most of the lovely ladies do their nails daily. It takes me so long to do a decent mani, that I will probably only have one or two a week to share. I attend grad school at night and work full time, so trying to achieve the perfect mani sometimes takes a back seat to a 70 page group project. :) 


To begin, here's a picture of my sweet girl, Riley. Expect to see lots of her on here, she is my 'baby Boxer.' Notice her nails are festive green for St. Patrick's Day celebrating! Doesn't she look so excited!

Today I have plans to work on a new manicure, I just bought some new polishes at Sally's yesterday so I have been excited to try them out. I will also be on Spring Break this week so I will have lots of time to experiment!
