Pure Ice: Five Shades of Grey

I may be the only one who has not heard of the novel Fifty Shades of Grey. It was not until seeing a press release from Pure Ice offering us their five shades of grey that I looked it up. Since I prefer for my blog to be nail polish related, I will leave the topic of the book for another day and instead show you the five shades of gray from Pure Ice...

Beware
A densely packed silver glitter in a clear base. It has almost full nail coverage in three coats and any missed spots are hardly seen with all that sparkle. The photos don't accurately convey just how shiny and glittery this really is. A gorgeous polish that can be worn either alone or used in small doses for nail art. This is three coats with a top coat, originally swatched here...

Spoiled - Are Mermaids Real Stamped

About a month ago I won a giveaway from DaschiaBeautyShop's Facebook page. The prize included a Big SdP-O plate, an XL big stamper and two plastic scrapers. I'm so excited about the prize and have been dreaming up manicures to create while wishing for more time to play with them. This is the first (sort of) manicure that I created with the plate...

Sunday Stamping: Goth with Zoya Dovima

It is hard to believe that today is once again time for the Sunday Stamping challenge in the group Adventures in Stamping. This week the challenge is a goth manicure in honor of a fellow group member. I really couldn't pass up the chance to do something outside of my comfort zone and I quite like the result. Hope I'm not insulting anyone :)

Guest Post on Refined and Polished

Today I'm so excited to be guest posting on Refined and Polished! I may not be refined, but I'm certainly polished, so head on over to Refined and Polished to check out the details on this jelly glitter sandwich :)

Thanks for looking!

Layering Experiment: Sally Hansen Resolution with Sinful Colors Cinderella

Often when I am trying to find the right color for a manicure, I layer potential candidates over an existing manicure just to see the color. It is not often that I find a combination that I choose to wear as a full manicure. Such was the case when I was trying to find a color to match my dress last week. I ended up using a different green for my emerald manicure, but thought I would show you this pretty combo today.

Anyone else find this cute/funny?

I just thought this was too funny not to buy and share with you. I was a Big Lots a few days ago and they had a ton of Revlon Polishes in stock... something strange though. Anyone else catch it? A whole bunch of the bottles in the packages have Rite Aid price and yellow clearance stickers on them... Good to know they didn't even care enough to remove them ;)

Sunday Stamping with Glitter for Father's Day

I'm pretty sure there are not too many (any?) fathers regularly reading this blog, but since it is Father's Day in the US, I would like to say Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dad's out there!

In addition to being Father's Day, it is also Sunday Stamping in Adventures in Stamping with the challenge today being a stamped manicure with glitter. I wanted to create something that both fit the challenge as well as Father's Day. Picking out the glitter polish took more thought than usual since we all know that most dads love anything nothing with glitter...
