Foiled Snake!

Last week Nail It! Magazine posted a nail art contest with the challenge to create a manicure inspired by their mood board. I thought I would take a stab at it. It seemed like fun and what have I got to loose, right? For the manicure I was inspired by a metallic snake/lizzard print outfit that is part of that mood bard...

Tempting Half Moons...

I had a really bad dream last night, I dreamt that I was filing my nails and I went too far. I'm talking all the way down to nubs on my index... of my swatching hand. Oh I know, the horror! I don't know how long I spent trying to figure out ways to remedy the situation with all sorts of crazy ways to fix it. I finally woke up and realized it was just bad dream. Now I sit here wondering if my subconscious is trying to tell me something. Have I lost my mind? Inhaled too many polish fumes? Have you had any crazy nail dreams?

Crazy dreams aside, I'd like to show you a manicure that I created with Glam Polish Temptation. I love the purple and gold combo (and not just because those are the colors of my alma mater), so I had to play them up with a little bit of stamping...

Glam Polish Euphoria and Temptation...

Hi Everyone! Thank you for taking the time yesterday to respond to my question! Sounds like we all just sneak away during a free moment or two throughout the day to read blogs. I must say that I do the same thing and don't have a dedicated time to explore. I am thrilled you choose to stop by here when you can and read my ramblings or just look at photos! :)

Today I would like to tempt you with two more Glam Polish shades. These are from the Opulence Series available only from the Glam Polish website and not any of their international stockists. These two beauties contain real gold leaf flakes and plenty of shimmer...

Exotic Illusions Peacock

Good Morning! Afternoon? Evening? When do you all usually take the time to read/look at blogs? Well regardless of what time of day it is, I wanted to take a moment to show you a manicure that I created with the two Glam Polish Exotic Illusions shades that I showed you a couple of days ago. The two of them reminded me of peacock feathers so I really couldn't resist and this happened...

Glam Polish Divine Cosmos and Infinite Wisdom

Hi Everyone! Today I would love to share with you my review and swatches of a couple of Glam Polish shades that are part of the Exotic Illusions Series. These two are my first introduction to the Glam Polish indie brand and I'm rather smitten. Does anyone still say smitten these days? It is the perfect word to describe how I feel about these beauties...
