Hi Everyone!!
I am slowly continuing to make my way through folders of unposted nail art. It is kind of fun to go back and remember those manicures. It has also been inspiring me to keep playing around and making more nail art. I debated splitting this post into a few different ones, but eventually decided it would be better as one. All three of the manicures that I will show today use nail vinyls from Whats Up Nails and the pastel shades from Dazzle Dry Sweethearts collection whose swatches I posted a couple of days ago.
Chevrons!
First up is a manicure created using chevron nail vinyls...

Dazzle Dry Sweethearts
Hi Everyone!
Today I have swatches to share with you which are long, long, looong overdue. This beautiful pastel Dazzle Dry Sweethearts collection released for Spring 2015. I managed to get it swatched before my unexpected haitus, but I'm shamefully just now going through photos from that time. I do hope that you won't hold it against me to much and enjoy the swtaches instead ;)

Review and Swatches of Select Glam Polish Cast A Spell Part 3: The White Witch Collection Shades
Hi Everyone! Remember me? It has been nearly two months since I last sat down to write a post. First, let me start out by apologizing for my sudden disappearance. Someone very close to me passed away leaving me feeling empty and wanting to spend time surrounded by family and friends. Something as simple as cuddling on the couch with my bf to watch TV suddenly became a bigger priority than making one more swatch or writing one more post. I realized just how much time I had been sacrificing for this hobby instead of making time for people in my life. I couldn't even bring myself to go into my polish room and simply paint my nails. They were 'naked' for more than a month and believe it or not, that somehow feels like an accomplishment. Each day I kept telling myself that tomorrow I would get back to swatching/blogging, but the days came and went and my nails remained bare. I finally started going back into the polish room a few weeks ago, first to file/reshape and recondition by then broken and dry nails. Then I would go in, look at some gorgeous polish and walk out. The next day I went just to look through the stamping plates. Baby steps! Finally I had the guts to not only polish, but also photograph my shaky hand. Today I sit here writing this post and trying to decide if I've said too much, but hoping it will explain my disappearance. Does this mean I'm back to full time blogging? No, and I don't think I ever will be, but hopefully some blogging is better than none!
To say that this review is overdue is quite an understatement. The beautiful Glam Polish Cast a Spell Part 3: The White Witch collection launched in early March with perfect glittery pastel shades. Rachel, the mastermind behind Glam Polish, has been incredibly understanding about the delay although my feeling of guilt remain. Hopefully you will also forgive the delay and enjoy these swatches as much as I've been enjoying wearing these lacquers and making them my foray back into the world of polish...

OPI Muppets Most Wanted Collection Swatches and Review...
Hi Everyone! Today I have for you my swatches and review of the OPI Muppets Most Wanted collection. The collection was inspired by the Disney film with the same name which released a few months ago. Although I have not seen the movie and when I think of The Muppets, I picture brighter shades than this collection contains, I have to say I love these lighter shades!

Nicole by OPI Carrie Underwood Collection Swatches and Review!
Hi Everyone! Today I'm excited to show you swatches of the complete Nicole by OPI Carrie Underwood collection. Usually I split collections up for the ease of shorter posts, but I thought I'd try keeping it all together for once. Please be aware this is a much longer than usual post and very photo heavy...
I confess that I love country music, so I was so excited for this Carrie Underwood collection. I enjoyed listening to her songs while swatching and playing with these beauties!

Sunday Stamping: Anything Goes...
I got lucky with this week's Sunday Stamping theme of no restrictuion, free for all, anything goes because I had no time to create a new mani. Instead I would like to show you one that I wore last week while swatching the Barielle Summer Fun Collection. Since it includes stamping, I will consider today's challenge as met...

Going Dotty with Winstonia...
A little bit ago I received a wheel of nail studs and pointy tweezers from Winstonia for review. Today I would like to show you both of these items. I decided to incorporate the nail studs into my stamping as I usually like to do. Of course it goes without saying that I paired the studs up with a stamping pattern from a Winstonia plate. The plates I purchased and reviewed back in March. Being very impressed with the quality, I was excited to try more Winstonia products...

Shimmer...
A little while ago Cindy, the creator of Shimmer Polish generously sent me some of her beautiful glitter bombs to play around with and show you. I have been showing them to you a little at a time along with the nail art I created, but today I would like to show you a few swatches. It should come as no surprise how much I like Shimmer Polish. Although photos never seem to do these beauties justice as they are so hard to capture in a single shot, I gave it my best effort...

BornPrettyStore Nail Studs Review
I think various rhinestone and studs can be a really fun way to accent a manicure. Incorporating them into the stamping pattern is on of my favorite ways to wear them. Today I would like to show you a manicure featuring aluminium plated nail studs from the BornPrettyStore.com...

Today I would like to show you the gorgeous Color Club Halo Hues collection that I have been swatching and wearing for the past few weeks. These are the Spring 2013 release. They are deeper and brighter shades than the 2012 release (which I have yet to swatch). Two of these lovelies were sent to me for review, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to live without the rest, so here they all are...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
To those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving today, I want to wish you a very happy one! I am thankful to have the day off from work and to spend it with my family. I'm thankful for my family and friends who are always there for me, to support and encourage me or knock some sense into me when I need it. I will try to refrain from making this a sappy post of all the things I'm thankful for and instead show you the manicure I'm wearing today. Yes, this is one of those rare occasions when what is on the blog is actually what is on my nails...

e.l.f. Coral Polish Set
I think I may have broken some sort of record for myself. From purchasing a set to swatching it in less than a month. I'm issuing an official apology to all my other polish sets that have been waiting for a year to be swatched. I even have another e.l.f. set from last summer still untouched that is now giving me a guilt trip. This set would have probably joined the untried box as well if it was not for the Sunday Stamping manicure a few days ago that used three out of the four of these polishes...
Sadly this e.l.f. set does not have a unique name to identify it. I'm calling it the "coral" set. My bf called it the "carrot" set...

Mother's Day and Sunday Stamping
First I would like to wish all the moms out there a very Happy Mother's Day! I wish you all a wonderful day and hope you get spoiled as you deserve! May you always 'bee' happy! :)
The manicure today had a lot of self-imposed requirements to meet. I wanted it to be Spring-like, have flowers for Mother's Day and use a stamping plate ending in 5 (the theme for today's Sunday Stamping challenge in the group Adventures in Stamping). I'm quite happy to say that all the requirements were met and I can rest easy.
