Orly Elation Generation & Revlon Heavenly

*Disclaimer- Im riding in the car so I just snapped a quick pic but I'll have better pics up soon*
Hi y'all :) We are out heading to the mountains for the weekend and I went to see Jillian Micheals Maximize Your Life last night with a friend so I had to do a super quick mani this week.  I wanted something fun and glitzy so this combination is perfect!
This is one coat Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Ruby Sequin, one coat Orly Elation Generation, one coat Revlon Heavenly and one coat Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Topcoat.
  I could have skipped the Ruby Sequin and just used Elation Generation but its a jelly polish and I didn't have time for multiple layers.

 

5k Walk Multiple Sclerosis Mani

Today I'm sharing a mani I did for another charity/fundraising walk this weekend.  This 5k walk is benefiting the Multiple Sclerosis Society, to help raise money for researching a cure.  If you would like to donate towards our team, you can do that here.

The orange nails are two coats of Zoya Sharon, topped with one coat Zoya Sienna.  The white fingers are two coats China Glaze White on White, the orange is Ulta Sun of a Gun, black is CG Liquid Leather, & green is Sally Hansen Grass Slipper topped with Milani Hi-Tech.  All nails have one coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri.

China Glaze Ombre Kit- Cure for the Colors

Hi y'all :)

Today I have a mani I did for the Cure for the Colors 5.26 mile walk I participated in this  past weekend.  I walked with a team and was there mostly in memory of my Papa, who passed away in 2008 from pancreatic cancer, about 6 months after he was diagnosed. Purple is the color for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness & Lavender is the color for General Cancer Awareness.

 I had a great time doing this walk, with a great group of friends and look forward to doing many more.  I'm working on getting back in shape and participating in community events like this is great motivation for me.  As a matter of fact, I am doing a 5k MS Walk this upcoming weekend and a 5k Glow Walk/Run in May.

This was done with the China Glaze Grape Expectations Ombre Kit, topped with CG Fairy Dust.  Accent nail is Pure Ice Silver Mercedes, Glitzology Diamonds & Pearls, and the ribbon is CG Spontaneous.  All nails have one coat SH Insta-Dri.

Julie G Gumdrop Textures

Today I have half of the Jesse Girl Julie G Gumdrop collection for y'all :) There are 6 polishes total in this collection, today I used the 3 warm shimmer texture shades.  

The 3 warm shades are closest to the texture of the Zoya Pixiedust polishes, with the texture being a smoother shimmery glitter in the same shade as the base color.  The 3 cool shades have a texture closer to the OPI Liquid sands, with a silver, chunkier glitter texture.

I want to mention real quick the amazing customer service experience I had with this company.  I ordered during the pre-order sale, and was unclear on the shipping time frame.  When I hadn't received the set, I contacted Jesse's Girl customer service and it turns out that my order was marked as shipped but never sent out.  Cathy in customer service apologized and sent out a person set to me and had it in my mailbox in one day.  How is that for above & beyond customer service?!

This is Julie G Hot Cinnamon (Red), Sugar Rush (Coral-ish) & Tangerine Dream (Orange).  I used striping tape to make the diagonal stripes on my accent.  This is two coats of each color, no top coat.  If I had to pick a favorite out of this collection, it's Sugar Rush!  I have been staring at this color all night :)

Above the Curve Risen Angel

Hi y'all :)  My weekly nails are getting posted a little late this week due to serious nail block. Couldn't pick a color, theme, or design to save my life.

I finally decided on Above the Curve Risen Angel and I am so happy I did!  This color is beyond gorgeous, although mine seems to be more purple than the swatches I've seen.

This is my first linear holographic so I don't know the standard on formula, but the formula on this was great.  It went on smooth with no streaking, but I noticed it started to get a bit goopy if I went back over a spot.  I think that may be more of a holo thing though.


This is two coats ATC Risen Angel,   & the accent nail is two coats China Glaze Grape Pop, with Risen Angel polka dots. All nails have one coat Sally Hansen Insta-dri Topcoat.
