Stone Cold Payton

Today I'm showing y'all a very simple tape mani, dark and vampy for fall but still has glitz. This was done using Zoya Payton, with China Glaze Stone Cold on the accent.

Zoya Payton is a dark cranberry to plum jelly base with holographic glitter scattered throughout.  It is a truly beautiful polish, and in sunlight it really lights up!  My accent nail I taped off with striping tape and used China Glaze Stone Cold, a dark grey shimmer with a matte finish.  Finished up with a coat of Seche Vite.

Striping & Glitz

Hey y'all! Up for today is a black and white and glitter all over mix match mani :)  I was going for a dark, simple colored mani with lots of eye appeal and this definitely met expectations.  I was inspired by this post on the nail polish challenge.

First I used Finger Paints Where Art Renoir, a black polish with silver glitter, two coats for my base.  For my middle finger and the base for my ring finger I used a base of China Glaze Gossip over Gimlets then two coats of OPI In True Stefani Fashion.  On the ring finger I used double thick striping tape stripes and added FP Where Art Renoir on top.

Fifth Anniversary Nails

Today's mani is themed for my anniversary, based on our wedding tattoos.  My husband & I usually celebrate (little celebrations) both our wedding & dating anniversaries, the wedding one is today (5 years) and our dating one is in October (8 years).

Mani & tattoos = after the jump :)

Mix & Match Mani

 This was a mani I had been looking at for a while now on Pinterest.  There are actually 3 version that I pinned; a blue one, purple one, & a red one.  When I looked into the blue one I found that the girl had actually done this design in a few other schemes as well.

Happy Birthday To Me

Happy Birthday to ME! My birthday is tomorrow so today I am sharing the nails I did for this weekend.  This post was inspired by this post by BadGirlNails. 

Neutral Cheetah

Let me start by saying I am not a fan of any animal prints, never have been.  However, seeing work/play/polish's cheetah mani has completely changed my mind.  As I write this I am wearing cheetah print pajama pants. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Glitz Mani & Pink French

Hey y'all :) This is a mani I based off a picture I found on Pinterest from Chloe's Nails.

Shades of Grey Ombre

Hi y'all, this is a quick mani I did with Silver, Greys and Black.

Silver is Maybeline Silver Aluminum, Grey is Ulta Smoke Screen and China Glaze, Topped with crack (CG Fairy Dust)

Blurple Green Ombre

Yet another ombre ;) Is it obvious how ombre obsessed I am?  They are just such a simple way to do bright colors and nail art with very little time.

Navy & Pink Texture Dots

Simple texture mani for today.

Can't Let Go & Miss Conduct

Not much to say about this mani other than I love it! These colors paired really well and the difference in textures worked great :)

Dragon Eggs

Ok, if y'all haven't seen these already TRUST ME, you are missing out! These amazing little balls of awesome are based on a tutorial from Accio Lacquer and I am crazy grateful she made such a great tutorial because I am in love with making these! My 2 year old is also in love with the "Dagon Eggs" :)

Without further ado...


This one was created using Orly Fowl Play & Zoya Opal

MORE eggs after the jump!

Today I have China Glaze Seduce Me, a beautiful redish pink creme polish I grabbed at Sally's on impulse with some coupons.

Zoya Payton Swatch

This is a swatch Zoya Payton, part of the Zenith Winter Holiday 2013 Collection.

This polish is described as a "full coverage galactic cranberry polish with holographic glitter".  It has an almost-jelly finish, with a great depth and sparkle.  It immediately became one of my favorite polishes.  Two coats gave perfect full coverage.

This is OPI DS Extravagance, with China Glaze Liquid Leather sponged on the tips :)
