IM BACK! + Fruit Fimo Mani

yay! im back! its almost been 3 weeks...wow!

i posted a blog post last week or something & then all of a sudden, it disappeared! totally weird! so i'll just recap last weeks post right now;

since my computer broke [3 weeks ago] - - i have been slacking on nail art & all. honestly, it got so bad that when i went to repaint my nails one night, my hands were super shaky & unsteady. and i was just trying to paint my nails, no fancy nail art! it was quite sad =/ i also mentioned in my last post that disappeared that i havent been up to date with blogs. i started slacking & i wasnt reading blogs much. sorry! but i will say that i've been digging through old posts..trying to catch up! theres a lot that a girl misses in 3 weeks, ya know!? haha im trying though =P so now that im slowly trying to catch up, i'll be commenting your blogs again!

while i was out, i did manage to pick up a few polishes. here's my hauls:


in my last post [the one from the 12th of July], i mentioned that i picked up OPI's Rumples Wiggin, Who The Shrek Are You?, & Heart Throb.


OPI's You Don't Know Jacques! Suede & My Private Jet. i also picked up my first three Color Club polishes; Angels N' Pink, Take Me To Your Chateau, & Revvvolution.


Orly's Glam, China Glaze's Yellow Polka Dot Bikini & VII, and Essie's Red Nouveau & Van D'Go.


Pure Ice's Free Spirit, Nicole's Imagine If..., Savvy Femme Couture's Magic Pumpkin & Fairy Twinkle.


Revlon's Silver, a Meijer's Mood Struck polish, & Confetti's Pink Confetti & First Kiss.

i also got a bunch of nail stickers, a glitter thingy from Meijer's, and my package from Viva La Nails finally came in.

since i have much to share with you, i dont wanna throw them all into this post so i'll just post my current mani & then i'll catch you up with everything later on.


sorry for the bad, blurry picture. its too hot outside & im kinda crabby so the heat wasnt making me feel better. haha but here's 3 coats of Wet n Wild's Tropicalia; i've had this polish for almost 2 months so i decided to finally try it out. its such a gorgeous pink-salmon color! for the stripes on my ring finger & thumb, i used two coats of my favorite Sally Hansen White On and then i used acrylic paint to make my colorful stripes. i used my fruit fimo & layered them on my nails. i added a few rhinestones & glitters onto my nails. the green rhinestones & [barely noticable] pink glitter are from my Viva La Nails package. [a review will be coming along soon..]


here's a picture from my phones camera. the pink looks a little darker but you can see the details on my fruit nails better. dude, my phones camera is pretty awesome! it takes great pictures--i think it takes better than my regular camera does. haha

uhm, i think this is it for now. thanks for sticking it out with me. i really did miss you all :)

hope you have been well!,

oh, p.s. i wanna order myself some Konad stuff soon. whats a good site to order from? i've read about a few but i wanna know your opinions too :) thanks!

    freshie, thank you :D my lines [luckily] just look straight...theyre really not. haha but i overlapped the colors a little bit so i had room to adjust the width of each line if i needed to..did that make sense? sorry. haha and thanks for the advice ;)

  6. Welcome back! I missed reading your posts :( Love the fimo slices, I have some but I haven't gotten a chance to use it. Did you just put them on over your nail polish as it was drying? I also love the color! Hopefully Rite Aid or Walgreens has it when I'm going to stop there in a little while. I haven't hauled much :( I love your haul though. Tell me if you like Take Me to Your Chateau, it's one of my favorites since it's a one coater but I used 2 just in case. (Too bad I only have 2 color clubs to say that it's my favorite haha)

    But anyways welcome backkkkkkkkkkk :)♥

    I demand a rumple wiggin swatch!!! okay..not demand. ..if you have the time can you do a swatch of rumple wiggin? I've got the same skin tone as you so it helps me when you do swatches...

    btw much did you get the opis for?


    I think for nail plates it's either wowsocool or ocnailart. Both good customer service. shipping free after $20. I only buy from wowsocool because when I don't spend $20 I have to pay for shipping and their shipping is cheaper. If I spend $20+ then either one is good. the prices are the same also $6.99 for the nail plate.

  20. Hi!
    From Wow so cool, they send me an e-mail saying that it would take about 2 weeks to arrive to Spain, but it only took one week. But I've heard about people that one order arrived in 5 days, then they ordered more things and it took 2 weeks.
    Hope I've solved your doubts (^_^)
