Hauls & Polish Hunting with Rachel

hi!

so i spent my Tuesday morning & early-afternoon on a polish hunt with Rachel of Rachel's Marie's Nails :) we stopped by 3 different stores, bought lots of polishes, chatted about ourselves & polishes [of course!], and got bubble teas to drink. :)

here's my haul from Tuesday;

omg. i went a LITTLE bit overboard, right?! haha sorry for a sucky picture. i edited this picture for tumblr & i went a little wonky with the editing. haha T______T

from l-r: CND Asphalt, China Glaze Virtual Violet, Zoya Roxy, [at the top] Essie Mesmerized & Topless & Barefoot, OPI Russian Navy Suede & Black Shatter, [at the bottom] China Glaze Custom Kicks, Fly, Laced Up, Oh How Street It Is, Techno Teal, CND Toughen Up basecoat, Silver Sparkling, Gold Sparkling, & China Glaze Sea Spray. not to mention, i got a Nail Tek glass file.

oh, and thats not it. Rachel even gave me a little present! how sweet right?! :)

Lemony Flutter cuticle creme, Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Diamond & Purple Diamond, Revlon Banana Blaze, & Cover Girl's Nail Slicks in Mystic Peacock.

*sigh. Tuesday was so fun. :)

now here's my haul from last week...

OPI Yogo-Ta Get This Blue! & I Vant To Be A-Lone Star, Studio M Vintage Couture & Tru Passion, Orly Country Club Khaki, Essie California Coral, & Milani Totally Cool.

and finally, here's my haul from Saturday..

the new Sinful Colors polishes!! :)

Some Random Manis

hi!~ i havent had a mani post in a while. i've lacked lots & lots & lots of inspiration lately so i've been doing nothing but simple/boring stuff.


i forget what pinks i used here. but i HATED this mani so much, i took it off the day after i finished it.


black matte + shiny leopard print + rhinestones & pearls. i liked this one. too bad it didnt last a full day at work :X


i think this is 4 coats of China Glaze's White Cap; 3 would have been fine but i went with 4 anyway. let me just say.. i LOVE White Cap!!~ these pictures dont do any justice.

yea, i think im done here. :P hope you're enjoying your weekend! its snowing like CRAZYYY here in Michigan...looks like i'll be home for the rest of today :P

have a good one!,
