BLING! I wanted something a little more flashy this weekend. I stopped by my dad's 60th birthday party shindig on Sat! So, I added some of these rhinestones from Nailene. I love them! However, I should have counted them before I put them on my nails. I really just wanted a…
Follow Friday Hello hope you had a nice Friday. I'm kind of being a homebody today. I don't feel that well today. So, I decided to follow up on these awards that these nice lady bloggers have given me. Some of them I have received a while ago....I'm just really really slow…
Essie: Can't Film Fest. A nice polish! One of my favorites. Very nice application. 2 coats but you can see a vnl a little.. it's not too bad. Shimmery, Iridescent, Fuchsia Pink. So So PRETTY. So, I did this real quick before I have to go to bed... so it's messy! I l…
Project: Here is some of my work from a class project. We had to design a couple of things for a business in real life. EvilShades Cosmetics, aka EvilAngel owner of Black nails and lip gloss was kind enough to be my guinea pig. So, this is what I was busy making for a couple of …

Essie: Turquoise & Caicos Nice application. 2 coats. Creamy. Minty... I love it! You, lady, are one of my favorite 'non- pink' shades!
Zoya Jolene: She is an amazing pink. Hot pinkish, shiny, 2 coats of yummy pink goodness! I love Zoya polishes. They are so yummy! I feel like my nail beds make this color a slightly deeper pink though. But the color still pops! I love this polish. I put my Zoya top coat on it as w…
Color Club: Bizerk Turq! I love this name.. it reminds me of the city of Berkeley, CA.. A little nickname we call Berkeley is Bizerkeley. There is always something 'crazy' going down in Berkeley. Where the 'crazy' people...or not the 'norms' hang out. I lo…
Milani Pink Hottie! another neon...! This is what I put on yesterday at my lunch time. Why are you so hard to play with...! 1. You are pretty sheer . 2. You don't dry. Look at my thumb...! This happened hours after I did my mani when I was changing clothes--the zippe…
