Ulta Salon Formula Nail Lacquer- Envy

Hi guys, today we are putting up our tree! I'm very excited because this is the first year our son can really jump in and be a part of it all! We will put on some music, get out the decorations and have some snacks. Then when were done, probably watch a Christmas movie! I love this time of year! Whatever holiday you celebrate, family and the traditions you have make it all more special. I just hope I can make it as special for my son as my mom did for me!

Anyways today's polish is just gorgeous! I knew it was pretty in the bottle but I wasn't sure how sheer it would be. It almost covered in one coat! I did a second for extra measure, and I love it. It is such a rich teal.The one issue I have with this, is the bottle, I don't know why they changed it? Its not the shape or the brush, but the top, its stubby and fat and round and really hard to hold when applying the polish. Nonethe less, I wont let this deter me, the color is too darn pretty!

Orly- Lucky Duck

Hello! I hope you guys had a nice Thanksgiving! I had a wonderful time, we had dinner with my husbands family early then went about 2 miles down the road to my family's for some pie and coffee. The only thing that I would have changed was to take away my sons cold. He woke up feeling stuffy and sick and just wasn't himself all day. Poor little guy! But we all got to be together and had a great time.
Today to ump back into posting, I have for you another Orly Birds of a Feather polish, Lucky Duck. This is a bright jade green creme. It went on nice, covered in 2 coats and was super shiny. It flowed onto the nail with no problem, and drying time was good. In the pictures below I also used a topcoat.

Water Marble attempt!

Well folks, this blog is as much a learning process for me as it is fun. So not everything is going to be pretty! I tried a water marble once before and it was no better or worse than this, I think it is one of those things that probably get better with practice. From a distance, or if you just glance they actually turned out kinda pretty, but a closer look, (especially when you take close up pictures) reveals quite a mess! Lets have a look, shall we?

For the colors, I used: Rimmel- Navy Baby, Orly- Lucky Duck, and Sally Hansen Xtreme wear- Celeb City. I copied what the tutorials said, room temperature water, drop colors one at a time into center of each other, pull from center out to create design then dip! I used the tape method to protect my fingers and minimize clean up.I did these late at night in a dark room with the light of the television, then took the pictures first thing the following morning, and my clean up isn't what it could be, so be gentle:-) Also you will notice I got pictures of my never before seen right hand! I like the swirls on that one better, so I figured I'd show you. So that's that, next time I might try using all cremes because I think they look nicer (I'll actually do a better job of cleaning up my fingers first too)!
