Hey Sister, here's my new post.

My sister said that she wanted me to write more in my blog. So here I am writing....

I have been busy with life and also have not yet put batteries in my camera, but I got a step closer by buying some. So, I don't have a lot of mani pictures for your viewing pleasure. I did, however, take a bunch of picture with my phone of new polishes, and my nail polish/make up "station." And I did take one of my mani today.

This is The Icing's Hey Sailor Boy with Jordana's Cosmic on top. Both of great blue and green glitters.
Hey Sailor boy is a blue base with small blue glitter and larger green glitter, while Cosmic is a clear base with big green, silver, and blue glitters. In this picture it looks dark almost black. but it is actually a nice cobalt blue. 


Here are my new polishes since I've been away. 




Mint Gelato is kind of sheer, so multiple coats are needed, it is kind of a robin's egg blue, maybe a little more green. It also has a delicious mint chocolate smell, even after dry. IT purple is redviolet metallic. Midnight Queen is is sheer navy base with irridescent shimmer/glitter.
Sorry this photo is blurry. Lavenbaby is one of my favorites. It is an opaque solid color,and a nice pinky purple. Holo Chrome is a sheer periwinkle base with silver holo glitters. Disco purple looks black in this picture, it is a dark purple, but not that dark. It does have some shimmer to it too. 
Moonstuck is a duo polish from Revlon, one side is a lilac color with some shimmer and the other is a light pink/purple with silver glitter.
I'm not a big gold person, I've gotten better though, I do have some gold jewelry now. (no its not Mr. T style either) Anyway I really like A Show at the Palladium as a gold color, its not gaudy. Peacock chunky, could have a better name, its a clear base with blue, purple, and green glitter hexagons.  I have it on my toes on top of IT purple. Silver star is fun. its a clear base with holo silver glitter and silver stars. I had red, white, and blue nails for the 4th with this over them. You do have to try hard to get a star out of there though and the glitter is sparse, so you need a couple of coats. 


 

Now on to where it all happens, haha

This is where I do my make in the mornings and paint my nails at night (usually). Its one of my old computer desks. It is kind of messy, but it is in the extra bedroom and there's not a lot of space. Also the other shelves on the desk, which I did not take a picture of, are full of papers, files, etc.
 Here is my stash. Its not as many as most polish bloggers have, but its a lot according to my husband. In the blue bin I have top/base coats, glitter polishes, and small bottles of polish. The clear bin is all regular polish. 
I got this cubby at Staples, it was about $16 and I don't remember how much the little bins were. I had to take these pink ones off the display. I have glitter stuff in one and cotton ball, make sponges, cotton pads in the other. I have my tools (buffer block, stamping stuff, tape, etc) in the little black drawer thing. In the stripy jar I have cotton balls. I found the little pink tray things at the dollar tree-4 for $1. I figured I would find a use for them, and I did. I have nail files in one and samples from my birchbox in the other. The polishes out are the ones I used tonight, which I mentioned earlier.


So there you have it.

Toodles,

Sheena

  1. I'm glad you finally updated. And Billy is right, that is a lot of nail polish. What is the name of the top coat you like the best and where can I buy it? I am going to do turquoise nails next. Not very adventurous for most people, but it is for me.
