<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now that I am back, I wanted to continue being apart of the two facebook groups I was in before, which were <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/aistamping/" target="_blank">Adventures In Stamping</a> and Teal Tuesdays. So the challenge for this Sunday of course is New Years. I decided to use 2 coats of Color Club Cadillac Red for my base I chose red because one of my coworkers had told me red is supposed to be good luck. I've heard this before but it was for Chinese New Year, so I'm hoping it will still bring my good luck for our New Year. I then added a coat of China Glaze Golden Enchantment which is a beautiful golden glitter but when you look at it up close you can see the many colors it has in it. I added a top coat layer of Seche Vite then stamped using Konad Special Nail Polish White. For my thumb I used Cheeky plate CH9 a fun and festive champagne bottle with champagne flutes around it and for my ring finger I used Bundle Monster plate BM02 for the big lips and Cheeky plate CH27 for the small lips and kiss, they are supposed to represent the midnight kiss. I hope everyone has a fun and safe New Years!!!</span><br />

It's been sooo long. Well so much has happened since I last posted, I went on vacation and saw my bestfriend in Cali. My son loved Disneyland and surpisingly so did my boyfriend. I will always love Disneyland at any age, it was also my first time to California Adventure because the last time I went to Disneyland, Cali Adventure had yet to be built. Anyways, after the vacation I ended up in the ER twice and found out that my ovarian cyst had grown triple the size and that I also had another cyst in my other ovary which was very small, so I had the surgery done to remove them. Thankfully my OBGYN didn't have to remove my whole ovary she was able to preserve most of my right overy and all of my left. After that I didn't feel like doing my nails much, I was always at work or at home too tired to do much. Then Christmas came and my bestfriend was in town and she persuaded me to do my nails and now I'm hooked again. Thanks Leece for giving me that small push I needed. Anyways I know Christmas has already passed but I thought I would show you my nails I did. This is 2 coats of Sinful Colors Nirvana for my base and 1 coat of China Glaze Fast Track. I then stamped with Konad Special Nail Polish White. For my thumb I used Bundle Moster plate BM-222 and for my Ring finger I used Red Angel plate RA-121. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and enjoy the New Year ahead!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi all, sorry I've been MIA for awhile but I've been working my ass off at work doing a whole bunch of overtime so I can have enough spending cash for my vacation which I should add starts today. YAY VACAY TIME!!! So in honor of my vacation I absolutely had to paint my nails. Most women have a simple black dress well this is my version of my simple black tips. For this mani I taped off my tips and used Sinful Colors Black on Black, I then added my favorite tope coat Seche Vite. For my accent nails I used a Read Angel stamping plate sorry folks I don't remember which one and used Konad Special White. I added a Light Blue Rhinestone and there you have it my Simple Black Tips. I'm hoping to start blogging everday again once I get back from vacation. And if any of you are interested we are taking a family road trip down to Cali and stopping in San Jose to visit family, Gilroy Garden Theme Park, Glendale to stay with my best friend Lisa, Then to LA to go to Disneyland & California Adventure, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Carlsbad to go to Legoland, Bakerfield & Delano to visit more family. Yes we are going to pack that all in 1 week, crazy I know. Have a fantastic weekend readers!!</span></div>

<br />This is going to be a quick post before I get myself and my son ready for bed. I used 1coat of China Glaze Custom Kicks for my base, 1 coat of Pure Ice Oh Baby! over the base, then stamped with Konad Special White using Cheeky image plate CH11 and used my dotting tool along with Sally Hansen Jumpin' Jade, and to top it all off a coat of SV. </div>

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We had a wonderful Father's Day yesterday. For the first half we hung out at my parents house, ate lunch, ran around outside with my dog, and even went to the park with my brother, sister in law and nephew Kristian. We then had a family BBQ for Allan's side of the family at our apartment and everyone had a good time singing and eating. For Father's Day Allan received money for his tattoo session he had on Saturday and I must say it is coming along great, he has maybe two or three more sessions to go until he has his tribal half sleeve finished. For this mani I was just playing around and wanted to do a glitter gradient. I used Color Club Coral Cascade and sponged on NYX Gold Glitter. Topped with SV.<br />

I honestly for the life of me couldn't figure out what I wanted to do for the challenge day. So I tried out different combos and finally had my heart set on this color combo and pattern. I used 1 coat of Borghese Marino, then stamped over with China Glaze GR8 and Bundle Monster image plate BM-214.<br />

My absolute favorite flower are Stargazer Lillies. In fact my birth month flower (May) are Lillies. I saw this tutorial from <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/2011/09/31-day-challenge-day-14-flowers.html">Chalkboard Nails</a> and just knew I had to do it. The base is China Glaze White on White, the pink is sponged on Sinful Colors Boom Boom (don't you just love the name?), the dark pink dots are Petites Pink Crush using a dotting tool and the green is Sally Hansen Ivy League.<br />

<br />And I'm back...sorry folks for the absence but I have been trying to nurse my broken nails these last few days and I am happy to report they are finally almost all the same length, yay! Unfortunately I wasn't able to do the Teal Tuesday challenge but I do have a treat for you today. Here is 2 coats of Bonita Silver and 3 coats of Color Club Gingerbread. Such a lovely glitter.<br />

Today I have a treat for you all, I know you have seen this a million times but I'm just too excited to not show this fabulous nail polish. Here is a swatch of Nail-Venturous Floam! I honestly got this polish out of luck. A couple saturdays ago I went in to work and I was just so bored I started looking at the Ninja Polish website to see if they restocked any polishes I was lemming for and to my surprise there was Floam IN STOCK, can you imagine how excited and giddy I was?!? This nail polish is just pure awsomeness. Nail-Venturous is a genius! Now I am hoping to get lucky and buy some of her other polishes.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNWxmpfShWqSmTwB-8snJTP06JwE91cps4mutOTsAcUQvnG4lDJZFMtq8jYGza_rPlP2cfDogXAOZIpS7YwEiiy7qXY2CqUynRkM7SFCG86fuLbkLRP5tbgaYTD3GnvX2EfSMf3i_uX4/s400/floam1.jpg" width="400" border="0" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEdEbm7zTXwDR5ORARLmdJHOek4i97-pLiOV0B4t04vl6lU8K1RbwrKhCrxhQXmGTVyUyTFFOY9WbLRwCaRZ7S4cGAZyOiMxqaRl36Sk6ZNkx4_48LJPGBPMNt6Wgi-Bs0Xuh7zbNc0Q/s1600/floam.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEdEbm7zTXwDR5ORARLmdJHOek4i97-pLiOV0B4t04vl6lU8K1RbwrKhCrxhQXmGTVyUyTFFOY9WbLRwCaRZ7S4cGAZyOiMxqaRl36Sk6ZNkx4_48LJPGBPMNt6Wgi-Bs0Xuh7zbNc0Q/s400/floam.jpg" width="400" border="0" /></a></div><br /><a class="pin-it-button" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsimple-and-beautiful.blogspot.com%2F2012%2F06%2Ffloam.html&media=http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F-ubNNy8kLlDU%2FT8or-l2k46I%2FAAAAAAAACIE%2FwMn1uWxtv4M%2Fs400%2Ffloam3.jpg&description=Nail-Venturous%20Floam" layout="horizontal"><img title="Pin It" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><script src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853526851033220205noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168603512155227123.post-65006242788174931812012-06-05T21:02:00.000-07:002012-06-05T21:02:30.921-07:00Teal Tuesdays - Matte/Glossy<div style="text-align: center;">

For this edition of Teal Tuesdays our challenge was to create a matte/glossy mani. For my base I used RBL Halcyon. Can you believe this is the only RBL polish I own? I absolutely love this polish, the color, the application, the formula. I love EVERYTHING except the price. $20 is a little steep in my book but I am happy I splurged and bought this otherwise I would be kicking myself in the butt right now. I then taped my nails diagnal and applied Jordana Boy Oh Boy and Essie Matte About You to create the matte look. To finish the mani off I used the dotting tool and added more Halcyon over the Boy Oh Boy. <br />

<br />Here is a quick swatch of Bonita White. This polish was a complete PITA to apply, I might even have to give this polish away now that I'm done swatching it. I really did not want to post this but in order to reach my goal I have to swatch every single polish I own even if I hate it. Bonita White has a pearl finish to it but caution it is VERY streaky!<br />

I haven't had a chance to do a Stamping Sunday challenge in such a long time, I'm happy I was able to do a mani for this challenge beacuse it's Debbie (The Crumpet's) daughters birthday. So we were able to choose either a celebration mani, a plate ending in 9, or a birthday mani. I decided to choose a plate ending in 9. I used Cheeky Plate CH29 and used every image that was on that plate. I used Color Club Pardon My French for my base, stamped with Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom and Sally Hansen Red Chrome. For the tips I taped them off and used, Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom and KleanColor Chunky Holo Fuchsia. </div>

Since I have been neglecting my blog I figured I should have a second post for today. For todays challenge Animal Print I decided to go with a snake skin print. I love snakes and if it was up to me I would own one, but unfortunately I don't have the time and I don't think Allan would appreciate having a snake in the house with a 3 year old. Just a little side story, I used to have a childhood friend who lived right behind my parents house, our backyards were facing each other. She was the same age as me and we would always go outside and play. Well her and her mother rented that house and sometimes had roommates and one of her roommates was a guy who had a snake collection. We would be in the garage holding and petting the snakes it was really awsome to be able to handle snakes at such a young age I think I was like 8 years old. I'm happy I did otherwise I might have a phobia of snakes just like my mom, instead I have a huge phobia of spiders. Anyways back to the mani, for this I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black for my base, I stamped using A-England Saint George and China Glaze GR8 with Bundle Monster image plate BM-215. I really enjoyed this challenge and absolutely adored how it came out and beware this post is picture heavy!<br />

Hello readers, sorry I haven't posted for what seems to be a million years (at least for me,since I usually blog everyday) but I have been doing a lot of OT at work and as a matter of fact I am at work right now. So I was planning on posting this earlier but I haven't had the time. Last week I received some great nail mail. Here are the fantastic polishes I got: Nail-Venturous Floam, Cover Band Sticks 'n Stones, Cult Nails Let Me Fly, Cult Nails Living Water, Cult Nails Hypnotize Me, Picture Polish Denim, and A-England Saint George. I finally got my hands on Floam and Sticks 'n Stones and honestly it was a fluke, I happened to be at work on a Saturday and was just browsing on ninjapolish.com and *BAM* there it was the lovely Floam and the awsome Sticks 'n Stones <strong>IN STOCK</strong>, can you believe it!!! I rushed and clicked add to cart and paid for those bad boys along with A-England Saint George and Picture Polish Denim. As for the Cult Nails I got them when they had the second $5 sale and I was quite happy that I actually caught this sale because I missed the first $5 sale. </div>Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15853526851033220205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168603512155227123.post-60989221806185818292012-05-29T23:47:00.000-07:002012-05-29T23:53:49.167-07:00Teal Tuesdays - Free Day<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe I almost missed a Teal Tuesday. Yesterday I was busy cleaning up that I didn't have the time to paint them so I decided I was just going to do the challenge today when I got home from work. Well, I ended up going over to my brother and sister in laws house for dinner so I didn;t get home until 9:30. When I got home I wanted to shower before I went to sleep, so here I am rushing to get this post in before midnight. It's 11:45PM here in Seattle, so I have 15 minutes to finish this. For my base I used 1 coat of Cult Nails Let Me Fly and added a coat of Cult Nails Hypnotize Me. It turned out beautiful, I'm very happy I got these polishes during the Cult Nails $5 sale. </div>

Happy Memorial Day! I had such a busy weekend, we celebrated my son's birthday party at Kidz Bounce which has these ginormous inflatable slides and bouncy rooms. It was such a blast to have both my family and my boyfriends family along with our closest friends there. Julius had such a great time playing and bouncing! So I didn't get a chance to work on the Sunday Stamping challenge due to just being plain lazy and also trying to clean up his old toys to make room for the new ones. So here is a quick swatch of OPI Just Spottes the Lizard.</div>

My goal is to eventually swatch each one of my nail polishes at least one time, it's hard with all of the challenges and groups I'm involved with, so here and there I throw in some swatches in my blog. At this point I just want to finish swatching the Bonita collection I had bought a long time ago from Ross and I was just going to swatch all at once and just write one post about all of them but it became time consuming and as a full time employee, full time mommy, full time girlfriend and full time friend I just didn't have the time to do all the swatches plus the challenges. Slowly I have been swatching here and there and here my friends is Bonita Red. (I still don't know the names of these colors). This is 1 coat of Bonita Red with a top coat of SV.</div>

I must be delusional becuase I ended up using another pink again, wow 2 days in a row! This mani looked comletely different in my head but I think the outcome was so much better than what I had planned in my head. It's a very subtle stripe mani but it reminds me of very elegant wrapping paper. Here's a fun and quick fact. OPI Hawaiian Orchid was my very first OPI I ever bought and it was originally supposed to be used for my trip to Hawaii last year (2011), but I ended up being boring and just did a Frech Tip Mani. Anyways as you already know my base used was OPI Hawaiian Orchid. The stripes are Konad Special Nail Polish Gold and Cheeky plate CH11. The bow is Konad Special Nail Polish White and Cheeky plate CH8.</div>

First of all I want to say <strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY</strong> to my son <strong>Julius</strong>, I can't believe it has already been 3 years, where does time go? Ok time for the mani, I tend to stray away from any pink or red polishes because I just feel like they are just too much of girly colors for me, but this challenge day I was in a pink mood, very shocking! So I opened my Pink & Red drawer to my Helmer and I just could not choose which pinks or reds I should choose, for someone who <strike>hates</strike> dislikes pinks I have a lot of pinks to choose from. For my base I used China Glaze White on White. For the polka dots I used OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips, OPI Red Lights Ahead...Where?, and OPI Sparrow Me the Drama and used my handy dandy dotting tool. I just knew I wanted the polka dots to cover my whole nail so I chose to do diagnal lines with the polka dots and VOILA there you have it my Polka Dot Mani.</div>

Instead of doing just a normal gradient like I am supposed to, I decided since I had already done a gradient for Day 6 Violet, I would just show you a Ombre Mani instead. This was my first attempt at ever doing an Ombre mani and I really like the end results and the fact that it was super easy to do! </div>
<div>
For this mani I used: Base Coat: Revlon Base Coat. Base Color: Sinful Colors Nirvana. As the base color got lighter I just added 1-2 drops of China Glaze White on White, and as the base color got darker I just added 1-2 drops of Sinful Colors Blaack on Black. Top Coat: Seche Vite.</div>

And here's a little extra an actual <strong>Gradient</strong> Mani:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this mani I used Sally Hansen Lightening for the base color and for the sponging I used Sinful Colors Cloud 9 mixed with Warpaint Acid Orange and Sephora by OPI What Aura Gonna Wear? mixed with Icing Neon Pink. This is what I call my Sunset Mani...fitting right? I was going to add palm trees but I couldn't find my image plate with the palm tree and I tried to free hand but it just isn't my forte so I left it alone.</div>

But for now it's Teal Tuesdays and we voted on stars. Here's what I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Rise and Shine for my base, 1 coat of Zoya Ivanka over the Rise and Shine, and Sinful Colors Black on Black for my stamping polish. For my ring finger and thumb I used Cheeky Plate CH26, and for the other fingers I used Bundle Monster Plate BM05. I top coated each nail with Seche Vite, Enjoy the photos! BTW In realy life you could see the teal shinging through but in these pictures all you can see is the green in Ivanka.<br />

I strayed off course again last night and wasn't able to create my gradient mani for the 31 Day Challenge, so for today I will show you a mani I did last week. I used 2 coats Ulta Lav-Ish for my base, Lav-Ish is a very subtle grayish purple with micro shimmer. For my accent nails I used Color Club Otherworldly then I taped off my ring and thumb nails and used Ulta Lav-Ish. The accent nails were supposed to turn out as up arrows, but it's a bit hard to see.</div>

Day 9 is Rainbow, I was just going to reshow you my mani I did a couple months back which was Rainbow tips but that would be cheating so I decided to recreate a mani I saw from someone else but I honestly can't remember who I saw it from. For each nail I just painted a horizontal line of each color, no taping because I knew already I was going to paint over with black. I used Color Club Cadillac Red, Sinful Colors Cloud 9, Sinful Colors Pull Over, Bonita Green, and Sinful Colors Endless Blue. I then taped each nail differently using striping tape and painted over with my favorite black Sinful Colors Black on Black and voila my Rainbow Mani!<br />

We had an amazing SUNNY weekend in Seattle, I just had to take a couple days off to actually get out there and enjoy the weather. The rest of the week is supposed to be nice as well so I'm looking forward to that. I've been running a ton of errands trying to get my son's 3rd birthday party set and I'm almost done, just got to get a few things finished and I won't need to worry about it until the day before. It is Teal Tuesdays again and this weeks challenge is Abstract nail art. Whenever I think of abstract I think of shapes for some reason. Well here is my take on abstract nail art. I used 2 coats of Wet N Wild Teal of Fortune for my base, I should have used 3 but since I was going to cover up most of it I decided to do only 2 coats. I then taped some triangles and used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black and outlined each triangle with LA Colors Art Deco nail striper Silver. For my ring finger I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black, taped using nail striping tape and painted over with Wet'n Wild Teal of Fortune.<br />

For the base I used 2 coats of Ulta Concrete Evidence, I then taped each finger and used OPI Swimsuit...Nailed It! I reveresed the colors for the ring finger and added SV to each nail. Then used 1 coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust.<br />
