CND Blue & Purple Polka Dots!

For this Mani I used Wet n Wild- Black Creme, CND-Violet Shimmer & Ice Blue Shimmer!

Now My pics are kind of messy & I apologize for it! My nails got scratched up a bit I guess but it wasn't noticeable in person at all. I just painted them black and used a dotting tool to put the dots on em' :D

Hope everybody has a awesome day!




Also if you have any suggestions, questions, or anything you would like to see or me to post about I would love to hear about it in the comments below or in a email to Sarahmaye@gmail.com!

Glow in the dark Hot Topic Polish (With pictures of it glowing too!)


Hello =] I bought this (along with another green one) A week or two ago! Now let me just say this is a LAYERING polish! The pictures below have a redic amount of coats, seriously like 9 or 10!
It is very pretty but not for wearing alone unless you like painting 10 coats and like seeing VNL lol!
But it was only $2.99 so it's okay with me :)

& Also it glows very well! But it is extremely hard to get good pictures of it! But you get the idea :)




& A side note-In exactly 2 months my daughter will be TWO years old!?!!! Where does the time go?

I did one Hand in Gryffindor colors & the other in Slytherin! Hope you guys like it! And yes my Harry potter & Vol..[He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named] LOL Yes the Voldemort looks pathetic, I have very unsteady hands but you know what it's okay I smudged that nail anyway haha I think it is recognizable enough, good enough for me! Here are pics! Sorry there are so many!

Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe =]

Here is the past 2 days mani :) I realized that I hadn't tried it yet and then I put it on as quickly as I could lol! I love DL polishes, ugh so worth the splurge imo! I can't wait to get my hands on Call Me Irresponsible. I honestly forgot how many coats this was 3 or 4 I *think*. Sorry about the tip shrinkage : ( Seche was to blame but I love it so much! I recently bought the Out the Door topcoat because I have heard really great things about it, maybe it wont cause shrinkage like SV. I also broke a little bit of my nails on my index & middle finger so sorry they are shaped funky! It seems like every time I get them looking good 1-2 breaks! I need to find something that works better I guess, I want to try Opi's Nail Envy I think I will end up finally trying it.
Hope everybody is having a great weekend! Mine is okay so far, kind of boring but they almost always are :P

Kleancolor Holo Chrome & I'm homee :)

 I'M HOME!! YAY! We went to Georgia to visit Family for the 4th of July. I am excited to be home though it is a lot hotter there! I guess being in Tennessee for two years made me less used to it lol it isn't as humid here. But anywhoo I painted my nails this color when I was down there and my 4th of July themed Mani peeled off on a finger..That has only happened to me maybe 2x before but it happened twice in the past 4 days there! Weird! Anyway here is is! Three coats of Kleancolor Holo Chrome!


I'm sorry about the mess, I was out of town so I didn't bring my cleanup brush or anything :P I really like this polish! Especially for $1!!!
