To-Teally Hot by Finger Paints

Hey everyone!


So I should have posted this yesterday for Teal Tuesday and forgot. Oops. I went to my local Sally's Beauty on Sunday because they were having a 50% off of all of their already clearance items. I couldn't resist. Most of the polish there was Orly's Dark Shadows collection (I purchased Buried Alive while I was there and I've already purchased 2 others which I reviewed here) but there were a few Finger Paints. Most of them had separated where not one had shook them in a while. Most people assume that means that they are ruined, but we all know that's not true. 

This is To-Teally Hot. And I love it. It first looked like a strange yellow green with yellow at the bottom. I shook it up and look how pretty it is! Can you believe that I got it for $1.99? This is 2 coats and it does try a smooth matte. What is smooth matte you ask? Not exactly matte but not exactly shiny. Not sure of how else to describe it, if you know the correct term let me know. 

It did stain around the edges of my fingers, but after a good scrub with Acetone, it wasn't that bad. It's a small price to pay for such a pretty color. 

Sinful Colors indeed!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to make a quick post to share with you something terrible. Sinful Colors has placed fairly large displays in Walgreens recently. In their big display there is a pamphlet talking about nail art techniques. Mary over at Swatch and Learn had one of her designs stolen and published in this pamphlet without credit. Check out her post for more info!

Blog News: Sinful Colors Used My Photo in Their Pamphlet without Permission & Distributed it in Walgreens

I remember looking at this photo and thinking it was a Konad stamp and most certainly not a toothpick swirl design. Shame on Sinful Colors for using her photo and not crediting her. And didn't Revlon buy them too? Shame on Revlon too!

July Julep Maven Box

Hey everyone! 


I received my July Julep Maven box a while back. I've been meaning to post the swatches, I just keep forgetting. Let's start off with the special editions. America the Beautiful and Oh Canada. (Picture heavy everything is below the cut!)

Holy Glitter Batman!!!

Hey everyone!

The Dark Knight Rises comes out today! My husband is a huge Batman fan. So huge in fact that had I been asleep when they came in for the birth certificate, my son might have been named Bruce Wayne. Hubby is still trying to talk me into the name Robin if we have a girl later on. Anyway, I decided to decorate my nails for the movie, but before that I had to create polish of course!

Meet Holy Glitter Batman! This polish can be for sale if you'd like, but it will be limited edition at a first come first served basis. If you are interested than leave me a comment below and I can create a custom listing. 

Almost there!

Hey everyone!


My Facebook Page is almost to 100 likes. Once we hit 100 I'll be hosting a giveaway! So spread the word!!!

Let's Bowl, Let's Bowl, Let's Rock n' Roll!

Hey Everyone!


First, 5 points to whoever gets the movie that this title came from!


Second, It's Monday, which normally sucks, but not in the nail world! Mondays are Monkey See Monkey Do Monday! I have had this one planned out the minute I saw Katy from Nailed It! post this. My hubby is from Michigan and his whole family grew up in bowling alleys. Not to mention his sister's name is Katy. It was fate people!
