Reviewing another product from the Born Pretty Store. This time it's the Striping Tape you can find here in a pack of 12 different colors for $6.29.

Spoiled - Uh, As If!

I got a few of these Spoiled polishes because who can pass up a sale for 99 cent polish? Not this girl. This is a great BRIGHT pink with gold shimmer. This is 2 easy coats.

Finally Back

After what seems like FOREVER... I finally have internet at my new house. It was briefly hooked up when posted on 5/22/12 about my new polish room, and then they came to bury the phone line outside the next day. It killed it. I've argued with my phone company ever since that they messed something up, but just got through their thick skulls today. So finally it's fixed and all is good in the world again. My nails are still in slightly pitiful...

New Polish Room

So I've been away because I recently moved. Now that things have settled down a bit, I should be able to get back into my routine. Before I start any nail art, I have to show you my new polish room.

Well at my new house I wanted to do it up and do it right! And it...

Pardon the interruption

I just want to apologize for the interruption in your regularly scheduled programming. ;)I recently moved! I was without internet for 5 days, and now it's hooked up but I'm so pushed to get everything done and unpacked, blogging has taken a back burner.

Just hold tight until then!Thanks everyone!Les...

Jelly Glitter Sandwiches

I don't have many jelly finish polishes in my stash. I like that they look all squishy and juicy, but I feel like they NEVER dry! Even if I use a quick dry top coat, they always get dinged up and ruined.I recently showed you Sation Sheer Legs, which is in fact, Sheer! And I picked up a mini OPI Do You Think I'm Tex-y which is a jelly. So here are some jelly sandwiches!This is 3 coats of Sation Sheer Legs topped with a coat of WnW Party of 5 Glitters...
