It's time share another pastel mani from the NCC group. April is pastels and here is my 3rd mani<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGKdvjNmU4tnvCEyNMvm3GTFml-8VAYxCnDZFG9tU70m1aZhqyUaIRsfYjSaevDq4z1biJTO2vcxAb8Wa4hcUpj9JBAPTYntNpu3FSvkUIY3O9WLmgEg0cI5fzNOM77JXKmqg-VhH0Nvs/s1600/4.24.2013_3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Zoya Arizona striped mani" border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGKdvjNmU4tnvCEyNMvm3GTFml-8VAYxCnDZFG9tU70m1aZhqyUaIRsfYjSaevDq4z1biJTO2vcxAb8Wa4hcUpj9JBAPTYntNpu3FSvkUIY3O9WLmgEg0cI5fzNOM77JXKmqg-VhH0Nvs/s400/4.24.2013_3.png" title="Zoya Arizona striped mani" width="400" /></a></div>
Base Coat: Rejuvacote<br />
Base Color: Zoya Arizona<br />
Stripes: Pink and White from L.A. Colors<br />
Top Coat: Seche Vite<br />
<br />
So, you are probably thinking that this doesn't really look pastel. When I did my base, I had no idea what I was going to do but a light orange would be fun. After adding the pink stripes, it quickly started to look like a bright neon mani. Adding the white gave it more dimension and even though it may not all be pastel, I really like how this one came out :)<br />

It's challenge mani day! If you remember The Nail Challenge Collaborative, then you know we just started a new series where every month is a new theme. April is pastels and here is my week 2 pastel mani.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had these nail art stickers for quit some time now. I received them as a "sorry you didn't receive your striping tape order, here are some stickers and a replacement is on the way" kind of thing. They sent a lot too! Soooooo, with it being pastel month, I thought it was a good time to try these out. And I have to say, I am really liking them. They make a plain mani cute and summer-y. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a really hard time photgraphing this mani and didn't know if it was going to make it to the blog. I tried all kids of light sources, angles, indoors, out doors.....nothing was looking good. This is the best I could do. Here is another shot</div>

Soooo, I recently shared my review of Copper Waters for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BadAssPolish">BadAss Polish</a>, you can check it out <a href="http://mandyspolish.blogspot.com/2013/04/badass-polish-copper-waters-review.html">HERE</a> if you missed it. I really enjoyed the look, but of course, I wanted to change it up a bit. As I was walking through my bedroom, I saw my matte top coat, so that was that, matte it was!! I love the look of matte glitters and this was no exception.</div>

Please forgive the tip wear, I used a cheap drug store polish as my base, Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris. I don't think I will be using this one any more. It always starts to wear off about the 2nd day. You will notice that my ring finger with Essie Good as Gold has no tip wear or chipping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need a good black, any recommendations? I picked up Sinful Colors Black on Black, we will see if that one holds up any better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glitter toppers are so fun and you can do so much with them. Right now, I am loving the matte glitters, I am sure there will be more in the near future ;)</div>

Evening ladies!! I had planned on doing this post this morning, but I go wrapped up in getting Birthday Club polishes put away and re-organizing some baking stuff to make room for more crochet stuff. Yeah, lots of moving stuff around today. I am not quite done, but I will prob get to it again after the kids go to bed. So for now, here is my review for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BadAssPolish">BadAssPolish</a> Copper Waters. This is a new addition to the core line. It's a mix of blue holographic glitter with copper glitter in a clear base. It's quite pretty. Check out the bottle:</div>

I swatched this baby over quite a few colors and it was hard to choose my base to show you. In the end I went with black and gold. I did just one coat of my base colors, Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris and Essie Good as Gold along with one coat of Copper Waters. I topped with a coat of Seche Vite and I was good to go. </div>

Isn't it pretty? The formula was great and I definitely didn't have to do any fishing here. You could do as many coats as you like, but I like to see the base color under this one.</div>

Afternoon everyone! I am excited to be back into my challenge group again, known as The Nail Challenge Collaborative. We have done weekly themes for the seasons all through last year. I unfortunately, didn't finish the last 2 :( April marks the 1 year anniversary of the group and I am excited to still be here and join the new challenge. Things have changed a bit, and I quite like these changes. It will make it easier for me to keep going with the challenge themes. Instead of having a pre planned weekly schedule, we are going to have a them for each month. We can do what ever we want each week of that month for the theme. Make sense? Ok, so our first ever challenge was a pastel one, wanna see mine? Click <a href="http://mandyspolish.blogspot.com/2012/04/spring-challenge-spring-pastels.html">HERE</a>, little nutty huh? That was back when I first started blogging. Any who, since our first challenge was a pastel one, the theme for April is pastel ;) I have been saving this polish for this challenge cause I find it very appropriate. Pretty & Polished Bashful Bouquet is a mix of pastel glitters in a clear base. FUN! I did my mani 2 ways, glossy top coat and matte top coat. Which do you like best?</div>

I prefer the matte look. It's so soft and pretty. I often forget about my matte top coat. I think I am gonna leave it next to my Seche Vite so I can see it all the time :)</div>

Morning! Or afternoon, depending on where you live ;) Hope every one had a great Easter, I know I did. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. So much so that I did practically nothing yesterday, I was pooped!! But I am back today to share my fun holo zebra mani.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got Nfu-Oh NFU 61 from a blog sale a while back, and now that the sun has been peeking out, it was a good time to give it a try. In general you are supposed to use an aqua base for this polish, but I don't have one. So I did a little looking around for other options. A lot of people sandwiched 61 with Seche Vite. If you don't use an aqua base or some alternative, this polish is very streaky and leaves bald spots. Not pretty! I used my normal base coat of Rejuvacote, did a coat of 61, then a coat of Seche Vite, another coat of 61 and topped with Seche Vite. Get all that? Next time, I think I will start with Seche Vite as my base and go from there. See if it works easier. But hey, it turned out just fine with a little finesse. And because I can't leave a holo polish alone, I decided some stamping was in order :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think? I used Konad M57 and Konad Special Black for the zebra print and Bundle Monster BM317 and Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Flashy Fuchsia for the bow. Then topped with another coat of Seche Vite :) </div>

Easter is this weekend people! I have big plans with the family so I am popping in to share my cute Easter inspired dotticure. I have been wanting to do one for a while, but when I am in a slump, it never enters my head. I need to start keeping a list of techniques I wanna try. Anywho, I also picked up OPI I Theodora You (from the Oz the Great and Powerful Collection) when I went to Ulta this week. It's a cute light pink jelly. I will def have to use this one for a jelly sammie. I did 2 coats and of course you can still see some of my nail underneath, but that is kind of to be expected. I grabbed China Glaze For Audrey and Happy Go Lucky for my dots. Kind of the only options I had, I don't have a lot of pastels. So I gotta work with what I got ;) Here is how it turned out. Pretty good I think. I have seen better, but for a first try, I am happy with it.</div>

If you have been a polish lover or in a polish group of some sort, then you have probably heard about Nerdlacquer. She has some awesome creations and her polishes are very sought after. A while ago, she disappeared, no one knew what happened and if/when she would come back. You can go check out her Google+ page for all the details, as she has explained her situation in detail. When I heard she was back, I made sure to pay attention so I could grab a couple Nerds when she re-stocked, AND I DID! I knew to get in and get out as quickly as possible, as her stuff sells out in literally a couple minutes. I was nervous the whole time waiting for a message to tell me that my items were no longer in my cart. But when I was finished, I got my confirmation e mail and that was that :) My 2 Nerds were mine! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I wanna share Event Horizon, I have had my eye on this one ever since I heard about Nerdlacquer. It is described as a blackened teal with blue, aqua, green, silver and holographic glitters and boy is it pretty! It's pretty packed and 2 coats was def enough for full coverage. I put it on Friday afternoon, and today, Tuesday, no chipping with minor tip wear :) I took quit a few pictures and I am gonna share a few of them. Get ready!!</div>

Sorry for the pic spam, but I just couldn't decide which pic I liked the best. If you wanna get a hold of some Nerds, you should follow her on Google+ <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/116841400682752320050/posts">HERE</a>, as that is where she posts updates and re-stock info. You can also check out her store <a href="http://nerdlacquer.com/main.sc">HERE</a>, she has all her polishes listed so you can see pics. Obviously, you won't be able to actually buy until her next re stock. But at least this way you can make your list and go from there :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I have to know, do you have any Nerds? Have a wishlist? Which are you hoping to get in the next re stock?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last weekend was my son's 4th birthday. We took him to the Reptile Zoo, which he LOVED, and decided a mani to match would be fun. I had done some Googling and saw <a href="http://www.nailpolishwars.com/2012/03/rebelliously-reptilian.html">THIS</a> from Nail Polish Wars. She does such great stuff. I had A England Lady of the Lake and Color Club Worth the Risque in my stash, so I gave it a try. Here are a couple pics in direct sunlight:</div>

Quick question......Do you like to hear a little background about the author of a blog or just the nitty gritty details about the post topic? Sometimes I wanna chat here a little, but I don't know if any one cares. Let me know what you like :)</div>

Today I am sharing A England Lady of the Lake. I have had this polish for a while and I don't know why I waited so long to use it! It's gorgeous and glides on like butter! It's purple with a light holo effect. Lady of the Lake covers real well in just one coat, but I did 2, just for good measure.</div>

A England is available depending on where you live. If you are in the UK, you can order from <a href="http://a-england.co.uk/">http://a-england.co.uk/</a> Recently, Royal Mail has started destroying packages that contain illegal and flammable items, such as nail polish. Luckily, A England has been working on the problem and if you live some where other than the UK, you can still purchase from <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/">http://shop.llarowe.com/</a></div>

This morning I am going to start off with some Google news. Google has announced that it is retiring it's Reader on July 1st. There is an easy solution to this. Just head over to <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/">http://www.bloglovin.com/</a>, sign up if you haven't already and then on the top of the page, there is a notice about Google and a link to transfer all your blogs over to Bloglovin. How nice of them! I did it this morning, took about a minute. I am happy that is all taken care of. No worries here about losing my blogs in the shuffle. Hope you do the same :)</div>

Sooooo, I have some good news for you today, but you will have to wait until after my review of this awesome polish from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BadAssPolish">BadAss Polish</a>. Today I have Chocolate Covered Cherry. It's very similar to Dusk, which you can check out <a href="http://mandyspolish.blogspot.com/2012/12/badass-polish-dusk-review.html">HERE</a>, except this one is a chocolate brown version and well, it's got some red holo glitters in it! This polish is so versatile there are so many ways to wear it and depending on the light, you get different effects all through out the day. I ended up taking pictures with 3 different light sources. There is THAT much of a difference. And all are beautiful and sparkly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I swatched CCC, I couldn't decide what I wanted to use for my base, so I went with 2 colors and did an accent nail :) I used Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris and for the accent (ring finger) and Sinful Colors Mercury Rising. Just one coat of CCC, a coat of Seche Vite and I was good to go. I loved my mani and was excited to go outside and take some pics, but when I stepped out into the sun light, my nails were all kinds of holo-y & sparkly, it was so cool! I have a couple photos from each light source I wanna share with you, so get prepared from a bunch of pretty pictures :)</div>

Good Morning all :) It's time for some 2nd day nails. This time I went with some stamping. When I did my review for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BadAssPolish">BadAss Polish</a> on Monday, which you can see <a href="http://mandyspolish.blogspot.com/2013/03/badass-polish-brew-crew-review.html">HERE</a>, for their newest polish called Brew Crew, I was reminded of space. I knew exactly what I was gonna do in the next day or so :) So I got out my plates and found a fun space inspired one from Cheeky. Here are my cute space nails.</div>

Morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I know I did. It was pretty busy but all in all, it was a good time. Until I woke up Sunday morning and lost an hour :( Some one please tell me why we still have to change our clocks every 6 months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Less complaining and more polish! Today I am sharing a lovely from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BadAssPolish">BadAss Polish</a>'s new Baseball themed line, called "Take me out to the ball game" Cute, right? The first polish in the line was inspired by the Milwaukee Brewers called Brew Crew. It's a clear base packed with blue, white and gold glitters. Quite easy to apply, as have been all my BadAss polishes. I am showing this glitter topper over a black and silver base, I LOVE IT! It's so much fun and reminds me of space :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't it nice?!?! I used 2 coats of Brew Crew to get this look. You could easily do 3 or 4 to really pack it on there. I have learned to have a little patience when using glitter toppers such as these. I like to paint my base, let it dry for a minute or two and then do a coat of the glitter topper and let it dry for a couple of minutes. Have you ever noticed that if it isn't dry enough, the second coat starts to pull the first coat and then your pretty polish looks all a mess? Yeah, me too. So this time I waited about 3 minutes or so (about long enough to play a level or 2 of Candy Crush) between coats and not a mess of anything! Patience really is a virtue when using glitter toppers. </div>

I don't really follow baseball, but that doesn't mean that a baseball inspired polish can't live with me. </div>

Baseball season is fast approaching, make sure to either grab this one or keep an eye out for your favorite team inspired polish. BadAss Polish is good at capturing the team spirit in a bottle. </div>

Afternoon ladies! I have another review for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reflections-Sassy-Nails-and-Silly-Diversions/274691922570635?ref=ts&fref=ts">Sassy Lacquer</a>'s Spring Line. Today I am sharing A Frosty Crocus. It's a lovely light purple with pink shimmer that builds up to the perfect for spring purple. I chose not to use any undies, but I think you could layer this over blue or black and it would be beautiful. Since I didn't use an undies, I went with 3 coats to make sure it was opaque all over the nail. I definitely could have gotten away with 2, but I am glad I did 3, I like the look better :)</div>

This polish dries semi matte, so I recommend a nice glossy top coat. Unless you are looking for a matte look ;)</div>

I love the way you get the flashes of pink as you move your hands. This really is quite pretty. Head over and visit <a href="http://sassylacquer.storenvy.com/">Sassy Lacquer's Store</a> to pick this one up for yourself.</div>

Good morning and Happy Hump Day! I am excited to share a polish with you from a friends line, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reflections-Sassy-Nails-and-Silly-Diversions/274691922570635">Sassy Lacquer</a>. I received 2 beautiful polishes from the Spring Line and today I am sharing Tiger Lily Wears Pink. It's a beautiful pink creme with tiny red specks and the formula is awesome! It's quit smooth and applied like a dream. From the first stroke I knew I was going to love this one. Two coats is all I needed for complete opacity. I am loving this color, which is great, cause I don't usually do pinks. Tiger Lily Wears Pink is gonna be fun to wear this Spring and Summer :) </div>

Hey there lovely ladies, today I am sharing what I have on my nails today. I acquired the beautiful NFU 51 in a swap a couple months ago. I am IN LOVE with the bottles and I was able to get 51 and 61 (a silver holo) and I couldn't have been more excited. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the bottle of 51, it's gorgeous! I love the corset tops, so unique.</div>

51 is a light purple jelly base with some color shifting flakies in it. So, depending on whether you wear this alone or with some undies, you can get a few different looks from one polish. Cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my mani today I layered over black, so I could see the copper and green flakies and I love it. Can you tell I love this polish? LOL</div>

Hey all! A few weeks ago I received a sample of cuticle oil from Pretty & Polished for review. With the Holidays and all, I am finally ready to post my review. Here is what I received, sorry for the cell phone pic, but it's all I had when my son decided he loved the oil too and sadly dumped half of it out while I was out and the kids were home with dad. Yes, I am blaming dad for this one! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got a little dropper bottle and a cute file. Isn't it cute?!?! So hanging out in my purse :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may have seen other reviews for oils or balms from Pretty & Polished, and originally the oils were dispensed with a roller ball, which had me super excited. I was planning on getting one as soon as I ran out of my sample. But then the news came that the roller ball failed :( So now the oils are going to stay in droppers. Which, if you ask me, is still better than a brush. It's so simple to just grab a bit in the tube and dab a little drop at the top of my cuticles and rub it in. Purse friendly and quit easy to apply.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is some info I received from Chels:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Cuticle Oils will be packaged in dropper bottles that contain 7.3 ml of product (which is 1.3 more than the old packaging). We will also be releasing new scents within the next 48 hours!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sooooo, you get a little more bang for you buck! Here is what the new bottles will look like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received fruit punch and it smells delicious!! It's not too strong and doesn't fade away fast. When I have my hands close to my face a while after using the oil, it still smells good :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have loved Pretty & Polish nail polish for a while, my collection is steadily growing, and now I can add the oils to one of my favs from the shop. Chels has expanded her shop to include lots of great things like oils, balms, jewelry, gift sets and nail art tins. Check out the <a href="http://www.shopprettyandpolished.com/">SHOP</a> and see for yourself. Beware, your wallet may suffer LOL</div>

Morning!! Today I wanna share with you a polish I got from my Birthday Group. I have been wanting to get my hands on some Whimisies for a long time and I was lucky to receive a couple from a great friend for my birthday. This one is called I Believe In Fairies, it's a beautiful light purple jelly base with lots of little glitters in blue, pink, green, and prob a few others I can't make out, plus some large star glitters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly, not one star showed up when I was painting my nails. Maybe next time, but I still love the look anyway.</div>

Hey everyone, long time no talk! Hope your Christmas and New Years was great. My son was off school for 2 weeks and today was his first day back. He was excited to go back and see his teacher. I love that he loves school!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before the break I received another polish from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BadAssPolish">BadAss Polish</a> for review. The Vikes is another from their football line, based on The Vikings. It's a clear base packed with purple glitter, small white hex glitter and large yellow hex glitter. It's quit pretty. Of course I took a few bottle shots:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was deciding what I wanted to use as a base, I tried out like 10 different colors, and this one looks good over a variety of colors. When I reviewed the last 2 polishes from the football line, <a href="http://mandyspolish.blogspot.com/2012/12/badass-polish-american-team-review.html">America's Team</a> and <a href="http://mandyspolish.blogspot.com/2012/12/badass-polish-go-pack-go-review.html">Go Pack Go!</a> I kept with the colors of the team. This time I just went all girly LOL </div>

Happy Thursday, it's challenge mani day! This week's theme is Christmas/Holidays. Nice and simple and fun. Which is good the week before Christmas. I have been so busy baking and wrapping and taking care of kids I haven't really had time to do my nails. So easy was definitely on the menu for today. And what is easier than a holiday base coat and a nice stamp? Nothing! LOL</div>

I have another review for you today :) This is another polish from the core line of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BadAssPolish">BadAss Polish</a>. Dusk is a beautiful glitter polish. It's a clear base packed with mostly blue glitters and tiny gold glitters mixed in there for some some added dimension. This polish is gorgeous in the bottle!</div>

When choosing what color to layer over, I knew blue was a must. But I wanted to add another as an accent. Purple won that battle after a few swatches on a piece of paper.</div>

I went with Sinful Colors Midnight Blue and Let's Talk as my underwear, a nice deep blue and dark purple. I wish I could capture the purple's true color on camera. The blue is spot on. Looks great, right? The accent is actually about twice as dark as in the photo. So the contrast in real life is much more than you see here in the photo. But you can still get a good idea how how cool Dusk looks over purple.</div>

I used just one coat of Dusk for this mani. That was all I needed. This one is a little on the thicker side, so I would recommend you either add a bit of thinner or do as I did and just do one thick coat on each nail. If you go too thin, you are gonna get some dragging as the polish dries and you are still trying to spread on more glitter. Ask me how I know that LOL. So get it on there, spread fast and move on to the next.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just looking at my nails I am reminded of OPI Absolutely Alice. I cannot for sure say that this Midnight Blue/Dusk combo is a dupe, but it sure looks like it from the bottle. I will have to do a comparison post. Wouldn't it be cool if this combo made the dupe list? We shall see!</div>
