This took a bit of work to take off- I forgot how glitter just loves to stay stuck! I wore this for 5 days,
and chose it because I was doing to Disney. I always love red and black for Disney trips! This is Milani Jewel FX in Red over WnW Black Creme.

My favorite thing to do after work, besides going straight home, is to head to Target or Wal-Mart for a bit and wander. Yes, I would have been on my feet for 8 hours before that, but another hour wouldn’t hurt me. I usually stock up on craft supplies or food, and I almost always stop in the beauty section.
7 minutes before Target’s closing time the other day, I saw some new Sinful Colors polishes in display. I don’t know if they’re exclusive to Target, but I heard a while ago that these polishes were popping up. The shades themselves looked familiar, but after a hard day, I decided to treat myself to 2. I picked up Sizzling (pink) and Shock and Awe (blue). I say “pink” and “blue,” because that’s as talented as I am when it comes to descriptions, but they’re so much more than that. The formulas were like crellies (cream jellies), and the colors were bright, but my camera did not capture them correctly. Gorgeous nonetheless!
The colors are not unique, but the quality of the formula and application make it a no-brainer choice at only $1.99 each.
Sizzling
Almost a perfect 1 coated if you’re careful! The first pictures show 1 coat. Wow.
This is 2 coats.
Shock and Awe
Not perfect at 1 coat.
But perfect with 2.
I use an LED OttLite when swatching. Here are pics of the polishes under my kitchen lighting, complete with cat photobomb.

It had been a long time since I’d worn black nails, but I always love the way they look. I wore Wet n Wild Black Creme with accents of Essie Camera to add a summery touch. Neons being difficult to capture, Camera comes off as looking very red.

I am the laziest nail person out there. I do my nails, but I don’t moisturize at all. I have nail polish, but I never put it away. And I own a fancy Knockout Nails system, but I never use it. Lame! I was up early one day last week, and decided to break it out for the first time this year. It’s been month since I used it, since last August exactly. I like Knockout Nails, and even though the upkeep is just every couple of weeks, I usually just let it fade away and then file it all off after a few months. It’s quite easy and fast, though, and Knockout Nails works really well for those who need extra strengthening. This is what a proper care manicure is for me– I should do it more often!

I purchased this polish a few months ago at Forever 21 because it fit in with the mass produced “indie polish” look, or “glitter in a milky base.” This is 3 coats, and I got quite a few compliments on it!

Pre-cleanup, but I don’t care! Tomorrow’s my day off and this is what I’m wearing, baby!
Ugh, super neon glow. This collection from last year was one of my favorites. Summer’s here! (Duh, I’m in Florida!)

I was too tired to do my nails last night, but I thought Happy Hands Polish in Motherboy was perfect to out over Sinful Colors Cotton Candy. It’s one of my favorite glitters!

I loved my NOTD today. It was a grey, dreary Monday here in Florida. I wore pink.
This cheap beauty is bright and has a shimmer that’s hidden in most lighting. This was a limited edition from a collection of pastels earlier this year, and this is as close to Nicki Minaj as I get. This was three coats.
Bonus kitten and random triple stacked Oreo I found photo! Happy Monday, everyone.

I know I’ve worn this before, but I love it. I layered The Bends by SUPER BLACK Lacquers over a jelly royal blue by Color Club. It looks great no matter what the lighting.

Short one here! My iPhone is slowly (9 hours) being backed up and updated and transferred, but I have this NOTD pic in my Photobucket. I’m horrified that I now use my iPhone for 99% of my blog pictures, but 1) it’s handy and 2) I’m addicted to Instagram. If you’d like randomness from me on a daily basis, please visit me @niftyba on Instagram. Here is Tweets Cosmetics in JK. Small bottle for the price, but of course I’ll buy at least 2. This is 3 coats- not much to write home about BUT novel idea: a polish based on social media. All the names of the polishes are based on real (or fake) Internet abbreviations (text speak? LOL-language?). Main thing is, 10 years from now, I bet this will be retro gold.
