<br />
I want to apologize for being away for so long. This year has been a very rough year for me. In January on my grandmother's birthday, I lost my uncle tragically. I was very much close to him. I couldn't deal with it. It was such a shock. I couldn't get back into the routine of my life.<br />
<br />
I had a brief scare of Leukemia. I was tested constantly. While they did not find anything, I am still being closely monitored and tested. My white blood cells are rising slowly.<br />
<br />
In June my mother was in a horrible accident. Someone was speed her and hit the side of her Jeep which caused her Jeep to flip several time. She was lucky to walk away with her life. Then my aunt got into a car accident and broke her arm.<br />
<br />
While trying to deal with all of that, in August my grandfather died. My grandfather adopted me when I was 5 years old. He was my everything. He made me feel protected and like I could anything in the world. He came to this country to give a better life to his family and he did. This has affected me tremendously. My work has suffered but I am lucky to work for an agency that understands completely.<br />
<br />
I am trying to see the positive side of things and trying to get back into the swing of things. My grandfather would want me to do that. It doesn't get any easier but I am learning to live with it.<br />
<br />
So, readers, that has been my year. I am going to try and blog more often. I apologize for being away for so long. I will continue to post nail art (though I am out of practice, last time I did nail art was in January). I will try to post outfits, crafts and things as the such.<br />
<br />
Thank you all for understanding.<br />
<br />
I hope you all are well.<br />
<br />
-xo-<br />

Everywhere we turn society is telling us how we have to look. Shapewear (spanx), diet culture. Telling us that in order to get a man we have to look a certain way. Compliments are back handed. "You're pretty for a big girl"<br />
<br />
I say fuck body shaming and fuck your beauty standards. Last year, I tried on a fatkini and I cried so hard as soon as I tried it on. I hated my body. I was doubting myself. Two days ago, I tried on the fatkini again. And you know what? I fucking loved it. I love my body and I am a fierce, fat, femme. My journey has been a very bumpy one. It is different for everyone but you can do it!<br />
<br />
I will be wearing this to the beach, out in public, for the world to see. Last year, if you had told me that I would have told you to fuck off.<br />
<br />
I have accepted my body and I love every inch, every roll, all the cellulite I have. I've noticed that this year, a lot of people have begun to accepted their bodies and rock it proudly. Fuck the haters. You will get people that hate fat people. Just remember, they hate themselves and that is why they need to project their bad energy out into the world.<br />
<br />
If you like something, wear it! No matter how short or tight. Fuck flattery!<br />
<br />

We had 7 computers going, pork buns, pastries and Futurama playing on the tv.<br />

Unfortunately not one of us got in. Saturday night and Preview night tickets sold out almost immediately, then Friday, Thursday and lastly Sunday. The mood went from elated and excited to extremely sad. We felt like failures because we couldn't get tickets for our friends. There is always stuff to do outside of the convention center also. Nerd HQ is going to have a lot of stuff as well.</div>

I came home today to another part of my nerdigras. My tickets for PAX East came in the mail today.</div>

Pax East is a video game convention put together by the creators of Penny Arcade (the web comic). There you can test the upcoming video games or buy games before they come out. One can also test out the newest technology in video gaming and PC gaming. The vendors are constantly giving away prizes. They also have a retro video gaming lounge, which is where I love to spend my time. Within the past two years, the table top gaming section has expanded beyond belief. You can "take out" games like you can take out books at the library. You give them your license and try out the game before you commit to buying it. Pax East is a 3 day affair. Starting April 11 and goes until April 13.</div>

I was thinking of what direction to go with it. I do not want to only post nail art as my life consists of many different factors. So I wanted to share those things with my readers.<br />
<br />
I am body-positive and this blog will be too. No body shaming or body policing. The word FAT is not a bad word. I am fat, my body is fat and it's beautiful.<br />
<br />
I want to post what I wear and what I craft and nail art as well. I would be posting rambling (much like this).<br />
So this is the way I am going. I hope you all stay along for the ride!!<br />
<br />

Today is the 7th installment of the 31 day challenge. The theme is black and white nails.<br />
<br />
My mind has been so preoccupied recently that I keep forgetting to take pictures earlier on in the day. But never fear! I do have the pictures for you all.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite shows is the Twilight Zone and it's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that today would be black and white nails.<br />
<br />

I love the way these turned out! Though I should have done them a bit more carefully. I thought they were going to be a lot harder to do but I think this is probably the easiest nail art that I have ever done!<br />
I remember a few years back, (11 years to be exact), I had contacts like this. They were my favorite things to wear. I was 17 at that time and worked as a receptionist for an optometrist and she gifted me the contacts.<br />

So today is supposed to be violet nails but I decided to just make them purple! This post is a bit late today because I've been playing The Sims 3 Supernatural all day! I also have been watching Hocus Pocus. I also got a collapsible light box and an an Ottlite. This week has brought on a lot of fun things!!<br />
I am really loving the way my nails came out!!<br />

I have to go to work in 10 minutes and if this is not posted now then I won't be able to post it until midnight.<br />
<br />
Today calls for blue nails. I had a hell of a time coming up with an idea for blue nails. I wanted to do a lot of things but didn't have time. So I settled for stamping. I give credit to those ladies who are absolutely amazing and so creative with stamping.<br />
<br />

I used Deborah Lippmann On The Beach stamped with China Glaze 2030 and BM Plate 306.<br />
Gosh I can't express enough how much I love this print!! It's so gorgeous and I love the color combo together.<br />

<br />
I hope you all had a great weekend. Today is day 4 and it calls for green! I've had this idea in my head for a long time now and this was the perfect opportunity to do it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used China Glaze Starboard, Wet n Wild Black Creme, black and white acrylic. Chez Delaney plate A37<br />
Looking at this manicure, I wish I used a lighter green. Perhaps next time!<br />
<br />

They are extremely cute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like my other nails lack. Hmm time to brain storm some more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The stitches look a bit boring. </div>

I work with kids with Autism so two of them helped me come up with the concept by drawing it on paper for me first.<br />

I used China Glaze Happy Go Lucky and Wet N Wild Black Creme. It sucks that it already has tip wear. I'm pretty sure I've had this on for less than 12 hours, most of the hours I was sleeping. It's a love hate relationship with seche vite.</div>

Today is day 2 of the 31 day challenge. The theme today is orange nails.<br />
I was watching Doug all day today and it inspired my nails for today. I remember Let Them Have Polish did <a href="http://www.letthemhavepolish.com/2012/08/n-n-n-n-n-nick-nick-nick-nickelodeon.html">Nickolodeon</a> nails. So she is my inspiration on these nails as well. Here is my version:<br />

As you can see, my thumb nail decided to smudge itself and Seche Vite decided the polish should shrink away from the tips. You know how that goes. The base color is OPI He's My Boo and I created the drips with China Glaze Limonyte. I got a new light today that I am absolutely in love with! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Looking at the mani this way, makes me think of cauldron smoking and bubbling. I love Halloween! Hocus Pocus comes out September 4th on Blu ray. </div>

Last year, I did the 31 day challenge and completed it. Today I am starting another. I've been short on inspiration so this is perfect timing for me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Today is day 1 and it called for red nails. I am going to try my hardest to do nail art each day instead of just color swatches and such.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted to do spun sugar nails. Looking back at the nails now, they look kind of morbid. The idea was a lot better in my head! It looks like blood spatter (I don't mind it so much I love the gory and morbid). It took around 10 minutes for it to get stringy enough to be able to pull it across.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I will definitely try this again. I think next time I will use candy like colors. I hope you enjoyed Day 1 of the 31 Cay Challenge. Remember to check back each day :)</div>

<br />
Today I am going to share some nails inc 3D glitters with you. Nails inc does glitter the way it's supposed to be. They are densely packed and more often than not, you can get away with just one coat of glittery goodness.<br />
<br />
First up is Marylebone.<br />

It's nearly impossible to show the purple mirco glitter in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The obvious is the silver and pink glitter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Up next is Maida Vale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maida Vale is described as a pastel silvery blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But honestly, I see it with purples as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This only required 1 coat of the polish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These polishes are amazing. They are densely packed and can be applied by just painting them on (unlike some glitter that needs to be dabbed). They have an incredibly drying time. That being said, they are thirsty for topcoat!!! They want it all and will stop at nothing. Ok ok I maybe exaggerating quite a bit but they do dry gritty without topcoat.</div>

What do you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm still unpacking at my new apartment and it's been extremely time consuming. I've still been doing my nails. These are not the best pictures as they were taken with my iPhone.<br />

It is one of my top 3 nail brands. They have such a wide variety of colors and finishes. I love the bottles as well as the polish names. They are available through www.sephora.com. I have a friend in England that ships me polishes that are only available over seas. Enough of this plain text. Onward to the colors and photos!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seven Dials is a soft yet vibrant jade green color. It only took 2 coats to achieve total opaqueness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seven Dials has a creme finish.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Foubert's Place has elements of grey, brown and dirty green. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the nails inc site, it's described as a cool grey khaki creme shade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used 2 coats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgKpLB2Nt1sIt975fcO_ixl2rznCt4tFS5yP5hS8NAc5BhrSdCKpx0wUnZyuuFfLtg-H5BTSmPiSwNOs921ZTX93PXjf8IHBZ83Dgo4lhvxqOMLZozHofBDkE1en_n5LDJPptLsIus5PXu/s1600/Paddington.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgKpLB2Nt1sIt975fcO_ixl2rznCt4tFS5yP5hS8NAc5BhrSdCKpx0wUnZyuuFfLtg-H5BTSmPiSwNOs921ZTX93PXjf8IHBZ83Dgo4lhvxqOMLZozHofBDkE1en_n5LDJPptLsIus5PXu/s640/Paddington.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paddington verges on the almost black scale. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a deep khaki grey creme. I used 2 coats but perhaps needed i3 because there was some pulling near the cuticles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My friend sent me this color and I haven't been able to find it on any site.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Porchester Place is a bright tangerine polish with hints of peach. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The formula is on the thin side but not hard to work with at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used 3 coats because of my ridge filled nails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Westminster is a gorgeous purple shade with red tones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It applied so beautifully (like all nails inc polishes).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used 2 coats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chelsea Emabankment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 coats. Small yellow gold glitter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It didn't dry gritty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually like the way it felt dry. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can;t really describe it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hampstead Gardens. 2 coats. Honey Mustard creme. This is a color most consider ugly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it! I don't really care if it doesn't go with my skin tone either. So pretty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope this finds you all well. I've. Even super busy with work, moving and buying car. Feels like everything happened all at once! Things are beginning to wind down and I have somehow figured out to balance it all including blogging. I do miss blogging a lot. <br />
<br />
I did this nail art last year but have decided to revisit and revise it. I love seeing how much I have improved. <br />
<br />
I also did a googly eye manicure. I have gotten a lot of comments on the googly eye mani. <br />
I am updating from my iPhone to see how the app is. I hope it posts well!!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've had this collection for quite some time now because my friend from the UK sent me them. They very recently became available at Sephora here in the US. I have for you, nails inc Sprinkles collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1YEc5l6GA_uo0B05a6n6lBp3Ec-n51Ly2tTy_z6b2W1ztsLhtguVNjy5TwcdiB9t46LiUFkZ2geb_R6Th37ZMh0c1BYlOtwQxYytiEcRucfgOxZj43Y4ENF7q8OzUcemhm-wsBSIziJkS/s1600/Sugar+House+Lane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1YEc5l6GA_uo0B05a6n6lBp3Ec-n51Ly2tTy_z6b2W1ztsLhtguVNjy5TwcdiB9t46LiUFkZ2geb_R6Th37ZMh0c1BYlOtwQxYytiEcRucfgOxZj43Y4ENF7q8OzUcemhm-wsBSIziJkS/s640/Sugar+House+Lane.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sugar House Lane is a light grayed brown base with matte black and silver glitter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used 2 coats because 1 coat had bald though if you applied it more carefully, you could get away with one.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pY9FPfq5Ky6h6VSO9WLl_CBQI1tonNdMS3bTvUuQRodfhGon-0ETSAOr-kbdMAv_7cPLaSteKQF7-zhIBUqUnrPMyibNN82Lk0sFaF3KFyG9rDABJ8rfC-OUuSnVVvCMqcdKL4T4vteh/s1600/Pudding+Lane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pY9FPfq5Ky6h6VSO9WLl_CBQI1tonNdMS3bTvUuQRodfhGon-0ETSAOr-kbdMAv_7cPLaSteKQF7-zhIBUqUnrPMyibNN82Lk0sFaF3KFyG9rDABJ8rfC-OUuSnVVvCMqcdKL4T4vteh/s640/Pudding+Lane.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pudding Lane is a blue based milky polish with navy and gold matte glitter. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the website, it's described as turquoise. But clearly it's a pastel blue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8CwwCvNM7th__VI5ATs4dnjsqQsXusKeQNu-XosxxIfR7PAPsXWLrceaQ8kx49-0oZ_FPD9CRdF8R4jTvVQDO9jSiYmqJDO6e1oIPhOlFieN-YHJPRKw_EkOzszN7pCB_iaCcYYXfTqes/s1600/Topping+Lane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8CwwCvNM7th__VI5ATs4dnjsqQsXusKeQNu-XosxxIfR7PAPsXWLrceaQ8kx49-0oZ_FPD9CRdF8R4jTvVQDO9jSiYmqJDO6e1oIPhOlFieN-YHJPRKw_EkOzszN7pCB_iaCcYYXfTqes/s640/Topping+Lane.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Topping Lane has cerise, silver and purple matter glitter in a pink base. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This seriously does look like frosting with sprinkles on top. Yum!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And last but definitely not least, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjUknsKB6mS_-y4CNqudCYYi-Y6t5LNpYd0H7z8MjXKmx0NH44XWh6ZosSaPsHHAqdIRh8cjmh4rMc_hw02PrjjZ1DsTosREqx134JY01LryjUfPE7cEhmSbHFe5V-5lQWkgluzD-P38oA/s1600/Topping+Lane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjUknsKB6mS_-y4CNqudCYYi-Y6t5LNpYd0H7z8MjXKmx0NH44XWh6ZosSaPsHHAqdIRh8cjmh4rMc_hw02PrjjZ1DsTosREqx134JY01LryjUfPE7cEhmSbHFe5V-5lQWkgluzD-P38oA/s640/Topping+Lane.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sweets Way is the one that looks like most like frosting with rainbow sprinkles.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is blue, pink, and silver matte glitter in a white milky base.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To be honest, the base look like it's a super super light pink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used 1 coat of polish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My overall impression is that this collection sincerely does not disappoint. Most of them at 2 coaters, though as I said, if applied carefully, you can get away with just 1 coat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The polish dries very gritty so a thicker top coat is called for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They are available on the nails inc website and retail for 11.00GP</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They are also available on sephora.com for $9.50.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Until tomorrow my lovelies,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Stay polished!</span></div>

<br />
<br />
BUT THIS IS!<br />
<br />
Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
Before we get to the manicure, I would like to say that I have finally figured out how to manage blogging and working. I work very very odd hours with the special needs population. Thanks to advice and tips from my friends in the polish community, I have been able to find a balance between the both.<br />
<br />
I am going to be moving in a month and a half (Eee! So nervous and excited!) and I have no idea how to transport such large amounts of polish! We shall see and I will keep everyone updated. So until then, I will not be using a light box because I am trying to purge what I move with.<br />
<br />
Today I have for you a gorgeous GORGEOUS manicure. And what makes it gorgeous is the gLORIous 22k Goldleaf topcoat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj709AW09FSuat9oqftGfPc9KzmsllSPOuMXZsGRLxh4eu1PCywukvt2w9ti3ct-j0w-x6nOzSfjX7HfbL9hSPs9sdZaG3z2d3Lyk7cK0poceJPFTjnyi0CdtSKe_ZqcmVBcvP2Yh8NOZ8y/s1600/Blue+and+gold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj709AW09FSuat9oqftGfPc9KzmsllSPOuMXZsGRLxh4eu1PCywukvt2w9ti3ct-j0w-x6nOzSfjX7HfbL9hSPs9sdZaG3z2d3Lyk7cK0poceJPFTjnyi0CdtSKe_ZqcmVBcvP2Yh8NOZ8y/s640/Blue+and+gold.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

I will give you a moment to take it all in....</div>

Ok, are you done? haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The topcoat didn't evenly distribute the goldleaf for me so I pulled some out with the brush and placed them where I wanted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I layered it over two coats of Zoya Robyn, a match made in heaven if you ask me.</div>

It feels great to be blogging again. My post real post was in February. Since then, I have been super busy working ridiculous hours at work. Despite not blogging, I still painted my nails every day.<br />
<br />
It's Friday and it's Great Gradient Friday in one of my nail communities!!!! And it's the long weekend (it doesn't matter to me, I work 15 hours on Sundays).<br />
<br />
So as of now, I am sure everyone has seen the amazing gradient tutorial <a href="http://www.thenailasaurus.com/">The Nailasaurus</a> has done. Well, <a href="http://the-swatchaholic.com/">The Swatchaholic</a> did an amazing nail gradient using Illamasqua pastels. I had to try it. I had all colors minus Wink so I used Essie Lilacism.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXN7LtVXA_hhuRN3TWMd5QMjINZS6vYAfpBsU6aUEUX7vxEPg8qi1yywqZMZmNfyiFlLuyco7aNWKZHN4o0nhd2Z-sAL_OQAmvF2rD3kijmKnBQjpOOVuaUw1j9BuhxjN8mBSBFmr4u1W/s1600/Gradient+Nails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXN7LtVXA_hhuRN3TWMd5QMjINZS6vYAfpBsU6aUEUX7vxEPg8qi1yywqZMZmNfyiFlLuyco7aNWKZHN4o0nhd2Z-sAL_OQAmvF2rD3kijmKnBQjpOOVuaUw1j9BuhxjN8mBSBFmr4u1W/s640/Gradient+Nails.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Colors Used:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Illamasqua Blow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Illasmasqua Caress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Illasmasqua Nudge</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Essie Lilacism</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Can I just say that I loooove the colors?!? It's absolutely amazing! My nails didn't come out as perfect as The Swatchaholic but I'm happy with it. I do need to get a different sponge. I have been using a makeup sponge and it leaves parts of it on the nail. I might just try using a kitchen sponge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to get back into the swing of things again. My lightbox got destroyed and I need to clean up my nails a bit better. With that being said, I am so happy with blogging again. I love my blog layout. Thank you to Sarah from <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/">Chalkboard Nails</a> who gave my blog a very much needed makeover. I love my new name. Everything has been just so exciting! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So until tomorrow!</div>

I was training for my new job for 3 weeks and have been working for the past 2. These past 5 weeks have been exhausting.<br />
<br />
I miss blogging. I changed my URL and blog name. Formally known as JeT'aime Lacquer to Technicolor Nails.<br />
I will be giving my site a makeover soon. So as off right now, this site is in the process of a makeover.Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05296356112388572590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402925040671082748.post-79376985845815637832012-02-27T17:49:00.000-05:002012-05-24T02:21:41.982-04:00We Lacked The Magnetix ConnectionHello my beautiful readers!<br />
<br />
I hope everyone had an amazing weekend. My weekend was fantastic! I can just hope that from here on out, things pick up.<br />
<br />
On Friday, my sister surprised me with some polishes from the China Glaze Magnetix collection. I could not wait to try them out! Without further ado...<br />
<br />

I did one finger at a time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I used one coat of polish and quickly put the magnet to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I count to 10 seconds then moved on to the next nail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put a topcoat on and the image just seemed to fade.</div>

The color is great but the magnet was not.</div>

Cling On.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This polish reacted the best to the magnet. The image was crisp and super clear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just need to practice with the placement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My overall thoughts on this collection?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love China Glaze but I am not loving this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Either the polish doesn't have enough iron</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the magnet isn't strong enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could't tell you why this polish fails compared to others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will not be purchasing any other colors from this collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think of this polish?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any tips on getting it to work?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
It's about that time that I crawl out from under my seasonally depressed rock. The winter just really bums me out! I really did try hard to update everyday. I took pictures of my manicure but just never posted them! I'll post them as time goes on.</div>

I hope everyone is well. I have been loving this weather we've been having. The only downfall of having a snowless winter is that I haven't been able to go sledding or tubing yet. A few days ago it was in the 60s here!!!! I am craving Spring and Summer!</div>
<div>

Today I have for you Lumpy Space Princess and some Lumpy Space People.</div>

Melissa, Lumpy Space Princess, Brad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melissa had an accident with my desk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She got smudged and somehow resembles Kirby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a lot of fun to do and I hardly used acrylic paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mainly used nail polish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHAT THE LUMP?!</div>

<br />
I hope every had a great weekend. This weekend was crazy. The people who live above my boyfriend, well, their pipe burst and it started raining in my boyfriend's apartment. We had to go about with an umbrella and rain boots until the property manager came.. It was 4 in the morning!<br />
I can't believe it's Tuesday already!<br />
Today I have for you a nail swatch. No nail art. I haven't had time.<br />

China Glaze Aquadelic is from the Electro Pop collection. It's a gorgeous aqua creme color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a bit of a problem applying this but with the second coat it was fine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a bit on the thick side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used this as the base for the Adventure Time BMO post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't have much of the Electro Pop collection but I fell in love with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be getting more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What colors do you like from the Electro Pop collection?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until tomorrow!</div>

<br />
This week has been tiresome. I had an endoscopy on Wednesday and I had an MRI today. I've been throwing up because of the stuff they have pumped into me. I am just happy that we are one step closer to find out why I have been so sick.<br />
<br />
I am continuing with my Adventure Time nail art. There is so much to do I am unsure of when I will be done!<br />
