TOTD: China Glaze Reggae to Riches

This is actually still on my toes & at this point badly in need of replacement - China Glaze Reggae to Riches:

 

Not sure when I'm going to actually go to bed, so I'm going to do some more editing, maybe some more posting or schedule a few posts for tomorrow.  This is still from November, so I've got a ways to go  to show you guys my holiday nails =)

 

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: Nubar Cherry Cordial

The other TOTD I have to show you is what's still on my toes - Nubar Cherry Cordial:

 

 

It's actually got a few chips, so I'd like to change it - but sandal season is officially gone LOL, so I'm not in a huge hurry any more either, since I'm the only one who'll see them for the next 6-8 months.

 

Thanks for reading =)

TOTD: China Glaze Electra Magenta

A couple TOTDs to show you guys.  This one almost got lost, it's from the end of September - from the Tronica collection, China Glaze Electra Magenta:

 

I liked it, but it was such a rush job it ended up chipping pretty quick & I think I only had it on for like a week.

 

Thanks for reading =)

TOTD: Claire's Fresh Water

Gorgeous, gorgeous turquoise blue - Claire's Fresh Water:

I was very disappointed that it didn't marble well =(  I wanted to have a matching design on my fingers =)

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: Icing Green with Envy

I've been taking such poor pedicure pics - like not remembering to take any until I'm about to take it off, instead of taking some at the beginning LOL.  Such is the case with this - one coat of Icing Green with Envy over one coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme:

 

I really liked this, but then I needed to switch it out quick - & how to you get rid of glitter quick?  Cover it up with more glitter!  I did another coat of black & a coat of Finger Paints Purple Palette, a purple glitter - it was awesome & I wore it like that for another 2 weeks - & managed not to take ANY pictures =(  I'm such a spazz & I have come to terms with that LOL.  I just changed my pedi though & managed to squeeze in some pics on only the 3rd day so I'm trying to get back on the right track =)

 

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: OPI Russian Navy + China Glaze Fairy Dust

I've really kind of sucked taking pictures of my pedicures lately, I keep forgetting until I've had them on like a week or so & they are no longer looking their absolute best - but I am still loving this combination & will probably keep it on another week =)  I started with a base of OPI Russian Navy & decided that it was too dark - looking down on my toes it just almost looked black.  So I added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust & awesomeness happened:

 

It's like a galaxy on my toes!  I love it a lot =)

 

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: Sally Hansen Pumping Iron

Not my best pedi pics - I'd already had this on for a few weeks & it was only when I started to consider what I wanted to change them to, did I realize I hadn't taken any pictures.  Sally Hansen Pumping Iron is from the new Hard as Nails line, and it's a nice smooth silver:

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: Revlon Red Velvet

So after so much editing & posting & etc over the weekend I came home today - after a fruitless search for a specific color polish I'll tell you guys about later - and totally vegged.  I made myself a smoothie (coconut Silk, Malibu rum, frozen pineapple, mango, peach YUM), sat myself down & finished my book.  And realized, along the way, that I have not even started the 2011 Book List around here.  I'll try to remedy that this week.  But for now I just wanted to get a post up before bed.

 

Revlon Red Velvet is a limited edition color that IIRC I picked up in a Big Lots haul.  I've had it on for a while, actually may be taking it off tomorrow - so here it is while it's still relevant:

 

Thanks for reading =)

TOTD: Maybelline Turquoise Seas

OK summer, I am ready for you!  Fresh pedicure & new sandals - ready to go.  Any time now.  Seriously.

 

I wanted something bright blue on my toes & chose Maybelline Turquoise Seas:

 

Are your toes ready for summer?  Thanks for reading =)

TOTD: Finger Paints What an Exhibition!

Just a basic red, but a nice one - Finger Paints What an Exhibition! 

 

 

Of course it's still far too cold here for sandals, but it is warmer than it has been =)  Thanks for reading.

TOTD: Claire's Homecoming Queen

Claire's Homecoming Queen is a bit brushstroke-y, but all the way down on my toes I don't mind too much:

 

Thanks for reading =)

TOTD: Claire's Glam

I've had this on for maybe a week but just got around to taking pics.  I thought it would be a fun bit of brightness - I also thought that it would wear great, as glitters usually do, but I see in this pics I've already got a piece peeled off =(  Maybe I'll just fill it in rather than change the whole thing... anyway, here is Claire's Glam:

 

Stayed home sick today, feeling both better & worse ... my head is clearing up which is good but unfortunately it's moved to my chest.  I'm not coughing out of control, but when I do cough it's pretty gross.  Planning to be back to work tomorrow though.

 

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: China Glaze Short & Sassy

Quick post, I'm off today & going on a holiday field trip with the family =)  I'll take lots of pics of course LOL.  Here's what's on my toes right now, I don't do them as often in the winter, but can't stand them bare - China Glaze Short & Sassy:

 

If you need a fix of holiday nail art, I put together a slideshow of last December's NOTD & posted up last night, you can check it out HERE on YouTube.  Also will be the featured vid in my YouTube widget until I get home later & get the poinsettia water marble tutorial edited.  Yes - poinsettia water marble & yes it is even more awesome that that sounds!  Stay tuned =)

 

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: China Glaze Yee-Haw

It's really too cold for sandals now, but I can't stand to have my toes naked.  I've had this on for quite a while now, but it still looks pretty good - I actually just got around to finishing the pics LOL.  2 of the below were taken today, 2 taken a little over a week ago.  From the Rodeo Diva collection, this is China Glaze Yee-Haw:

 

Thanks for reading.

TOTD: Hot Topic Silver

Stupid Hot Topic polishes without real names LOL.  & crappy bottles & brushes too, but I usually forgive them.  This Silver is no exception, it's so nice & metallic & chrome-y, a favorite pedi color for me:

 

These pics are like a week + old, but I do still have this on my toes.  Thanks for reading.

TOTD: Finger Paints Winter's Whisper

TOTD: Nubar Petunia Sparkle

This is another that was really hard to photograph.  It's pink - but for some reason the camera was reading it bluer, almost to the point of looking purple.  But it's pink.  The sunlight shot is closest to true color - this is Nubar Petunia Sparkle:

Thanks for reading.
