NOTD: Essie Damsel in a Dress + M37

Late, but I'm pretty awake for some reason. This was my NOTD Tuesday & Wednesday of this week; Essie Damsel in a Dress is gorgeous, I've had it for a long time & never worn it yet. Pretty as it is, it needed a little more, and I stamped with China Glaze Millennium & Konad image plate m37 - got to keep up my stamping skillz LOL, you can see a couple of them are a little crooked so I don't want to get any rustier!  The sun & shade pics were taken on the 2nd day so excuse the tipwear:

In addition to the rest of my NOTDs this week, I have 2 hauls to post up this weekend, one from Avon & one from Nubar. I went ... well, I refuse to say overboard, but I went beyond restraint & perhaps common sense. Thus the aforementioned no-buy. I've even put myself on the fence about Orly's Cosmic FX because I might feel a tad bit guilty spending more money on polish at the moment. But we'll see. That feeling may go away tomorrow XD

Thanks for reading.

NOTD: China Glaze Electric Lilac

Monday's NOTD, from last summer's release of glitters, China Glaze Electric Lilac.  This was 4 coats to get it 99% opaque, it was pretty smooth but after that many layers quite thick.  Hard to capture in pics, way more bling & more holo, but I gave it my best including a blurry shot for a taste of the holo:

I'm going to embellish my current mani a bit & then get to bed, still not quite caught up but at least no longer so far behind =)  Thanks for reading.

TOTD: BB Couture Adios Mo Fo

Got a few pics edited so I'm going to post up a portion =)  This is my current pedicure, which I did on I think Saturday.  BB Couture Adios Mo Fo:

 

 

I wasn't quite sure I liked it on my toes but it's grown on me =)  This also happens to be my mom's current mani, but she said she didn't see the name before she put it on & now she's mildly appalled!  LOL she said if anyone asked her what it was called she would just tell them Adios XD  Thanks for reading.

Pretty polish pics tomorrow, promise =)  Comments too I hope & a tutorial because it's been like a week since I did a video & that was just a slideshow ...

 

Thanks for reading.

Sidetracked ... Ouch =(

I had literally just decided not to change my nails, to edit some pics & get caught up posting instead.  Then this happened to my right pinky:

 

 

I somehow bent it totally backwards on the arm of my chair.  I will warn you before this next pic, that this is polish, not blood ... mostly.  I think.  Although it hurt enough taking the polish off there very well could be some blood, but I'm going to continue telling myself it's polish:

 

 

This seriously hurt so bad the last thing I wanted was to take the polish off, but it is obviously way too low into my nail bed to chop off so I needed to patch it.  Instead of editing pics & answering comments which I did so well with for a little while LOL. 

 

Tomorrow I have a hair appointment & then when I get home I need to make a fruit tart so I don't know that I'll have time then either, grrr.  But I've got so far 2x NOTD & 1x TOTD & soon will have 2 hauls to show & then have to go on a no-buy...  Except for the Orly Cosmix FX collection, that is already budgeted for LOL.  But my Nubar order got kind of out of control, so I need to content myself with what I have for a while, like until Christmas XD

 

Thanks for reading.
