Guest NOTD: Finger Paints Autumn Moonlight

This is a lovely dark blue, that does not look black at any point like so many do.  Mom loved it.  From the Seduced by Fall Collection, this is Finger Paints Autumn Moonlight:

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.

NOTD: Bling Silver Tiger (Nubar Star Sparkle + M57)

I'm really sorry I've been all MIA all week ... it's just been a really long, busy, stressful week.  All I wanted to do in the evenings was veg out & so that's what I did.  I've been unable to get a hold of my regular stylist, so I had to find a new place to go & so not only had to switch up my normal routine, but meet new people & go new places ... all things that freak me out more than a little.  Socially phobic much LOL?  Then we were without email at work for almost 2 full days - I'm sure you can imagine the havoc that caused.

I've got a ton of ideas for this month - Halloween, Breast Cancer, Fall Leaves - and I feel sooo behind.  But at the same time, when blogging starts to feel like an obligation rather than an enjoyable hobby, I know it's time for a short break.  Although I did not take a break from nail painting =)  So I'm going to attempt to get caught up again, starting with this mani from last weekend.  I used Nubar Star Sparkle from the Sparkles Collection as the base, which is a silver glitter with a bit of holo in the mix.  Then I added some tiger stripes with Konad image plate m57 & Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme - double-stamped of course but I've always been pleasantly surprised how easy this pattern is to match up:

Much more to come tonight & this weekend so stay tuned for a crapload of NOTDs!  Thanks for reading.

NOTD: Gold & Black Water Marble + Tutorial

This was my mani last ... um, last Wednesday I think?  Like I said, I'm so far behind & no good reason, LOL I napped away most of my Sunday afternoon today instead of getting caught up with anything.  But I did want to get the pics for this posted up.  I used OPI Bling Dynasty & Baby It's Coal Outside:

 

 

An awesome thing actually happened last night - I hit one million views on YouTube!  It's kind of mind-boggling to me, I just never expected to see those kind of numbers, and within one year.  I'm still nervous as hell every time LOL, but I guess I'm not as bad as I used to be.  Anyway, Here's the tutorial: 

 

Thanks for reading =)

NOTD: Nubar Prize + m63

More proof of my spazz-ness, if any was needed - I am so far behind, I actually forgot I wore this mani stamped the 2nd day until I downloaded pics from my camera & saw these.  So that is why they were not included in the original post (HERE).  Base is Nubar Prize, stamping done with Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme & Konad image plate m57:
