Thanksgiving Mani - 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Today was a busy busy day. I didn't have time to do my nails last night or earlier in the morning. Luckily I was able to get them painted in a nice festive color. This is 2 coats of Spoiled Cougar Attack. I like that this polish dries fast so I was able to swipe it on and finish what I needed to do.

I'm thankful for my boyfriend and his family as well as the readers of my blog. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving or Thursday (for those that don't celebrate the holiday). What are you thankful for? What was your favorite dish today?

Jelly Sandwich: Spoiled Trust Fund Baby

I've been searching for Spoiled Trust Fund Baby for the longest. Finally I came across it in a CVS that I don't normally visit. I knew I wanted to do a jelly sandwich so my first combo was Sinful Colors Outrages with 1 coat of Trust Fund Baby topped with two coats of WnW Sugar Sugar. I wasn't thrilled with this combo but left it on anyways.

When I came home from work, I took off the polish. There was a little glitter left behind but since I wanted another jelly sandwich I didn't mind. So I added 2 coats of WnW Hush Hush plus a coat of Trust Fund Baby followed by another coat of Hush Hush. I liked this combo much better!

Girly-Girl Challenge - Day 1

I decided to participate in yet another nail challenge. This one was created by Lindsey of Neverland Nail Blog. This challenge is all about being a girly-girl and since I'm a total girly-girl, why not? Lindsey designed this challenge to last one month with two challenges per week. Lindsey will be posting on Tuesdays and Thursdays but we can post on whatever day works for us. I think I might be posting on Thursdays and Fridays, but Thursdays for sure. The first theme of this challenge is Think PINK! "Wear your favorite pink polish and nail art" (oops, I forgot the nail art)

Now if I would have followed the "rules" for this week's Pink Wednesday, I could have combined the two but I was excited to use Zeus with the pink shimmer soooo...anyways, here's my nails for day 1 of the Girly-Girl Challenge.

I used Revlon Posh Pink, Spoiled Jewelry Heist and WnW It's all in the Cut.

Spoiled Glitters

I honestly did not intend on buying anymore nail polish until my next check. I failed.

Last night, I went to CVS with Loro. I was headed to the Easter candy to look for Butterfinger Eggs and sadly they didn't have them. But on my way to the candy section I saw that the Spoiled display was restocked. In my head, I was thinking "oh this is bad". Luckily they didn't have all the glitters, so I was able to restrain myself. I did end up picking up two, Jewelry Heist and Cougar Attack.

Jewelry Heist was so pretty in the bottle, I thought it looked a little similar to OPI Teenage Dream and SH Strobe Light but had to have it regardless. I'm glad I did because they are not very similar at all. JH was awful to apply. The glitters stayed stuck in the brush, I didn't remember having this much trouble applying Shuffle the Deck. JH is large pink and gold glitters with smaller round gold glitters and small square holo glitters. In the pictures below, I applied JH just over a base coat.

 Brand: Spoiled
Color Name/Number: Jewelry Heist S068
Finish: glitter
Number of Coats: 3
Top Coat: no

 Cougar Attack is one of the polishes I wanted from the WnW On the Prowl collection. So when I saw it, I grabbed it. After seeing the original pictures of WnW Cougar Attack and Spoiled's version, I would say the two are basically the same. They should be anyways, since Spoiled is made by Wet n Wild. Oh and guess what?! Apparently Cougar Attack is similar to Deborah Lippmann Superstar, Vampy Varnish has a post comparing the two. CA is a brown jelly base with coppery orange glitters. This was easier to apply than JH.

 Brand: Spoiled
Color Name/Number: Cougar Attack S021
Finish: glitter
Number of Coats: 2
Top Coat: no

Valentine Confetti

I intended to get this posted on Saturday (during the day) but we all know how weekends can be. This NOTD is somewhat Valentine's Day related but can be worn at any time. I'm sure I will be doing this NOTD again.

First, let me share my newest Spoiled polish, I Tripped on the Carpet. The main reason I bought up this polish is because of the name. It made me laugh because I'm a clumsy girl and have actually tripped on the carpet. LOL. Anyways, ITOTC is a red shimmer that still has a visible nail line with 3 coats. I'm not good at describing whether reds are blue based or orange based but I will say that this polish appears red in all lighting.

Brand: Spoiled by Wet n Wild
Line: CVS exclusive
Color Name/Number: I Tripped on the Carpet/S028
Finish: Shimmer
Number of Coats: 3
Top Coat: no

Then, I added Spoiled Shuffle the Deck. The glitter in Shuffle the Deck applies scattered, so you have to put it where you want it. The first coat I just went across the nail but second coat (and maybe a third) I only applied towards the tip.

Lastly, I added Kleancolor Fuschia Glitter over the entire nail just letting the big holo glitters go wherever they wanted. I like how it turned out.
