SAY MY NAME!

Ok so Mr. Golden Sun did not show his face today like I thought he would. Tomorrow if he does I will make sure that I post a picture on my Facebook page.


So onto my last of the trio from Polish Yer Hooves!

The hubby and I were HUGE Breaking Bad fans, so when Leigh Anne told me that she named one of her new Star Grazers "Heifernberg's Blue Stuff". . . I knew that I must have it!


Heifernberg's Blue Stuff is a beautiful holo polish and I am absolutely in love! This polish applies really well and if the formula is anything like her other polishes. . . it is guaranteed to last a full week if not more with a good top coat!


I was not able to get a shot with the help from Mr. Golden Sun, but I did my best with the natural light that I could find!


Leigh Anne also included a smelly in this mini. I chose blueberry muffin for this one but you can choose from the following:

- Apple Cinnamon Streusel
- Baby Powder
- Berry BeWitching Brew
- Bite me Citrus
- Pumpkin Spice
- Chanel #5
- Chocolate Lover
- Chubba Wubba Wt. Loss
- French Lavender
- Fresh Cut Roses
- Hyacinth
- Lemongrass
- Lilac
- Opium type
- Peppermint
- Pina Colada
- Sandalwood
- Strawberry Cheesecake
- Vanilla Bean
- Vanilla Lavender

Adding a scent is only 50 cents extra. I recommend Blueberry Muffin. It smells so good I want to eat my fingers. Even after a topcoat you can still smell the yummy goodness. (Although, maybe not recommended if you are a nail biter ;) ).


A couple shots of the sparkly goodness!!!


Also, wouldn't be complete without a few prop shots! ;)


Can you tell I like my flowers?

Oh where for art thou sun?

Today I have another polish that Leigh Anne from Polish Yer Hooves sent me to review from her new Star Grazers line. See my previous post for the first of 3 reviews. :)

Now recently it has been very doom and gloom around here with the weather. I have been searching for the sun. This polish is a gorgeous dark purple but is a tricky little bugger to catch. ;) Nova and I chased down the sun this afternoon and I hope I was able to catch a tiny glimpse of the purple. Trust me though. It is GORGEOUS and I have to say. . . one of my favorite colors I own now!



Nova is wondering why we are stopped for so long. ;)


Another sun shot.


Can you see the purple? She is so tricky! Such a gorgeous sparkle in this polish!


This 3 free product came in such a cutesy little bottle.


You can order sets of 3 or 4 from the Star Grazers line on Leigh Anne's etsy page! -----> CLICK <----- This polish is pretty even without the sun. Altough, it looks closer to black if you don't catch the right angle.

With flash. . . (no purple caught boo)


Go order now!!! :) You will fall in love with Milky Way just like I did.

It's not a starry night outside due to the clouds but at least I can stare at my sparkly fingers. :)

Green with Envy for Polish Yer Hooves ;)

I gave a few hints that I would have something Moo-valous coming your way and here it is!!


Leigh Anne from Polish Yer Hooves asked me to review a few the polishes from her new line. The line is called Star Grazers.


I received my blogger pack of 3 mini polishes the other day and have been waiting to see if the sun will peek out to help show the beautiful sparkle. It does not look like that is going to happen until tomorrow. I am so excited though that I need to show you at least one of her beautiful new polishes TODAY!

Here is how the sweet minis come:


Super cute right?


They also came with cow confetti, a yummy treat (which did not last long!) and little packets of shaped glitters.



The one I am reviewing today is called Cash Cow. It is a really pretty light green color and FULL of sparkle. If you are anything like me. . . I LOVE sparkle. :)


Leigh Anne included a smelly in this mini. I chose pumpkin spice but you can choose from the following:

- Apple Cinnamon Streusel
- Baby Powder
- Berry BeWitching Brew
- Bite me Citrus
- Blueberry Muffin
- Chanel #5
- Chocolate Lover
- Chubba Wubba Wt. Loss
- French Lavender
- Fresh Cut Roses
- Hyacinth
- Lemongrass
- Lilac
- Opium type
- Peppermint
- Pina Colada
- Sandalwood
- Strawberry Cheesecake
- Vanilla Bean
- Vanilla Lavender

Adding a scent is only 50 cents extra and I say is worth it for sure! Even after a topcoat you can still smell the yummy goodness. (Although, maybe not recommended if you are a nail biter ;) ).


I used two thin coats to achieve this look:

This is with no flash.


With flash. . .



The above picture is with as much natural light as I could muster up. You can see the polish has a little bit of grit/roughness with no topcoat.


Here it is with flash to show a little bit of the sparkle.



I am not much of a texture girl so I added a topcoat to achieve more of a smooth look. :)

Matte About You ;)

Yet another challenge from my group of facebook girlies. . . this week was: Matte.

I wasn't sure if I had any matte polish but I did remember having bought a small China Glaze top coat from Sally's over the summer when it was on clearance. Last resort I would turn to the top coat.

Then I remembered what a wonderful hubby I have! He had bought me 10 Julep polishes from a lovely lady on facebook for our 1 year wedding anniversary. Not being a Maven myself, I have to resort to swaps usually to get my Julep fix. I checked my stash and sure enough I had a matte suede finish!!


I've never used any matte polishes before, but I am super impressed with how this one applied.

Ladies I give to you. . .


Julep Brit! :)



Isn't she beautiful? Brit is a one coat wonder! (I know you like hearing that!) Julep polishes are only 0.27 fl oz so only having to apply one coat means more manis out of that bottle. (Equals more for my money woohoo!)


This polish reminds me of molten metal. What do you think?


I'm always a fan of the beautiful bottle (even if it is less polish than other bottles offer). Did you hear the rumor that there will be Julep minis coming out? How cute! :)


Julep Brit = a keeper in my book! I think matte has won me over.

Aims and Nova mail :)

So lovelies. . . I am sick and it's rainy/gloomy outside. Depressing huh?

This is what I am pretty much drinking by the gallon along with my meds and vitamins.


Cute mug though huh? ;)




What better way to brighten my day than to come home to . . .




NAIL MAIL!


These beauties were won by yours truly in The Nail Files 2 year blog anniversary giveaway. :) You should go check out her blog ----> here. It is pretty great. :)


I would try them out right now . . . but I'm still admiring my beautiful Polish Yer Hooves - Cow Patty polish from my previous post!


I'm not the only one that got mail today though. . .


What is that? Nova is wondering too.



Only the best invention ever!!! It's a doggie doo bag from Wags and Wiggles. Look at the super cute design on the front!! There are tons more designs to choose from. :)



You know you want one too! Seriously, who wants to walk around with doo bags dangling from their hands? Here is the link to the store! :)

Perfect Fall brown!

I am super duper excited to be showing you this new polish today!


Nova is too!


Doesn't he look thrilled? hehe


This is a polish made by a new indie polish maker. Polish Yer Hooves! You can check out her Etsy store here. <--- Click! Trust me you won't be sorry. :) Her polishes are 3-Free and cruelty free. I was browsing the world of Facebook when I stumbled across this gem. I was instantly hooked to her witty names and theme. Super cute and original! All of her polishes have some sort of cow reference in them and I love it! I fell in love with her brown holo polish. Like she says "the perfect brown for fall." She is so right!


Here it is with no top coat. Look at the shimmery goodness!


Super cute bottles!!!!


Two coats of this beauty to achieve the look. :) Bet you want to know the name now don't you? You'll never guess it!!


hehehe

I promise it doesn't smell like it though! There is even a fragrance option when you buy, so you can make the polish smell like vanilla etc. :)


Maybe even a rose?



I can't wait to see it in the sun!


Leigh Anne has some new polishes coming out very soon. Check out her facebook page and give her a like!!!




This post is Nova approved! ;)

Chrome Girl

Earlier this week, I had to paint my nails black for a little contest I joined in on. We all had to take a picture of our nails painted all black on a plain background. The pictures are going to be posted on pinterest and we all have to guess who's mani belongs to who. For sake of keeping the mystery about my mani, I won't post the picture I took.


However, I did have to jazz it up a little bit after I was finished, because I didn't like the all black look. So depressing to me. Plus, I had said I would include pink or pink and blue manis this month. (Breast cancer awareness and infant/pregnancy loss awareness).


The polish I used for this mani was made by Chrome Girl. It is a newer line that has come out. 4-Free which means it doesn't have these nasty chemicals in it: formaldehyde, DBP, toluene or camphor.



This is Chrome Girl- Worth the Wait

A big thanks to A Girl and her Polish for sending me this polish I won in her giveaway! Go check out her site and follow! Amazing blog! :) Also follow the link to read her review about this beautiful polish!



I used Cheeky rhinestones and a star stud to achieve this look. :)

Dedicated to all the little ones taken too soon who are flying among the stars now.


The hubs doesn't like the black mani look. What do you guys think? ;)
