My nails match my wallet!

Yes, I know, I've been MIA for a while from this blog. I hope to get back on track at least a little now. I have just been having so much fun over on Instagram! Seriously, if you're not on there, get on there now! This is coming from a chick who isn't on Facebook or any other social media besides this blog - and now Instagram. I have to say I am a bit obsessed with it. 

Today's mani is Sephora by OPI's Dance Till Fawn. It is so fab. It's a greyish brownish bit of loveliness and is the same color as my wallet, which probably amused me more than it should.

I used 2 coats of it and topped it off with Glisten and Glow's HK Girl Topcoat. Seriously - this is the best topcoat ever! My nails were dry in less than 2 minutes - and I mean dry!!! You can get it online at Glisten and Glow's online store and be sure to follow them on Instagram, too @glistenandglow1

And don't forget to follow me on there, too I'm @dcnails_n_at and I post a LOT of stuff - not just nails, but other stuff that I find amusing. There's also a link at the top of my blog's homepage. 

Happy thanksgiving

Here's what I'm wearing today:

China glaze mahogany magic with sinful colors pumpkin spice. Yay!

This is more festive than I thought it would be

Hello! It is currently snowing here and is really cold. I'm staying in today. I'm thankful I have a job that lets me do that!

Last night I did my nails and started with a random Sally Girl Color that I got for like 30-some cents this summer on clearance. It is a really pretty mallard green color with some shimmer in it. But, I couldn't just leave it by itself. I had to add glitter!

Here are the results:

This photo was taken on my porch. See the snow in the background? The glitter topper I used was from 2B bebe - a store in my local mall that sells really nice clothes and accessories. It's like bebe but cheaper. I got a 5-pack of glitter toppers there a few weeks ago for $2.50 because they were running a 50% off clearance sale! Whoot! This is one of the toppers. It is mallard-y green hexes with aqua blue and pink hexes. Very cute. This mani ended up being more Christmasey than I thought it would. I'm probably gonna change this for Thanksgiving. I want to wear my Sinful Colors Pumpkin Spice!

I can't stop looking at my fingers!

Ok. I'm kind of obsessed with this glitter bomb of a polish I'm wearing. I started with 2 coats of Sally Hansen CSM in Plum Luck and then did 1 coat of Dollish Polish's Sugar Rush. No topcoat. 

Here are the results:

Can you see why I'm distracted by my own nails?! This polish is the definition of a glitter bomb. The glitter is mostly matte, which makes me like it even more!

Even though some of the glitters in this are giant, I had no trouble getting them to lay on the brush. The bristles seemed to grab onto the glitters on its own. I can't wait to try this polish over a lighter color. I bet it would show up even more. I'm seriously in love with this glitter. 

It's true.

I'm on Instagram now!

I just signed up for it this weekend and am loving it. I post a lot more on there than I do on this blog, so if you're on Instagram, I'd love it if you'd join me. Yay!

Koopa Troopa

So, I may have gone on a bit of a nail polish binge this month. I made my first foray into indie polish with purchases from KBShimmer and Dollish Polish. I haven't used the KBShimmer ones yet (although I'm super excited to do so). I did however use Dollish Polish and am SOOOO impressed with the amount of glitter packed into this.

I found "The Koopa King" on clearance at Dollish Polish and could not resist. It's part of her gamer series and came out about a year ago. It was featured in a collection based on Nintendo characters. I wanted them all but decided finally on the Koopa King. It features different size golden yellow matte glitters, red and green hexes and black bar glitter. It also has teeny tiny white glitters (I think they are round?) and holographic diamond glitters. Yeah, that's about as much glitter as I've ever seen in a polish. The glitters are all in a clear base. I chose to put it over Zoya's Channing and I loooove it!

Here it is in all its glory!
