30 Day Untried Challenge...

Okay, I kind of failed at the challenge, with the holiday and the busy weekend I failed.  But honestly I don't entirely consider it a failure since pretty much everything I posted before I was doing it and the majority of which I intend to post soon are all untrieds.  So I'd been doing an untried challenge for months lol

So I have posts I intend to do soon, more swatches/mani's and hauls.  I need to post some nail mail too.  And I bought and order stuff on Black Friday and Cyber Monday so I already have things to post, and things coming to post.

I'll probably have upcoming eBay finds to post too when I get them.  I've been doing a lot of my Christmas shopping on eBay.  And admittedly getting a few things for myself too, I can't help it, some things are just too cute.

30 Day Untried Challenge - Day 24 - Rococo A-Go-Go + Black Pearl.

- These are my Black Friday nails (no clean up).

I used Orly Rococo A-Go-Go and Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers in Black Pearl for the accent with L.A. Colors Art Deco striper in Silver Glitter.

- When I told my gay husband Aaron I was doing Black Friday nails he told me I should glue little razor blades under my nails lol love him.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. And if you're shopping tomorrow, be safe.

30 Day Untried Challenge - Day 23 - Lincoln Square Lavender + Mega Watt.

- This is NYC Lincoln Square Lavender and the accent is LA Colors Mega Watt.

I really love the Lincoln Square Lavender but I'm not sure it was perfect with my skin tone, thoughts?


I thought I had real pictures of this but apparently I didn't take any, fail, at least I did get some even if it was just with my camera phone...
- And I'd been wanting one of the hats with the flaps for the ears. You'd think I'd own one I'm a Minnesotan but alas I did not. And I found a cute one at the dollar store, yay. Although I still want one of the cute hat/scarf combo things at Target...

Versatile Blogger Award!

I want to thank Sonia for nominating me for a Versatile Blogger award on her blog, she's such a sweetheart.



1. Lists 7 Things about yourself.
2. Pass this on to 15 other bloggers.

About me:

1. I have two melmers full of polish, a drawers full of eyeshadow and train cases full of lipgloss, (with other things mixed in a smaller train case such as mascaras and eyeliners.) I'm a bit obsessive.
2. I show my love for people by buying them things because that's the way I was taught.
3. I have two cats which are truly my children. I love my Milo and Leo.
4. I have 6 tattoos and want at least 6 more (or 17 more lol)
5. I also have a large collection of DVDs, books, pens, jewelry, clothes, etc.
6. I've kept a journal since I was 15, but sadly within the last year haven't been able to keep it - but I have almost 100 filled journals in a large trunk.
7. I'm a Minneapolis girl born and raised, but I did live in Montana on and off for two years and I did spend a few months in Texas.

Drum Roll!!
And the Awesome 15 are!!!

30 Day Untried Challenge - Day 22 - Revlon Violet.

- I am in love with this purple. I had a couple dollar off coupons for Revlon, one was a Target coupon, the other a manufacturer one, and I used them together and got this for a couple dollars (then they printed me out another 2 dollar coupon which is what I used when I got Revlon First Class, I love coupons). And I'm really glad I did.

- This is a great purple, is you love purples like I do I suggest picking this one up.

 And please ignore the random bits of blue glitter on my fingers, I did a layering combo with glitter after these photos, which I'm not sure if I'll share yet or not.

30 Day Untried Challenge - Day 21 - Jesse's Girl Mermaid Lagoon.

- This is another polish I got from Sonia.

It's Jesse's Girl Mermaid Lagoon. I love it. It's a teal with gold shimmer. Gorgeous.

In the first two photos the accent nail is Love & Beauty Champagne Toast, but this mani was too similar to another I've done so I changed it.
- So pretty.
- The accent nail here is China Glaze Concrete Catwalk.

30 Day Untried Challenge - Day 20 - Funky Fingers Curacao

- I did a trade with a lovely girl named Stacy and she was kind enough to send me a Funky Fingers polish because I don't have any access to them here.

This is Funky Fingers Curacao, which is suppose to be a dupe for Color Club Wicked Sweet I think.

And I'm sorry if the photo is sideways I keep trying to fix it and it won't fix, bad photo bad.
- I'm also wearing a polish on my accent nail I got from Sonia it's a Jesse's Girl polish in Blue Moon (No, no Jesse's Girl people it should be Purple Moon.), it had a really weird finish when it dried, like plastic kind of, and it dried so fast I actually pulled polish off my nail by the time I got to the other half of my nail. But yes it dried with a weird finish and I thought "Oh, idk about this but it has all this pretty shimmer/glitter in the bottle I bet it'll pop when I do a top coat. But it still fell a little flat. But the other Jesse's Girl polishes I got to try weren't like that and I heart them.

30 Day Untried Challenge - Day 18 - Color Club Santa's Cinnamon.

- This is Color Club's Santa's Cinnamon.

It makes your nails smell like you rubbed Big Red on them.   Which I really loved.
- I used Joe's book as my backdrop in these first two.


Again ignore those damn strings...
- There's something about the camera phone shots that make the sparkles almost seem like a flakie.
- Also I've hit 90 followers!!  Thank you everyone.  When I get to 100 I intend to try and do a giveaway (although if I hit 100 before next month the giveaway may not start til next month.) but feel free to pass along my blog URL to anyone you'd think might enjoy it!
