This year my daughters start 7th grade. Man has gone flown. We missed the first day of school but this week starts the first official full week of classes. Below we have apples and pencils. I cannot wait to hear how much their friends love them.

Nail Polish Haul

Today we went to the local flea mark and usually I make out with a bottle or two of polish. Today was my first insane haul! After realizing how much I came home with, I had to look at the retail price. I spent $11 dollars and came home with 4 Sally Hansen gel polishes, 1 Sensationail gel polish, 1 OPI, 2 Essies,  1 neon Nail Art by Sally Hansen, and 2 Kleancolors. The gel polishes alone make me skip with joy. Happy Sunday!!

Package Days

Today was another package day. I picked up off of Amazon these gems. I ran out of the nail polish swatches with about 15 regular polishes to go. Then over this past weekend I purchased a gel polish uv lamp and some Gelish polish. I realized that I now have 15 more swatches I need. Ugh! Amazon has been my friend for all of this. These all came from China. I am excited about the brushes than anything. I cannot wait to try them all out!!

For The Love of Julep

I have searched high and low for Julep nail polish. I have had orders cancelled and run out before I had a chance to purchase it. I can finally say I own a bottle as of yesterday. The greatest things do come in small packages.

My Gel Nail Polish Journey

I have ways been a fan of regular nail polish. I have noticed that the top coat does matter. I have purchased many of them over the years, and seche vite was by far the best. While watching my journey my friends have asked what about gel. I never used gel before and I was a little apprehensive about it. Looking through the sales I found this. It was a steal of a deal. $35 for it all!! The uv lamp and 16 bottles of polish plus the base and top coat!! Where could you go wrong?? I so can't wait to use this and see if the 3 weeks really does happen.

Crayola Crayon Factory

This weekend my family and I are going to  the Crayola crayon factory. I still color even at my age. I think I am more excited than the kids. This little  mani felt very fitting.

Organize, Organize, Organize

This is how I am spending my Sunday. Trying to categorize 190 bottles is exhausting. I think I'm starting to forget my alphabet ...

Package Day Take 2

Today is yet another package day. There is nothing like the excitement of coming home after work and seeing a small package waiting. These were only a few dollars on Amazon. I don't have many Formula X polishes. These seemed like a good tester. Cannot wait to try them.

A Little Something About Me..

My first official post. Oh man am I nervous. Let's start with something about me. I am just a simple Mom who works hard during the day and at night, plays with as many colors of nail polish that she can fit on her nails. My wonderful husband supports me and my crazy addiction. My twin girls are my test subjects when I have a design I know I cant do on my own. My Bear and Little Monkey love it when I pull polish off my rack. Some days I cannot believe they are soon to be teenagers. My polish collection is pushing 170 bottles. I have my favorites, but any polish is worth a try just once. My Sinful Colors section takes up the most with 38 bottles!! I have found in my trial and errors that a good topcoat makes ALL the difference. I have tried a handful of them and nothing really compares to Seche Vite. At first I was hesitant on spending up to $10 for a single bottle, but after giving it a try, I don't think I can ever go back. I cannot wait to share my designs (past and future) with my readers. I plan on adding pictures of my collection, nail rack, tools, and everything else a fellow DIY'er may need. Also, I am all ears for designs to try. Please feel free to send me any suggestions. Thanks for reading and come back soon :) XoXo Felicia
