New Ring!!!

Heyguesswhat?!?! I got a new engagement ring! I originally had a beautiful sapphire ring, the sapphire was purple that changed to blue in certain lighting.  But, stupid me, I lost it in the bathroom at school.  I have felt so horrible about it. But recently, my lovely Fiance said that I could pick out a new ring if I wanted. I had seen a beautiful blue opal ring at one of the zoo gift shops we went to recently, and knew that's what I wanted.  I found "the one" at our 4th of July festival in the park.  One of those booths with all the pretty handmade silver jewelry caught my eye. I was with my bestie Bob and I fell in love. The rest is history.
The next day I realized that I had nail polish that would match the opal perfectly, so I did a matchy-mani.  I think I might coin that. Here ya go!

The colors I used were China Glaze - Blue Year's Eve, and Zoya - Maisie.
BYE is a beautiful blue metal flake. Maisie is a teal flakie. The stamping design was from the new mash set and done in Orly Dazzle.  I loved this design so much I made some earrings for myself.

I have gauged ears and I got the idea of just painting existing earrings. I bought these for $3 (they had the words "epic fail" on them, lol irony) and just painted them. Cool huh?

Happy Manicures!

CopyCat

Actually It's called Monkey See Monkey Do monday.  I have seen this on a lot of blogs and since I get my inspiration from fellow bloggers I thought I'd participate in this.  It may not be every monday but today is one that is really cool.  Lucy over at Lucy's Stash did this design for a pink and blue challenge on June 6th.  I decided to copy it.  I did mine a little differently, I used Pink Voltage and Blue Year's Eve by China Glaze. She used Love's a Beach by China Glaze and Ibiza by Zoya.  I also added a rhinestone, way to be unique right?

So, besides being less than crisp, what do you think?  I love the pink and blue combo.  And this pink is eye blastingly bright by itself. Oh yeah, the rhinestones (or studs) came off my shirt while I was doing the manicure so I just stuck em on. LOL

Happy Manicures!

My first Zoya

So, I recently realized that there are 3 beauty shops within walking distance of my house.  Good news for me, bad news for my wallet.  I checked out one I had never been to a couple weeks ago and came home with my first zoya, Mayzie.  It's a beautiful teal jelly with green flakies in it.  The man at the shop said it should be opaque in 3 coats.  Well, I couldn't get it opaque in 6. So, I layered it over FingerPaints Blue Raspberry Taffy and it was gorgeous.  Even in the sunlight a photo doesn't do it justice. 

See? The flakies were iridescent! Gorgeous color. and a not bad paint job if I do say so myself.
Ok, well I'm going to go paint my nails again with some new stuff I got today.  Check back later!

Happy Manicures!
