Manicure challenge- Week 3
Week 3- Your favorite polish
If you know me, you most likely know the answer to this one! Of my 250 bottles of polish, China Glaze- For Audrey wins this prize.
Although this may be surprising to some, since I'm such a pink girl. But I just adore this color for so many reasons. I love Tiffany blue, as every woman does. I love Audrey Hepburn- and Breakfast at Tiffany's is also my favorite movie of all time. And this polish is just so easy for me to throw on. I refer to it as my 'comfort polish.'
Here's For Audrey with some stampage and Hello Kitty in the mix :)
What do you think?

Week 1 Manicure Challenge!
A few of my girlfriends from a polish group I'm in and I are doing an 11 week mani challenge for fun. I'm definitely no nail artist, so, mine will be nothing compared to most of theirs- but, I just do it for fun! So, onto the challenge!
Week 1- Mani inspired by your favorite cause/charity
-I actually wanted to do something dedicated to ASPCA for this one. But, since they don't really have a paintable logo or set theme colors, there wasn't much I could do with it.
So, since this month is obviously Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I decided to honor that!
(Pre clean up, sorry!! Was on my way out the door)
(Pre clean up, sorry!! Was on my way out the door)
-Mani inside with no flash
-Outside in sunlight-
-What I used!
-And a quick PS, I won this Navy Blue shatter from Traci over at The Trace Face Philes in a giveaway, and it arrived yesterday! Yay! Thanks Trace! <3

Today's polish haul & Happy Birthdayyy Starfox!!
Well, today was a good day in Casa de Nalley/Boyd. Josh had the day off, so our mission was to make some progress in this house, since we've been slacking a bit the last week or so.
(Ok, so, by that maybe I mean I'VE been slacking. But that's neither here nor there, right?)
Anyhow, we slept in, watched two movies we Redboxed (Bad Teacher & Bridesmaids. Yes, again.), went to lunch, ran some errands, and attempted to put another dent into this neverending saga of unpacking/hanging things up!
However, the highlight amongst all of this was it was our Papillon, Starfox's second birthday! Yay!! So while we were on the hunt for the Color Club polishes I've been looking for, we obvi had to find him a little something. So, we decided to get him a Fox toy since that's his name :)
(Okay, and maybe because it was squeekie but didn't have stuffing inside for him to destroy within two seconds. But he doesn't have to know that, either.)
Where's the birthday boy, you ask?
(Or maybe you didn't, but just roll with it)
-Here's the birthday boy and Dakota playing with the new toy-
(Sorry for the blur, action shot and I'm no photog!)
-Posing for momma-
-Aspen's not interested if he isn't the highlight of attention-
-Daddy and Foxy cuddling after a long day-
-And last, but CERTAINLY not least..today's haul!!!-
-I FINALLY got the Color Club sets I've been lusting over! Well, 3 of them anyway ;) -
And also some new nail art pens, and I scored those 2 Revlons at Big Lots for a whopping $2!
-Close up of Boho and Foiled sets, because they're fab. Please excuse the flash.-
-Well, that about outlines my day :) Hope everyone else had a good Wednesday as well! Tomorrow continues more work on the house, and going to a friend's birthday dinner later on. That's all for now :)
xo,

Gone GONZO!
They're here!!
The OPI Muppets collection is out...and I was lucky enough to get my eager little hands on them before they hit the retailers. I had high hopes for this much anticipated collection, and let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed. I haven't been able to put them all on yet, but, I just HAD to swatch these babies in the meantime.
So...I bring to you, some swatchage!
--This is my first time blogging swatches, and these were taken from my Droid- so please pardon my inexperience and lack of a better camera. But the photos turned out true to color regardless!
And we begin with the roll call::
-Taken with no flash below, with flash above.-
Top row L to R: Gettin Miss Piggy With It, Fresh Frog of Bel Air, Excuse Moi!, Rainbow Connection, Gone Gonzo, Divine Swine
Bottom row L to R: Meep Meep Meep, Animal-istic, Wocka Wocka!, Pepe's Purple Passion, Warm and Fozzie, Designer..De Better!
First coat of the glitters:
Gettin Miss Piggy With It, Gone Gonzo, Rainbow Connection, Fresh Frog of Bel Air, Excuse Moi!, Divine Swine
Second coat:
^Above: Without flash, Below: With flash
As you can see- some colors are much more opaque than others.
Close up: Excuse Moi! & Divine Swine
(My personal favorites of the glitters)
First coat of the solids:
Meep Meep Meep, Animal-istic, Wocka Wocka!, Pepe's Purple Passion, Warm and Fozzie, Designer..De Better!
(As you see, Warm and Fozzie and Designer..De Better!
are almost transparent on the first coat.)
Second coat of the solids:
Big difference!
And because I was curious, here are Warm and Fozzie and Designer..De Better! with a third coat. So pretty, right?
And there you have it, ladies. Even more persuasion (as if you needed some) to jump on these sweet new babies.
Thanks for visiting!
