Shimmer Polish - Celine

Good morning, lovelies!

I woke up at about 4 o'clock this morning and felt compelled to start editing photos and pick up blogging again.  I've been a little uninspired and very exhausted this past month.  It's kind of taken the wind out of my blogging sails :\  I'm trying my best to fight it because I love nail art so much *sigh*.  Enough of that... Onto nails!!

Today I have another beautiful Shimmer Polish to share with you.  Her name?  Celine :)  (*disclaimer)...

 Colors Used:  Mentality - Tempest, Shimmer Polish - Celine

I went gaga when I unwrapped this one!  Celine is a mix of gold and holo glitters in a 

cranberry-jelly-base.  The sparkle of this polish in the sun... holy cannoli!!

I started with my burgundy base color.  I then applied 1 coat (yes, just 1!!) of Celine to my ring finger.  The thing I have loved most about working with Shimmer polishes is that the glitter is so compacted, you don't need to work hard to get it to apply beautifully.  I top coated and swiftly applied my owl.

Easy-peasy!

This is definitely one of those "on-the-go" mani's.  Glitters are great for sprucing up any manicure in my opinion ;)  Celine (and other oh-so-wonderful Shimmer's) can be found here on Etsy.

 Well, now that I've gotten a lot of editing done, posting should be a cinch right?  Lol we shall see...

Until next time!

My Mani's so far...

Hidey-ho and Happy Earth Day everybody!  My post for today consists of all the photos I've shared on my FB page with my girlfriends.  It was actually their positive support that pushed me to start this blog (hopefully I won't crash and burn!  haha).  All of these photos were taken with the camera on my HTC and a few of them have filters added because... well, I was just having a good time with my new phone :)  I was really surprised at how well the camera picked up true-to-life colors!  I'm no pro but I think the pics are decent.

I received the phone as a bday gift from my wonderful fiance (I will probably refer to him as my honey on a regular basis <3).  Around that same time I decided that the cost of getting my nails done, on a weekly basis, was taking away from our wedding savings. So I stopped going to the salon and started painting my nails myself.  And then I Googled images for inspiration.  And then I became obsessed!

Most of these photo's were inspired by photo's and tutorials I saw from A Girl And Her Polish, Chalkboard Nails, Copy That, Copy Cat, and Nailside.  A few were inspired by trends I saw on Pintrest.  And a couple I came up with on my  lonesome :)
