Shocker and Rockstar Pink

The pretty silver nails lasted the entire weekend and finally chipped at the Sounds game last night.  I was kind of sad to see that, but excited to do something else.  As much as I love the look of glitter, I hate trying to take it off.  As you can tell, I still keep going back to it though. 

Rimmel 60 Second "Shocker" -base (1 coat)

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear- 2 coats

I won't always use the latest, greatest and most expensive polishes.  That was just proven by using the Rimmel.  It's hard to tell how long I've had that color, but as long as it still works, I'm not going to throw it out for something "new".  (I think that's where this blog may be different from many others out there.  They all seem to concentrate on the latest shades.)

Positive Energy and Queen of Beauty

I've been feeling rather "blah" about my nails.  They haven't really been anything all that special this week because sometimes I just don't have a lot of time to spend on them.  However, even though they are "plain" today, they're still really fun.

Happy Ending & Call You Later

Three polishes went into the making of today's nails. 
Sinful Colors--Happy Ending is the greeen "base" polish
Sinful Colors--Call You Later is the green glitter polish
Pure Ice-- I can't remember what it's called, is the teal-ish glitter polish

I wanted something bright and colorful to match the shirt I wanted to wear today so I sat down with my two storage containers to find just the right combination.  That's a LOT of glitter on my nails and I will probably HATE trying to take it all off later, but for now, I am pleased with how they turned out.

Gumdrop & Show Girl

Two of my newest polishes, Gumdrop & Show Girl, both from ORLY.  I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do when I started painting last night, but I knew I wanted to use both colors.  This is what I decided on.  Show Girl was a little thin and required 3 coats.  Gumdrop was only 2 coats.  Everything was freehand, tips & polka dots included. 

Traffic-Stopper-Copper

For a month or so, I'd go into Sephora and pick up Traffic-Stopper-Copper, only to put it back on the shelf.  I wasn't sure what I'd pair it with, but I just kept going back so I knew I had to have it.  Jaci suggested using a navy as the base color, but I couldn't find one that suited me and decided on black instead.  There has been many compliments on them so I'm glad I went for it.

It's an addiction

My name is Staci  and I have a nail polish addiction.  My nails get painted several times each week, usually each night.  I've been to nail salons with less polish than what I have at my house.  When I check into certain places on four square, Jaci knows I've gone after more polish, even if that wasn't the plan.  Jaci is going to be blogging here, as well.  :-)

I've always been addicted, but the Predators playoff nails started my major obsession.
That's it for now.
