<3 Atlantis <3

I visited my local Sally Beauty to find China Glaze Khromes and this "Atlantis" glitter I was seeing in the blogosphere... I truly love this color. It's just complete and utter happiness in a bottle to me...or on my fingers or my toes...it's the one I put on when the days are gray and I need a little cheer. There's just so much going on in that teal jelly with holo sparkles.
This is also when I got my first bottle of Seche...and learned about "cuticle pull" and "tip pull" which I've since learned to avoid.

But of course, I couldn't leave it alone and all by itself, not when I had other new polishes to try! So I did my best, sans striper brush, to paint a gold stripe using China Glaze Twenty-Four K. The lines are sloppy, but I loved the combo and these nails got NOTICED! It's always fun when people actually notice what I've done...sometimes because I love it so, and other times because it took so friggin' long to do it! This one didn't take long, I just loved it. I really do need a back up bottle of this one.

Somedays, the phone cam does a good job.

New Year's Manicure

New Year's 2010...hoping this year will give us all a breather.

The Hubby and I didn't do anything special for New Years, we usually stay in and off the roads and I splurge on an expensive bottle of champagne. But I wanted to do something festive with my nails so I came up with this:

That's Sally Hansen's Celeb City (2 coats) with a single coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust on top, finished off with Seche Vite, of course. I felt like I had disco balls on my fingers! These were hot! They were kinda fun in the shade too:

They looked kind up textured and bumpy and a little fugly, (that's fun and ugly..what were YOU thinking?) And here they are blurry so you can really see the bling:
I wore these for the whole first week of 2010 since they were so fun. I hope you like them too!
