On The Prowl: Cougar Attack

I love glitter. I do not love glitter by itself. The conclusion is I never paint glitter by itself. I also should have posted this one WEEKS ago but it got lost in my dozens of manicure pictures. Oops.
So it went on over this mocha colored Sinful Colors that I've already handed off to someone else so I don't even know which one it is!! Cougar Attack is copper colored glitter in a translucent brown base (not a jelly base).
This is the Sinful Color on its own.

And the accent nail fail. That's Zoya Gemma over the Sinful Color and it was not a lovely combination. However this Sinful Color made an incredible base to really make Cougar Attack shine!

I'm still here!

We have been having some serious computer issues and my husband has been waiting to install some protection on this computer. But all my software is back and the computer is now protected so we are ready to rock n' roll and I'm writing like a mad person and scheduling out this week in colors!! I feel inspired by the red post I recently did so here's what you can expect to see coming up:
  • A Zoya and Essie face-off in purple
  • Blue Dupe Alert!
  • My yellow collection
  • Orange - alicious
  • Greens are good for you
  • Red, red, and more red 
I do know I've recently done red but this rainbow of nail polish has left me feeling inspired:
Found on We Heart It: http://weheartit.com/entry/9639976. For now I leave you with this manicure:

Enough Chatter - Give them Polish!

So my first few blogs will be of some past manicures I've done. Lets swatch it up and stamp it out shall we?
 So this first on here is my St. Patty's Day manicure with Zoya Irene and stamped with Kona special polish in white and using Bundle Monster plate BM20 for the stamp. This was, literally, my second manicure so you will see through the progression of these next manicure that my nails get nicer shape to them and my cuticles get better.
 Here we have manicure number two using the scotch tape tutorial I found over at Rainbow and Sparkles. Tutorial here. The colors are a Sinful Colors I borrowed from a friend (for both base and stamp) and NYC Times Square Tangerine Creme (YUM!). The stars and arrows are also BM on plate #20.
Manicure 3 was a more subtle one I did after the Spring promo that Zoya did (Intimate Collection 1/2 off *dreamy sigh*). This is Gemma and I have to say I was slightly disappointed. The bottle shows this beautiful, earthy green (which it is) with a lovely purple sheen. The purple, sadly, doesn't show much even after 2 coats. Stamped with a brown also from BM.
