I've started experimenting with watermarks and so far I have tried ezy watermark lite.  You can see how successful I was.  I got the watermarks on, but after I loaded them it rotated all my photos.  I guess I have some more tinkering to do.  
 Anyway, on to the polish.  This is Winchester from the wonderful Frenzy polish.  Gray with what looks to be like a bit of holographic and a scattering of silver and red glitters.  This is 3 thin coats.  A heavier hand could easily get away with two.


This was a really pretty polish.  I love everything that Frenzy makes and I love that this was inspired by the show Supernatural.  I love me some Jensen Ackles!  
I hope you enjoy this.  Have a wonderful Sunday, hug the ones you love and Namaste!

So today's mani was so much better in my head.  This shimmer polish is one of a set from Wet n Wild I got at Christmas time at the 99cent store.  I think there were 5 in all and they were somewhere between 3 and 5 dollars.  They were all really similar with just a slight color difference in each and no labeling to differentiate. Obviously they are meant to be worn over a darker polish, I just always like to see what these types of polish look like on their own first.  This one shifts from white to pink to blue.

The accent color I wore under is a Franken I made ages ago out of some polish that was mostly used up.  
I love this polish so much and it was just a freak happy accident.  It started out as Ponce de Lilac from OPI and clearly some sort of darker burgundy color and possibly a gold.  

Anyway, it was much prettier in my head.  Thankfully you can't see how badly I jacked up the tips.  Note to self - no coffee before attempting a funky french.
I hope you have a great day, hug the ones you love and Namaste!

Hello all!  Today's mani is brought to you by what I consider to be a "sleeper" polish.  This is Sally Hansen's Sand Lots.  I got this in a 4 pack at Ross, and got the pack for only one of the polishes - not this one.  In fact I didn't even think I'd like it.  
 It's not really a color that reaches out and grabs your attention.  It's a peachy, shimmery nude and in the bottle looks like something that would have been big in the 70's.  However, it sneaks up on you.  It's really pretty when you have a good tan and so elegant when you stamped with black.  I'm wearing 2 coats here, some people would probably prefer 3.  Mine is a very thin formula and has a tendency to get little air bubbles, but I don't mind.  I did a quick search and did find it on Amazon, but for about $30.  There are enough similar ones out there that you don't need to pay that much.
 I layered Kite Island from A Rhyming Dictionary over the top.  I love this glitter topper.  It's no longer available on her Etsy shop though, sorry.  It's a very summery orange and blue glitter, with orange micro glitter and the occasional white.  
 I like this best when it's just a thin coat.  I've even worn it just by itself, with one thin coat and really loved the simplicity of it.  I have come across it in a destash (don't remember which one) so it is still out there, but again there are tons of glitter topper combos out there to play with.  
I hope you like this!  Have a great day, hug the ones you love, and Namaste!

Hello all!  Today I'm wearing a lovely prototype the amazing Melissa from MDJcreations sent me with an order.  She is one of my favorite indie brands and no one appreciates her customers (and shows it) more than her.  
 This is so beautiful.  Pink with microglitter, diamond shaped glitter, bar glitter, some fuchsia glitter and a scattering of some other glittery goodness.
 In some light it's almost a purply pink.  Just love.  It will definitely be in my top faves of the year.
While you may not be able to purchase this she did just add some other beautiful newbies to her shop you should check out.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/MDJcreations
Have a great day, hug the ones you love and Namaste.
