It's Fall Y'all

Hidy ho there!

Here where I live in western New York it sure is autumn. The nights have been crisp, the leaves have changed and we have had some frost and even a freeze. I live in what is known as "ski country" which means quite a bit of snow in the winter and it also means that I am surrounded by hills and more hills full of deciduous trees that are absolutely spectacular this time of year.

With so much autumn beauty around me I decided to celebrate the fall season with some super pretty glittery goodness.

 

 Isn't this pretty? A super quick mani that is very eye catching. The two polishes I used are China Glaze Harvest Moon and Lush Laquer Paradise Cove. Harvest Moon is a super gorgeous sparkly copper just like a new penny on steroids. Paradise Cove is an awesome glitter polish chuck full of copper and turquoise hexes in a few sizes and there are even some small blue bar glitters which lay very nicely and even better there seem to be some holo glitters as well! What more could you ask for?!

If you like glitter polishes I highly recommend Lush Laquer, none of their polishes is disappointing in any shape way or form! They can be found here on Etsy for $8.75 for a full 15ml bottle.

Hope your enjoying your fall, ta ta for now,
Tammy :)

It's Vintage Darling

Hi there!!!

It is day two of the Neverland Nail Blog's Time Warp Challenge. Today's challenge is called 'It's Vintage Darling' and we are to feature a look from the past. My inspiration is a look that was made popular in 1965 from a painting that came from 1930 and is still on trend today.

My nails are based on a dress by Yves Saint Laurent called the "Mondrian" Day Dress and it was on a cover of Vogue magazine. Ysl's inspiration is from a painting called Composition II in Red, Blue, Yellow.

The "Mondrian" look is everywhere, remember The Partridge Family's bus? Ever heard of color blocking? Are you on Pinterest and checking the nail looks there? Read nail blogs? I was really quite surprised to find so many things that have been inspired by a simple dress made in 1965.

Look mom I'm on the cover of Vogue!

This mani is probably one the most time consuming manis I have ever done, lining up all those little bits of striping tape requires quite a bit of patience, but once again this is something most anyone can do!

So what do you think? Looks pretty modern huh? Nope, It's Vintage Darling!

First Nail Challenge!!!

Hello there. Today I am participating in my first ever Nail Challenge! Neverland Nail Blog with Nail polish Canada is sponsoring it and it's called Let's Do The Time Warp Challenge. If I manage to figure things out here in Blogger world there will be little pics at the bottom of my post that link to others participating in the challenge.

So... day one of the challenge is titled 'I should have been born in.....' Well quite honestly I have always been pretty happy with the time I was born in so that is the decade I chose to depict on my nails. While I was wayyyyyyy toooo youuuung to have all the fun (he he) that a lot of people were having during this time I have always loved all the colors and graphics and music, etc. from the '60's!

Peace, Love and Flower Power Rule!!

GROOVY MAN

I'm still quite new to decorating my nails so freehand designs are not happening, this is stamping and dotting tools. There is a little learning curve but with a little practice anyone can do this!! Give it a whirl!

 

All the pretty little polishes I used, love love love colors!

 

 

The little pics I told ya about (hopefully) go ahead and click on them...

Ok so I can't figure out the in-linkz tool quite yet so here is a link to Neverland Nail Blog where you can see everyone else that is participating because she know how to use the tool (ha ha). 

I figured it out for real now, all I had to do was check my spam folder and follow the directions, dah.



 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

Tristam!

Today I am wearing A England's Tristam. This polish is absolutely amazing and second to none. If I could only own one brand of nail polish it would be A England without a doubt. You might think with such quality that there would be a high price tag but you would be wrong. A England polishes, depending on the exchange rate, are usually under 10 US dollars and they are shipped free. Every color I have used can be a one coat wonder so a bottle will go a long way.

Tristam is a gorgeous denim blue with linear holographic sparkle, think of your favorite blue jeans with a little bit of pizzazz added. I usually have trouble with blues being way too bold and brashy looking on me but not Tristam. It's truly a polish that can be worn any time of the year.

Enough gushing, onto the pics

Look at the lovely holo rainbow!

No garden or flowery pics today, just a England and all their beauty. Here's a pic of my current collection of A England polishes.

Go get yourself some A England polish and have an awesome day!
