OPI Spiderman Collection

On Friday I got my Spiderman Collection and I was so happy.  It is a beautiful collection.  I just wish there was a red in the collection.



From left to right:  My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Call Me Gwen-ever, Your Web or Mine, Just Spotted the Lizard, Into the Night, Number one Nemesis, Shatter the Scales.




Call  Me Gwen-ever




Your Web or Mine



Into the Night



Number One Nemesis



Number One Nemesis with Green Shatter


This is Just Spotted the Lizard which is a really cool polish.  It is a duo-chrome it starts with gold and in a different position switches to green.








Just Spotted the Lizard


My Boyfriend Scales Walls


Overall this is a great collection, just wish there was a red.  The formula is smooth and dries easily.  Although, the shatter does not show well, it does shatter when your polish is completely dry and with a layer of top coat it has a slight glittery shine.



Calling all Insomniacs

I found a fantastic product from Bath and Body Works that really helps me sleep.  I have sleep apnea and severe insomnia.  I use this stuff before I go to sleep and have a great night sleep.  It comes in Lavender/Vanilla and Lavender/Chamomile.  If you want to just try it it comes in small bottles for $5.00 a bottle.  They also often have buy 2 get one free.

I'm Back

Hi, everybody, I hope everyone has had a good week! I woke up to great news. I won Polish fixation's giveaway. She has a great blog if you want to check it out at http://polish fixation.com. I also got a lot of packages. A pair of Steve Madden wedges that I did fall flat on my butt in. I just laid on the floor and laughed and thought, "Am I too old to be wearing heels? Thought about it and said, nah". I got up and prayed I didn't fall around my husband because I knew where those shoes would be. I stayed steady all night but did order a pair of TOMS. If you are not familiar with them they are a low closed toe flat. I got those yesterday. Now, I am impressed with the company because for every pair of shoes they sell, they buy a pair for a child who needs one. I think that is pretty cool. So, I have also decided to turn our spare bedroom into the polish room. It will also house my yarn and notions because I really am into crafts. I finally made my way to California last summer and had to go to Venice Beach. It was wonderful. I grew up on the beach and really miss it. We do have beaches here but not like SOUTH PADRE ISLAND. What great memories of Spring Break, bonfires, and making sand castles with my kids. Then there were those quiet moments when I would take a blanket and sit out there till there was nothing I could hear but the crashing of the waves. I miss that. Well, I really wet off there. While in Venice I found the most beautiful shells, so I am going to make a shell mirror. I've always wanted one, so I will have my place to do that. Also to house shoes and an eight year collection of coach handbags. I can also take my little siestas that I like to take every now and then. So, even though I only have 6 followers I have decided to not give up just try harder make contact with bloggers I admire and "keep on, keeping on". So get ready because I am on a mission.

Nerd Lacquer

In case you have been on another universe everyone in the nail polish world knows that there is a great movement in the independant nail polish world.  It is new and exciting and I for one am totally on the band wagon.  Today I am wearing The Quantim Bluniverse.  It is duo chrome in that it changes from green to blue and has silver glitter.  It is a two coater and lasts several days.  I always use two coats of top coat.  Just out of habit.  I am not sure if this color is still available but totally worth the money.  NerdLacquer can be found on Etsy, Ninja Polish and Harlow and CO.

Zoya Polka Dots


I have both beach and surf collection from Zoya but I am sure anyone reading this has seen them all over the place I felt like doing something fun with the colors and this is what I came up with.  The texture and staying power of the polish is great but do need to note that Zuza and Wednesday (the blue ones of the collection) do stain your nails.  I usually use a buffer to get the stain out or you can try two coats of base coat.




I used Konad plates m 71  and  m64.
