Hi everyone! I hope all is well; I haven’t been updating this nail blog is SO long because life is so busy for us nowadays. I just wanted to share a recent mani that I posted on my Instagram (@caleemama) :)

This holiday mani was inspired by @stephstonenails, she is SO amazing! You have to look up her Tumblr & Instagram because she is quite a talented artist. Her mani was featured in Allure magazine, and once I saw it, I instantly ran to my polish collection & grabbed all the perfect colors. I used:

Zoya - Skye
OPI - Skull & Glossbones
Nubar - White Polka Dot
Seche Vite Top Coat

I absolutely LOVE the turn-out! It’s probably my favorite mani that I’ve done on myself all year (with the lack of time I have nowadays, doing my nails gets more and more exciting for me). As always, chunky glitter is a favorite!

Anyways, I know I’m not always on here, but you guys can always keep in touch with me through my INSTAGRAM: @caleemama & I’ll do my best to keep updating this blog as much as I can!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL! <3

Fiiiiinally! A new post!

So I (along with many people, I’m assuming) am so obsessed with the mint color this Spring! This color is called “Aphrodisiac” & it’s by Wonder Beauty Products (you can find her collection on Etsy here). With her collection, you basically receive a little palette/kit that includes a jar with the main color, a bottle of clear coat, and a mixing stick. You have to constantly mix the color in order to get the glitters around evenly, and I literally had to mix before applying each layer. It takes a bit of time, but I like that I can get the glitters mixed evenly and apply it well. You also have to use the brush of the clear coat to apply the color, so it was a bit of a hassle to clean the brush every time I had to put it back in the clear coat bottle. It’s a lot more work than your normal nail polish bottle, but the color was just so damn cute; I had to get it! The best part is that each palette only costs $10 each, and she even accepts custom orders! I think I may have to request a color of my own. :)

Overall, I loved the results. A gorgeous mint with gold & silver hex glitters & gold, silver & green micro glitters. The base mint color is not too bright/neon, and not too light, which is the perfect green for me. Lovesssss it.

1. Hi, I can definitely make one for your iPod Touch, but it doesn’t come in the vintage floral pattern, only in the blue floral pattern (http://www.etsy.com/listing/76907132/gold-brass-studded-blue-floral-ipod)..Otherwise, you can get one in a plain color? Just message me on Etsy :)

2. They are a bit on the lower quality level, however I love their colors & I love using them for nail art. And I love their price!

3. YES. I will soon :)

4. Before I dipped the decals in water & applied them to my nails, I cut them to fit my nails. It was really easy! I bought those water decals on eBay a while back.

I’m baaack! Sorry for the lack of posts; been on that school/work/motherhood grind. I’m trying to fit a Halloween manicure in tonight so hopefully I’ll have it up just in time!

What I’m wearing:
Chanel - Lotus Rouge

Honestly, I hate putting red on because it gets messy & stains so easily, but this nail polish applied flawlessly. IN LOVE. Seriously. Simple yet classy.

Hello calee :] is there something I can use for my Seche Vite top coat? It's so thick now and I haven't even used half of it. Thank you!

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 02:17:31 -0400

I hate it when it does that. Seche Vite tends to get thick once it hits almost halfway through the bottle. They have a special Seche Vite thinner for it that’ll help you out; I buy mine online :)

No matter what I do I have at least one nail chipped 24 hours after painting it. I've used nail polish as good as Butter London and I always use my Seche Vite top coat. Any tips?

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 02:16:18 -0400

Have you heard of the OPI Nail Envy line? I constantly hear & read about it. They have special formulas for different issues, and for chipping they have one called Chip Skip. Maybe that will work for you! You can use like 2 coats before applying your nail polish. I haven’t tried it personally, but if you do, let me know how it works.

1, 2 & 3. Dollar Nail Art will change your life.

4. I use an eyeliner brush from Target! It’s super cheap & works so well. I’ll try to do one soon..I always say this because I’m busy 24/7, but I’ll try to asap.

5. Could your nail polish be thick? You can try to buy a nail polish thinner to make the consistency better.

6. You can buy a base? Or for me I don’t even use my base anymore, my Seche Vite Top Coat works wonders!

YOU ARE THE WINNER OF THE REVLON GLITTER POLISHES & NAIL DECALS! Please contact me within 48 hours through my ask box with your full name & mailing address. I will send your nail polishes out soon after. Otherwise, another winner will be chosen at random (I have you all numbered). Thank you all for participating! More giveaways will be held in the future soon. <3

nail polish can't be shipped anywhere. its a flammable liquid and they will confiscate it and fine you. just saying.

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 23:29:00 -0400

OKAY since you are all SO concerned with me getting fined, I’ll restrict the giveaway to USA & CANADA only. I’ve previously shipped nail polish all over the place, no problem. This is the 2nd message I’ve gotten about this -_- I’m trying to give everyone an opportunity to win these polishes!

Sorry guys, blame the grey faces.

edit/

“Supposedly” and I say this because I’m not even quite sure about it that I may just mail it to whoever because I find it so unfair..but anyways..supposedly people have a distributor permit to ship things such as nail polish overseas, such as businesses. But I don’t know guys! I really want to make this available to everyone. I will verify this with the post office tomorrow.

Where did you buy the bm-201 plate ? :)

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 22:22:18 -0400

Amazon! Google up “Bundle Monster” :D

where's the nailpolish store that you found OPIs for only 4 dollars in? :O

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 21:40:07 -0400

Garden Grove my dear!
