The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week: Green Stripes

Day 4 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week but it is also a GOT Polish Challenge Day: Stripes! So I decided to do green mono stripes! And I am pretty happy with the way these turned out! Yep another tape mani for the win!

I started out with Finger Paints Sexy Sundress as my base. I then put two pieces of striping tape on the nail and proceeded to use my dotting tool to fill in the lines! On the three nails (accent nail is reverse order) it goes: Nubar Reclaim, China Glaze It's Alive, A England Dragon, and China Glaze Westside Warrior. All topped with HK Girl Top Coat.  

For the GOT Polish Challenge, each polish has to be a year old and haven't been used in the past year. Some of these (It's Alive) are way older than a year!

I definitely like this design, a bit time consuming but I can see myself doing it again!

Secret Snowflake Swap!

I'm back! And I didn't lose any photos! So happy! Ok, so today's post is my Secret Snowflake Swap that I got this month. I am part of a swap group and this is out Winter/Holiday themed swap! Nikki gave to me! So the above photo is an overview of the extras I got. A Tardis phone charm, River Song's Journal, Fuzzy socks (wore them on Christmas Day!), Mustache Ice Cube Tray!, and 3 adorable little makeup bags (which were filled with more goodies!).

Can't forget about the candy! Yummy! Most of this is gone now! :)

Here are some of the polishes: OPI Berlin There Done That, OPI French Quarter for Your Thoughts, and Nubar Reclaim! Woot woot! Love all of them!

More polish! Butter London Dosh, Dollish Polish Hylian Princess and The Hero of Time (these are the Zelda Duo)! So many lemmings crossed off my list!

Essence Peel Off Base Coat. I really wanted it to compare with Elmers glue! :)

Nailz Craze plate NC 01! Butterfly, peacock, and dandelion! What's not to love!

Mustache stickers! Too cute! Striping tape!

How adorable is this necklace? Owls and keys? Love both!

More owls! Love this! Wearing this bracelet right now as I am typing this! :)

Ok, now here is the funny part. I was wearing my Tardis shirt when I received this package and got all the Doctor Who stuff! So of course I had to take a photo of that! :)

Thank you Nikki I love it all! :)

Nail Haul!

Here is a picture of the polishes I bought while in Canada! So many pretties! :) Look at the all the colors!

Top Row (l-r): Joe Fresh Orchid, Joe Fresh Peacock, Joe Fresh Teal, Joe Fresh Hunter, Joe Fresh Moss, and Joe Fresh Eggplant.

Bottom Row (l-r): GOSH Fairytale, GOSH Ocean, GOSH Purple Heart, Duri Gin Greyhound, China Glaze Pelican Grey, Nubar Elegant Indigo, and Nubar Stylish Peacock.

I'm soo excited for these polishes! These are my first GOSH, Duri, and Nubar polishes! And so many new Teals to use for Teal Tuesdays! :)

This is some things I got on my way home from my trip and in my Birchbox. The lipgloss (gasp not polish!) is by Hard Candy and is called Glossaholic in Vanilla. And I finally found Pure Ice Rio! My Walmart never has it in stock. I'm super excited because now I have all the ones that Caitlin did in her awesome post Pure Ice Comparison (with macros). Yes! This little Color Club is from my Birchbox for March. It is a mini in He Loves Me. It's a super baby pink that isn't too my color. So I think I might franken with it! :)

Now for picture as to why I bought this lipgloss.....ready?

Yep! Those are flakies in a lipgloss! Oh yeah baby! How cool is that! $5 at Walmart! Comes in other flavors too! :)

And guess what. There is this awesome woman over at PAA who is just amazing. One day I get a message saying telling me that she has sent me a prize! I'm all like what!? Why, for what? Her answer: for being you.
Awwww! Isn't she awesome! The person I am talking about is April from Munia's Nails. Her and I have talked back and forth for awhile now and I would say that we are friends! (I hope she agrees! hahaha!) (I would think so!) She's always going on the awesome Dusty Hunting trips and scoring awesome finds! She's my Dusty Hunting Idol! :) Well, at the end of this past week, my "prize" came. You want to see it?

OPI DS Mystery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, My. Goodness! I was so shocked at receiving this! It was on my wishlist! It is a gorgeous deep purple polish with gold glitter. I know many people don't love this polish but I think it is regal! Love it!

Tried to get a macro of this polish but my camera is hating on me right now. So this is as good as I could get....blurry semi close shot. Sorry! But you can see the purple and the gold! Loverly right!?

Thank you thank you thank you so much April! I love love love it! :)

And I promise I do have plans for more swatches and nail art and tutorials and a new blog header! I do I really do! But this semester is kicking me! Ugh, only about 4 more weeks and I'll be done! I have a practicum this summer but I will have more time to play! So please, bear with me, I do have good intentions! And some awesome ideas that are going to explode soon because they need to be given life! :)
