Jordana 'Ruby Slippers' and Gold Stamp

Hello :)
And the venting begins...
When I though California was starting to warm up, we started getting more rain... Bummer. Don't get me wrong, I love rainy weather- only if I am staying inside. I feel like it has been raining and it has been raining on me. Although I do not always mention personal stuff here, I have had a tough week. Remember I was excited about getting a volunteering position in a local hospital? I was assigned to a cool post-op department and I was supposed to start training this week. My schedule was conflicting with that so I was placed in another department which I was really excited about... A few hours later, the person in charge called me saying that my position had been given to someone else, WHAT??? I know, it's nuts... Well, I had to just keep calm and carry on. Last night, I was peacefully checking my email when I read that one of my classes was permanently switched to a different day :( I was about to start training for a job at school, I had to switch to a different department at the hospital and then my class schedule got messed up. I was so upset last night, I couldn't even cry. Turns out I had to call my ex-future boss to tell him about this issue and I will not be working there... I should stop now,  this is a polish blog and I am feeling depressed again.

So here is a dark wine/red polish from Jordana called Ruby Slippers. It is amazingly rich and opaque with two light coats. It has some hints of fine shimmer and it is a very vampy-girly polish. I used the stamp on plate BM205 and I used Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold to stamp. I left my pinky nail without a stamp because I somewhat regretted not having worn the polish on its own :)

I hope you are all doing well :D

Week 52: Christmas Manicure (x2)!

Hello ladies and gents,
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas full of happiness, joy, family, and good food.

The first one was the one I intended to wear on Christmas but it chipped off so I did a second one...

Week 48: Feather Manicure

Hello there!

I apologize for dropping so suddenly in your blog list... Yes, it's me and I am back :)

I am so sorry for having been gone for so long. Let me do a short summary of what has been going on and why I hadn't blogged. My winter break started a week ago and prior to that I was stressed to the max because of finals. I had 2 finals for one same subject and I think I did not get any sleep during that week but I am glad it all paid off. Also, I was adjusting to a new schedule because I was chosen as a volunteer for a hospital and getting a spot there is not that easy. In the middle of my lack of sleep and new schedule, I was going through some rough emotional/sentimental turmoil... Everything settled and I am glad to be back, I hope you understand :)

I did these nails the week before finals and I think that they sort of look like peacock feathers. Here is what I used:
Base color: Zoya Zuza

Stamping plate and polish: BM212 and Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold

Dots: WnW fasdry Teal of Fortune, Kleancolor Metallic Fuchsia

Revlon Colorstay 'Blue Slate' and Stamping

Remember you can still vote for me for the Bundle Monster Halloween Contest

I was going through some clearance baskets at Target and I found my favorite blue polish of all times: Revlon Colorstay Blue Slate. I can't begin to explain how beautiful the color is; so rich, opaque in one coat, creme finish, not too blue, not too gray. I am in love with this shade and take into account that I am the kind of girl that is insecure about wearing blue-ish nail polish. To compliment it, I added a full nail design from plate B65 using Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold (a suggestion from soguesswhat11) which I am loving as well. Here are some pictures:
