Sew Psyched for Roses!

Hey ladies! Today I have another long overdue beauty that has lived in my untried drawer for far too long. It was time it was used and graduated to my "green" drawer. LOL! This is Sew Psyched by Essie. So pretty! I got this in a little box set that came with 3 other colors from this collection. The small bottles are cute but now I wish I had a big bottle of this color because it's so amazing! Essie describes this as a cashmere soft sage pewter. I agree with the sage description and would only add that it has subtle silver micro-shimmer. 2 coats for full coverage.

I'm such a cornball. I told my boyfriend I was going to stamp flowers because I get "sew psyched" when he gives me flowers! LOL! *insert knee slap here* So I went with the full nail rose design on m65 by Konad. I stamped using Millennium by China Glaze (a silver). Only downside, I think stamping with silver killed the silver micro-shimmer. Maybe I'm crazy but now I don't see it! *stares at nails* Oh well! Still pretty!

On another note: 5 days 'til my 27th birthday!!! =) I'm so excited. I got myself the Pandora charm bracelet as a birthday gift. But I'm not wearing it until Sunday. Especially since I didn't buy any charms. My mom got me some charms but she won't let me have them until the day of my birthday. No point in wearing a charmless charm bracelet. LOL!

Now I just need to figure out how to paint my nails for that day. Any suggestions?

KOTD: PHD's Book Cover Challenge

Hey Ladies! 

This is a quick post to show my entry for Polish Hoarder Disorder's Book Cover Challenge.

Like the horrible blogger that I am, I can't remember how many coats this was since I'm backed up and this mani feels like it was such a long time ago!

This is OPI's "Dating a Royal." Is it a jelly? Is it a creme? I don't know. But it's blue and that is all that matters. This was either 2 or 3 coats. I'm almost certain it was 3. I love the tone of the color. However, I do have 1 complaint... This is the first time I can remember ever suffering from staining! I used a base coat and everything but my nails were sooooo stained when I took this color off. I wasn't a happy camper about that. But the color is worth it. LOL!

Then I stamped the full nail circles from M65 with Konad's Special Polish in white.

The Bluebook of Citations was my inspiration for this mani. I picked the circles to match the white spiral. It's funny how one of my favorite manicures was inspired by a book I despise! This book is the one we use a lot in law school to help us properly cite all the legal references in our writing. So tedious!

Anyways... Happy Polishing!

Sitting in my car....

I'm actually practically parked. Crazy what Miami traffic will do to you while you wait for the snails pace to quicken....it'll make you reconsider your 18-hour old polish job. Gonna change this look later cuz I'm sure hating it now. Blegh.

(Not a bad quality pic though, right? Way to go Blackberry!)

I know, I know.... I hadn't moisturized..... ugh.

I fear that this B-L-O-G-G-I-N-G is going to take over... (slowly but surely... mark my words!) And yes, gonna go moisturize RIGHT NOW! This is OPI's Do You Lilac It? and Parlez-Vous OPI?
