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!

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. :)

Simple, but I'm really obsessed with the OPI Holland Collection.

5. Actually, I haven't! I have so many shatter polishes from OPI that I never got around to trying out of the Sally Hansen ones.

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 :)

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

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.

Felt like studding up my nails this week.
