Caribbean Blue French

I can keep complaining about our stupid Internet not working but that ain't gonna do anything so whenever my Internet is down, the BlogPress app will be my go-to for my future posts.

Now, here's a quick post.


This is China Glaze Caribbean Blue on my tips lined with silver glitter. Caribbean Blue is a bright light blue color with glass fleck shimmer. It's such a pretty color, I love it. I think I'm gonna have to try this on my entire nails to really appreciate the color and it's application. ;) For now, a french mani always puts a smile on my face :D

Next on polishedloveaffair:
*Swatches of my Zoya polish exchange. (late, I know. But better late than never eh?)
*A view of my newly built polish rack (thanks to my better half)

Love, Kristine

OPI My Private Jet and Missing Konad Stamper

I've been craving to do a konad manicure lately but I couldn't find my stamper. I searched and searched; and where did I find it? Under the couch! How did it look like? Like this:

The rubber part was missing! gah! Instead of the rubber part, I found chocolate wrappers inside of it! Of course I was mad, but I couldn't do anything at the moment because my little boy wasn't home with me. *Sigh* Oh the joy of motherhood :\

On the other hand, I needed a polish fix. Here is OPI My Private Jet (not the original)

I just picked this up tonight and was excited to try it out so these are all taken with flash. I'm not sure which of the many versions I have but I'm gonna guess it's not the original so if any of you know which one it is, that'll be great!

I can only imagine how much greater the orginal version would be from the looks of what I've seen from other bloggers who own the original MPJ. I'm just gonna settle with this version for now until I get my hands on the original one.

Which version do you have? Are you satisfied with it?

OPI Flower-to-Flower

I have for you here is OPI's Flower-to-Flower from the Summer Flutter Collection and Im just loving it!


I've only been wearing this a few hours and already have been getting compliments on it!


This reminds me of Bubbalicious Bubblegum and makes me want to pop a bubble :) The application was easy and if you're careful you get full coverage with two coats like I have here.


The last picture shows most acurate to it's color in person. Its a pretty bubble gum pink color with subtle microshimmer. I've been having trouble again with our Internet again. For some reason everytime I actually have time to post something, our Internet connection fails on me so here I am again on my iphone with this photo quality (sorry gals).

But here are better photos of my boy and my niece waiting patiently for their ice cream on a hot summer day ;)









Isn't she a cutie?
I hope you're all enjoying your summer while it lasts! Thanks for visiting!

I'm back!...with a mani =)

Hi all! I'm back! (finally!) I've been soooo super busy it's not even funny. Hopefully now my life has slowed down a bit to get back into regular manicures and postings. I've been so busy, my nails haven't had a real manicure or pedicure since I last made a mani post! I won't make any promises but I'd like to make at least  one post a week and more if I'm lucky ;). And I apologize for being gone for so long without notice. 

Without further ado, here is my mani: I'm not sure what to call it but it's a blue french with three stripes? =D

Base Coat: OPI Nail Envy

French Tip: Milani- Cyberspace

Stripes: NYX Black & Silver Nail Art Polish

I couldn't really capture the holo because the sun wasn't out to play but close up on the last picture, I magnified it and viola! you can see the holographic glitters! =)

Enjoy!

♥, Kristine

Let's Go Lakers! Ready for Game 7 & Giveaway Update

So I haven't posted for a while and honestly, I've just been too lazy and no inspiration...but I am still here =)
First, about the giveaway...here's an update on it: It's still going. You have 3 more days to enter! I've added two of my fave stuff to my giveaway.. Nail Envy Nail Strengthener (which I like to use as a base coat) and Solar Oil Cuticle Oil.

Good luck!

And now for the fun stuff. Since tonight is Game 7 Lakers vs. Celtics, I thought it would be fun to show some team spirit! I love the color purple and Kobe is pretty hott ;).

The design on my thumb and ring finger was inspired from this youtube video. I used no name polishes from ICING for the purple and the yellow,  OPI Chop-Sticking to My Story for the basketball and Konad Image Plate m52 for the basket ball print and ball. I hope you enjoyed this!

4 Years Ago Today.

This is just a little something I'd like to share with all of you (non-nail related).

4 years ago today, I married my best friend. I'm blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful man in my life. We've been together 9 years now and will be 10 years in August! Oh my, how time flies...

I love my life!

Milani Cyberspace & Konad IP m63

If you haven't tried Milani's line of 3D holographic nail polishes, what are you waiting for? I only have two and I love them both! I stamped it for fun with konad's IP m63 using OPI Ogre-the-top Blue. These photos were all taken indoors.
