Sally Hansen HD water marble
I marbled all of Sally Hansen's HD Laser collection + OPI My Private Jet over my Essie Sew Psyched manicure and this is what came out...I love it...it looks like a oil slick or like I have foils on my nails...it's a bit more subtle than normal water marbles and you can see how sheer the colors are in the flash pics, but in normal and outdoor lighting my nails just look like oil slicks...I'll definitely be re-creating this manicure often in the future =D I got laxy for a couple of my nails and just dunked two fingers into the water marble for some of them...hence the crappy unmarbly fingers...but I think it made it even more oil-slicky looking since none of them are perfect...I still havent managed to get down the water marbling technique =( but i'm liking my crappy ones anyway =D

Essie - Sew Psyched
This is a new color from Essie called Sew psyched...I love this color but this is an absoloute dupe for RBL Diddy Mow...for almost half the price =p even the slight shimmer in the two polished are the same...you can see in the bottle comparison down on the bottom...application was great this was two coats besides my thumb which was just one coat...this color really is gorgeous its sucha chic greyed out green its subtle and awesome =D

Neon Paint Splattters
So I was looking at the Wah Nails website and got inspired to do these nails...I used the China Glaxe Poolside collection for the neon parts and dabbed some white to make it stand out more...I really loved these nails they turned out awesome....they remind me of a tye-dye tshirt all i did was smear different colored neons onto my nails while they were still wet and dab the white on top to break up all the intense neon colors...then I used the Sally Hansen art pen in black to draw in the paint splashes and peace signs

Deborah Lippmann - Across The Universe
I'm sure ya'll already know what polish this is...it is sooo beautiful I can't stop staring at my nails =D I love that the glitter makes your fingers sparkle green and blue flashes when you're moving around...application was awesome as usual...I used 3 thin coats here but 2 thick coats would've been fine I think

Strange Beautiful Olivey Mustard
Here's the swatch for the mustardy/olivey green from the batch of strange beautiful polishes that I got from Anthropology...I love this color and the application was awesome...I expected it to be a cream but it was actually a jelly...formula applied like Deborah Lippmann polishes I love their formula so far...this color was one of those ugly pretty colors that i loved but everyone else thought was a little weird haha

For this manicure I wore the bottom bottle olive green manicure for a couple days before I painted on those designs with some of the other colors in the collection cause I wanted to try on the colors so bad =P Swatches of the olive green coming...I LOVEEEE the formula on these polishes theyre awesome!

Deborah Lippmann - Supermodel
This is Deborah Lippmann - Supermodel...I absolutely love this color its so refreshing and chic...it's a sheer so you can see vnl but not too badly...you can see it a lot worst in my pics cause of the flash and closeup...i tried to explain to my friend what vnl was and that you could see it with this polish and his response was "all i see are cool red nails" so i guess thats the verdict =P
formula on this was absolutely amazing i loved it...i've already worn it a couple times and I'm wearing this for work tomorrow since it's a nice safe color but at the same time it's uber chic =D

Polish Hoarder Disorder Sponge Contest submission
Polish Hoarder Disorder had a contest last week and the theme was sponge art...so this was my entry...if you look closely my left and right hand are slightly different...I like my right hand better with the all gold tips instead of the diff colored tips on my left hand...what do u guys think? I've noticed my right hand usually ends up better cause I'll change things I didn't like on my left hand haha

Simple Fast manicure
this was just a nice simple design I think I'd had some pretty flashy manicures in a row and wanted something more neutral...I loved how this turned out and it was really easy since all i did was randomly put different sized/shaped rhinestones on a couple diff fingers....uberly easy and fast manicure
