Apothica Haul!

So awhile back I won a great giveaway from VEROblog and the prize was a $20 Apothica gift card. I knew immediately that I would be purchasing another Deborah Lippmann polish to add to my collection. Last time I bought a Lippmann it was a toss up between Lady Sings the Blues and Across the Universe. Lady Sings the Blues eventually won out but I knew I had to get my hands on Across the Universe. So obviously that is what I picked up with my gift card. To my surprise thought I had a little left on another gift card so I decided to try out some Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream that so many rave about.

Across the Universe is so beautiful in real life. My camera just could not capture all the beautiful green and blue glitter suspended in a navy blue jelly polish. I am so happy to have this polish in my collection now. 
I have to say I also love the Burt's Bees LBCC. It does not stink like some other Burt's Bees products I have tried in the past so that made me happy! I want to thank Veronica again from VEROblog, I appreciate you hosting the giveaway.

Water Marble Success

Happy Friday All! Today I have for you as promised my second full-on attempt of a water marble. If you follow me on Twitter I gave a sneak peak of this last night. I was so excited to show it off.  I have been wanting to try this again since my first time I attempted it. The first time I water marbled it was a disaster. They did not turn out the way I wanted and it literally took me 3 hours to do both hands. It was exhausting to say the least and I was a tad bit apprehensive to try it again. Boy am I glad I DID! Look how freaking cool this turned out. Had to showcase the thumb! L-R Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, Wet Concrete, Mellow Yellow. I used a base of Wet n Wild White Creme under the water marble. I used all Sally Hansen polishes for my water marble. I love this color scheme. My sister told me it looked very 70's. I agree! Many water marble tutorials out there tell you to use room temperature water. I tried that and I could not get the polishes to spread out. I finally u

Tropical Sunset

Happy Friday! Well I don't know about you but I wish I was on a beach somewhere. Instead I'm having to settle for nail art sunsets. I have to say this was quite easy to do, but I will say I am only showing you my left hand for a reason. My Thumb = My favorite! I got my inspiration from  IartKandi's YouTube video. Click the link to watch her video. Her tutorial is great and she taught me everything I know. This is the fist time I attempted sponging let along using a stripe brush to make a object. I mean stripes I have done but palm trees, definitely not. It went better than expected and I love the results. L-R  Glitzerland, Y'all Come Back Ya Hear?, Blazed, Dream Poppy, Black Striper, Makeup Sponge I laid down two coats of Glitzerland to make my nail opaque. I then put one coat of Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? over my whole nail. Next came the sponging which was quite fun. I sponged on Blazed first which is a coral so it blended the orange and the pink togeth
