OPI Up Front & Personal

I won OPI Up Front & Personal from the Lacquer Lady's giveaway. It's a lovely champagne foil/glitter color. 4 coats. Still sheer but very pretty.

Woohoo USA!!!!! That was a very stressful game! So glad we made it through even though we had not one but TWO disallowed goals this cup that should have been counted!

Today's World Cup hotties are the Socceroos of Australia who played hard but were eliminated today. Special mention for Harry Kewell who couldn't play today because of a red card & Tim Cahill who was today's man of the match.

Thanks for reading!

Queens Metal Jewelry Giveaway! (Closed)

I won this necklace from the Queens Metal blog. I gave it to Ashley as a late Christmas present and she did her nails to match. She used Maybelline Gold Aluminum & China Glaze Millennium for this awesome french manicure.

This is a great simple piece that works well alone or layered with other necklaces, something Ashley is good at doing. Queens Metal has an amazing collection of unique pieces available on her Etsy shop. This Chrysler Ring is my favorite!

I asked the lovely Krista of Queens Metal if she would like to sponsor a giveaway for my readers and she said yes! Woohoo! it's open to EVERYONE WORLDWIDE and you can pick ANY item in her shop $40 and under!!!!

Maybelline Gold Aluminum

This is one of the four Maybelline polishes up for grabs in our giveaway! There are now links to the other three on the giveaway post. This was very easy to apply after a couple of drops of thinner. I could get away with one coat if I was careful. I actually like this gold with my skintone and this polish works great with Konad!
Don't forget to enter our Melvita Organic Skin Care giveaway & the $70 CSN Stores giveaway too!

Orgasm Slipery Slope (Most Embarrasing Nail Polish Name Ever)

Seriously, DO NOT do a Google image search for this one ladies! Especially at work!
This very pretty yellow gold. Not a color i like with my skintone though. You do have to be careful of brushstrokes, but the nice brush and formula make that pretty easy to do. I ended up with an almost smooth super metallic finish. This is 3 coats.
