Taking a little break

Hey dolls
 
I have some sad news. Ill be taking a little break  from blogging for now. As you know I haven't had much time latley to blog and it just getting worse and when I do have time to myself I honestly dont feel like writing up a post right now. However I will still be posting on my facebook page which you can get a link to on the blog or just type in "One Nail To Another". I may return after christmas but right now with everything and my new store I just dont have the time.
 
So sorry and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years <3 xoxoxox

Party Nails!!!!

Hey dolls!!!!
 
Thought id do a quick post and show you guys what I did today for my 25th birthday party tonight. I decided to do a pink theme since I loveeee pink. And since I love to bake of course I made my own cupcakes!!! I decided to do a dark chocolate cupcake with fresh raspberry icing!!! I even took fresh raspberries and simmered them down!! They are delicious!!!
 
 
I then decided to make some yummy Jell-o shooters!!! Since my favorite flavor is Fuzzy Navel (orange jell-o and peach schnapps) I used my pink Jell-o shooter cups to put them in.
 
 
And last but definatly not least the pink nails!!! I wanted pink but with a twist so I painted my nails with 4 coats of Billie Electric Pink, then used 2 coats of Julep Katie in different angels, and on Julep Kate I used a Black Stripe Rite to make Zebra print. I must say I really love the way these turned out!!
 
 
And that's the start of my party tonight!!! Now to go find something to wear to fit with my theme!! I hope you all have a great weekend <3

My first Girly Bits!!!!

Hey dolls!!!!
 
Oh man this week has been crazyyy!!! besides it being my birthday week, and then having manager training Ive been working so much its insane. I have been painting my nails just no time to write any posts. So here is a  quick one for ya tonight so that I can hopefully write a few and schedule them over the next few days :)
 
I got 2 Girly Bits minis in my birthday packages so I thought id ear them together. I used Razzle Dazzle and Purple Potion for this manicure. It took 3 coats of each to get fully opaque. The sparkle in these are insane the photo really doesn't do them any justice.
 
 
Aren't they gorgeous!!!!! I was really surprised how easy the removal was for these, I used regular base coat and taking it off by just rubbing with acetone only took about 10 minutes which was awesome!!!
 
Anyways look out for some new posts with some new Color Club and China Glaze releases!!!!

Fall Into Autumn: Favorite Sweater

Hey lovelies!!!!!
 
Hope you all are having a great week!!! Ive received more awesome nail mail that ill show you over the next few days with some swatches of some of the colors. I got some new great indies and a gold top coat!!!!
 
But for today I have a fall challenge for you guys. Today is your favorite sweater. I had a hard time with this one and ended up really wanting to wear some holo polishes so I did a holo stripe sweater on one hand. and on the other is a holo french manicure that looks like a banded sweater.
 
The silver I used was Make-up Store Greta, it took 3 coats to be fully opaque but that was without a proper Aqua base. The blue is Depend Denim Blue, which only took 1 coat over top of Gretta. I used striping tape to help make the lines :)
 
 
I couldn't believe how holo Greta was even in the shade. Its absolutly insane and I cant wait to try it out on a sunny day to see its true beauty!!!!!

Now if you want to see more awesome manicures, head on over to visit the other lovely ladies who are participating in this challenge!!!
