NOTD

WOW, it's really been a crazy week, with kids going 

back to school, getting things in order for upcoming 

holidays and family obligations, I haven't had a free 

moment to look at the complete disarray my nails were in.

Finally getting a few moments to breathe today, I sat back,

gave my nails some good ole' TLC and finished up with a 

very simple but very pretty mani.

Digging through my KleanColor polishes, I pulled out all the Fall colors 

to get ready for many upcoming tutorials,

 and decided to use

Military Green, layered with Starry Meteor today.

KleanColor in - Military Green

KleanColor in - Starry Meteor

I think I've finally got my schedule back in order and will resume nail tutorials this week, but for a few days, I get to stare at these beauties!

 

PURSENICKETY!!!

All girls have their little obsessions. 

And when I say obsessions, I mean that one "thing" that you just always have to have...that "thing", that when you see it, your heart goes a-flutter and you start to salivate.

Don't lie, you know you do!

For some, it may be shoes....

for some it may be makeup, 

and of course let's not forget nail polish!

But I'll admit here proudly, that I've got a serious "thing"

for handbags.

Purses, pocketbooks, whatever you want to call them, I MUST have them. 

They call to me, begging me to take them home!

While wandering around on, BetterAfter 

they were having an annoucement for their latest sponsor,

Pursenickety

If you aren't familiar with Pursenickety, then you are seriously missing out!

They offer an amazing selection of purses/handbags, that are ALL the latest fashions, straight from top designers and runways.

And on top of all that, they were also offering a special 30% coupon.

How was I to resist?

Yup, I didn't.

So here is the bag that I chose, I'm SO in love with it!

* DROOLS*

Marie Giraffe Print Spy Bag, inspired by FENDI

Very well made, and with oodles of compartments

And I just love the handles!

If you are a bag slut like me, LOL, you MUST check out Pursenickety, but make sure you bring a bib, because there are countless bags to drool over.

And speaking of bags, while thrifting the other day, 

I found this little gem.

This GORGEOUS  Kathy Van Zeeland bag

This baby retails for $ 95. but I got it for 5 bucks!!

I really haven't a clue why I got so lucky finding it, or why anyone would give this to the goodwill,  the bag looks like it's never been used!

Their loss, MY gain! :D

I just love the little bobbles she always has on her bags.

So cute, these two bags, plus a couple of others will keep me smiling right through Fall!

Abstract Peacock

Inspired by the tail of a Peacock, I came up with this very simple, yet very stunning look for Fall.

Another Fall Haul

If you don't know this by now...I'm a horror junkie. 

Anything eery, scary or creepy and I'm like fat kid in a candy shop.

So naturally, Halloween is my favorite holiday, and

 when I saw China Glaze's collection, "Awakening", 

obviously I had to have it.

Who cares if I have similar colors already,

just the names alone made it a MUST have for me.

But the other reason why I got it was because

Ick-a-bod-y reminded me of Fortune Teller

I was one of those poor unfortunate souls that was WAY too late to grab this amazing little gem. 

And though I'd LOVE to get my hands on this color, 

I'm not really up to paying $38 on E-Bay.

(Yes, this was the latest bid I've seen on there)

After playing around with it, it's no replacement for Fortune Teller

SIGH.

But still, it is a great color and does have a similar effect when paired with a black base and topped with Matte Magic

I'm thrilled with the set, and can't wait to use them

In my travels, I also picked up 2 colors from Color Club's latest collection,

"Untamed Luxury"

Snakeskin and Soft As Cashmere, as well as Plum Luck

from  Sally Hansen.

Plum Luck is exactly that, a rich plum cream. While I love plum, we shall see about this color, because it dries a bit darker...and I want a more vibrant plum.

Soft As Cashmere is a cool grayish taupe. A definite go-to color for Fall.

Snakeskin is the real winner of the bunch. A metallic gunmetal gray base with gold shimmer. 

Ohhh yeah, momma likes!!

Can't wait to use these and see what goodies I can create with them!

Shabby Chic Summer Rose

Again, another request from a YT subbie 

(I'm actually catching up on my requests, YAY!)

She asked for a Summer rose design, and this is what I came up with.
I love Shabby Chic

Newest Collections

Ok, so call me a dork, 

I'll wear the badge proudly, 

but I am SO in love with my two latest collections at

my Etsy shop, Littlest Charm Factory.

These button stacker's give the illusion of plugs, but without the pain or commitment. I'm a wuss when it comes to pain, SO I'm down with that.

These are the 12 colors I've got available, but I am always open to taking suggestions or custom colors and arrangements.

~**~

And my second collection, Silhouettes. 

Perhaps its just the simplicity of the shapes, or perhaps it's the 

stark black in contract with it's white background, but I've 

been obsessed with them for as long as I can remember.

Why not bring that beauty to a piece of jewelry?

Here's a few pieces from the collection. 

Aren't these fun? I have many up on the shop now, with loads more to come, especially some for Halloween  :)

( Giddy laugh)

To check out these collections, as rest of my goodies,

Elvis Presley featuring VivaLaNails

So, I've had several requests for an Elvis inspired look just over the last month alone...so I finally caved. 

LOL, I'm kidding, for someone who was weened on Elvis, 

it was a total blast to do these nails!

All the glitter and rhinestones were sent to me by VivaLaNails

for review purchases. 

The truth is, there is no one company that makes better rhinestones or

other various nail art accessories,

but what I can tell you is that VivaLaNails has an 

amazing selection of nail art & nail art accessories, which for me, makes me a loyal customer, because it saves me time, and energy and shipping!

2 thumbs WAY up for 1-stop shop!

Ok, so unto to the design

Elvis and his jumpsuits....how could I not do that design?!

Back To School

Several YT subbies requested I do a back to school look.

So I decided to a re-creation of a mani from another blogger

(and one that I'm secretly obsessed with)

 Melissa, from The Daily Nail 

Not following her blog? 

Then you are SERIOUSLY missing out!

Not only is she extremely talented, but she does the most fun and unique mani's edged with sharp-witted humor and cute, funny names.

But the best part?

She does a different one everyday!

This is my ode of sorts, to Melissa and her wonderful designs.

And I can only hope I have done her justice.
