Opinions Needed! Help Me Pick a Polish!

Okay guys. I know I haven't posted in awhile, I STILL haven't found the cord to charge my camera ]: BUT I have a question for you all. Yesterday my mom bought me these shoes as a birthday present. They're to wear to a dance at the yacht club in a few weeks.

Any suggestions for which polish I should wear with them? I have some ideas but I like hearing other peoples' opinions.

Thanks!

Island Girl Waikiki Dream with OPI Skull & Gloss Bones

Happy Friday!! I've had a pretty nice day. I got up and went ice skating with my grandma and uncle. My dad was supposed to come visit with my stepmom and little brother but they had to bail. So I ended up coming home and making cupcakes! We have a potluck at the yacht club almost every other Friday and tonight is one of the potlucks. It's supposed to be a Valentines themed one I think. So I made some pink cupcakes. It was fun.

Anyways, on to my mani!

I apologize for the crappy cell phone pictures. My camera is dead and I can't seem to find the charger.

On my thumbs, pointer fingers and pinkies I used 2 coats of Island Girl Waikiki Dream. On my ring and middle fingers I used 2 coats of OPI Skull & Glossbones. Then I used Waikiki Dream again to add the polka dots. I NEVER get tired of polka dotted nails. Never ever. I really like these two polishes together by the way!! Probably because purple and gray are two of my favorite colors.

I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

China Glaze Cowgirl Up & A England Holy Grail

Hey everyone! I'm trying to stick with my blog [: I tore about my room looking for my camera cord so I could share pictures with you of my current mani!

I was inspired by this manicure Stephanie of Short'n Chic did last week. I chose very different colors but I still like it!

I've had ChG Cowgirl Up for quite awhile now. I believe it is one of the polishes my mom gave me for Christmas a couple years back. I don't wear it often, but I thought it might look pretty with A England Holy Grail. By the way, I never thought I would wear gold polish. I usually hate anything gold. I'm going to be honest, I only bought Holy Grail for the name. I'm silly that way. It makes me think of Monty Python. Anyways, I'm really glad I bought it because I love it. I've only had it for maybe 3 weeks and I've worn it quite a few times.

What do you think?

OPI Mad As A Hatter

I'm back! Well, maybe. I've been thinking about returning to blogging. The last few months I haven't really been myself. I even stopped painting my nails for a little while. That didn't stop me from buying polish though, or from reading other nail blogs. :D Anyways, I've gotten back into polish in the last couple weeks and there have been a few manis that I've REALLY wanted to share. So I think I'm going to try to ease back into blogging.

So, this is a mani from back in the summer, but I love this polish. OPI Mad As A Hatter is one of my favorites. I love all the colors in it! I've only worn it twice though. I don't want to go through it too quickly since I won't be able to get another bottle.

Anybody else have MAAH? What do you think of it?

Polish Storage

Hi! So.. as I'm sure you all know, I'm not really blogging anymore. I just moved and I don't have internet at my new place. I'm posting this from my parents' house. I'm there for dinner tonight. Anyway, just thought I would share this picture of some of my new polish storage. These shelves were there at my new place in the living room and I LOVE them. I'm not sure how many polishes there are on there, but the rest are in my helmer.

Anyway, I might occasionally post if I have internet, but I doubt it. Thanks to everyone who stuck around with me this last year and a half!

Weekend Pictures. Really Long!

Hi everyone. I'm feeling quite sick again today.. all morning at work I felt like I was going to collapse. Thank goodness my manager was working in a different department because I was moving SLOW and kept having to sit down.. otherwise I probably would have passed out. Or been sick. Anyways, today I just want to share some pictures from my weekend. I went to one of the yacht club's annual events at our private beach.. This event is where everyone dresses up like pirates.. or they're supposed to. They bring a band out to the island, there's a treasure hunt, one of the members makes a TON of carne asada. It's always a good time. We actually got warm weather for the first time! In the years past it's always rained at this event. I went hiking up this big hill and to the point to take pictures. I've been hiking up there ever since the first time I went to Inati Bay but I usually forget my camera.

Inati Bay. One of my favorite places to go.. It has been since I was 12. I've had some really good times there.

Some of the boats! More showed up later.

The whaler! This is what I came back in on Saturday night. I came over with my parents on our sailboat but they are cruising for the next 10 days so they didn't come back. Also, most people were staying the night Saturday. I had to work Sunday morning. I love whalers. They're so much fun.. I almost didn't get to go on any rides in the whaler this summer but my brother took me and Kathy out earlier in the day and then brought us home that night. FUN.

Everyone plugging their ears waiting for the canon to go off. The pirates are obsessed with the canon.

My auntie Susan and my older brother Jason french braiding Kathy's hair. Well, Jason tried. He decided he is going to become the master at french braiding hair when Kathy comes back to visit in December. He was all "I'm a pirate, I can do anything!" It was hilarious.

My FAVORITE picture from the weekend. I just love it up there.. The first time I hiked up was when I was 13 or so I think. I went with Jason and a bunch of his friends and I was terrified of falling. The hill to get up there is STEEP. I meant to take a picture of it. I remember they lined up and all helped me climb up and get back down. They all made sure I had a hand to hold which was awesome. Ever since then, whenever I go to Inati, I always climb up there. It's like my happy place or something. I always calm down up there.

More boats!

The beach! The band was playing under the white tent thingy.

Somebody heading out in a dinghy.. It looks fun.

Kathy! She really liked sitting there. I think it's an awesome picture.

One last picture that my aunt Susan took on her phone.. Me with Jason! And my little Wally dog.


So yeah! That's where I was Friday and Saturday. Friday I cried a lot, my head was killing me and people were lecturing me about my health and I just kind of lost it a bit. BUT it was also a good day. Before we left, I got to see my favorite uncle. He's in the national guard and has been gone most of this month for some training thing or something. I don't know. But he got a 24 hour leave and I got to see him for a few minutes Friday before we left. Then once we got to Inati I saw my big brother was there. I rarely see him anymore and he hung out with me a lot. It was like when I was younger and saw him all the time. I'm sure you all know we aren't actually related, that's pretty obvious in the picture.. I met Jason when I was 12, when my mom and stepdad first met and we became involved in the yacht club. He helped me get over my fear of boats. One day we were on the boat headed home, probably from Inati, and he said that my sisters and I needed an older brother to keep an eye on us or something and since we didn't have a real one, he would be it. I've been calling him my brother since then.. I also remember bragging in middle school about how I had the coolest brother ever. I had always wanted an older brother. I don't think my sisters still call him their brother but I could be wrong. He will always be my brother though. I love him TONS and I'm happy we've started talking a bit more lately.

Sorry for the ramblings. Can't help it. High five to anyone who makes it through this ridiculously long post!! I like talking about places and people I love though.

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend too!! Anybody do anything fun?

China Glaze Cherry Pie

Hey everybody. I wanted to get a post up tonight because I'll be gone the next 3 days. Well, tomorrow I'm off work at 9:30am but we are taking the boat out for the Buccaneer's Cruise. We aren't leaving until abut 5:30 tomorrow night but I need to get stuff ready and help load the boat and figure out a pirate outfit for Saturday. I'm coming home Saturday night unfortunately, since I work Sunday morning.. But after work I'm having another Disney marathon with my bestie. She's moving away in 2 weeks ]:

So anyways, here is China Glaze Cherry Pie. I got this in a blog sale and LOVEEEE it. It's one of my favorite pedicure colors. I find myself reaching for it a lot. If you click and make the pictures bigger it looks better.

Anybody else have this polish? What do you think of it? Also, does anyone else have any fun plans for the weekend? I'm sad that boating season is almost over.. I hardly got to spend any time on the boat this year. This growing up business is just no fun.
