Cara's Nails</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been staring at five of those beautiful Zoya Cashmere polishes sitting on my shelf for a few weeks now. I finally had the opportunity to try two of them out and wow! Zoya does not disappoint! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went with a simple half moon design using <b><i>Flynn</i></b> as a bottom color and <b><i>Sailor</i></b> as the overcoat. These colors are just wonderful. <b><i>Flynn</i></b> went on easily in two coats. How amazing is this color? Such a rich caramel. And Sailor is just as nice. This navy blue went on also in two coats. This color is great because I have been trying to find a good navy blue for years now and they always go too far in either the blue or the black direction. This one is just right!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Half moons always seem like a good idea until I have them on. I decided to change up this look with a more modern, straight moon shape. I finished the whole mani off with a coat of Essie <b><i>Good to Go</i></b>. I just want to end by saying<b><i> Good to Go,</i></b> you are dead to me! I tried to give this fast dry top coat a try but the shrinkage is ridiculous! In this case there was so much shrinkage it made my tips look like they are funny shaped! I will be picking up my trusty Seche Vite on my next trip to store.</div>

Cara's Nails </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted a few weeks back about picking up the ultra cool Leather Effects textured polish from Nails Inc. Today I wanted to show of the black polish, <b><i>Noho</i></b>. I cannot take credit for the idea to do a leather gradient. I saw <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/2013/09/31dc2013-day-10-nails-inc-leather.html">these beauties</a> on Chalkboard Nails a little while back and just fell in love. I sponged <b><i>Noho</i></b> with <b><i>Dalston</i></b> to get this gradient effect. It took about three applications to get rid of all the blotchy spots. The end result is a fun, simple mani in very little time. I am pretty happy with the end result!</div>

I was a good wife today and joined my husband at Comic-con. I say that but in all honesty I love going! People go all out for this event and it is really a great time!! It's no secret that I love me some super heroes! I thought I too would go all out in my own way by doing a themed manicure! I have seen these nails with the white glare a few times and just fell in love with the simple comic-y-ness of it. I paired this looks with the classic "Boom" and "Zap" action nails to get this Comic-con worthy manicure. </div>

I kept with primary colors because to me that screams classic comics! My primaries were China Glaze <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Salsa</span></b>, China Glaze <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #cccccc; color: yellow;">Happy Go Lucky</span></b> and Butter <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Blagger</span></b>. The black I used is Essence <b>Black is Back a</b>nd for white I used China Glaze <b>White on White</b>.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's football season again!!!!! This year, I decided that instead of doing a purple manicure each week, I'll do a manicure that represents that week's match up. This week the Ravens are taking on the Broncos in Denver. I can't wait for the game to start - I hope everyone has their purple on and is ready to go!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My life has been pretty hectic lately! Between vacations, moving, getting married, and school starting I have had very little time or energy to paint my nails. As a result I have relied heavily on textured polishes to keep my nails from being naked. I'm aware that I am a little behind on the times but I finally scored some of the Nails inc leather textured polishes. Previously <b>Noho</b>, the black polish, was only available in a package with Swarovski crystals and a price tag of $26. I'm a little too cheap for that! But now they are sold as individual polishes and in a variety of colors!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm showing off <b>Dalston</b>, a fun baby blue. The polish goes on glossy and gradual dries to give a leathery effect. I don't know how they do it but it looks just like leather! It was still a little blotchy after two coats so I went ahead and did three. The texture does seem to get lost a little with each coat. Overall I am pretty happy with this polish. What do you think? I'm looking forward to ricking the black tomorrow!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like just about everyone, I'm kind of addicted to chevron patterns lately. I had a few hours to kill last night, and decided to do a tape manicure. Since I knew I would have plenty of drying time, I decided to go for a multi-color chevron design. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems that I have moved on to the fall nail colors, even though it's still August. Sorry, hot pinks and bright blues... I'll see you regularly again next year!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't believe I haven't posted in almost a month! I was lacking some serious nail inspiration this summer, but I'm starting to do my nails regularly again (finally). In browsing <a href="http://pinterest.com/kmb3883/my-nail-art/">Pinterest </a>for design ideas, I came across <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/283445370270852047/">these</a> nails.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This lotion is tinted, and adds color to your legs. It goes on really dark, but blends in pretty well. It was a bit orange-y for my skin tone, though. The next day when I showered my shower turned brown/orange from this stuff, so I would avoid using it if you're headed to the beach or pool!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love that ModelCo always sends full size products! I love their mascara, and although I don't wear lipstick, I can see that this is a quality product. I tried it out around the house, and it didn't dry out my lips. It stayed on pretty well too. The color was a bit too bright for me to wear even on a special occasion, so I ended up giving this one away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having fallen in love with Dr. Jart+ BB Cream, I was excited to get another sample from this brand.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This color is called <i style="font-weight: bold;">London Calling. </i>Holy moly, this is a bright color! The colors in this collection are referred to as "neon pastels", which is totally accurate. This polish applied easily in two coats. Since it's so bright, I decided to tone it down with a little nail art. I paired it here with OPI's Eurso-Euro.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week, I spent a few days in Rhode Island for my family's annual vacation. Here are the nails I wore for most of the trip. They were inspired by <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com/2013/07/tutorial-beauty-and-beach-summer-nail.html">THESE awesome nails by Chalkboard Nails</a>. They are such a cute design, and I enjoyed doing my own version!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Between the Pixie Dust, Lovely, and Stunning collections, Zoya has produced some of my most favorite colors this year. I can't get enough of them! The only problem is waiting for my local Ulta to finally have them in stock!! This wood grain manicure was created using two of my Zoya greens. The base color is <b><i>Josie</i></b> from the Stunning summer collection. This is a great, pure grass green. Goes on nicely in two coats. The wood grain is <b><i>Neely</i></b> from the Lovely spring collection. This has to be my favorite minty green. I've used it a lot in previous entries. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the first time in my life that I have been tempted to find out what a lotion tastes like. These lotions (I got vanilla and coconut) smell AMAZING! Unfortunately that's where my love for them ends. The lotion is very greasy, and you can feel it on your skin all day. Definitely not what I'm looking for in a lotion!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the scent on this was a bit strange (not unpleasant, just strange), it's a nice cleanser. It starts off as a scrub, and then turns in to a foam. I used it on my heels and elbows, and it did a nice job of exfoliating!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been waiting for (what feels like) forever for Ulta to get the new Zoya collection. I have been dying to get my hands on <b><i>Josie</i></b>, which is a beautiful green polish (that I will be swatching very soon!). Ulta was conveniently having a buy two get one free sale, so I also picked up Yana and another Pixie Dust polish. I decided to wear Yana today, and wanted to pair it with a bright, fun design. The tribal design was all done with Zoya polishes, a striping brush, and a dotting tool. Any other Zoya enthusiasts out there? What is your favorite polish from the new collection?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These nails were a total accident. I started out with a completely different design, which I screwed up. I was feeling lazy, though, and didn't want to start over. So I decided to do a watercolor accent nail on top of the messed up design. Watercolor nails are done by putting drops of polish on the nail, and then using a brush soaked in acetone to thin and spread the polish. Not bad, for a cover-up design!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to a coupon, I was able to get this gorgeous new polish super cheap. This color, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Shocking Seas </i>by Maybelline, is my second polish purchase from their Color Show line. The formula in these polishes leaves something to be desired, but the colors are so fabulous that I'm willing to work with the formula issues. My nails are still in pretty rough shape (I've been taking some time off from nail art in order to help them get stronger), but they're getting better. For this manicure, I did an accent nail using a nail decal from Minx. This design is called "Technical Tribal". These decals are very easy to use, but unfortunately I find that they peel off a bit too easily. I didn't mind too much, since I only wore this manicure for a day. On my middle finger I layered one coat of Sally Hansen's <b><i>Strobe Light. </i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Textured polishes are all the rage this season. I have a hard time wearing these polishes because I feel like it limits the nail art potential. But they are perfect when I want fun nails but am too lazy to do anything too artsy. Sally Hansen is the newest brand to jump on the textured band wagon. Here I have <b><i>Fuzzy Fantasy</i></b> from the new Fuzzy Coat collection. This polish consists of lime green and white flecks in a clear polish. This is very similar to the Feathers collection from Nails Inc. but less expensive. Kate did a review of one of those polishes <a href="http://misc-manis.blogspot.com/2013/04/nails-inc-feathers-cornwall.html">here</a>. Here I have used two coats of <b><i>Fuzzy Fantasy</i></b> but I could have just as easily used one. I put it overtop of a double coat of OPI <b><i>Mod About You.</i></b> It coated nicely and I did not have any trouble with chunking. </div>
