<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the last couple of years, I've really started to love nails and polish, and especially nail art. I figured I would have to wait for my youngest daughter to start school (in 3 years) before I would be able to go to nail school. Then I heard about a school in town that was going to have a night class! Now with some amazing friends and neighbors, and my wonderful, supportive husband, I'm making my dream come true! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing I did was go and take a tour of the school, I decided I needed to have awesome nails for the occasion, so I went with a neon gradient with chevrons! Because who doesn't love chevrons right now??</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used SquareHue- Kalver Straat and P.C. Hooft Straat for my gradient, then stamped the chevrons with Milani- White on the Spot and Messy Mansion plate MM12.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After taking the tour, I was really excited. It took awhile working with the bank to get the finance side all figured out, and then the day came to go in and fill out paperwork and sign a contract! It was finally really going to happen!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For these, I randomly sponged on Sally Hansen Insta-dri- Pink Blink, Essie- Mint Candy Apple, Loreal- Meant to Be, and NYC- Water Street Blue. Then I stamped with Milani- White on the Spot and Pueen 26.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then came my first day of school!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used SquareHue- Placa Catalunya and Rambla de Raval for my gradient, and I absolutely loved how that turned out! Then I stamped with Konad Black and BM-223. </div>

Today I have something new and exciting to share with you all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to have been given the opportunity to review some items from the Born Pretty Store. The first thing I have to share is a new stamping plate! I love stamping, there are so many fun possibilities! This is the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/nail-stamp-template-quirky-arabesque-pattern-qa88-p-15087.html">Quirky Arabesque Plate</a>. It's only $2.99 on their site! Isn't is awesome!?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Konad Special Black stamping polish, and the whole plate stamps amazing! Look how crisp and beautiful that looks!</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided while stamping that this would be the perfect time to try the leadlighting technique I've been wanting to try! So I grabbed some jellies and dotting tools and got started! I used OPI- I Theodora You, Loreal- Berry Nice, and LA Colors- Aquatic. I definitely need some more jellies to try this again, but it was a lot of fun, and I love how it turned out! I can't wait to play with this plate more!</div>

I saw a post recently in the Polishaholics Annoymous Facebook group about a holographic top coat. The ability to make every polish holo? Tell me more! Jenn, the maker of Daily Hues Lacquer posted some swatches of before and after applying Ricca, her holo topcoat, and I was sold! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my first look using my amazing new discovery. This is 3 coats of SquareHue- Happy creme, topped with 2 coats of Daily Hues-Ricca. So much gorgeous.</div>

I just LOVE how this one turned out. I didn't get a very good picture of it in the sunlight, it was overcast the entire next day that I was wearing it. The lightbox just doesn't do it justice. It's incredible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get your own bottle of Ricca, <a href="http://www.storenvy.com/products/6462961-ricca-true-holographic-top-coat">GO HERE!!</a> She also just listed her new summer line, and they are gorgeous as well! </div>

Last is Copacabana, a bright, gorgeous blue glitter. This one is packed full of turquoise and holographic glitter. The picture absolutely doesn't do it justice. It's an amazing glitter bomb. I used 4 coats with no top coat for this swatch. It could use some undies though for more opacity.</div>

Since the last time I did a reciprocal gradient, I've been really wanting to try it again. I just needed to carve out the time! For this one I did something a little different, instead of just stripes, I decided to put the tape in a quilt pattern. I absolutely love the way it turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colors I used were NYC- Boundless Berry, Color Club- Sweet Pea, and Color Club- Blushing Rose.</div>

I decided to do another braided look because it's so easy and I love the way it looks! I wanted to do something a little softer and springy, so I grabbed a white and some blue and got to work! I was texting my friend, Sarah, and when I told her I was doing a braid, she said I still needed to show her how to do one. So I decided to make my very first picture tutorial. It was a bit time consuming, but I had a lot of fun with it! I hope it's helpful for anyone wanting to try out braided nails!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The colors I used were OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Essie- Mint Candy Apple, and Essie- In the Cab-ana.</div>

<br />
Step 1. Paint your base color<br />
Step 2. Start at one "corner" of your cuticle and paint a stripe (doesn't have to go clear to the other side, just needs to cover the middle)<br />
Step 3. Paint another stripe from the opposite "corner"<br />
Step 4. Overlapping your first stripe, paint another with your base color<br />
Step 5. Continue adding stripes, alternating colors<br />
Step 6. When you get to the end, be sure to cap the tips to make your polish last longer!<br />
Step 7. Paint your last stripe!<br />
Step 8. Clean up around your nails and add a top coat to smooth everything out!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The preview for this month looked very colorful, and as you can see, it is!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first color is Beethovenstraat, a neon green high gloss creme. This color is so bright and fun! It's not my favorite, I don't usually like greens on myself, but it's perfect for summer nail art! The formula was a bit thin, I used 4 coats for full opacity, no top coat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up is Kalverstraat. A beautiful, hot pink, almost a touch the salmon side. This one is also very bright, perfect summer color. I used 3 coats, no top coat. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last color is P.C. Hooftstraat, they call this one a duochrome, but it almost looks like more of a shimmer to me. It's a gorgeous purple with bright blue shimmer in it. This one was also a little sheer, I used 4 coats, no top coat. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Awhile back on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KickAcetone?ref=hl">Facebook page</a>, I mentioned that butter LONDON was having a sale. I picked up two polishes for 50% off! This is one of those.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is two coats of Scallywag. Isn't is incredible?!? It's the most gorgeous teal glitter. It's really dense, so you don't really need undies with it. It does dry a bit gritty though, so I used a thick coat of HK Girl on top. It really enhanced the sparkle too!</div>

I love this color so much, but it chips like crazy! I can usually get a pretty solid 4 days out of a polish without a chip, this polish was chipping the next morning. Such a disappointment :(</div>

Today we have two more gorgeous shades from Royal Lacquer. Love Me Tender from their Valentine's collection, and Such a Lady. I love these! They are so girly and beautiful!</div>

I actually did these nails right before Valentine's Day with the intention of posting them before then, but time got away from me and it just didn't happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of these colors were opaque in two easy coats. They had a special with their Valentine's polishes, you got a sheet of heart decals with each purchase. I chose these with Love Me Tender, and they threw in Such a Lady and some cute pink hearts too! I love how easy these decals are, and these two colors looked perfect together!</div>

There are all these pretty iridescent glitters that didn't really show up in my pictures :( It was much more sparkly in real life.</div>

Awhile back when Zoya had their big sale, this is one of the colors I got. I'm so glad I did because it is gorgeous! I love the golden shimmer it has.</div>

I have been craving some new stamping plates, so I got the Pueen Love Elements set. I love all the girly images! Lots of hearts and swirls. This ruffled image I've seen others use before and loved it, so it was the first one I tried out. I used Sinful Colors- Snow me White and Pueen 32.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Passport Collection: Tokyo</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nails Ablaze, Harajuku Style</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know much about Tokyo, or about Harajuku, but from a little googling, I could tell it was a little wild and very colorful. And SquareHue didn't disappoint! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first color is Roppongi, a bright green glitter with a hint of golden shimmer. It's full of iridescent glitters. I'm not a big fan of this shade of green. It may look better layered over something rather than on it's own though. The formula was a bit sheer, I used 3 coats for the photo below and there is still slight VNL. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up is Shibuya, a bright pink/magenta with blue microglitter. I really love this one! This one started out a little sheer, but built up easily. I used 3 coats for full opacity.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last is Ginza. A kind of sky blue shimmer. I think this one is gorgeous. Its almost got more of a frost finish than a shimmer, as you can tell by the slight brush strokes. I used 3 coats for full opacity.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I think this box is very fun! It's bright and glittery, a nice change of pace for the yucky winter weather we're having!</div>

I finally got my Zoya order in the mail and was so excited to play with my new gorgeous colors! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two coats of Zoya- Aurora for all but the accent. That is two coats of OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls with a heart in Aurora. I just used a dotting tool for the heart. I absolutely LOVE this color!! It's amazing! I'm glad it's one of the three I ended up going with.</div>

I did these nails a few weeks ago, on pretty short nails. The base color is a mini that came in a 7 pack from Ross. They don't really have a brand, but the color is called Cranberry. I stamped with BM-314 and Sinful Colors- Snow Me White.</div>

To be perfectly honest, I don't care much about football. But my husband is from Sacramento and is a huge 49ers fan, so these are for him :) They're playing the Seahawks tomorrow and he says he thinks this game is going to be bigger than the superbowl, so I decided I probably should do some nails for the occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really loving the braid look lately. It's easy and just looks so cool! For this one I used OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Color Club- Berry and Bright, and SquareHue- Honor. My accent nail was done with Berry and Bright and black and white Nail Ritz pens. My husband loved them, so mission accomplished!</div>

My girls also wanted 49ers nails! This picture is of my almost 2-year-old's nails. I had to be quick for obvious reasons, so don't mind the messy job with lack of cleanup :) I've been painting her toenails since she was 3 months old, but this is only the second time I've done her fingernails. It's cute how she wants to show everyone :)</div>

I started out with the intent of doing a pond manicure for today. It reeeeally didn't work out. My layering polish was a little too sheer. I'll give that look a try another time. So after one failed mani, I completely switched directions and started over about 10:30 last night. I absolutely love how this turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with 2 coats of OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls, then used the large chevron <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SudsnStickers/app_259525164100619">Vynails</a> nail decals. I used them as guides for this look. They were super easy to use, and it went really quickly. I painted one coat of Nina- Twinkle, Twinkle over the guides, then peeled them off with tweezers while the polish was still wet. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is something I would definitely do again! But I'll need more of those chevron stickers! And that blue glitter! Isn't is amazing?? I was surprised how opaque it was in just one coat as well! I picked this gem up on clearance at Sally's a few weeks ago.</div>

Sometimes I just don't want to do "seasonally appropriate" nails. Sometimes I just want something that will make me happy. And what's more happy than sparkle, holographic, and pink!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with 2 coats of Orly- Miss Conduct, by far one of my very favorite polishes. I stamped with BM-322 and Color Club- Cloud Nine. </div>

I've been wanting to do a winter nail art look, but wasn't really feeling like the usual blues and grays that go with winter. I needed something happy and fun. So I went with China Glaze- When Stars Collide, a beautiful, rich, holographic purple. I used Sinful Colors- Snow Me White and BM-323 for the snowflakes. </div>

I realized when I got the shipping notification for this box that I never did post the swatches from last month's box! So if anyone is interested in seeing those, just let me know and I'll post them :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Passport Collection- London</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pretty excited to see what was in store for this box. I went to London with my brother when I was 17 and it was incredible! So it was fun to see the names of the polishes were places that I've been to :) To be completely honest, I was slightly underwhelmed when I saw the colors, and then I swatched them...and it totally changed my mind!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up is Buckingham, a gorgeous deep burgundy. I absolutely love this! Upon first glance, I wasn't too impressed, but on the nail it was incredible. It's so rich and dreamy, and once again, crazy awesome shine. This is 2 coats, no topcoat. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up is Westminster, sort of an off white, cream color. The formula on this one was a little streaky and probably could have used one more coat to even it out more. I used 3 thin coats for this photo. I don't love this color on it's own, but I think it will be great to use for nail art!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last, we have West End, a dark blue shimmer. I thought this one looked the most interesting at first glance, and it's an absolute stunner on the nail! You can see a hint of the bright blue shimmer in this picture, so pretty!! I used 3 coats, no topcoat. Even thought this one isn't one of the hi-gloss cremes, it still has great shine.</div>

Since it's the last day of the year, I
have to get a post in. I cut it pretty close on this one. I'm putting
Christmas and New Year's Eve all in one post since it's kind of my last
shot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
On
the left is my sweet little Chloe's nails. She's 4 and really wanted
some Christmas nails, so we did these one evening while she watched
Mulan 2. She loved them and was excited to take pictures just like
Mommy. On the right are my Christmas sweater nails. A very popular trend
this season, I really liked how they turned out. I used Color Club-
Berry and Bright, then stamped with Sinful Colors- Snow Me White and
W120.</div>

Next
up is my look for New Year's Eve. My mom bought me a pack of 7 mini
polishes at Ross awhile back. I don't know what brand they are, but this
is one of them. It's called Grapevine. It's such a gorgeous dark purple
and in direct light you can see the beautiful pink and blue shimmer in
it. I just love it!</div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with 2 coats of Grapevine, then decided to do a skittle, something I rarely do.
On the index finger I added Hard Candy- Hip Hip Hooray, very fitting for
party nails, I think! The other images are stamped with Pure Ice-
Silver Star and BM-311 and W117.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My
goal for my blog in the new year is to start posting more regularly.
Hopefully we're doing with sickness and surgeries for awhile, so things
can calm down. I do my nails, I just have trouble finding the time to
post! Maybe once the older kids go back to school, I can start carving
out some time during Sesame Street for blogging :)</div>

Back in October I posted about <a href="http://kickacetone.blogspot.com/2013/10/suds-n-stickers.html">Suds n Stickers</a>, they did the great Vynails decals. They recently started a line of polish called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SudsnStickers">Royal Lacquer</a> and I was lucky enough to receive a few colors for review! Unfortunately, I got them the same day I had my tonsils out, so I've been out of commission for a couple weeks, so sorry ladies!</div>

On my index and middle finger is Aura. A gorgeous purple glitter topper. I layered it over OPI- You're Such a Budapest. This color is so sparkly and the glitter payoff is great. The larger circle glitters take a little fishing, but that's to be expected.</div>

On the ring and pinky fingers I've got this cute little unnamed mini. It's a delicate glitter topper, some pink, purple, blue, very pretty. It's also over You're Such a Budapest. </div>

I really loved this next color, it's gorgeous! This is three coats of Inner Glow. A gorgeous berry colored jelly with some redish micro glitter and some copper and holo glitter. It's so pretty! It dries to kind of a waxy finish, which is cool, but I really love it with top coat!</div>

The last one is another cute little unnamed mini. It's a pretty teal color packed with black, white, and silver glitters. All different shapes, hexes, squares, circles, stars, although I didn't manage to get any of the stars. I really like this color, the larger glitters do require a little fishing of course, but it's worth it :) This one also had a waxy finish to it.</div>

Sorry about the lack of posts lately! It's been a rough few weeks, we've all had one sickness after another around my house. I have an appointment tomorrow to schedule a date to have my tonsils removed. I'm a little nervous, I've heard the recovery is pretty bad for adults, but I'm so tired of being sick all the time, so hopefully this will help!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been doing good to even paint my nails once a week lately, which has been rough. But I was finally in the mood to do a fall look, and I really wanted to try the braid look again. I used Honor, Scorched Summer, and Swahili Charm, all from SquareHue. I can't say enough great things about their polish! Both the gold and the orange are something I would never pick out for myself, and yet they're perfect for this look! They look amazing in nail art. That's partly why I love SquareHue, I don't know what colors I'm getting and I get some colors that would be out of my comfort zone, and end up loving them.</div>

First off... I LOVE this box!!! The colors are all amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The first color is Nantucket. It's the most gorgeous teal blue. The formula is perfect as always. Opaque in two coats, crazy awesome shine.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next is Chatham. It looked like I dipped my fingers in hot chocolate. Perfect color for fall for sure. This one was a little thinner, I used three coats for full opacity. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last color is Portsmouth. An incredibly beautiful dusty grayish blue. I LOVE this one! It seems a little more gray in real life, it photographed slightly more blue. Two easy coats.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of these colors are so pretty, it makes me even more excited to see next month's colors! All three of these are HiGloss Creme formula, they're my very favorite. I'm always amazed by the shine, they're absolutely perfect!</div>

Sorry I didn't get this post up yesterday! I hope everyone had a great Halloween! The night before, my brother and his family came over to carve pumpkins, we do this every year, it's a lot of fun. I decided I wanted a challenge this year, and about 2 hours into it, I was wondering what the hell I was thinking. I spent about 7 hours on it that night. The next morning, I took one of my daughters to school and came home to finish my pumpkin. It ended up taking me about 9 hours by the time I finished it...I've included pictures later on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway...I spent so much time on my pumpkin that I only had naptime to hurry and get my nails done. So I did this quick mani before the girls woke up to get ready for our neighborhood trunk-or-treat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two coats of SquareHue- Iron Horse on my index and pinky fingers, and two coats of Desert Grit on the other two. I stamped with Sinful Colors- Snow Me White and Konad Special Black. I used the Halloween plate from the Winstonia collection, I don't remember what number it is, I could get up and look, but I don't think I can peel myself off the couch right now.</div>

Here's a picture of my adorable little girlies!! Hailey was an elephant and Chloe was Ariel. They had a lot of fun even though it was only 41 degrees and started to rain during trick-or-treating. </div>

And now...my pumpkin! If you don't have children, you may not recognize her...it's Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street. This was the first year I've tried surface carving, I used a little wood carving kit. It was a little ridiculous. But I wanted a challenge, and a challenge I got.</div>

I've been really lacking inspiration lately. I keep sitting down with the intent to do some Halloween looks, and I'm just not feeling it. I end up doing bright, sparkly, very non-fall looks. So I handed my binder of stamping plates to my husband and told him to design my nails. He decided on some dots and said I should do something dark with a little lighter stamp of the same color, and this is what I came up with...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with 3 coats of SquareHue- Iron Horse. Then stamped with Color Club- Beyond and W112.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this first picture, you can really see the gray on black combo I was going for. This is how it looked indoors most of the time or in the shade.</div>
