Happy (Belated) Memorial Day!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's post is another special one! I decided to honor a Veteran for my Memorial Day manicure. This veteran is someone that is very special to me and my family. Gary Douglas Brewer passed away November 13th of last year after a long, hard fought battle with cancer. Gary was a veteran and an all around awesome guy! He was a highly decorated and could safely be labeled as one of the bravest men I've ever had the privilege of knowing. With (3) tours in Vietnam he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, (2) bronze stars (one with valor, which is awarded for acts of heroism) and two Purple Hearts. To say this man was a hero is an understatement. Details of Gary's heroic acts have been detailed in two books, The Battle of Saigon and 100 Miles of Bad Road (pictured below). I wanted to dedicate this manicure/post to him as a little token of my respect and appreciation. The inspiration for the nail art is the "symbol" or "insignia" for the Staff Sergeant ranking in the Army which was one of the titles Gary held. He ended up retiring as an Air Force Master Sergeant in 1993 after 26 1/2 years of service.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to take a minute and say THANK YOU to all veterans young and old, your sacrifices don't go unnoticed or unappreciated. I've always had great respect and honor for our veterans, after meeting my husband, who is a Marine Corp veteran, I learned so much about what our military men and women go through. This knowledge created a whole new level of respect within me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please make sure you take a minute out of your life once in a while, not only on Memorial Day or Veteran's Day and let a veteran around you know how much they are appreciated.</div>

Two posts in one week?! WHAAAAAT?! I know, I know! I am shocked too LOL So today's post is a special one cause it's ma birthday :) I decided to use one of Essie's new polishes from their Summer 2014 collection. I bought these polishes at CVS a couple of days ago...they were sitting there all pretty next to the new Essie neon collection. For some reason there was one missing from the neon collection and 2 missing from the summer collection. And not like they were all purchased... like there wasn't even a spot for them?! WTF CVS? lol Anyway - I know I'll be back at CVS soon, so I'm not too worried haha </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the accent nail I used some little nail decorations that I bought at Claire's (pic at the end of the post) this past weekend. I love them! There are 4 different colors and 4 different shapes in the decorations kit. I decided to use the small mint colored studs since they coordinated well with the green polish. This is actually the first time I've used nail decorations like this.... and I really liked them - they were super easy to use! I just waited for my polish to become a little tacky then stuck them on there with a toothpick. Once I had them placed where I wanted them, I just sealed with Seche Vite!</div>

Hey Everyone! Today's post is a manicure I did last week. I had participated in my first <a href="http://www.habitat.org/wb" target="_blank">Habitat for Humanity Women's Build</a> last Thursday and it was AWESOME! Of course I had to do a special manicure for the occasion. If you've never got a chance to participate in a Habitat for Humanity event - DO IT! It's so much fun and very rewarding to have a chance to give back to your community.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this look I used OPI - Keeping Suzi At Bay for the main base of my manicure and Essie Mojito Madness on my accent nail. For the flower and hammer detail I used Sally Hansen nail art pen in white and I used a dotting tool with the blue for the flower petals. I thought this nail art was fun to do and the Sally Hansen Nail Art pens are amazing! You can create your nail art over and over again, if you mess up you just wipe it off with water and a cotton ball. Once you get your nail art the way you want it... just seal it with a top coat. Which is what I did with this look - I had a hard time getting the hammer to look right but that was okay, I just kept re-doing it until I got it they way I wanted! :)</div>

Hey Everyone :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So today's post is of another scented polish that I picked up last weekend. I got this shade and the Lime Basil at CVS. While looking for this Ginger Melon color, which my sister Emily told me about, I noticed that certain stores only have certain shades of this type of polish from Revlon. When first looking for this, I went to Target - they didn't have the Ginger Melon or the Lime Basil.... so I thought that was odd. I figured that every store that carried these polishes would have all the same shades, but.... i guess not! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This shade is so pretty! It's one of my favorite colors this season by far! The only problem I had with this polish was that it was a little on the streaky side. I ended up using 3 coats on ring finger :( I think this color is the perfect summer color and I think it would look great on anyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Salon Sciences - Starting Over Artificial as my based coat - I picked this up at Sally's a couple weekends ago. My nails have been a little on the weak side lately, I've been slacking on taking my vitamins so they've been suffering a little. I used two coats of the polish on each nail except for the ring finger, which like I said I had to use 3. I finished the look with a coat of Out The Door top coat. If you take a look at the last picture - which I took today in the sun - it is the color in real life. BEAUTIFUL!!</div>

It's so beautiful outside I almost can't stay inside long enough to write this post. Here in Indiana right now it's Sunny and 75° :) No complaints here haha<br />
<br />
Anyway today's post I have a new polish that I bought over the weekend from CVS. I have a couple of these Revlon Parfumerie polishes and I really like them. The only thing about this Lime Basil one is that it was actually pretty strong as far as the scent when I first painted my nails last night. The smell reminds me of Zest soap lol - is that still around? LOL Am I too old? Anyway... I really like the color and think it's a great "spring green"<br />
<br />
The following pics are two coats of Lime Basil and one coat of Out The Door top coat.<br />
<br />
Let me know what you think! Do you have any of these "scented" polishes?<br />

Hey Everyone! So I am so excited about today's post :) I finally got my hands on the entire Essie 2014 Neon Collection. I had originally found Too Taboo at Kohl's about 3 weeks ago, but that was the only one they had! So finally after weeks of searching in Target, Walmart, and CVS and not finding a trace of any of them - I finally went back to Kohl's yesterday and they had all of them!! I was so excited and felt so lucky considering they literally had one of each left haha - So of course I swooped them all up and here we are. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this look I wanted to do some sort of nail art (as usual) so I went with a leopard print accent nail. I used my "go-to" white base - China Glaze White on White - for the base of each of nails. As most of you probably know this is the best way to get that neon to POP! On each of my fingers I used Serial Shopper which in my opinion is the ultimate "summer" shade and on my thumb I used Chills & Thrills which is a beautiful "blurple" color. For my accent nail I just used a dotting tool and a small art brush for the leopard spots. I sealed everything with my Out The Door Topcoat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh! I forgot to mention, I got a new camera that I'm still trying to figure out but so far I am super psyched about it! I got a new Canon T5i Rebel DSLR camera - this being my first "big girl" camera I am pretty much intimidated ha ha but so far I love it! I am already so stoked about the color accuracy compared to my other Canon.</div>

Happy Earth Day! I wanted to do a quick post of my Earth Day manicure....I had a hard time getting a shot without a glare over the accent nail - but you get the point :) I used OPI Don't Mess With OPI for the base and for the "recycle" symbol I used my "go-to" white polish - China Glaze White on White. I created the symbol I just free-handed it with a small paint/art brush I bought from Michael's a while back....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Happy Easter Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year's Easter manicure I decided to do something simple. Honestly I just came up with it this morning and finished it as my family was arriving for our cookout. I used Essie Play Date for the main part of my manicure and Nicole by OPI Roughles in the shade Sand in My Shoe on my accent nail. I thought both of these colors were really "spring/easter" like. This is the first time I've used the roughles type of polish - I really like it :) I am not sure if I would use it on all my nails or not but I really like the texture and color too! To create my little bunny I used China Glaze White on White and a Sally Hansen nail art striper in black for the eyes. Now on to the pics... I hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Easter :) </div>

SIDE NOTE** I think I would like to start doing some nail art "how to" videos on YouTube - would anyone be interested in that? Comment below and let me know :)Morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05586371891763541508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009212008985433463.post-9207406337743688932014-04-18T09:17:00.000-04:002014-05-01T10:09:41.307-04:00Sonia Kashuk - RaincheckHey Everyone!! Long time no post :) So basically I've been MIA for a while as you can tell considering it's seriously been an entire YEAR since my last post. But what can I say? It is what it is... lol<br />
<br />
For this post I've got a really pretty blue polish that I bought from Target last weekend. I swear my sister Emily and my mom and I go to Target every. single. weekend. That is not an exaggeration it is the truth LOL I am sure we aren't the only ones to do that? Anyone? Anyone? LOL Oh well.<br />
<br />
Now let's get on to the polish. For this manicure I used Nail Life Nail Revitalizer as my basecoat and two coats of Sonia Kashuk Raincheck and one coat of Out the Door as my top coat. I really love this color - it's a gorgeous blue and this polish was a very nice formula. It was smooth and barely took 2 coats. This is actually only my 10th bottle of Sonia Kashuk polish and I have to say it's my favorite.<br />
<br />
So take a look at the pics and let me know what you think! Have you tried any Sonia Kashuk polishes?<br />

Today I have a special post/manicure - I've got a birthday manicure for my mom :) Today was her birthday so I decided to a little something special for her.<br />
<br />
For the following manicure I used China Glaze as my basecoat along with Wet n Wild French White as the base color. I then used the opposite end of my clean-up brush to place the dots of my color on my nails. I started with the darkest color - Essie No More Film, then the next color was Essie Avenue Maintain, then Essie Hip-Anema and last I used Essie Tart Deco. I finished the manicure with Seche Vite Top Coat.<br />
<br />
I really ended up being pleased with this manicure and it is really different than things I normally do.<br />
<br />
My inspiration for this manicure was those little candy dot sprinkles that you can put on cupcakes and stuff... hahaha you know the ones I'm talking about?<br />
<br />
Anyway here is a couple of pics of my manicure as well as a pic of my beautiful mama!! :)<br />
<br />
Enjoy!!<br />

Hope you all had a great weekend! My weekend was great :) Never long enough, but what can you do haha<br />
<br />
So this weekend I was cleaning off one of my camera cards and I came across a manicure that I did for Christmas and never posted haha! I figured what the hell.. better late than never right? So below are pics of one of my Christmas manicures...but the fact that it is a great spring color it kind of fits right?<br />
<br />
For the base I used China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint and for the accent "peppermint" nail I used Wet N' Wild French White. Obviously the name of the polish was part of the inspiration for the accent nail :)<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Hey Everyone! So I am little late with my Happy Easter blogpost - but I'm gonna say it anyway... HAPPY EASTER! LOL I hope everyone had a great holiday :) I just spent time with my family and had way too much food and WAY too much candy! At the end of this post I will show you a special little treat that I made for our Easter celebration :) If you follow me on Instagram, you already know what it is, but if not.. then you will get to enjoy it as well!<br />
<br />
For last year's Easter Manicure I did a bunny peep on my accent finger - which can be seen <a href="http://passthepolishplease.blogspot.com/2011/04/easter-manicure-bunny-peep-manicure.html" target="_blank">here</a>. So I wanted to make sure and do something different this year. With as many nail blogs as I follow and nail boards I follow on Pinterest I wanted to make sure and come up with something unique. Or at a manicure that I've not seen a lot of. So I decided to make my nails look like those speckled malt ball eggs that are everywhere in the grocery store around this time of year.<br />
<br />
So for my manicure I used OPI Nail Envy and China Glaze Strong Adhesion as my base coats, I then applied two coats of China Glaze Something Sweet on my thumb and pinky, two coats of China Glaze Lemon Fizz on my index and ring finger and then two coats of Essie Bikini So Teeny on my middle finger. Once everything was dry I then mixed a couple of drops of Revlon Hot for Chocolate and some fingernail polish remover together. I used the remover to thin out the polish some so it would be easier to splatter the polish on my nails. I just used an old toothbrush to create the splatter design.<br />
<br />
Now... on to the pics!! Enjoy! :)<br />

Today's manicure is of one of my new favorite colors - it's called <a href="http://www.essie.com/shop/avenue-maintain-p-495.html" target="_blank">Avenue Maintain</a> and it's from <a href="http://www.essie.com/shop/spring-collection-collection-c-2_23.htmlhttp://www.essie.com/shop/spring-collection-collection-c-2_23.html" target="_blank">Essie's Spring 2013 Collection</a>. This is such a beautiful blue color and I think it's a great Winter to Spring transition. Here in Indiana we just can't seem to shake the winter season off - Saturday was nice and sunny - no jacket required and yesterday it snowed! I am so ready for spring I just can't stand it! Hope the weather is cooperating for you all and if you've got some sunshine, send it our way :)<br />
<br />
Now on to the pics! I used <a href="http://www.amazon.com/OPI-Nail-Envy-Original-Ounce/dp/B00178TVXG" target="_blank">OPI Nail Envy</a> and <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/Base-Coat/SBS-606336,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH" target="_blank">China Glaze Strong Adhesion</a> as my base coats, I then applied two coats of Avenue Maintain and topped it off with <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/seche-vite/SBS-215000,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH" target="_blank">Seche Vite</a> top coat.<br />

Sorry for the lack in posts! Technical difficulties!!!<br />
I'm back and ready to start posting again :)<br />
If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/mdhb22" target="_blank">Instagram</a> you have been at least seeing "some" nail activity from me lol as well as on <a href="http://pinterest.com/morgandhash/pass-the-polish-please/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> - I try and at least post my "nail art" manicures on there. But anyway! I am hoping that everything keeps going well and I can get back to blogging.<br />
I also wanted to share that I've added a new blog to my line-up here on PTPP! - if you look in my pages bar there is a new page titled<br />
<a href="http://www.brittonberry.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Britton Berry</a> - this is my new Fashion/Lifestyle blog where I will be posting things about my everyday life - just not nails... I will keep these two blogs linked pretty closely, but separate enough you don't have to read about clothes if you are only interested in nails and vice versa! I hope you all enjoy seeing more of my life and style :) Go check it out and let me know what you think!!<br />
<br />
I also wanted to mention that Google has gotten rid of Google Friend Connect so I wasn't able to put a Follow Me gadget on my new blog - so make sure you Follow By Email on Britton Berry so you don't miss any new posts :)<br />
<br />
Talk to you soon!!<br />

Today I have another Christmas themed manicure. This is based off the photo below that someone had posted on my Facebook wall last week. They asked me to recreate it - so I figured I would give it a try :) After doing some research on the internet - I believe I found the correct source/credit of the photo - if anyone knows for sure and I am wrong - please let me know. I am not by any means trying to pass this off as my own original idea. I believe the artist/owner is <a href="http://lovesac.deviantart.com/art/Christmas-Nail-6-ELF-274744556" target="_blank">*lovesac</a> from the website <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Deviant Art</a>.<br />

For my version of this manicure I started out with OPI Nail Envy as my basecoat, then used 2 coats of Revlon Emerald City for my index, middle and pinky fingers and used Wet N Wild French White on my ring finger and thumb. For the nail art and text I used my Miji Nail Art pens. For the buckle on his coat I used a toothpick and Orly Tiara. I then used Essie Good To Go as my top coat on everything.</div>

Today I have a semi-Christmas themed manicure - even though this really could be worn at anytime. I used China Glaze - Heli-Yum for the base coat from the Up and Away Collection and I used Glamorous from the Wet n Wild Fergie collection for my accent nail. Heli-Yum is more "red" than I thought it would be - but it's a very pretty color either way. The accent nail was very easy to do, as I just dipped out some of the glitter polish into a little plastic container and used a toothpick to grab the single pieces of glitter. I used Essie All In One Base as my base coat and Essie Good To Go as my top coat.<br />
<br />
On to the pics!! Enjoy♥<br />

Today I have a special manicure that I am dedicating to my little nephew James! He turns 2 years old today! I can't believe it :) He loves Sponge Bob and he especially loves Gary! LOL So I created a little Gary on my nails for him. It turned out okay - haha I haven't done actual nail art like this in a while, so I felt a little rusty - but I think you can get the gist of it. I used my newest polish purchase - Revlon Coastal Surf from their new ColorStay Longwear collection - I LOVE THIS COLOR! It's such a pretty bright color and goes on great. The only complaint I had with it was the brush had a couple out of whack bristles - but I fixed that with no problem. I always forget to open the bottle and check the brush when I am in the store - but yet I always have a habit of grabbing the second bottle in line - as in I never pick the one in front. haha I am not sure why I do this either - I guess I am weird like that - Does anyone else do that? Anyway - for the accent nails I used my Migi Nail Art pens and for the base color I used my trusty old Wet and Wild - French White and went over that with my China Glaze Lemon Fizz from their Up and Away collection. I used Essie's Good To Go as my top coat.<br />
<br />
Now on to the pictures - which includes a rare glimpse at my right hand hahaha! Also a couple of the pictures have some different lighting - I'm trying to find the best spot in my house to photograph in - so far I think is the kitchen, which is where all the pics but the top two were taken. Let me know what you think! Enjoy♥<br />

I am so glad to see I still have followers on here haha. I have been gone for sooo long, I feel like the worst blogger ever! I apologize for that. I've had a lot going on in my life for the past year and wanted to create this post to kind of catch everyone up about the recent events that have taken place in my life :) This post isn't going to be about nails or polish - so feel free to skip if you aren't interested. Here we go!<br />
<br />
A year ago in October Ryan and I finally bought our first house together :) I love it! Its about 5 min. from my parents house and about 7 min. from my sister's house. It sits on a 6 acre lake and we have minimal neighbors - which we both love. I was so happy to get out of our 1 bedroom apartment and into something with a lot more space. To give you a comparison on how small our apartment was - our 2 bay garage that we now have is larger than our apartment LOL isn't that crazy? I mean thinking of all the crap we had jammed into that apt... I wonder where we put it all haha. But anyway that was the first distraction I had from blogging - I swear it was like 3 months being in the new house before we even got Internet - we were slackin!<br />
<br />
The next big event in my life started last year around Thanksgiving. I decided to make a life change and get healthy. I was getting so sick and tired of looking into my closet and always searching for a shirt that I could wear that I wouldn't have to suck in or feel self-conscious in. I hated going shopping b/c I had such low self-esteem so I didn't have much to choose from. So I made the change, started counting calories, stopped eating fast food, drank more water, and started scouring the Internet for good tasting, healthy recipes. I found some really great websites that helped me in my challenge - I used Calorie Count for my food journal and Skinny Taste for a ton of recipes. I also found a great website for inspiration - Undressed Skeleton - if you are looking to get healthy or just need some inspiration - definitely check out those sites. But anyway since last year I've lost about 30lbs! :) I really lost the weight in about 4 months, but I've kept all of it off for about a year now. Which I have to say that was one of my biggest fears, losing a lot of weight and then not being able to keep it off. But I think one thing that helped me in that way was that I didn't just do some "fad" diet - I really paid attention to what I was putting into my body.<br />

Now onto the last and best reason for my absence in the blogging world - Ryan and I finally tied the knot :) The reason I say "finally" is b/c we were originally going to get married 10-22 of 2011! LOL but that didn't happen. We ended up deciding to buy a house instead so all of our time and money went to that venture. So we just postponed everything until this past September. We got married at a church in my hometown on 9-22-12 - it was a lot of fun! One thing I learned in that process is that wedding planning isn't my forte haha - I wasn't the type of girl growing up that day-dreamed about my wedding or anything like that. So the whole process was a struggle for me. But Ryan and I def. had the wedding and reception that we both wanted and I wouldn't have changed a thing about it :)<br />

I feel like it's been so long since I last posted. Hope everyone had a good weekend and Mother's Day :) For this post I am going to show you two different polishes, they were both a swatch request from <span id="goog_907729790"></span><a href="http://thenailexperiment.com/">Fey @ The Nail Experiment<span id="goog_907729791"></span></a>. These 2 colors are pretty much colors you would see on a traffic cone and a safety vest LOL they are so bright!! First is called Totally 80's - since I was just swatching these and didn't do a full manicure I only used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White as the basecoat. I then used 3 coats of Totally 80's and 1 coat of SV. I really like this color and it's very bright! All these pics were taken on a cloudy rainy day, but they are pretty color accurate.<br />

The next color is called Awesome Orange - again I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White and 3 coats of Awesome Orange. These first couple of pics aren't quite as accurate as the rest, Awesome Orange glows a little more than these pics show, but the rest of the pics are a fair representation of the color IRL. </div>

Unforgettable Moments - Liquid CandyHey Everyone! So my power has been out until a couple of hours ago - so that is why I am so late on my Pink Wednesday post :) Anyway - everything is good now... so on to the polish! For this manicure I used one of the new untrieds that I recently bought from Payless Shoe Store - this polish is called Liquid Candy and it's from Unforgettable Moments. It was requested that I swatch this polish by <a href="http://shadowsnails.blogspot.com/">Shadow</a> - one of my awesome followers! So here it is :) I used Essie Feed Me and Orly Top2Bottom as my basecoats - then used 2 coats of Liquid Candy and then finished with SV. I have to say that I really loved the name of this polish and was part of the reason that I wanted it lol. But, it was a little thick for my liking... but what can you expect for a nail polish that was a couple of bucks. I have 2 other colors from this brand that I haven't tried yet, so I am hoping that I will like those shades as I do this one :)<br />

So I hope that some of you are getting that lol <br />
For this manicure I used Essie Feed Me and China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat - I then used 2 coats of Essie Lilacism - which I think is the perfect Spring/Easter color :) For my accent finger I used 2 coats of China Glaze Lemon Fizz - then for the Bunny Peep I used Essie Mint Candy Apple and Revlon Hot for Chocolate for the eyes and the mouth and used SV as the top coat. Now on to the pics :) Let me know what you think!<br />
