About Me

My Photo
Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog. I'm a middle aged beauty(yeah right) that loves nail polish along with makeup and skincare. I don't know how much I'll be able to teach but I just want to have fun with this and hope you all do enjoy or at least get a laugh from it. To let you know where I got the name from: I just became a grandmother for the first time on September 13, 2011 and had made it a fact that I would not be granny or grandma. I am gonna be a Mimi, hence the name.

Zoya Aria for Pink Wednesday



Today I have for you Zoya Aria which is described on the Zoya site as a muted deep pink base with flecked with gold and silver glitter. Soft and girly with a touch of glam.This is a 4 intensity on a scale of 1 - 5 in opaqueness and is from the Sirens collection.
I could have went with another coat as this is just two and you can still see VNL but overall I really like it and glad I have this one.
If you are one of the few who have never tried Zoya then please check them out here, they are a great company and have great promos for their customers along with A1 customer service. You can also "like" their facebook page here!

OPI Shim-merry Chic


When I looked up the swatches on this, I immediately fell in love, its described as a bronze golden shimmer with opalescent glitter and flakes. It is prettier in person than the camera shows. I would love wearing this in the fall as the leaves were changing into their beautiful colors. This would fit right in.
This is from the Holiday Wishes collection of winter 2009.

Lazy Saturday Mani-OPI Ink Suede



Today has been a very lazy day for me, I've mainly spent it watching beauty shows on QVC. I did decide to change my Orly Rock Solid mani and went with OPI Ink Suede. I have always loved matte polishes but I really think I love the look of the suedes even more. This one is from the 2009 fall suede collection.

Pink Wednesday


Pink post for Pink Wednesday . This is three coats of Sinful Colors Beautiful Girl and a splash of Confetti Tasmanian Devil. For some reason my camera would not take clear pics with this color. I did two other polishes at the same time and they turned out ok. Oh well, you can see well enough to know what it is, everyone knows I'm not a professional.
I had actually thought about deleting my blog as I know my nails are nothing compared to most of the nail bloggers out there. But then I thought and thought about it and decided to continue, at least for awhile, because this isn't a competition for me, I do it because I love nail polish, plain and simple. I'm thankful for the ones who do follow me and the ones who don't because I'm not interesting enough or my nails aren't pretty enough, then that's fine, its all good. I just can't post daily because of my babysitting schedule, I can't even polish my nails that often any more but I still love polish and hope to continue to blog when I can and hope that my followers or those who are just passing by enjoy it at least a little. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Updated Pics of Polish Racks



Hubby finally finished my third rack (the top pic) but I haven't had the chance to paint and decorate it yet. I don't want to paint while I'm keeping Dawson and I don't get many free days. Oh well, he'll be grown soon (he's four months old today) so I want to cherish the time with him now and I'll still have the polish and racks so all is well.
