One Year Blog-a-versary nails with O.P.I Mad as a Hatter!!

Hiiiii!!!!!

  I'm giddy!! Today is my little blog-baby's birthday!! I really cannot believe how fast this day got here. I really don't have a big sappy speech prepared. I'm just happy to be here with you guys today celebrating and having a good ol' time. I never thought that this blog would have grown as much as it has in just a year but I am so happy and honored/flattered that people are interested in what I am doing. I'm really happy to be a part of this, very talented, community that is full of some of the nicest people I've ever "met. :) My readers rock, my blog friends rock and LTHP rocks!! I hope to keep doing this for a very long time.

  So in honor of my very first post One year ago today.... I decided to feature Mad as a Hatter by O.P.I. It's funny... I had intentional nubs then... And just yesterday while I was working on this post I broke my Ring nail loool.. We all know about this color so I wont go into huge detail about it. But basically it is one of the most amazing glitters ever made and everyone should have bought it when it was released because now it's really expensive and HTF lol. I have my amazing husband to thank for my full Alice in Wonderland Set which I treasure because that collection was my first serious case of the "lemmings". I had some epic nails in mind and then my Ring finger decided to break so I was left with nubbins. I still wanted to do something cute and here is what I ended up with... Birthday Cupcakes!!!!!!!!
 The Pink I'm wearing is Pink Flamenco. All of the colors used are O.P.I. The ring finger is, of course, MAAH. For the cupcakes I used plate BM14. For the stripes on my pinky I used Konad plate M65. The dots on the cupcakes were done with Dim Sum Plum, No Room for the Blues, Jade is the New Black and Funky Dunkey.

Here is a swatch of Mad as a Hatter in all it's glittery glory.

 This here is what I had started with but the blue just wasn't speaking to me. I needed something brighter and happier. The blue I'm wearing here is Suzi says Feng Shui.
Now for the fun part.... Keep checking back for a giveaway being posted later today!! I really hope you guys like what I put together <3.

Happy b-day to LTHP!!! And here is to many more blog-a-versaries!!

  2. Happy Anniversary LTHP! The cupcakes are darling! I might have to get the old BM plates just for them. I'm so gutted I didn't get my hands on MAAH! Maybe one of the muppets glitters will come close?

It's awesome!Your blog intrigued me so much, I am now a nail polish addict and can finally paint the nails on my right hand (because I am so not left-handed) without having it look like a hot mess! I look forward to reading many more posts. :-)

  48. OMG CUPCAKES! *swooning from the cuteness*

    You are soooo creative, I'm jealous (but I'll get there!)

    The only thing keeping me from dashing to e-you know where to find Hatter is that 1) I'm broke. and 2) I think if I do a couple of coats of the Burlesque glitters I'll come close to all the colors. HATTER is AMAZING!!

    I'm trying to catch up on collections as I can though...I think this qualifies me as a fashionista, eh? LOL

    Happy Blogiversary again :) xoxo
