For all you teal lovers out there, this one's gonna get you very excited. I have sneak peek colors of the August Elevation Polish collection to show you! Yup you get to see them here first!
I also have very exciting news to share! I'm finally getting a new computer! You have no idea how excited this is making me! Currently, I am sporting an approximately ten year old laptop hand me down. One of my friends gave it to me years ago. Now don't get me wrong, this laptop has done very well throughout the past years. It's what I blog on and do all my online stuff. The bummer is I'm on Internet Explorer like 5, although I use Google Chrome so it doesn't really matter and Windows XP. Also I cannot unplug it from the AC outlet because the battery no longer holds a charge. Not very cool if you're on a laptop right?
Anyway, I went on Consumer Reports, yes I do my research and read reviews from others on big items, and found that they recommended either a Samsung or a MAC. Now I have dreamed of owning a MAC, but it costs $800 more and I'd have to learn a whole new way of computing. I'm pretty proficient fixing my own issues so was leery of having to learn a whole new operating system.
I ended up with a Samsung Series 7, I don't need the latest and greatest Series 9, but this badboy has a terabyte of memory and was on super sale saving myself about $350! My only concern now is having to get ten years of stuff off one computer on to the other. That's sure to be a project!
OK enough sharing of my excitement. I know you Teal lovers are like, "get on with it would ya?"
Here is your ultra cool silly bottle shot of today.
How cool is this? This is the cage that holds my old bird feeder. When I was putting it away, I saw a golden opportunity for a bottle shot.
This is
Elevation Polish Higravstinden from her new upcoming August collection, Sample #144, Mont Valier from her July collection and Tindur from her new upcoming August collection. And of course
Lilacquer Selkie.
I started with Tindur, which is a gorgeous pale white teal with teal shimmer and an accent nail with Hig, which is a gorgeous teal with teal shimmer. Here are the starting shots. My camera is blueing these out. Please note these have more green in them.

Aren't these gorgeous together? Those of you who love glitter, there is a heavy teal glitter coming in August to go along with these two colors!
Next I once again grabbed my dotting tools and went to town. Here is that step.

Next I added two layers of Selkie and funkied with Mont Valier, which is a dark teal creme. Again, these are more green teal in real life. Here are the final results.

Isn't this stunning? I have not stopped staring at my nails! I then realized when I was getting ready for work, that my outfit inadvertently matched my nails. So in the spirit of Marta at
Chit Chat Nails, a styled photo for you.
Isn't this hilarious? I just love how Marta does her photos, plus she's gorgeous! These are my favorite boots. I wear them all the time!
These new Elevation Polish colors will be available August 7, 2012. Mark your calendars because last time she sold out in two hours!
Until next time people. Any thoughts out there?
