Sandwich with OPI - Care to Danse?

How was your Monday?

I've actually worn today's manicure a few times.  It's become a staple work mani for me.  Nubar's White Polka Dot is the glitter in between layers of Care to Danse?.   Clean looking and delicate.

OPI's Pirouette my Whistle is a similar glitter to White Polka Dot but it has added silver glitter.  Which you can use if you don't have White Polka Dot. 

What are some of your favorite sheers?

China Glaze - Black Mesh

I've got another Halloween themed mani to show you.  Your going to see more of these, because I'm having way too much fun.

Right hand

Left hand.

Underneath.  Here's what it looked like before I added Black Mesh.

What's nice about this mani is that you don't have to be neat, just slap on some colors in an alternating pattern.  Then add Black Mesh and you can't tell that underneath its messy.... its probably better that is messy.

Here is what I used.  L to R, Gelous as a base, It's Alive, Burnished Bronze, Fall of Surprises, Santee purple glitter, Sinful Colors I Love You, ChG Black Mesh, Jelly Pop top coat.

Last year I did not get into the crackle craze.... kind of a shame because I'm really enjoying it!  Now I want to buy a bunch of crackle polishes on eBay now!  So silly!

China Glaze - It's Alive!

Hey everyone!

It's Alive!!!  I guess for Halloween's sake it, whatever it was, is suppose to be dead....

Anyways, are you excited about Halloween?  I am!   I have a quicky swatch to show you, from last year's Halloween collection. ChG's It's Alive, a swampy green glitter bomb.  I wanted to add black tips to this but I ran out of time.  I really love this glitter, I think you could wear this now and throughout the winter. Heck, why not?  Here it is, two coats.

Love, love, love!!!

This is a bit gritty, so I used two top coats, Gelous from American Classics, and China Glaze's fast forward top coat.

Did you have a Halloween mani to share?  Feel free to leave a link in the comments section with a brief description.

That's it for now.  Thanks for stopping by!

Go Pink Wednesday - China Glaze - United

Happy Pink Wednesday!

I know its Tuesday.  I'm not going to have time to post tomorrow and I don't want to miss out on Pink Wednesday!  United is one of China Glaze's glitters they released for breast cancer awareness.  A micro glitter mix of pink, mauve, fuchsia and holographic glitters, it sparkles like mad under halogen light.  Just two coats for full coverage.

The last picture..... this is one reason why I don't do nail art.... I totally hated this combo, I don't know why, but I do.  I should have just left well enough alone.  United is really pretty yet understated all on its own.

Anyways..... add your Pink Wednesday post below!

OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous

Hey guys!

I don't know why, but I keep running into random nail polishes from 2010 lately.  Here's another one. Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous (LLM) from OPI's Swiss Collection.  LLM is a graphite, metallic foil polish with some nano-sized green and purple shimmer scattered in it.  I thought I was pushing it a bit when I wore this to work, but someone said "Hey I like your nails, they match your grey pants!"    ....Thanks!  I rarely, intentionally match my nails to my outfit.

Macro shot.   See the green and purple?

OPI's at Ulta, but not available from their online store.  Isn't that weird?

Well that's it for now.  Thanks for stopping by!

Barielle - Elle's Spell

Hello out there!

Today I have another jelly polish to show you, except this one has fiery mylar flakies in it.... Elle's Spell by Barielle, which was released in 2010.  I found this little bottle at Marshall's for $2.99!  Here it is, two super easy coats topped with INM Out the Door top coat.

In this photo, you can see the flakies shift from orange to green.

You can see my remove this polish with soy based polish remover in this previous post.

That's it for today.  Hope you are having a nice weekend!

Update:  Transdesign.com has this for sale, for I think $3.60.

Go Pink Wednesday - Candeo Colors - Orchid

Hey there, fellow polish maniacs!!!

I have a jelly, glitter polish from indie maker Candeo Colors to show you!  Orchid is a pinkish, purple jelly with various sized holographic hex glitters.  There is also a bit of silver shimmer that runs through this jelly formula.  Squishy, sparkly, and shiny.  I can't get enough.  Below is two coats with INM Out the Door top coat.

I went nuts with photos again.  This one was a fun one to photograph!

Sadly, I only wore this for one day.  After the polish dried, about 12 hours later I started to get some chips, two actually.  Once my polish starts chipping, I start picking and ripping..... anyways this seemed to dry kind of brittle.  I don't know if it was me or the formula.... Anyhow I did find it pretty and did enjoy it.

Picked this up at Llarowe.com for $12.  Decent customer service this time around.

Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
