Needed a little pick-me-up so I opted for a super bright Barbie pink. Tipped the manicure with a delicate mauve and the outcome reminded me of a girly version of a gym sock!
I had been wanting to do some more experimenting with striping tape. I started this manicure with a base colour of the subtle grey French Quarter For Your Thoughts and let it dry completely. The next day I tapped off this design and painted Ski Teal We Drop over top in one thick coat.
I've been getting lots of great compliments about this design, I think that the colours suit each other perfectly.
Birthday babe is a stunning matted looking silver. It takes a few tries to get used to the streaky nature of this polish, but a good top coat hides small streaks.
Added some small back details to the thumb and ring finger for extra pop.
Colder weather means pretty dark colours for me. Scooped up this baby the other day and I absolutly love it. Added some individual hexagonal glitter to spice it up.
A day or two later I decided to slap a matt top coat on. I really liked the results, but obviously the manicure was starting to wear...
In celebration of one of the most successful movie franchises in history, I bring you OPI's The Man With The Golden Gun, as today is the North American release date of the latest installment "Skyfall".
While I had no initial intentions of purchasing this bottle, I saw is yesterday and caved. Hard. If you haven't heard of this polish yet, it is a gold flecked top coat made with actual 18 karat gold. Here in Canada this bottle retails for a cool $30, and I figured that as a self proclaimed polish addict it would be a really great collectors item to have. (And as a collector I had a hard time even opening the box!)

It really is the ultimate luxury polish.....
Have you or do you plan on purchasing this bottle? Will you be seeing the ever-so-sexy Daniel Craig new James Bond film Skyfall?
