Need Sunglasses? I do!

Polishes used:

Need Sunglasses?- OPI

Red Flare- Orly

I have been eyeballing Need Sunglasses for AGES and came across it on a blog sale. Naturally I scooped it up. I luuuurv it. Added some wispy red stripes with a long art brush for a little more pop.

Some polish humor...

I saw these on Pinterest a little while ago and decided to share them on the blog. I peed my pants at most of these, just so true. Enjoy!

Here is the original site.

Brown and Gold Glitter Gradient

Polishes used:

Charmed By A Snake- OPI

As Gold As It Gets- Essie

Disco Gold- Love And Beauty

I am quite depressed to find myself drawn more and more to warm autumn colours, I'm just not ready for summer to end yet. Charmed By A Snake is a beautiful neutral with a slight gold shimmer. I kicked it up a notch by adding a layer of Gold as it Gets to half my nail from the cuticle and two coats of Disco Gold which is a fun mix of hexagonal and tiny dot gold glitter, also to only half the nail. Very happy with how it turned out. Very classy, very work appropriate. : )

You can buy it off the Forever 21 website.

I won a nail art contest!!

So the Lacquerologist was having a 6 month Blog-aversary nail art contest, and I threw in a submition that fit her criteria. Much to my surprise I was one of two chosen winners! (My prize is a bottle of the oh-so-stunning OPI Extravagance which I can't wait to try.)

Here is my award winning manicure:

I fell in LOVE with this orange, I wish I had a picture of it by itself. It's the first time I tried a Maybelline polish, and it was pretty perfect. Good consistency, great application. (And a dang good price!)

Sailor Stripes

 Polishes used:

Chic- Revlon

Fashionista- Revlon

Absolutely Shore- Essie

A very simple tape manicure, and I love how it turned out, almost no bleeding of colours either! I used Revlon Chic and my base colour, Fashionista on the tips and Absolutely Shore for the pale strip in the middle.

 Here is what the tape job looked like.
