Fall Into Autumn: Favorite Sweater

Hey lovelies!!!!!

 

Hope you all are having a great week!!! Ive received more awesome nail mail that ill show you over the next few days with some swatches of some of the colors. I got some new great indies and a gold top coat!!!!

 

But for today I have a fall challenge for you guys. Today is your favorite sweater. I had a hard time with this one and ended up really wanting to wear some holo polishes so I did a holo stripe sweater on one hand. and on the other is a holo french manicure that looks like a banded sweater.

 

The silver I used was Make-up Store Greta, it took 3 coats to be fully opaque but that was without a proper Aqua base. The blue is Depend Denim Blue, which only took 1 coat over top of Gretta. I used striping tape to help make the lines :)

 

 

I couldn't believe how holo Greta was even in the shade. Its absolutly insane and I cant wait to try it out on a sunny day to see its true beauty!!!!!

Now if you want to see more awesome manicures, head on over to visit the other lovely ladies who are participating in this challenge!!!

Revlon Over The Moon Duo

Today while I was out grocery shopping and such I decided to treat myself to a few new polishes. I finally got the last to Essence color & go colors I was missing which were Glamorous Life and Ultimate Pink, and a Revlon FrenchMix duo in Over the moon.

I decided that since I haven't done a tape mani in a while id use the Revlon duo and have some fun with lines going in different directions. I really like the way this looks and think it would be really sharp in black and white as a pin stripe kind of look.

So I started out with 3 coats of the pink, if I were to wear this color alone I would use 4 cats to make it really opaque. It is a gorgeous baby pink thou with an iridescent blue glitter throughout it.

I then laid down all the tape and did a fairly think coat of the metallic turquoise over top. Next time ill make sure I let the second color dry a bit more before apply topcoat as on my left hand I got a bit of streaking.

I really do like these Revlon duos, and for $9.99 CDN, I think there a pretty good deal.

 I may need to get one of the bright ones :)

And now if I didnt love this mani enough before I just added one coat of Models Own Indian Ocean over top or if and I cant stop staring at it!!!!

CG Prismatics and Stripping tape

As promised yesterday I have a striping tape manicure for you guys today. I was so excited to receive these after ordering them from eBay like a month ago!! I couldn't decided on a color combination so I decided to sue the striping tape for a tape mani. For this manicure I used not only 1 but 3 untried polishes!!!!

I started out with 2 coats of Orly Liquid Vinyl

Its really weird that I didn't like Orly After Party on myself the other day but how much I love pure black... Really boggles my mind lol. After the polishes dried I put the striping tape down creating the design I wanted.

Then one nail at a time I painted the China Glaze Prismatic color and then removed the tape right away :) And this is how it turned out.

On the Thumb and Pinkie is Prism, the Ring and Pointer is Optical Illusion and on the Middle is Liquid Crystal. I absolutely love the way this turned out. I think the black is really nice with it and love the double X design.

Hopefully tomorrow I have time to do the China Glaze Crackle Glitters if not it'll be up on Monday.

Thanks for reading <3

But if you guys want to see more awesome untried polishes head on over to some other lovely ladies in my birthday group!!!
