Polka Dots

Last week I was doing two of my favourite things: drinking tea and nomming M&M's. Easter M&M's to be precise! They're so adorable. And delicious of course.. I ♥ M&M's! I wanted to use this colour combination on my nails. Now, I don't have the exact same colours (see? You can never have enough polishes ^^), so I picked four polishes in the same colour range. I think they look awesome together! As you can see I also covered all nails with white dots (a polka dot mani was on my to-do list for ages). I love how this looks! Gives quite an 'Easter vibe' don't you think?

Normally when I'm doing a skittle mani the nails of my right hand get the same look, but this time I used the colours more randomly. It looks very playful, try it some time. :)

My right hand debut on the blog!

Sing: Hey, Dirty-Lilah!

Last time I showed you a bold stamping combination, but I like them subtle too! For this look I applied two coats of Catrice - Sing: Hey, Dirty Lilah!, a greyed out lilac with a subtle silver shimmer (subtle as in it barely shows up on the nail). An interesting shade, like it can't decide if it's lilac or grey. The formula was on the thick side, I had some trouble getting an even result; luckily a layer of top coat helped to even out the streaks. After a day of wear I added the paisley-like pattern from Konad plate M64. I used Konad's Princess Special Polish in Light Gray as the stamping polish. I'm not impressed by the quality of Light Gray, some stamped parts look a little patchy, bummer! To finish it off I dotted silver dots over the stamped dots with Millennium from China Glaze and applied a layer of top coat. And do I like the end result..? Oh yes! ♥

Thanks for watching!

Nicole by OPI: Green Up Your Act

Good Morning,

Even though it's still hot and still in the 90's I'm starting to have a feel for darker colors.  I'm seeing lots of  Military greens so I decided to try Nicole by OPI: Green Up Your Act. It's a dusty army green creme that applied wonderfully with two coats.

I'm getting pretty good photographing my dominant hand.

Here I did a little nailart in black and white dots to match my pedi

I can't believe it's the last day in September.  You northerners please blow some cold air down my way. Lol! 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Borghese Rapido Limoncello

Hi Nail Beautiquers,

I'm still hauling polish.  There is so many collections out.  I was good and only picked up a few.  This Fall/Winter are lots of goodies coming our way. So many glitters!  Get the aluminum foil ready lol!

I have been meaning to put on Borghese Rapido Limoncello and finally got to it.  This one is from the Summer Collection 2011.  I bought it from Ulta with a few others from this collection.  I haven't seen this brand in the Drug Stores for a while now. Hmm, I wonder why.

Limoncello is a lemon/lime shimmer the color of a dirty-ish tennis ball. I absolutely love the color and brush.  The brush is wide allowing me to stroke down the middle covering  my whole nail.  I used 3 coats to get the opacity that I wanted.

For my middle nail I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White (it's a pretty good white polish)  and Black on Black. After applying 2 coats of Snow Me White I place the blacks dots with a large dotting tool then I place Limoncello with a smaller dotting tool.

Have you seen Borghese at your local Drug Stores lately?

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)
