Fall Golf Socks

Hi loves!

Here's a fall mani I wore this weekend :)  I love red/orange/gold combos, there's something so classic feeling about it isn't there?  It just seems timeless to me.

 

I started with a base of OPI Deutsch You Want Me Baby? and OPI Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue as my accent.  I then stamped using Essie - Good as Gold and a stamping image from a large stamping plate I bought over at You Mix Cosmetics (I don't think they sell them anymore though).  On my accent I added two coats of Lacquisty Golf Socks.

Golf Socks is SUCH a fun glitter polish.  It has a dark blue jelly base, small orange hex glitter, and large blue, orange and gold hexes.  This is the newer version that was sent me to unexpectedly as the first version of Golf Socks had bleeding glitter.   I have to say, I love the newer version much better ;)

Ole Caliente!

Hi all!

Sorry for the week long absence.  Honestly, I just haven't felt up to editing photos then blogging, I've been putting in long hours at school trying to get lab work done and the last thing I've been wanting to do is come home and sit in front of my computer for any length of time.  Forgive me?  I thought so :)

I have some Spring Challenge manis to catch up on, but I'll leave that for another day.. what I'm showing today is just a NOTD from a few weeks ago.

 

Here I used Essie - Ole Caliente (which I've heard is a dupe for OPI - Red Lights Ahead.. Where? from their new Holland collection), with an accent nail of OPI - Kiss me on the Tulips.  Then to quickly embellish the mani I used Lacquistry's Shredded, and Revlon - Sparkling on the accent nail.

There's major tip wear though, and I believe these were only taken a day after I put the polish on..  Such is life when you're a lab rat!

Stamping Sunday: Plate ending in 7

Hi all :)

It's Stamping Sunday!!  The stamping group vote results were to use a plate ending in 7.  I ended up using BM-207 plate, and a stamp I had yet to use.  I initially tried one of the red angel plates but it covered too much and I didn't like that ;)

 

I started with a jelly sammich except for the accent nail.  The jelly sammich consisted of FIVE friggin' coats.  I put one coat of OPI - Houston We Have a Purple, a coat of Revlon - Blue Mosaic, another coat of OPI then Revlon - Stunning, and finally a last coat of OPI.  Now.. the accent nail.. Oh. My. Gosh!! I'm so in love with this polish!  It's Lacquistry's Cotton Candy, a polish suspended in a light pink jelly base, and made up of small aqua glitter and medium and large fuchsia hex glitter.   I cannot stop staring at it!

 

Then I stamped the stripes.  I'm a bit underwhelmed with this mani, to be honest.  It's certainly not my favourite (except for Cotton Candy of course!)

 

And it doesn't help that half of my pinky didn't get stamped!
