Dark Mix 'n Match

Good morning & happy Friday!

I'm kind of on this mix 'n match manicure kick lately.. I just can't get enough of them!  I look at all of my polishes and can't seem to choose just one or two colours so I've just been going with it :)

 This manicure started out with me really wanting to use Orly Rococo a-go-go, which I put on my middle and ring fingers.  I then chose colours that I thought would complement it well, but truth be told I'm from from really knowing what shades complement what :P

Regardless, I chose OPI Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs and put that on my pinky and added Orly Can't Be Tamed for the glitter gradient.

 

On my index is one of my favourite polishes from the Hunger Games collection, China Glaze Stone Cold.. it's such a gorgeous matte polish!

 

And to finish it off I stamped my middle and ring finger using Essie Penny Talk and Gals GA30 image plate.

Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!

OPI Ink Suede

Hi loves!

I hope everyone's Monday was good!  It's cold and rainy here, and has been since Thursday, boo.

I've had so many nail fails lately that I finally decided to just keep it simple and let the polish do the talking.  I've had OPI Ink Suede in my stash for a little while now but never really used it.  I'm not completely in love with the suede or matte looks but I DO really, really like this one!

 

The reason I decided to use it this time around is due to it's fast dry time.  After having an epic nail fail and having to strip my nails down, plus it getting fairly late.. I was getting pretty sick of painting my nails.  So I pulled this out, plus I had OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest sitting on the desk so used that on my accent nails.

I stamped the flowers using Essie's No Place Like Chrome and BM-318.  I added a quick drying top coat then once that was dry I mattified it using one coat of Joe Fresh Matte top coat.  I'm digging these, I've never sported matte nails before!

Have you sported a matte manicure before?  What did you think?
