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 ;)

Striping tape mani

Who is excited for True Blood tonight?

I am!!  Except this is a scheduled post since I'm still at the cottage until tomorrow so we'll have to download the episode then.  I cannot wait!

Here's a mani I wore last week sometime, inspired by this post from Sarah at Chalkboard Nails (man I love her blog!).

 

The green base is Essie - Mojito Madness.  And it's SO PRETTY!  It's a bit darker and brighter IRL (if that makes any sense).  Just.. such a gorgeous colour.

 

Using striping tape for the accents, I filled in the triangles with Orly - Purple Pleather, Essie - Orange, It's Obvious! (tip of the thumb) and Wet n Wild - Dreamy Poppy (I think) on the tip of my ring finger.

 

This was super easy, and gave a really cool looking mani :)

Hi darlings!

Quick post for today, I'm off to a cottage for the weekend and have a few things that I still need to prep before we leave :)

 

I was sooo loving this mani!  I even kept it on longer than usual even though I could see that some of the polish was starting to crack.

The accent nails are simply Nails Inc. - Baker Street.  My first ever Nails Inc. polish.  I kept eyeballing it every time we walked by our Sephora so finally I went in and purchased it.  I love love love this blue!  It's so stunning!

 

The other three nails are Essie - Orange, It's Obvious! stamped with my bundle monster plates and WnW Black Creme.  Then I filled in some spots with Baker Street.

I hadn't stamped in well over a month so these aren't my best work, but in the case of leopard print, I think the pattern is quite forgiving.  I absolutely adore the orange and blue together though, in my opinion they complement each other so well :)
