Can't Find My Czechbook

This is a dusty muted light blue color called "Can't Find My Czechbook" by OPI. It was very easily applied in two coats.

It reminds me of the color of Tiffany Co. even though this is more blue than green. I guess "For Audrey" from China Glaze would be closer in color.

Lemme know what you think!

After that I applies Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat.

My St. Patty's Day Sandwich!

I decided to layer some colors to create the perfect St. Patty's Day look & this is what I came up with. Starting out with a base coat & working my way on to 1 coat of "Evergreen" by Icing, then 1 coat of "Call You Later" by Sinful Colors, another coat of the Evergreen & 1 final coat of "Holiday Splendor" by Color Club & topped it off with Seche Vite's Fast Dry top coat.  I have to say I am loving it! I have to look at it throughout the day because it's so gorgeous!  These pictures do not do justice but, come really close. Please let me know what you think by submitting a comment below.

Flecked by Finger Paints

Here is another Finger Paints polish from the Special Effects Collection. It's called "Flecked".  It appears to be a green flake polish... & all this while I thought that's just what it was until one day I noticed while wearing it over Black that in the Sunshine it changes from green to blue. It was very fascinating to watch. I have not seen this polish do that in any other lighting So, it did catch me off guard. Sorry, I was unable to get those camera shots but, here's what I did take.

Twisted by Finger Paints

Here is the first one I decided to wear from the "Special Effects Collection" by Finger Paints is called "Twisted".  It has Orange, Green, & Blue Flakes... possibly even Yellow ones.

I decided to swatch them over a Black polish because Black is not a color but, a contrast. This polish will look wonderful with other colors as well but, will change depending on the color you choose to use.

I used one coat & the more coats you use the more flakes you will get. After I test them all out... I will then put one coat of each on... I bet that will be spectacular!

Sugar Plum Yum over Anne

So... I decided to add a little flair to "Anne" by Julep by adding "Sugar Plum Yum" by Color Club over top. It is a glitter polish with Purple hexagon  glitters & tiny Green square glitters. I think it looks very nice although the images do not do justice. It was very easy to apply. I did put two coats on with Seche Vite top coat over it. What's pretty cool is that when I dries it has a sweet grape scent
(only cause I can't envision what plum would smell like) LOL.

It is probably the hardest glitter polish I have taken off thus far... So I definitely recommend the foil method!

I think its pretty stylish but, I still can't wait to get those Finger Paints on so.. that'll be next for sure!

Snow Bunny sure knows how to Party Hearty!

Hey there, Today I decided to try out "Snow Bunny" by Revlon which is a white pearlescent color. I didn't like it by itself at all. I think mostly because I'm not used to seeing such light colors on  my nails. So, I decided to put some "Party Hearty" by China Glaze over top of it to give it some pizazz. I think it turned out quite well considering Christmas is near. I used Seche Vite base coat, 2 coats of "Snow Bunny", 2 coats of "Party Hearty" &, Seche Vite top coat.
