Shine of Times
Hey there...
On a recent trip to Walgreen's I saw a full display of Essie Luxe Effects. I was going to get Shine of Times, but put it back, the price of Essie just kills me!
I ended up going back to get it the next day though.
I also Picked up a Christmas-ie green, Sinful Colors San Fransisco, on a fellow PaA's recommendation. Its a really pretty color.
I snapped those pictures literally right after I capped the polish after the third coat, so my fingers are a little dryish....isn't this a really pretty green?
I was going to do penguins this day, but really didn't want to put the effort into nail art. So I grabbed the Shine of Times (Essie) and put one coat of that on top, then SV on top! And wow! So amazing!
There is about a half an hour left for the franken naming poll! On the left in my side bar....
And don't forget about my Christmas/Holiday Themed mani contest, last day to enter is tomorrow!

Layering...
Yesterday I told you about how good Nicole by OPI's Kim-Pletely in Love and Its all about the Glam would be for layering......well, just see for yourself....
I took several different shades of dark blue, and deep red and a black, and swatched them with each of the above colors....
Ok, so KPIL is much better for layering, but left some brush strokes but if applied better (I went to fast) it might deplete the brush strokes....

So onto those candy canes...
I painted FOUR coats of Nicole by OPI's Kim-Pletely in Love as a base. It is such a pretty color, it has a slight blue shimmer to it, and is so 'romantic' looking. This polish and it sister polish - Its all about the Glam, which is a white polsh, with a shimmer to it, very lovely as well, they are going to make great top coats! I put one coat of them onto a black, and its just...well.....its good! I'll show you all those tommorrow.....
Then for my stripes I was going to stamp, but it just wasn't working out, so I took out a thin brush and used it with China Glaze's Go Crazy Red, and made candy cane stripes. It turned out really cute!
Not the best pictures, Dang I really need to fix my light box....

It's December!
Okay so I am really proud of myself right now....I did an awesome job with tonight's Mani. Although my pictures suck, there was little light outside, and it was the sunset light so it was orangeish....
Ok So I started out with China Glaze's Passion in the Pacific as a base coat. Then I tipped my pinkie, middle, and index fingers with Finger Paints All you need is color. Then on a plastic baggie I made little white circles with Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear White on and topped it with Confetti Ice Ice Baby for a 'snowy' effect. Then a made little santa hats on the baggie with China Glaze's Ruby Pumps. I topped the work with Out the Door, let it dry, and then came back to it. I topped my ring ringer with a top coat and pulled one of the white circles off of the baggie and placed it on my finger to the edge of it and toward the tip, pressed it down gently and then took a hat off of the baggie and placed it on top the white circle. I then used a dotting tool and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sun Kissed to make a nose, then placed two dots with WnW Black Creme for the eyes and then made a mouth, and then topped the hat with a dot of the white used for the circles. Then went back and dotted all of my fingers with the Confetti Ice Ice Baby....to make it look sparklie/snowie. Then topped it all off with Seche Vite.
*Excuse the blister on my thumb, I burnt it a couple days ago on the oven rack, ouchie!*
Again, I'm sorry about the cruddy pictures, I really need to fix my light box.....
What do you think?
