New Technique

I saw this technique on the China Glaze Facebook. It didn't turn out quite as I had hoped, but I guess its okay for a first try.

For the marbling I used China Glaze Liquid Leather and China Glaze Rainbow.

For the colors I used

OPI - Color So Hot It Burns
OPI - Atomic Orange
OPI - Need Sunglasses
OPI - Green-Wich Village
OPI - What's With the Catitude
OPI - Ogre The Top Blue
OPI - Planks A Lot

I really like this technique so I'll be working on perfecting it.

Orly - Mysterious Curse

Hope everyone is having a good week. Today I have one for you from the new Orly Dark Shadows collection.

Mysterious Curse - This is a dark purple/dark blue duochrome shimmer. Unfortunately the pics don't show this polish half as well as it looks in real life. It has a really cool shimmer duo effect.

Topped with Seche Vite

Layla Flash Black

This polish is totally awesome. I love it. It seems the problem I had with the first mani was not using a base coat as their direction suggested so be sure to use a basecoat These pics were taken without a topcoat, but when I tried it with a topcoat I stil got a nice holoo effect, just not quite as intense as without. Yep I love love love this polish.

Layla Holo Polishes

I don't who said that Friday the 13th is unlucky, today was totally my lucky day. I stopped by Sally's and picked up the Orly Dark Shadows Collections and then I stopped at Ulta and got 4 of the new Layla holo polishes.

Now I don't usually do this, but I've swatched here for you. I screwed up the mani, I went ahead and put Seche Vite over it on my nails and completely lost the holo effect. So as soon as I redo them, I'll post a full mani.

I really the holo effect on all of these polishes. I'm thinking about going back for the other 4 I didn't buy. These polishes are a bit pricey - $15.50 for 10ml as opposed to 15 ml for a regular sized bottle of polish, but they are totally worth it.

From left to right:

Ocean Rush - This is a really pretty medium blue holo

Ultra Violet - This is a sweet lavender holo

Mercury Twilight - This is a silver holo that gives 61 a run for its money

Flash Black - Great black holo

Finger Paints - Hipnotic - Pink Wednesday

I have a fun for Pink Wednesday. A few days ago I stopped by Sally's and was pleasantly surprised to find that Finger Paints has come out with a magnetic collection.

Finger Paints - Hipnotic - This is a raspberry polish. I really like the way the magnetic design turned out on this one, and its an awesome pink.

Sinful Colors - Pull Over and Fantasy Maker Creepy Pumpkin

Its been quite a while since I did a new mani. My oldest son moved out on his own and this past week I've been consumed with turning his old room into my nail polish room. Almost finished. I have to say the Zoya Tru mani really held up well, it was still looking pretty decent today. But anyway here is a new one

Sinful Colors - Pull Over - This is a bright sunshine yellow. Its kind of streaky but it eventually settled.

Fantasy Maker - Creepy Pumpkin - This is an orange littler jelly. Not bad on the application pretty normal for a jelly.

Happy Easter to all of those who celebrate.

Zoya Tru

I have a simple one color mani for today, but its an awesome color.

Zoya - Tru - this is a grapey purple shimmer with pink/purple micro glitter. Great application and coverage. I love this one.
