Fall Leaves Manicure

Left Hand

 It's been getting a bit colder here lately, so what better time than to post a falling leaves manicure. For this manicure, I used Love & Beauty Cucumber Melon scented nail polish, Love & Beauty Olive, OPI Rising Star and OPI Take the Stage. Both OPI are from the Holiday 2009 Burlesque Collection.

I decided to show both my hands because I really liked this manicure.

Here's a close up of the leaves:

Swatch: Love & Beauty Light Green Cucumber Melon Scented Nail Polish

Love this color! It is a nice light green that looks great on my nails. And, it really is scented. Now, it doesn't last as long as the Funky Fingers scented polish scents do, but it lasted enough for me to notice it did have a scent.

Swatch: China Glaze Midnight Kiss

China Glaze Midnight Kiss

China Glaze Midnight Kiss is from the 2011 Holiday Collection. As you can see in the photo, they all had silver caps. I like this because it seems like it is a bunch of super-micro-glitter that comes together to make a muted metallic gold look.

You can see in the photo is is still a little sheer, but it applies nicely and builds opacity.

Announcing BEAUTOMETRY.COM

I just opened my own nail polish online etailer site. I am currently selling 2 brands of nail polish, A England and Glitter Gal. The reason I started it is because there are so many awesome foreign brands of nail polish that we cannot get here in the United States that easily.

The idea is to provide foreign brands at an affordable price shipped domestically. This saves you money and especially saves you time and money on shipping!
Click here to check it out!

I will be also posting some swatches I did of some of the polishes on this blog to show the awesome polishes. I especially love the holographic selection from Glitter Gal and the A England collections are beautiful and VERY long lasting.

Stay Tuned... Announcement!

Well, I sure didn't follow that resolution very well now did I?
I bet everyone is wondering where I have been lately? I have an announcement shortly that I have been working on for the past 4 months and am very excited to let everyone know!!

STAY TUNED!!!

Swatch - OPI Did It On Em

OPI Did It On Em is a bright green from the 2012 Nicki Minaj collection. It is really bright on the nails and easily noticeable. I think it will be a great spring color!

Superbowl 2012 Manicure!!

I don't really watch football, but I like doing my nails an we were going to a Superbowl party. So why not?

 

This is what my nails looked like with just the base colors on them. I used Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Going Green and OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air for the accent nail.

 Here is each hand with closeups of the respective artwork. I made a goal post on the pointer of my left hand and a football on the pointer of my right hand. I wanted it to be like a football flying over the goalpost. I used various colors to achieve this look including the Layla Magneffect in Golden Bronze.

Thumb shot

Here is my eye look. I used a bright green in the corners, darker green in the middle and brown to create a smokey look.
