It's gonna be a long long time...

Hello!

I'm going to give this blog another shot, I definitely enjoy reading other people's, but please bear with me.

Here is my NOTD :
Amazing Blurple : China Glaze Man Hunt
Thumb and ring: Nails Inc Cornwall

Two coats of Man Hunt except for the ring where I only did one. Thumb has three coats and only one coat of Cornwall on the ring finger. I put Out The Door on the creme but not top coat for the "feather" fingers.

I love how this looks on my ring finger, more so than just the glitter on it's own. This is the only Nails Inc Feathers I purchased, though I did get two of the Sally Hansens Fuzzy Coat which I will try out next week.

What do you think about this look?


Thanks and have a good one!

More stripeys!

Continuing with my blue theme,  here issue another stripe mani,  using only Sinful Colors :
Base: Cinderella
Next: Savage
Next: Grecian Sun
Tips : What's Your Name

The two middle stripes are hard to distinguish between them, otherwise I really like this one.   I even got two compliments this morning.   I did these stripes freehand, like you couldn't tell.  I was trying to do a Fishtail mani,  and well, this is what I got!

Spur of the moment post

Here is my first attempt at stripes using scotch tape.   Not bad though not great.   More practice needed!

Bases alternating fingers :
Thumb,  middle and pinkie :
L'Oreal Now You Sea Me
Pointer and index :
Revlon Chic
Stripes on both fingers :
a-england Galahad

Thanks and have a good one!

My Royal Mani - Revlon Royal

Hello all,

Today in celebration of William & Kate's nuptials I bring you Revlon Royal!!!  I had to rush this mani a little because it was 2:30 am and I wanted it to be dry enough to take pictures before the wedding coverage started so my application wasn't the best.

1 coat OPI BC, 2 coats of Revlon Royal, 1 coat Zoya Armour, 1 coat Seche Vite

Even with the sloppy application I love how this turned out.  Revlon Royal is a gorgeous dark blue shade with a jelly finish.  It's the lighter cousin of Nars Midnight Express. Revlon's formula is wonderful.  The polish applied smoothly and only needed two coats.  I used Bundle Monster plate BM08 and Konad Princess Polish in white to add the crown.  ( Ha!  Even the stamp is done in a princess polish)

 I decided I needed more bling so I added a coat of Sally Hansen Diamonds to the thumb and ring finger of my right hand.  Of course I immediately smudged the thumb :(

Overall I love this shade.  It's so elegant and perfect for my Royal manicure.  

Revlon polishes are available at most drugstores in the US and retail for around $4.99.

That's all for now... I'm off to enjoy the wedding with my themed mani, cinnamon toast, and a spot of tea. :)
