I got a little glitter crazy

Hi,

I'm in the mood for glitter. I usually am not a glitter fan and I don't lnow how to explain this sudden urge to bear disco balls on my fingertips...

For this manicure I used 1 coat of Dior's Waterlily as a base (light warm green) and added 1 coat of Purge from LA Girls glitter addict over top (green glitter in a clear base). Purge. What a horrible name for such a nice lacquer...

My pictures don't do this mani justice and you just have to imagine how sparkly this was.

I absolutely loved this manicure, got many many compliments on it , and have to admit it made me feel like Poison Ivy the whole time I wore it!

What do you think of this combo? Would you wear it or is too far off from your comfort zone?

Thanks for reading!

Dusty Dior

Hello my dears,

How have you all been doing?

Today I have a stunning dusty turquoise polish to show you: Dior's Saint Tropez.

This polish just came out and I jumped on it as soon as I saw it. It's dusty quality is just so special and very different from those über bright turquoise lacquers I'm used to seeing. I'm in love with a polish....yet again!

The formula was great: opaque in two coats, fast drying, self leveling and very shiny. I didn't even use a topcoat.

To spice things up on the third day, I added some sparkle: OPI's Pirouette my whistle (from the New York Ballet collection).
This glitter is great because it isn't too sparkly and looks almost as if you added a sheer polish over top in a very glitter sandwich-esque fashion.

So, what do you think of this beauty?

Thanks for reading!

National Feral Cat Day: Teal tips for kitties

Hello again,

You might have read Scrangie's post about this, but tomorrow is National Feral Cat Day. If you haven't read her post, you can read it here

Quoting Scrangie:

"The Teal Cat Project is asking people to wear teal nails to show their support. For more information on how to help or to find an event near you, please visit The Teal Cat Project (also on Twitter and Facebook) and Alley Cat Allies."


So please wear teal on your tips to support this important cause.

To support this cause I did this special teal moon mani using Dior's Nirvana as a base and China Glaze's For Audrey for the dots.
