Nfu Oh #61

 I lemmed #61 for the longest of times and was finally able to acquire it during the latest re-stock. The only thing is that it's kind of a dud. The batch that I ordered from has a foil look to it in the shade. A lot of people were upset over this and while I understand their frustration, I am quite happy with mine. Yea, it is a foil in the shade but in the sun... well it's just like any other holo.

Shade.

Indoor light.

 I actually prefer this silver holo over my China Glaze OMG because it's not as dull looking when you're in the shade. I love that it looks like a silver foil indoors, but still get that holo effect outside. ^_^

Hello Kitty by Sephora Blueberry and Lynnderella Connect the Dots

 Anyone order more Connect the Dots? No? Ok, fine. I suppose now is as good a time as any to let you in on a little secret. Connect the Dots is THE best polish ever and I cannot get enough of it. I long to wear with every creme polish, but I force myself to resist the temptation. If I hadn't started a blog, I would probably, scratch that, I WOULD wear this polish 365 days a year. As much as I love it, I have actually only wore it four times and these pictures are a few months old. I came across them when I was cleaning out my crappy pictures and thought I would share them with you!

 This is a really cool combo and not only because it involves Connect the Dots. Blueberry is also one of my favorites. I have worn it as many times as I have Connect the Dots and while four times doesn't seem like much. Trust me when you have hundreds of polishes, four times is A LOT. ^_^

Spa Ritual Illumination w/ OPI Pink Shatter

 I don't recall if I mentioned in any of my previous posts, but for the majority of this month I will be posting pictures of all the mani's I did in October that weren't Halloween related. Just wanted to put that out there, since my previous posts have been nubbins and now they're long. Didn't want anyone to think that my nails magically grew overnight! I am currently not taking pictures of my nails because of the two huge breaks I had that make my nails uneven, but once they get nicely evened out I'll start posting recent pictures. It might be another two weeks for that to happen though. =(

 Today's post is a polish from Spa Ritual's Twinkle Collection. This is the only one I picked up, but I think I need a couple more now that I saw swatches. When I bought this polish, there weren't many people with swatches, so it was a bit difficult for me to decide if I wanted any. I ended up just picking this one up because I was interested in getting a dense silver glitter. Well, it is silver but it's not JUST a plain silver glitter polish. There are actually holographic glitters mixed in there as well! I loved how much this polish sparkled in the sun. I used three coats to make sure I covered any bald spots.



THEN, I decided I needed to try out my Pink Shatter. This was the perfect pairing, but I felt a little too girly for my taste. Maybe if I was going to a ball it would be ok, but it was a bit much for everyday. Yea, this coming from the girl who can't stop wearing blue nail polish. =>

 I suppose I could wear it everyday, but pink polish is not my thing. Don't get me wrong. I love pink as much as Barbie does, but I don't love it much on my nails. However, in pictures it looks pretty cool. ^_^

Purple Glitter and Flake Sandwich

 This is another glitter and flake sandwich I did. I used one coat of Finger Paints Amethyst Atelier, topped with a coat of Ruby Kisses All Purpled Out, a coat of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure and one last coat of Ruby Kisses All Purpled Out. I had a little too much fun taking pictures of this layering, but enjoy the pictures!

 

 I don't normally use props, but me and my husband were having an impromptu picnic and when I was holding the flower I saw so many different colors that I just had to take pics. Also, I want to tell you that I loved this mani so much that I kept it on for seven days and the best thing about it was that I had ZERO chips. My husband even told me he was tired of seeing it, so I knew it was time to take it off. ^_^
