Brown/gold layering

This was an idea from my friend K who sent me this amazing OPI DS (((thank you))).  I would have never thought about this, since Desire looks so great on its own at 2 coats, but this is so much more magical.  I rarely wear browns, and I had to do some digging through my stash to find the perfect base color for this.  Needless to say, I don't want to take this off.

Layering Order:
OPI Nail Envy
2 coats Eliana Attitude
1 coat OPI DS Desire
Sally Hansen Diamond Flash Topcoat

Cherry Red Gradient (Nubbins Style)

I am so bummed out that I broke a nail, and it was so evident that I had to nubbinize.  I like doing different things when my nails are this short though.  Yesterday, I wore Summer Skittles and today I am wearing a really dark shade that otherwise looks weird on long nails.  This red gradient is what I wore on Saturday, it's kind of fiery.

Random pics from my phone

Hey lovelies :) I'm finally on vacation.  I was so busy some days that I couldn't take pictures and so these never made it to the blog >.< these are raw, low quality, uncropped, hope you don't mind that and just enjoy the mini spam.  If you have questions about the names, let me know and I'll try to remember.

Mosaic Lacquer Best Friends over Tom Ford Viper

Remember when I posted Futz and I mentioned that they added an extra to my order?  Well, this was it, a full sized multi-color glitter.  It is so gorgeous, and the formula is so good.  I love the little red hearts and the way all the colors complement each other.  If don't mind the home-made labels, you can get your Best Friends here.  The Tom Ford is probably dupey to OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight, which I used to own at some point, but the jelly feel of this one is unbeatable.

Layering Order:
3 coats Tom Ford Viper
1 coat Mosaic Lacquer Best Friends
Models Own 3 in 1 Topcoat

Shimmer Josephine

Disclosure

This is the newest addition to the Shimmer family.  It's a simple two-coater pink glitter with blue accents.  This might be layered, but the base is slightly tinted pink, so it might change the color of the base you use.  I like it by itself, it provides great coverage, applies well and dries fast.  This was not too bumpy, and I used the Shimmer Glass Topcoat which made it very smooth.
