Essie - Strange French

I'm not sure what was going on here! I picked up Essie's kisses and bises at CVS for $2.22. I told my husband, "If you see Essie for $2, you buy it!" But it's kind of sheer and weird...but yet still awesome! For some reason I thought some french tips in Sally Hansen's Kumquat would be cute. You be the judge?

Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow

I finally got my hands on Nfu-Oh 60. Looking at it I new it would look great with a deep, dark green...

And I remembered Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow sitting in my untried pile!

Somehow, I didn't do this totally awesome combo justice. I got bubbles in it for some weird reason. I swear it looked so much cooler in person.

I loved this, it was a really fun weekend mani!

Christmas Inspired Tips

I had a bad day last Thursday, so to cheer myself up, I cam home and did something a little festive!

I don't have the steadiest hand, so I was pretty proud of my work here! Although, you can see on some of my fingers where I didn't wait for the Emerald Sparkle to dry enough before I swiped on my top coat...oops.

Then Friday, I promptly came down with a nasty cold, so I didn't get to wear this any further than my front yard.

The glitter is "Golden Enchantment" and the Art pen I picked up at the Dollar Tree.

There is the ES drag I was talking about...ooo and a little staining on my nails...eep!


Anywhoo...

I liked it so much, I tried again. This time going for a "snowy" effect.

I used, OPI "Dazzled by Gold" Zoya "Snowsicle", Golden Enchantment, City Lights and a silver Art Pen.

Behold:

I liked this one, but I didn't notice how sheer DbG was until I was outside.

Definitely had the chilly/frosty/sparkly snow effect I was looking for!

I'm with Brad starring Merry Midnight tips...

I've been obsessed with Merry Midnight lately.
"I'm with Brad" wasn't quite what I hoped it would be.

I thought it needed something a little "extra".

I really loved how this came out and wore it for about 4 days, a long time for me!

I don't think these pictures quite captured how awesome this mani was! But, I tried. Now I want to try Merry Midnight tips on every polish I have!
