Fourth of July Manicure!

Happy late American Independence Day! Here is my manicure in all it's gore. I used the plastic bag method to do this which I am way too lazy to explain. I did it for the stripes.

The base color is OPI Swimsuit... Nailed It! and I used Wet n Wild French White and China Glaze Hey Sailor for the stripes.

I am very very lazy today so thats just about it! And just FYI, I hate hate hate how this turned out...

Happy celebrating,

Color Club Metamorphosis

Hey guys! Today for you, I have a complete stunner: Color Club Metamorphosis (aka the only Color Club I own...).

There you can see the purple shimmer. Kinda...

IT IS AWESOME!!

Metamorphosis is a teal/blue/green (I still can't decide) shimmer/foil. It is... so hard to describe. It is everything and everything else at the same time.

I did three coats and it was lovely.

Can't say much; try it yourself.

Happy foiling,

Butter LONDON Knees Up BLOGOVERSARY!!!!

Hello people of the polish world!!! I know you've already seen a post from me today (probably like within the past hour), BUT I have a reason I promise.
Today is May 15th! And do you know what that means????????? One year. One year of blogging to the world about polish (and whatever is on my mind at that moment). One lovely year. This is probably the longest I've kept up something this consistent that I LOVE. I LOVE blogging about polish, I LOVE wearing polish, and I LOVE buying polish (though my wallet may not...).
So anyway, here is my celebratory ONE YEAR BLOG-O-VERSARY manicure!

BUTTER LONDON KNEES UP

A red chrome-ish polish

Full sunlight

Bottle shot

Such a gorgeous polish (that I am actually currently wearing)! What I did was put on a very thin coat of base coat to prevent it from bubbling and I put on two coats the right way; all brushstrokes in the same direction, all even, etc. This way it looks AH-MAY-ZING! I got this last summer (umm and I paid full price for it ($15 later...)) to replace my mini bottle of an OPI polish (that I ADORE) and I was waiting for a special time to wear it, like when my nails got longer. But I thought a blog-o-versary was a special enough time :).

So 2 coats of polish and my usual base + top coat. Boy does this baby make my nails stand out!
OH! Aaaaaand this is my 100th post!!!! 100 posts in 1 year!!!! (and 27 followers gained ;D) I love you all and thank you for supporting me!

Happy Blog-O-Versary!

OPI Swimsuit... Nailed It! and OPI Sit Under the Apple Tree

The result of randomly choosing two polishes from my stash.

Still love this. Gotta love this.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...

:-/

Note to self: layer!

Double accent manicure.

Blue = win. Greenish-yellow = not so much. All I can really say. I need to do something with SUTAP or else I will hate it. Aka like here! P.S. original Swimsuit... Nailed It! post here! (even though it looks better here anyway)

Happy accenting,

OPI Swimsuit... Nailed It!

Swimsuit... Nailed It! is a blue foil. And oh boy does it stain. I love love love it on my fingers and toes. But I had it on my toes for a month and a half or so (touching it up whenever it chipped, not very often), and I tried to remove it right before Valentine's Day and it made me look like a smurf :P. It was funny but annoying. To prevent this, take my word and USE A BASE COAT NO MATTER WHAT.

All in all a gorgeous color. I just received my second bottle of it yesterday (via giveaway, will post about the winnings soon) and I couldn't be happier. I wear this ALL the time.

Happy foiling,
