Haute Fashion- Recreating a Jin Soon Choi Mani in Allure Magazine

Grabbed a bunch of LVX and made this simple stark cool mani- perfectly refreshing...
Seche Vite over....

happened to match some flyers I was working with today!!

my inspiration

NOTD OPI Mermaid's Tears

from the wonderful Pirates of the Caribbean collection from 2011

two coats, a teeny bit patchy in pics, but not in real life. Poshe over.

Lilypad Lacquer Cayman island delight

yep, the lower case is how it's actually printed! LL got it goin' on, folks! I needed one of those "my nails are naked and it's bedtime" manis that would dry fast, not need a bunch of coats and look great. Et voila! A bright teal smooth foil with a bit of holo. Two thin coats. Great wear time with Cult Nails Wicked Fast over.

Quick NOTD

Brilliant Deborah Lippmann 80's Rewind creams from a couple summers passed..

Tomato Reds with Literary Lacquer Greatest Treasure and Essie Meet Me at Sunset

I was feeling jellyish, maybe leaning crellyish, and remembered (how do I always forget?) how absolutely perfect the Essie brush is for my deeply curved nails. I was matching a sweater, so I grabbed the mini MMAS from summer 2011. I wasn't in the mood for nail art, but wanted to jazz it up a bit, so I added a few nails of the gloriously red orange LitLat. They aren't anything at all alike, although they look close in the bottle. (second rule of nail polish, the first being "pee before polishing" is "never trust the bottle") Ah weel, I'm happy and my nails look mahvelous!! Cult Nails Wicked Fast topcoat. (gonna miss this when it runs out)
