Orange Glitter (subtitle: With Love to Crumpet)

So my friend (and I must say, after what she did I use the term with reservation....j/k)  and fellow polish addict Debbie Crumpet showed me a beautiful orange holo she had desecrated with PURPLE CRACKLE!! The horror! The unmitigated gall! I had to sooth my splintered soul my getting out my baby oranges and letting them know I would NEVER do such a horrible thing to them! So to wipe the terrible picture from my brain, I did a manicure of OPI Ginger Bells! (yes, there is a ! in the name, ridiculous OPI seems to like exclamations and hyphens an inordinate amount) and after two coats over Orly Bonder dabbed some Lynnderella Cauldron Drippings and Change also on one nail. Gelous and SV topcoat. Enjoy, pretty oranges! Be free!

So where was I when they passed out this polish? Revlon Ocean is a gorgeous teal metallic that goes on like butter- streaky after one coat, and probably needs three, but I was planning on putting the fabulous Lynnderella Change over it. Cleanup was easy peasy, so I don't think there will be staining. (always a plus with blue) The glitter has a slight golden tint that greened up the Ocean a bit (Ok with me) and I think I will wear this all week if the Gelous and Seche Vite allow.  Base coast is Seche Rebuild.

New Year's Eve nails- and another green weekend!

This was so hard, deciding what to wear for the last day of the year. Would it be one or more (skittle maybe?) of the new dark franken holos I had made? Would it be my beloved Lizard Belly? Or maybe one, no, ALL FIVE of the Finger Paint flakies over black. Or Clairvoyant (aka Unicorn Puke) over anything? Well, you guessed it, with the holiday falling on a weekend, it HAD to be green. But not just ANY green- Zoya Midori is to green like NfuOh 61 is to silver- sitting in the bottle, it looks like a gold-leaning  green shimmer/metallic. And since I was planning alot of glitter over it, I figured that would be OK. But as soon as I started applying this over a coat of Zoya Get Even- I realized this was more like a tiny golden glass flecked apple green. Applied creamy and dreamy with barely any streaking and perfect at two coats. Untried down: 1. But it IS NYE, after all, so I dragged out the big guns, Lynnderellas! Three fingers on each hand got a single heavy coat of She Lived in a Swamp, the others got two coats of Change. Untrieds: total 3 down! Gelous and two coats of Seche Vite and I am ready for a three day weekend! Bring it on, 2012, I'm waiting!
