Going Vintage with Finger Paints Fall Fashionista 2011 Colors

Retro 70's mani with Vintage Velvet and Cordur-Orange on a base of Catwalk Queen. All dense creamy colors that make me happy. Cult Nails Wicked Fast over with a bit of smearing.

Come ON fall!!!!

Can't Wait can't wait for cooler weather to come so I dragged out my trusty fave fall orange, Finger Paints Cordur-Orange. Wish I'd had the sense to get a back up. Two  coats

Lacquistry is BACK!!!!

SO SO happy Jenna is back up and running! After taking QUITE a while off from her etsy shop to concentrate on customs, then replacing HUNDREDS of bottles of polish unasked, at her own expense because she heard a few glitters may have been bleeding (what character!!) she's back in spades with a new fall collection, a Halloween coming up, a small Thanksgiving, etc etc. so many beautiful glitters on the way! I snagged the full set of six fall colors and have two here today. I love to layer over opaque creams, so I started with two coats each of the dreamy creamy FingerPaints Catwalk Cream, a perfect dupe for the 60's appliances color Harvest Gold. And if you know what that is, you're over 50. The brown I chose is Catrice's Bruno Brownani (that name,really???) a dense deep chocolate cream. Two thin layers of the goldendelicious Laquistry Corn Maize and the red/gold/brown glitterparty that is Cornucopia, a heavy layer of Gelous and Seche Vite and I am ready for fall!
Here are Jenna's descriptions:

Corn Maize:  Corn Maize is poppin’ with varying shades of yellow, gold, and even a bit of white “kernels” in a clear base sprinkled with crystalline yellow glitter. Dappled throughout are pieces of golden corn silk- (bar glitter).

Cornucopia: Cornucopia is a medley of 25 different micas and glitters ranging from deep browns, oranges and gold to rich reds, golden yellows, and copper in a slightly brown tinged base. Cornucopia’s largest glitter is mini-hex.

Just try to catch her next opening, HERE but watch out, I may run you over!

Love Yourself manicure- Ziggy Stardust!

Kirsten at All That Glitters is another wonderful etsy seller- the getting-famous Spotty Dottie polishes, Plum and Plummer, Space Rock, all hitting the nail polish scene like gangbusters. (you can find her here ) I obtained this beautiful peachypinky glittery wonder from a dear friend (you KNOW who you are!) The base is a slightly colorshifting polish- gold to coral/pink that reminds me of Nina Ultra Pro Molten Gold, a brand exclusive to Sally's. I layered two coats over FingerPaints Circus Peanuts to get a completely opaque look, but by itself I think three or four coats would do the same. Gelous and Seche Vite over for a totally smooth finish (unusual and very nice for a chunky glitter) I DID pick a few bar glitters off with tweezers :)

Love yourself Mani!

I did very little for the Spring PFC Challenge and finally had the time to do a pastelly one- but I had to incorporate several things at once- multi-colored bases, contrast dots on white and glitter topcoat. The bases are Barry M in Peach Melba and FingerPaints in Choco Mint. The glitters are Windestine (an etsy seller) in Star Light (over the peach) and Dancing in the Rain over the mint. Fairly smooth glitters too, only needed one coat of Poshe.

Happy Birthday Adam Joseph! (my grandson)

And here is the birthday mani your Uncle Josiah picked for you: One coat Lynnderella's Glittering Crowd (over 100 different glitters in this party bottle) over 1 coat  Fingerpaints OuttaSight Orange. Gelous under and over as well as a thick coat of Seche Vite (may need another)

 here is OuttaSight Orange one coat- pretty orange and pink glass fleck- nearly a one-coater, I would have used two if I wasn't adding glitter.

 and here is the birthday boy!
