Malibu Barbie strikes again!

I was grooving on China Glaze's blue-gray Sea Spray and was attempting a PAA Monday Nail Challenge- Fierce Accent Nail and had just picked up this deep teal Revlon named Fashionista I found at Walgreens- I can't find anything on it, not a swatch or review- it was in a display labeled "New Colors" and they all were like nothing I had seen from Revlon before? Anyway, I made a flower with the teal then dotted it with Sonia Kashuk's chrome-on-crack Smoke and Mirrors and decided it was way too plain, so I laid a layer of Essence Edward over it. Seche Clear under and Seche Vite over. If I could wear blue, this would be perfect (and if I was 8 years old!) Good thing I have an understanding boss.

Thanksgiving orange manicures!

From the beautiful Bettina Resort collection, the pure orange Starfish- 2 coats (amazing coverage!) followed by 1 coat each Nubar White Polka Dot and Black Polka Dot. Seche to cover- please forgive tipwear- this is day three, could not get the orange to translate well.

Also, Paula did her own orange mani, SH Salon Complete Kook-A-Mango dotted with Orly Spark and Orly Fresh- even her right hand looks great!

unbelieveable mani!

Epic Green Weekend!

Did a group buy on Lynnderella's with a friend and I wound up with 2! eeek! The Glittering Crowd (the on with over 100 different glitters in it) and Funny Money! Green Green Green! So in honor of this stupendous occasion, I did twp layers of the deep dark metallic-yet-not-streaky Nubar Greener with an accent nail of one, yes one (thick) coat of Funny Money. I may never take this off. Go buy Lynnderellas here http://lynnderella-lynnderella.blogspot.com/  on her site (when she opens for sales) or from Leah here http://shop.llarowe.com/ when she gets stock in soon. (second day with a bit of tip wear- oh Seche Vite over Nubar, one coat Gelous and 2 coats Seche over glitter)

Nubar Jewels- from The Prisms Collection

I showed the bottle a few posts ago, now it's time for swatches! My camera phone hates this color, almost as much as I love it- and it is a true one-coater! I put two coats of Fingerprints Haute Taupe under it thinking it would be sparse and glittery, but NOOOOOOOOOOO! This is a grayed-bronzey-coppery shimmer polish with the chunky holo glitter in it- the first pic is inside the next two in full sun- twinkle twinkle!

And contrary to popular  reviews, one coat of Gelous and one of Seche Vite made it smooth as silk!

one more pic- inside NO flash:
