Pantone Colors for Fall on BL Bride

Mani Monday

Untrieds-

OPI French Quarter for Your Thoughts and Above the Curve You're Turning Ne-On! FG is a cement gray from the Touring America collection. It went on well, I love the large brush on my big nails, but it took three coats on a couple nails. I placed the glitters in YTN by dabbing the polish on a foam applicator so it would soak up most of the clear base (it took some dunking to get enough glitter out of the bottle), then placed the glitters pretty much where I wanted them. These are really cool matte neon and black and white glitters- RECTANGLES anyone?Dazzle Dry and Poshe over.

Above the Curve Wisteria and Cecilia

OK, so then Crumpet made me buy purple. Yeah, purple. And now I have it on four fingers, the other six sporting blue. What is happening to me???? But oh, what purple and blue- thick creamy rainbow grape purple and ocean blue. Two coats and a dense coverage sparkling with holographic loveliness. Both applied well, Cecilia may need a touch of thinner, but I used it as it came this time. Dazzle Dry over. Yum.

Oh, Elevation!

Sure wish I knew how to pronounce Xixabangma, but I bet my kids would think I was swearing at them if I did. Nonetheless, this is a gloriously deep blue-leaning olive cream with a classy blue shimmer throughout. Perfect application, two coats. Amazing polish at a very reasonable price.

Home of the Untempered Schism

I'm starting to get excited about the return of Dr. Who, with the 50th anniversary special then the 12th Doctor. I managed to snag this Nerd Lacquer and a couple others in the last random appearance of Amanda in the polish world back in June. So glad I did- it's a gorgeous copper gold metallic base stuffed with gold glitters, tiny red speck glitters, two sizes of matte black, a faint sprinkle of tiny holo glitters and, the most unique of all,  small slightly sage GREEN holo glitters. Not wanting to waste a precious drop, with this beauty being a tad sheer, I layered it over one thin coat of Essence Golden Sands, an almost perfect match for the golden base in HOTUTS. I used a layer of Gelous then Poshe to make it smooth. The glitters lay quite flat and applied almost perfectly. Amazing-
