Love Yourself Manicure!

I was so over the pale yellow with sprinkles- decided I needed a very ME color- orange and went with one of my few OPI polishes- A Roll In The Hague from the Holland Collection. Three thin coats topped with a splash of Essence Special Effect Topper in Multi-Sparking and I am loving my nails- CND Stickey base and Poshe topcoat.

Love Yourself Manicure!

I was getting a bit stressed trying to do at least a FEW of the weekly/daily challenges, and was under a bit of condemnation when Claire from Purple Fairy Dust wrote about doing your nails just for yourself- (here) So I took a deep breath and forgot about the challenges- if I get there, I get there, otherwise... meh. This one makes me very very happy- Zoya Yara, a multi-faceted olive green with golden and green and maybe a few red or copper glitters in it. This polish made me smile from the first nail! It went on like a dream- everything I love in a polish. I put it over Seche Rebuild and Seche Clear. I had just gotten some nerdlacquer so I did a single coat of Aurum over one nail then added my favorite color, orange, dots to the others. OPI Roll in the Hague from their new Holland collection is amazing. Dense, creamy and a perfect bright orange cream. Seche Vite and Gelous over the glitter nails with Out The Door over the others.

And Matted- I prefer this actually!

Orange Done Right!

I've been very pleased with the beautiful linear holo known as Hits No Olimpo Demeter but was wanting to layer it to save the tiny 6ml bottle. Bettina recently launched a Disco line with a gorgeous orange shimmer (that turns green over black, promise!) so I layered Bettina Starfish then Hippie then Demeter- Demeter on its own is slightly peachy but no more! I present a true orange holo manicure!

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!

NAIL MAIL! My First Bettina Polishes!

and yes, there are TWO oranges, duh! One from the Resort collection and another from the Art Deco collection- a girl can never have too much orange polish....well, this girl anyway! I feel a skittles mani coming soon!
