Wet n Wild Creepy Pumpkin Layered

I started with a coat of Zoya Jem which is just gorgeous! But I wanted to bring more orange out so I decided that I would put Creepy Pumpkin on top. It isn't what I meant to happen but I still love it.
One coat Gelous one coat Jem one coat Creepy Pumpkin and one coat Seche Vite.

L.A. Colors Amethyst

It's Monday, why does the weekend have to go so fast! Hope yours was good, I had a blast!
Today I have a Dollar General purchase for you. This is LA colors Amethyst. It cost a dollar and I love it. Its a purple/magenta jelly base with pink and blue glitter and a blue duo chrome flash.
Application was pretty easy base of Gelous 3 coats of Amethyst and a top coat of Seche Vite. If you find this buy it, it's gorgeous!

Essie Chinchilly with Sally Hansen HD DVD

I started with Essie Chinchilly, sorry for the lack of clean up. I usually wait until I am finished painting and everything is dry to do it. I wanted to show Chinchilly on its own before I added sparkles
This is one coat Gelous two coats Chinchilly. It is a brown leaning towards gray. Sometimes it almost looks like an army green, a definite chameleon. 

Then I added a layer of Sally Hansen HD DVD, one of my favorite toppers. I may not be very creative but I am consistent

This is one coat Sally DVD and one coat Seche Vite. It has a pretty blue to pink flash.

Kind of like Orly Rock Solid?

I had a chance to pick up Rock Solid but I skipped it. I still don't know if I regret it but after seeing swatch after swatch, I decided to try to recreate it using what I had. It isn't exact but I still like it.
I started with a coat of Gelous, two coats Pure Ice Kiss Me There, a coat of OPI Birthday Babe (my only silver, I don't think it looks very good on me) a coat of China Glaze White Cap and a coat of Color Club Starry Temptress Topcoat and a layer of Seche Vite. 
I wish it turned out darker, I don't like how bright birthday babe is, again I just don't think silver is for me. I wanted it to look more gritty and less smooth so thats where White Cap came in. Then I wanted some holo sparkles and Starry Temptress was happy to oblige. Sorry about the oily cuticles I just put on cuticle oil before I took pictures. It is much more Holographic in real life I am just bad a photographing it!

OPI Back in the Saddle

This is my OLDEST polish. I think I bought it sometime in High School.... which was in the ballpark of not quite ten years ago. It is a black label which I think means old formula. I had to add thinner but it worked out fine.
It looks a lot like Essie Braziliant. In reality it is much more muted, almost rusty or burnt orange. I like it but don't love it maybe it needs to grow on me. It has a really pretty golden shimmer to it, more like a metallic flash than shimmer. 
I did one coat Gelous two coats Back in the Saddle which was very easy to work with and a top coat of Seche Vite.
I am really starting to like my rounded nails but they don't photograph as well to me. 

Outdoor shade.

Sunny!

Color Club Space Case for PINK WEDNESDAY!

Yay! It's pink Wednesday and I finally have a pink to show you. Pink doesn't make it onto my nails too often so when it does I will have to remember to save it for Wednesdays!
My hubby got to pick this mani (probably why it's pink lol). I almost didn't listen to him but decided maybe I needed to step away from my comfort zone. One day was definitely enough! I was sooo ready to get it off my fingers lol. BUT it wasn't bad, the color is gorgeous. Easy application, one coat but mine was gloopy, probably need some thinner. I put the Starry Temptress Top Coat on top and I love the top coat!
Started with a coat of Gelous, one coat of Space Case, one coat Starry Temptress, one coat Seche Vite.

This is just Space case no top coat no Seche Vite, no cleanup so excuse the mess. It looks lumpy but it smoothed out really well once I put the topcoats on.

Now with the top coat!

Zoya Savita with a Funky French

This purple is a Zoya Matte Velvet called Savita. It goes on easily and it is easy to switch up because it looks good matte or with a shiny topcoat it lets the pink shimmer come out.
I decided to just make the tips shiny like a funky french. I loved wearing it but it didn't last long I had a chip within 8 hours! Maybe if I had a topcoat it wouldn't have chipped. 
I started with a coat of Gelous two coats of Savita and one coat of Seche Vite on the tips. 
ENJOY!

Sinful Purple Diamond

This purple caught my eye at Target. Its nice and fresh and girly but not terribly so.
This mani is one coat Gelous four thin coats Purple Diamond and one coat Seche Vite.
I'll let the pics speak for themselves, have a good weekend!

Orly Fowl Play

This is from the new Orly collection called Birds of a Feather. It was the main one that stood out to me among the collection ( also want Sweet Peacock but I'm living on a budget :).
I started with a base of Gelous. One coat of Sinful Dream On, because I wanted it to be more purple-y. Then one easy coat of Orly Fowl Play. It's a dark purple jelly with orange flakys and blue sparkles. Beautiful! I found mine at Ulta and there were at least 2 other bottles left after I picked mine up. I topped it with a coat of  Seche Vite. Sorry the sun wouldn't come out and let me use it to show off the flakes better but I know I will be wearing this again. 

Zoya Faye is GORGEOUS!

I originally had on a jelly sandwich, but it was a fail. Sooooo I started over with something I could wear to a baby shower tomorrow. I picked something in between boring and unique, to be muggle friendly.
I started with old faithful Gelous, two coats of Zoya Faye and a top coat of Seche Vite, btw the fire is still burning in my love affair with Seche. If you don't have it go get it!
So the formula on Faye was a little watery but still pretty easy to work with. I didn't have any trouble with it. I love how it looks even with just one coat, but did two so you couldn't see through. It is a lavender base with gold shimmer, PACKED with gold shimmer. So much so that it looks like a rosy gold sometimes without a hint of lavender. I only have three Zoyas but I have plans for many many more. My only complaint would be the shimmer would NOT come off my skin after clean up, anybody know what I did wrong?

                                The above two are indoor, kitchen lights.

                                These are outdoor, behold the glorious shimmer!
