OPI DS Extravagance Funky French

Hey hey, welcome back! Today's mani is a funky french tip I did a last week and never got around to blogging about it, I love the look of this, but unfortunately, it didn't last long. My nails chipped so badly the next day, it was absolutely ridiculous how bad it was, which is too, bad because I love OPI DS Extravagance - it has such depth!

Anyway, here it is :)

Yellow is the color of the week

Good evening! Sorry I didn't post at all this weekend, but I managed to catch the "death flu" (as I like to call it) and couldn't even bring myself to paint my nails. Yes, it was *that* bad, I had naked nails all weekend! Luckily, it seems to have passed quickly, and I'm well enough to do my nails again.

The "Powers That Be" have decreed that this week's color of the week is Yellow. I'm not a huge fan of yellow nail polish on me, it doesn't really agree with my skin tone, but I'll give it a whirl!

  
Sally Hansen + Floam = glitter gradient

This is technique is called a glitter gradient, and instead of your usual glitter, I used Floam! Fun, right? 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow, Floam for the glitter, topped with Seche Vite. I probably should have used 2 coats of Seche Vite, but, oh well.

What's your favorite yellow polish?

On Wednesdays we wear pink



Welcome to my very first Pink Wednesday! In my excitement, I *may* have gone overboard, but, oh well :)

I want to apologize in advance for the state of my cuticles, I've been working in the garage for the last two days and it's really reeking havoc on them.

Anyway, here it is:

Pink french tips

Pink Wednesday nails


This is two coats of OPI Mod About You, the tips are Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink, Sally Girl In Love on the accent nails - it's hard to tell in the pictures, but this is a pink glitter, all topped with Seche Vite.

Hope you enjoyed my first Pink Wednesday! I certainly loved doing it.

What’s your favorite pink polish?
