Manicure Monday

So I totally hated this mani, but still decided so show you my fail >__< I wanted to make a milky glitter sandwich and my sheer creme was just too creamy. I did a base of NYC Long Wearing in French White Tip then did a layer of Spoiled in Trust Fund Baby for the glitter.  I topped it off with another layer of white.  I was hoping since the white was somewhat sheer that this would work.  And it totally didn't.  But hey, I tried!

So one of my friends gave me the best give ever! A set of 5 double ended dotting tools! *squee* Soooo this means lots and lots of dot manis while I play with my new toy. So of course I had to do something with different size dots!

I started out with a base of three layers of wet n wild megalast in Venomous Vixen.  I then did the biggest dots in NYC Long Wearing in Black Lace Creme.  Then the medium dots in wet n wild Wild Shine in Metallica.  The tiny dots were NYC Long Wearing in French White Tip.

I LOVE this mani! It is fun and easy.  My right hand even looks pretty good.  Can't wait to play with more dots.

Oh how I love this color.  It is such a perfect glittery peachy color.  It screams summer.  So of course I'm wearing it on a freezing cold day.  Yup, I'm logical like that. (ok so I live in California. "Freezing" is anything below 70 lalalala) This polish is one of those that I just keep looking at all day.  Its that pretty! And of course, I can't get how gorgeous this polish is in pics. Trust me, its fab!

Today is another crackle. This mani starts with a story.  For the longest time I have wanted a bronze nail polish.  Don't know why, just wanted it lol.  Finally found NYC's In a New York Color Minute in Backstage Brown and snatched it up.  I put it on...and it just did not work with my skin tone...at all. It isn't as bad in the pictures, but in real life it makes my skin look oddly washed out.

Not wanting to start over, I decided to try a layer of LaRosa Crackle in black.  Now I am in love this this mani! The crackle really saves this polish.  Photos below are with topcoat.
