ABC Challenge - G is for Green

I have been BEYOND busy the last 2 weeks but I am excited to finally get my G post up. I took the easy way out with this one, G is for Green. I didn't like my selection of G-named polish so I went with a color and brand I haven't tried yet. This beauty is Layla Ceramic Effect CE54. Overall I really liked this polish, it was easy to apply and dried fast. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to try some more from Layla, they have some beautiful colors.

Splatter Manicure

Happy Friday! I am so happy the week is over, its been a long one for sure! Today I have something I think I am going to try more often. I decided to use my lovely base from Wednesday's challenge to attempt a splatter manicure. I've seen it on several blogs and its been on my list of nail art to try for a few months now. I'm actually pretty impressed with the way it turned out!

My base is Essie Mojito Madness and for my splatter I used Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear in White On and Blue Me Away. I had a few bubbles pop up with the white polish, but I think over all it turned out awesome. I used 2 coats KB Shimmer Clearly On Top for my top coat. I have to say it's my new favorite top coat, it has great application and dries quickly.

After looking at this manicure for a while it kind of reminded me of the earth, you know, blue - ocean, green - land, white - clouds. Am i right....or could I just be seeing things?? ;)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

ABC Challenge - E is for Essie

Hey ladies! Today's letter for the ABC Challenge is E. I decided to go with Essie Mojito Madness. I am obsessed with the name and color of this polish. First off, I love me a good mojito, who doesn't? Second, green is my favorite color, and this is the PERFECT green in my eyes. Two coats of this bad boy and Ive got full coverage, I love it! It reminds me of summer time and laying in the grass :) Have a wonderful day everyone!

Color Club Ho-Ho-Holly

I am a huge University of Oregon fan so I thought my first nail post could be Duck related. While at Sally’s, I picked up an awesome green foil shimmery polish by Color Club called Ho-Ho-Holly. This polish is part of their 2012 Winter Affair collection, there are 6 shades total and they’re all gorgeous. I decided to use Sephora’s OPI Its Real 18k Gold top coat to complete my Oregon look. I’m so loving these nails right now! They look killer in the sunlight too!
