Twinsie Tuesday, Animal Print

Happy Tuesday friends.  Time for a Twinsie post...this week we are rocking animal prints!

I chose a leopard print.  If I had had a zebra stamping plate, I would've done that, I love that look.  But, intsead, I tried my hand at some freehand nail art.

Artificial light.

Check out the other Twinsie's to see what animal print they have chosen!

Twinsie Tuesday Discontinued Polish

Hiya friends and welcome to another edition of Twinsie Tuesday!

Today we are swatching discontinued polishes.  I had a few limited edition polishes, but I had turned those into frankens, so I'm totes cheating here and someone call me out on it if you know different than me!  I'm guessing that my 2 polishes are discontinued, cuz I haven't seen them around in awhile!

I used Avon Cotton Candy for the base, and Nicole for OPI Gold Texture which is the crackle. 

So am I wrong? haha

OK, check out the other looovely ladies who participate in Twinsie Tuesday's...

Cloud Mani

Hello Lovelies,

I tried a cloud mani!  I'm not sure who came up with this cute design, but I absolutely love it!  My girls will definately be sporting some cloud mani's soon! 

The burgundy base is Avon Midnight Plum, the first cloud is Loreal Party Hop and the pink part of the cloud is Avon Cotton Candy.

Next time I'll use more opaque colors.  I had to do the coats quite thick to get coverage, so the whole mani ended up being too thick for my liking.

 

 This is the first set of clouds using Party Hop

 And here is Midnight Plum on it's own.  This polish was super streaky and left bald spots after 3 coats.  Annoying!

 

A green Shine of the Times

Happy Saturday!  We woke up to snow here again in BC this morning.  As long as we don't get snowed in for a whole week, I don't mind it!

I can't get enough of Essie Shine of the Times.  So here it is layered over Avon's Jade.  I found photographing the flakies in indirect light helped them show up better. 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!  We are so excited : )

I was so happy when my Avon lady called me yesturday and told me that my polish's were in!  I bought 2 Violetta Sparkles, one for me, and one for one of you!  I have a couple other polish's I'd like to include in my little giveaway.  More on that after Christmas : )

I am loooving the gold flakes in this polish.

I love everything about this polish, except how long it took to dry!

Merry Christmas everyone, hope your holiday is magical!

Avon's Tweed is a lovely creamy red-purple polish with a gorgeous purple shimmer.

2 thick coats made this perfectly opaque with no vnl.  My favorite!
