Colour Mishmash Part Deux

Happy Saturday! Today is the day for planning my trip to NYC. And also unloading a whole bunch of swatches!

Here we go:

 OPI Call Me Gwen-Ever: Coral coral coral! I will wear this when I cosplay as one of the women of Mad Men. BUT WHICH ONE? Who am I kidding, obviously Joan.

 OPI Lucertainely Look Marvelous: Dark silver. Please and thank you!

 OPI Royal Rajah Ruby: For when you need your vamp turned up to 11.

 OPI You Don't Know Jacques: This colour is for cosplaying as an Upper East Side Lady Who Lunches (TM).

 Sally Hansen Deep Purple: Rawr. Dark purple with flashes of blue.

Sally Hansen Ivy League: Bright, almost tennis ball sheer green. Not for the faint of heart!

Zoya Blaze and Julep Vivian

A quick Christmas-inspired mani today. I love the combo of red and gold. So regal and joyful! So Ihave combined Zoya Blaze (a gorgeous red holo) and Julep Vivian (a fantastic gold glitter.)

I decided to buck against the trend and do an accnt nail on my pinkie. I know, I'm a rebel.

Merry Christmas!

Ombre Red



Hombre... for men.

 

 

That cowboy has nothing on Joey! NOTHING!

 

Where was I? Yes! Ombre nails! My sister didn't know what ombre was so she called them my "Hombre... for men" nails. Friends 4-Ever!

 



You know, when I'm trying to do an ombre manicure, I start thinking about how few colours I have. Hear me out! To do a proper ombre effect, the colours all have to have the same finish. I can't mix cremes, shimmers, foils and glitters. That would be silly. So I may have a billion reds, but I don't have a billion red cremes. And we all know that is a VERY big difference.

 

 

Hee hee, Hombre... for men. I'll stop now.

 

I used:

Pinkie: A England Lancelot
Ring: Essie Wicked
Middle: OPI Skyfall
Index: China Glaze Adventure Red-y
Thumb: Julep Delauney

*Note, Lancelot is a REALLY REALLY dark red. So dark that you can only see any hint of red under extreme light. But I still call it red!

Rainbow Nails!!

I have a secret (it's not a secret): I love colour waaaay too much. True fact: My space looks like a rainbow threw up all over it. So I decided to try doing a rainbow across my nails because rainbows are full of colour and we've established I love colour and I'm am a little bit crazy and wooo! Colour!

Ahem.

Check 'em out, 'kay?

Also, I stuck some glitter on the colours as well because that's how I roll.

Also also, check out some of the new Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez polishes! Some colours and glitters are hiding in there :)
