Orly Nite Owl

Brown brown brown! An underrated colour, methinks. A nice tan or deep brown can be so lovely. Case in point: Orly Nite Owl.

Orly Nite Owl: Light brown with silver shimmer. It's so cute. 

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!

Butter London Scuppered

So I finally saw The Hobbit the other day. I have... mixed feelings, but we can all agree the Dwarves are the best, right? Good, we're all agreed.

Naturally, I had to do my nails for the event. I chose Butter London Scuppered, a delightful copper-y bronze with green glitter accents. It's very earthy but shimmery. Essentially, after watching The Hobbit, I decided it was perfect for the dwarves!

Yup, this is the choice Dwarf party colour...

China Glaze Midtown Magic + BundleMonster 315

Oooooo a pretty brown!

I always feel a nice brown is hard to find. There is a fine line between "sexy chocolate" and "poop". Sometimes the line is very hard to find, indeed. But not today! Today I have China Glaze Midtown Magic from their Metro Collection. Shimmery dark brown! Lit from within! Gold highlights! What's not to love?

Recently, I had gotten the BundleMonster 2012 plates, and oh boy are they fun! There are some really interesting designs (although I must point out the 'full nail' designs are lies. Damn lies! My thumb is too big. And they juuuust fit on my regular nails if they're not too long. Boo-urns!). So my adaption has been to do a "French tip" but with the design in the tip. I found a nice flowery one from #315. I'd like to think I pull it off...

It's amazing what you can do with French tip stickers. Did you know, I've never had an actual French manicure? I'm trying to think of what possible situation would exist (nominated for Oscar/Grammy/Emmy/Tony/Raspberry? Meeting the Queen? My wedding? Alien encounter? My murder trial?) and I simply cannot fathom when I would feel a French manicure would be appropriate...
