Orly Terra Mauve Swatch

This is Orly Terra Mauve.  This is a part of their permanent collection but it just kind of jumped out at me when I was looking fall colors.  This is a unique color, it's a muted simple creme polish but the color is hard to describe.  In some lights it's a dark pinkish mauve and in some lights it looks more like a dusty purple.  I think this color will be perfect for fall, I'm picturing pairing with taupes and champagnes :)

Navy & Pink Texture Dots

Simple texture mani for today.

China Glaze Seduce Me Swatch

Today I have China Glaze Seduce Me, a beautiful redish pink creme polish I grabbed at Sally's on impulse with some coupons.

Zoya Natty Swatch

I love this color, ive been looking a good navy-ish color and this one is amazing! Great formula, this is one coat and no topcoat. Only thing is i picture it being a lighter blue because the color name makes me think of Natural Light beer :)

Above the Curve Risen Angel

Hi y'all :)  My weekly nails are getting posted a little late this week due to serious nail block. Couldn't pick a color, theme, or design to save my life.

I finally decided on Above the Curve Risen Angel and I am so happy I did!  This color is beyond gorgeous, although mine seems to be more purple than the swatches I've seen.

This is my first linear holographic so I don't know the standard on formula, but the formula on this was great.  It went on smooth with no streaking, but I noticed it started to get a bit goopy if I went back over a spot.  I think that may be more of a holo thing though.


This is two coats ATC Risen Angel,   & the accent nail is two coats China Glaze Grape Pop, with Risen Angel polka dots. All nails have one coat Sally Hansen Insta-dri Topcoat.

Candy Cane Nails

This is my first of (at least) 3 Christmas themed manis :)

This week is candy canes :)

I started out with one coat Pure Ice Creme Siren, over basecoat. Then 2 coats China Glaze Ruby Pumps, one coat was fine but i wanted to build some depth. White stripes were done with L.A. Colors Art Deco. Sally Hansen Insta-dri Topcoat.

Sorry for the picture overload, but i had a lot of matching props :)
