Put A Bow On It Paloma!

 This is my FAIR DAY mani! We went to the opening night of our county fair last week and we took the little one.  He loved it and rode every ride he could, multiple times.  I'm more excited about the food, ferris wheel and animals than the major rides though (I guess I'm old!). 



 So for today's nails I didn't do any fair themed art, instead I chose to match the color to my cardigan I'm wearing tonight.  I absolutely LOVE how the main nails turned out on this mani, I can't stop looking at them! 

Shades of Grey Ombre

Hi y'all, this is a quick mani I did with Silver, Greys and Black.

Silver is Maybeline Silver Aluminum, Grey is Ulta Smoke Screen and China Glaze, Topped with crack (CG Fairy Dust)

Week 1 of October manis- Halloween polka dots

Two coats Ulta smoke screen with L.A. Colors basecoat. Polka dots are Ulta Sun of a Gun orange, Ulta little black dress, and China Glaze white on white.  Top coat is two coats sally hansen instadry clearly quick.

New polishes :)

I just got 9 new polishes in the mail today! 5 Ulta's and 3 China Glaze. I let my husband pick a color combo and design and this is what he picked. It kind of reminds me of Freddie kruger lol. Base is 2 coats Ulta smoke screen, stripes are China glaze ruby pumps 182, and 2 coats sally hansen instadry clear. Both colors had good formulas and were true to color. Smoke screen could have been a one coat had i paid attention while i applied it. I have been wanting ruby pumps for a while and i love it. Packed with glitter in a red jelly base it probably wouldn't take but 2 coats to be opaque. This manicure looks much better in person however because my clear went wonky a week ago and is leaving tons of tiny bubbles but you can't see them in person. No bubbles in the bottle but it is hazy/foggy and i don't know why, its probably 2-3 months old.

wet cement\chic peek

One coat wet n wild megalast in wet cement (201C), 2 coats Ulta chic peek (one good coat wouldve worked but i was sloppy), 2 coats Sally hansen insta-dry clearly quick (110).
Love the chocolate milk color of the wet cement color but it was very runny, would definitely need 2+ coats for full coverage, the Ulta was a bit thicker than im used to but with a brush full of polish it went on smooth. Love this clear coat, i was leaning toward trying Seche vite clear coat but read somewhere this was just as good
