Models Own Beth's Blue

I have to say... I absolutely love this color!  I love Models Own polish in general.  But this color is just so pretty!

 This is 2 coats of Models Own Beth's Blue.  You can't really tell, but I topped it with a coat of Nfu-Oh 40 for some flakies.  Then I added some interest with LA Colors Silver stripes.  I loved this mani even though it's so simple!

You can see the flakies a bit better in this shot, but not really.  It wasn't much better in real life either.  But how awesome is this color?  It's a greyed out light blue but not so gray that it doesn't look blue.  I don't know, it's just so pretty!

Application was amazing.  Very smooth, good coverage, good wear.  If I wanted to leave it on, it probably could have lasted a week.  But I'm just not that patient, lol.  I would definitely recommend this brand and this color.

Happy New Year!!

A little belated... but Happy 2011!!!  I hope this year is a lot better than last year.  I suffered a great loss in 2010, but I'm better for it now and I'm thankful that I was strong enough to keep going.

How cool is this?  I used 3 coats of Sephora by OPI 212-Sephora as a base.  It's an amazing black base with copper flakes and gold and iridescent small glitter.  I used Orly Luxe on the tips.  Then I added some Viva la Nails stars and hex glitter.  It was very fitting for the occasion.

So pretty!!!

Last shot, lol.  I loved this one.  I think it came out pretty and I got compliments as well!  :)

First Flakies

I have not been lucky enough to get my hands on any of the Nfu-Oh flakie polishes.  Soooo... Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure is my first!  I had seen other photos of it, but man does it look even more awesome in person!

This is 2 coats Milani Fresh Teal (neon) with 1 coat Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure.  Topped with 2 coats Seche Vite.  First off, I love the opacity of the Milani.  It was a bit too streaky to get away with 1 coat, but 2 coats are perfection.  Application was a bit gloppy.  I think because the brush is very thin and it doesn't spread across my nail as easily.  But Seche evens all that out, so who cares.  The Hidden Treasure is just to die for!  How awesome are those flakies?  There is green, orange, pink, yellow, gold... so many colors going on.  I love it!  I see why you are all so nuts over the Nfu-Oh's flakies now.  I will have to get some.

For anyone who follows me on twitter... this is the mani a girl stopped me to talk about.  She stopped me on my way into a shop and asked what I was wearing like I was a celebrity!  Haha.  So I told her all about my mani and then she asked about my mascara and we were talking nails and makeup for a good 15-20 minutes.  Too funny.
