ORLY SPARKLING GARBAGE

My new favorite polish combo... China Glaze Aquadelic, from their Spring 2012 Electropop Collection, 2 coats, topped with 2 coats of Orly Sparkling Garbage from their new Summer 2013 Mash Up Collection, 1 coat Seche Vite....

This manicure lasted for days without chipping... and that almost never happens for me.... I love that holographic scattered sparkle of Sparkling Garbage in a teal jelly base!

Happy Mardi Gras!

To celebrate Mardi Gras, I decided to make Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Dirty Rice for dinner. Yummy!

This is my Mardi Gras manicure... Orly Space Cadet topped with China Glaze's Golden Enchantment. Space Cadet is from the Orly Cosmic Fx Collection, 2010, and Golden Enchantment is from the Fashion Fairy Collection. Space Cadet is a duochrome-- reddish purple with green, gold, and pink flashes. Every way you tilt your hand, the color will change. Golden Enchantment is a golden holographic topcoat, which I added to get just a tiny bit more flash for Mardi Gras!

Hope you had something tasty for Mardi Gras and that life brings a lagniappe for you every day... that's Cajun for "a little extra" something... a nice surprise or bonus!

Nail Polish of the Day!

Today, in honor of National Feral Cat Day, I wore teal. Check out the Teal Nail Project here.  I choose China Glaze's Techno Teal, part of their Tronica collection. It is a holographic teal polish, with amazing sparkle and depth of color! One of my favorites....

Fourth of July Manicure

This is my Fourth of July manicure... A base of China Glaze's Frosty (from the 2010 Holiday Collection), topped with dots of Zoya's Lisa (from the Winter 2010 Flame Collection), and topcoated with Sally Hansen's Ice Queen.
