Traveling Polish Contest!

June 3:

As I mentioned a little while ago I was the recipient of the traveling polish. This polish started off in Germany and has been all over the world since then. Kamila was the last person to have this polish (as well as some other treats!) and she sent it to me from Poland! Although I'd love to keep this polish, the time has come to send it on its way. That means it is also time for a contest!

To enter:

If you have a blog and would like to be entered in to win this polish just leave a comment below with your blog url! Just make sure to pass it along when you receive the polish. I will be traveling in a few days so I am keeping this open until June 27th after which I will pull a random winner and ship this polish out.

Here is how I wore it:

Two coats of the lovely Manhattan 610k followed by OPI's "Show It and Glow It" SOPI's "Flurry Up" and China Glaze's "Fairy Dust". I love the way this sparkles and all of the purple makes me happy!

Good luck!

Until next time,

Happy painting!

Gradient Manicure

March 3:

Spring is slowly approaching and I really want winter to stick around for another two months or so but this manicure that I have today screams fall to me. Awhile back I bought 6 bottles of polish from the OPI Burlesque collection and I was satisfied with that. Then, while at a trip to Ulta, I saw they had some of the Burlesque polishes on clearance...score!!! At first I picked up "Let Me Entertain You" but I ended up going back for "Take The Stage" and "Rising Star".

TTS and RS are meant for each other!!! They are so beautiful on their own and together they melt into each other. So naturally I had to do a gradient manicure with them. First I did three coats of Rising Star, then I sponged on two coats of Take The Stage on the top half of my nail. To add some sparkle I sponged on SOPI's "Only Gold For Me" and finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite.

This was my first gradient manicure and I would consider it a success. It reminds me of fall leave and butterfly wings...anyone else?

Until next time,

Happy painting!
