L is For Louboutin

Purchased By Me
*nothing to disclose

It's Wednesday and you know what that means!! Another ABC Challenge post! Today is the letter L. When this challenge started, I had made out a list for what I wanted to do for each letter. Well I should say I TRIED to make a list, most of my letters have me at a loss, but L was one I knew right away! I have a slight obsession with shoes, not collecting them or wearing them, just looking at them! I use to be a big shoe freak, back in my club hopping days I could rock the highest heals in the worst conditions, rain, sleet, snow, thick sheets of ice, crazy mangled streets, you name it I could do it! (If any of you know what it's like to party on the Landing in Downtown St. Louis you know that even some of the most experienced heel wearing gals have trouble on those crazy cobblestone streets, but I was like a cat!) Then I started working longer hours at the hospital, wearing nothing but tennis shoes and flip flops and partying less. Eventually the deadened nerves in my well trained feet started to regenerate and heels quickly became a thing of the past. Now I just drool over all of the super sexy sky high beauties.Wishing I could manage to pull them off again without the period of torture it takes to grow accustom to them. So my inspiration for this weeks letter, as I'm sure you have guessed by now, is shoes. And not just any shoes but Christian Louboutin's! Über expensive and equally as amazing, known for having some super classy and also super blingie looks and always with the red soles. I only wish I had owned a pair in my crazy heel wearing days. Since I never did, I'll settle for making my stilettos into Louboutin's instead!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone in the states is having a wonderful Thanksgiving and going to enjoy lots of Turkey, and all of my international polish pals happy Thursday! I just wanted to share my Thanksgiving mani with you all. I didn't have time to do the turkey mani I wanted to do since my family and I were running around trying to get some shopping done for our trip to Indiana to visit my older brother and his family. So I decided to just use some fall colors instead. I recently won a new beauty from Hit Polish (I've posted about some of Rachel's polishes before when her shop went by D&R Apothecary) by giving her the name for one of her soon to be released polishes. I received it yesterday and quickly decided it would be perfect for my Turkey day mani!  Here is butterLondon All Hail the Queen under Hit Polish Painted Desert.

Delicate Flowers...Days 14 & 15

Ok here it goes!  I am rushing through this post to try and beat midnight! O_O  I've been slacking off a bit lately and I need to get ahead of the game here! I apologize.
Today is day15 of the 31 day challenge but, since I missed day 14, I decided to combine the 2!
 
I started off with 2 coats of L'Oreal VIP Status...

 
VIP Status is a lovely charcoal color with a kind of blue undertone.

 
The formula is awesome, 2 coats gave full opacity and it is very forgiving if spots are missed, which I tend to do, you can go back over those spots and it blends well.

 
Then using Bundle Monster stamp plate BM-318 I stamped hibiscus flowers with Essie No Place Like Chrome.

 
I'm still working on perfecting my stamping skills but I LOVE stamping with the Essie Mirror Metallics. They are thick enough to make stamping so much easier for someone who gets the process but hasn't got it down pat yet.




 
I felt it was lacking something, and it was still a bit to severe in contrast to be "delicate" so I wanted to add something and decided on Finger Paints Flecked.

 
This is my first time using a flakie. I have to say I am in Love! I love the texture it brings to the mani without being overpowering like normal glitter can be. This particular bottle was a prize in a giveaway that I recently won.

 
I decided I wanted to make this a matte mani to make it even more subtle so I used my new butterLondon Matte Finish. 

 
Unfortunately in my excitement over using 2 new polishes I forgot to take pictures before I mattified it! Sorry! It was just as lovely all shinny as it is matte, at least I thought so.




 
Sorry about all the pictures I just couldn't get enough! LOL
 
As always don't forget to check out what the other lovely ladies have done!
