Color Blocking

I recently purchased my first China Glaze polish. I usually don't spend more than $5 on polish but I really wanted a bright orange and it was the only one I loved.

On top of my base coat I applied 2 coats of Sinful Colors Slate, a cream gray with a subtle shimmer.

I applied a coat of SV.

Then I taped off small sections to create my color blocking

I used China Glaze Japanese Koi (It didn't photograph as well as I wanted. It is MUCH brighter in person.) Sally Hansen Blue Me Away &Vibrant Violet.

Topping it all off with Sally Hanson Mega Shine.

All That Glitters

I was at Target with my step-daughter recently and of course we went to the cosmetics section!

I decided to let her pick the colors for my next mani.

She picked out 2 colors by Sally Hansen.

They were from the Smooth and Perfect Color Care series.

She picked the colors Sea and Sorbet

I added the gold to make it pop, plus I wanted to use my gold Hello Kitty sequin!

I love my Hello Kitty! I got a bunch of them in a pack of studs, gems and sequins that came free

with the dotting tools I ordered from Amazon.

These colors are very pretty but VERY thin and pale!

I had to use a coat of white on top of my base coat.

I still had to use 3 coats of either color to get them to even show their color.

My little one loved it, so overall it turned out OK.
