Throwback Thursdays...Autumn Scene

Hi Everyone,  Sorry I didn't post anything the last few days and it's not like I didn't try.   Have you ever had one of those day(s) that you couldn't pick a color or didn't have any ideas and when you finally had an idea it just didn't work out.  You know what I'm talking about.  I hate when this happens to me because for just a second...just a second  I wanted to quit blogging!  I can't let that happen because I have too many polishes to share with you guys. Lol!

Even though I live in sunny Florida I'm ready for autumn. Of course I have to look at pictures to see the beautiful autumn scenes of colored leaves.  Sally Hansens New Lengths Amber Beads Creme, it's a beautiful rusty brown with golden shimmer.  It applied wonderfully in 2 coats.☺

 

You can see the golden shimmer here 

 

I just had to mimic the autumn scene using the cling wrap technique.  I want to thank whomever discovered this method.  It was super easy to do and I will be doing it again.

I love the shimmer in the green

 

Items Used:  Base, SH NL Amber Beads Creme

Yellow: Zoya Creamy

Green: China Glaze Paper Chasing

Topcoat: Seche Vite

 

I'm so happy with my autumn scene mani, I was thinking about stamping some leaves over it.  Should I?  I bought SH NL Amber Beads Creme a few years ago at Dollar Tree.  It's still available on ebay.

 

 

 

 Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Teal Tuesdays...Challenge Feathers

Teal Tuesdays challenge: Feathers

I had so many ideas but of course I had to choose one.  I did a gradient in blue and green forgot to take a picture of it.  It turned out well.  Then I realized I needed to add some teal because that's what Teal Tuesdays is all about so I grabbed Sinful colors Nail Junkie applied one coat over it.  Still pretty satisfied with the look.  Here is where the problem starts.  My stamping would not corporate with me.  I tried several times to get a bold crisp stamp on the stamper.  I finally gave up and went with it using Konad special polish blue.  It's okay but could have been better.

For the gradient I sponged on Orly Snowcone and China Glaze Starboard. Stamping plate BM-212, Peacock feathers

Pink Wednesday...Something Sweet

Good Morning,

I have another Cosmetic Arts nail lacquer for you.  It's such a soft sweet pink makes me think of a baby's blanket.  The finish is a creme a little streaky.  I used three coats.  Geesh, I wish I knew the name of this one.

I don't know if I should show you the next pictures.  I thought China Glaze Crackle Haute Metal would go nicely with this sweet pink.  Silly me forgot to shake up the bottle really well before applying it.  Oh, well this is how it turned out. Lol! 

It didn't even crack looks like a marbling of some sort

After mixing up well I applied again on my left hand.  It turned out much better.  On one hand I like it then again I don't care for it very much.  For some odd reason certain colors my camera turn my hands really  dark.  I don't know what's wrong with it lately.  When I adjust the setting the polish is washed out.  I adjust it again my hands are dark.  Any tips you can give me is well appreciated. *-*

I have the whole set of the China Glaze Crackle Metals.  I favor the creme-y ones over the metals.

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

A clean Palette

Good Morning,

I'm in a hurry! So what do I do?  I grabbed Essie Marshmallow and China Glaze White Cap from the Anchors Away Collection.  Marshmallow is not a stark white it's a soft white jelly.  The first 2 coats were streaky but no problem. I then added a 3rd coat which covered up the balled spots well.  (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of Marshmallow alone).  I used one coat of White cap. 

Um, picture is blurry

These pictures doesn't give this look justice. White Cap is so sparkly it has gold, and subtle green shimmer in it.

What color do you put on when you're in a hurry?

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)
