Tender Teal= DVD

Zoya 18k Gold Topcoat Box Set

I ordered another gold topcoat....I guess I have a gold obsession....Zoya is coming out with there own 18kt gold topcoat....again it is pricey at $30 however unlike the OPI gold topcoat Zoya includes there Black and White polish in a box set.

"The "plain" gold polish in the picture is not included in the set"

They state on there site the official shipping date is 10/15/12

and they are available for pre-order.

Zoya also states "like OPI" when they are gone they will not be making any more.

When I get the OPI and Zoya in I will be posting a swatch and comparison,

so keep checking in

OPI James Bond The Man With The Golden Gun

So.....OPI.....I do love them and own many of there polish colors....but I can never seem to spend the money to buy them without them being on clearance, mega, mega sale, or at my local surplus store.

They have never come out with a color that I had to have so bad I would pay $8.00 or more to have.........

Till Now...

Now I admit it is not the most ground breaking polish out there but something about it made me want it....and at $26.00 to $28.00 on eBay for pre-buy it had to be a strong "something". I kept looking at it and looking at it and...as I always do....researched the web looking for a dupe at a better price.....however... I could not find one at a better price....maybe I did not search enough...maybe I already made up my mind......so I hit BUY IT NOW.

and here it is:

O.P.I The Man With The Golden Gun

18 Karat Gold Leaf Top Coat

Created to celebrate James Bond’s Golden Anniversary

This polish and the rest of the collection is due out this October

If you have to have it as well, Here is the seller I got mine from.

"Double, Double" Purple Halloween Witch Nail Art

Halloween is on it's way, and I don't know about you but when I think Halloween, I think WITCHES!!!

Sinful Colors "Amethyst #978"

Sinful Colors "Bali Mist #387"

I love this look on its own...

 "Bali Mist" on it's own is very very sheer but having the purple base, it gives the nails a pearl finish

with a green/pink/purple duo chrome effect at certain angles

Paint

and glitter and rhinestones

I paint Cauldrons on my Thumb and Ring finger.

Candles on my Middle finger.

Potion Bottles on my Index and Pinky.

Glitter & Stones for bubbles.

I think they came out nicely....What do you think?

Starting To Feel Like Fall !!!!

Fall is my favorite time of year. The colors, food, fashion and being from the south, the cool weather and nothing tells you fall is coming like being able to drive down the road with your windows down (because normally you blast your AC as high as it will go). So when I got to the salon today I got the urge to use some beautiful fall colors for my nail art.

Start with 2 coats of Sally Hansen

"Bronze Ablaze"

Insta-Dri

Then grab your makeup sponge

 and get these (or like colors ready)

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Coco A-Go-Go"

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Bronze Ablaze"

Sinful Colors "This Is It #832"

Sally Hansen Xtream Wear "Golden-I #485"

Paint a line of each color next to the other in the patten you want them to show up on the nail.

Then soak them up with the flat edge of your sponge.

Now lightly pat or roll the sponge on your nail.

(If you are using light or sheer colors you may have to do this a few times)

I then painted all the nails with Sally Hansen "Set The Stage".

You can never have to much glitter.

I loved this look....and you can feel free to stop here, just topcoat and done....

But not me!

I used loose gold glitter and put it on the "moons" of my nails.

Placed a brown crystal on my ring finger and put

bronze glass beads and gold rhinestones around it.

Then I used stripping tape in gold to make a quilted pattern on my thumb

and placed a gold rhinestone where the points met.

Topcoat And Done

I hope you like it!

I hope you try it!
