Can It Be Fall Now? Manicure

     Today, I have a a stamping/sponging manicure to show you guys. I wanted a fall theme mani because  I love fall. And I am beyond ready for it to get here. Don't get me wrong I don't hate summer...I just really like when the air is crisp and I have an excuse to wear a fluffy sweater, curl up in a blanket with a cup of cocoa and read a good book. But I digress, you're here to see the mani so here it is:

Outdoor...the sun is not working with me today. 

What  I Used:

China Glaze - Harvest Moon

China Glaze - Mahogany Magic

China Glaze - Goin' My Way

Stamping plates:

Mash - Mash-49 & Mash-43

     I sponged on the gradient with Harvest Moon and Goin' My Way. Then stamped Mahogany Magic over top. I actually really like how this one turned out. Very festive and Autumn-ish (Is that a word? Oh well, it is now). Now if the weather would cooperate with me and give me some proper cocoa, sweater and book reading weather to match my nails. Then I would be a happy little camper. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this manicure as much as I do. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

OPI Oy-Another Polish Joke

     Today, I have a swatch of Oy-Another Polish Joke from OPI's Euro Central Collection to show you guys. Oy- Another Polish Joke is a bright gold flake polish. Think Goldeneye but way, way brighter. So without further ado, here's Oy-Another Polish Joke:

     I used four coats of Oy-Another Polish Joke and a layer of topcoat. The formula is thin, but it dries really quickly and applies easily. Normally I am not a big fan of gold polish, but I love the way this one looked with my vampire like pale skin. I am actually kind of mad that it took me this ling to wear it. Anyway, that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Sally Girl Butta

     Today, I have a swatch of Sally Girl Butta (yeah the name is kinda dumb) to share with you guys. Butta is a graphite-ish metallic grey polish with small silver glitter and medium size teal glitter in it. This is another one of those polishes where you're going to be all "Why doesn't this come in a bigger bottle?" It's seriously that pretty. So without further ado. Here is Butta:

Swatches:

Indoor with flash. So much glitter the flash went crazy.

     I used three coats of Butta for the pictures above (no undies), two light coats and a heavy coat, then topped it with a heavy layer of top coat. As with most glitter heavy polishes this one eats topcoat alive so go pretty heavy handed with it. The formula is a tad on the sheer side, but it dries quickly and applies easily. Over all I really like this polish. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle. But for 99₵ at Sally Beauty Supply, can I really complain? I can but I won't. I will definitely be picking up a few more of this itty-bitty bottle of glittery Valkyrie trance inducing goodness. It's dark, it's sparkly, and can I just tell you I love the dark base bright blue glitter combo. Anyway, that's all I have for you today. Until Next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
