Today, I have a Finger Paints Hue Brighten My Day swatch to show you guys. Hue Brighten My Day is a dark hunter green polish with gold, silver, and holographic glitter in a variety of hexagons and square shapes. Free warning this polish may trigger a full of Valkyrie trance.

I used 3 coats of Hue Brighten My Day and a layer of top coat. The polish is sheer but it dries quickly and applies easily. Over all, I really like this polish. It's dark and sparkly, and I love it with all my dark, sparkly, Valkyrie heart. Definitely a must have fall glitter, for anyone who likes dark polish, sparkly polish, or fall color nail polish. So what do you guys think? Are you loving Hue Brighten My Day as much as I am? Well, that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

Today, I have my birthday manicure to show you guys. And while we are not going to talk about the number that goes along with said birthday (and if you know what number goes with this birthday I'll thank you to keep that information to yourself). I decided I wanted a manicure in my favorite color (Blue) with silver (my favorite metallic color) accents. So with no further ado here's my birthday manicure 2013 edition:

Stamping Plates:

Cheeky - CH9 & CH41
...And because it's my birthday here's my favorite song. And yes it's been my favorite song since I was 6 years old and probably will be until the day I die.
Angel by Aerosmith
For this manicure I used two coats of each color and then stamped the other color on top of it. In case you were wondering the symbol on my pinkie is the sun sign for Virgo. And the stars on the middle nail are just because I love stars. I put them on everything...they are kind of my thing...you know how everyone has their symbol or sign that they adore. Mine happens to be stars. Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this manicure. That's all I have for you today, as it is my birthday I am off to birthday related shenanigans. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

Today, I have a nautical inspired manicure to show you guys. The idea for this manicure kinda just happened while I was going through my plates. I realized how may nautical theme stamping plates I actually have...none of which were purchased for the nautical images. They were all obtained for other designs on the plate or in the plate set. So, I decided what the hell. I'll do a nautical theme manicure. After all I had the required equipment. It's still kinda summer right (Ehh, close enough). Anyway, no further blathering from me. Here's my nautical stamping manicure:

What I Used:
China Glaze - White On White
China Glaze - Man Hunt
Orly - Grave Mistake
Konad - White
Konad - Blue
Stamping Plates:
Cheeky - CH49 & CH36
Essence - 01 Have Fun
Shany - SH211
And a song that's kind of nautical...kind of...okay not really but it's Darren Hayes. I would hear him sing if it cost me my ears. Push play. Listen. Enjoy. You're welcome.
The Siren's Call - Darren Hayes.
I don't think this manicure needs much explanation. It's stamping nail art. I painted my nails then stamped on a design. I was feeling kinda lazy, but wanted more than just plain old nail polish. I hope you guys like it. To be honest I don't know all that much about all things nautical...we don't have a lot of boats in land locked Idaho. So....my boating experience is kind of minuscule. I guess, we do have the Snake River but....about 3-4 people die in it every summer...so, it kind of conflicts with my life plan (of not drowning in a river, and I'm rather attached to this life plan). I have however logged many hours on boats while playing The Sims 3 Island Paradise. I'm going to pretend that simulation counts as experience. JK. Anyway, that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO
