OPI A Butterfly Moment

     Today, I have another polish from OPI's Mariah Carey collection to show you guys. A Butterfly Moment (ABM) is a flesh-tone pink polish with a bit of pearlescent shine to it.

Swatches:
Indoor with flash. 
*Best color representation. 

Indoor no flash. 

Outdoor...not a lot of sun...sorry. 



     All pictures are with two layers of ABM and a layer of topcoat. This polish is a thinner polish, that applies easily and dries at a normal pace. Initially I saw this polish and thought "pass" because pale pinks aren't my thing, but then I decided to give it a go and I am so glad I did because I love this polish on me. It looks so good with my skin-tone. It's a subtle feminine shade that works well for almost any occasion...in fact it is great for spring for those of you (like me) who are not into the whole pastel thing. Anyway, that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
XOXO

Valentine's Day Manicure

 Today, I have a quick Valentine's Day post for you guys. It's just a quick stamping nail art manicure but I hope you enjoy it.
 Indoor with flash. 

Indoor no flash. 

Outdoor...yeash the sun is hiding sorry.

What I used:

China Glaze - Salsa
OPI - A Butterfly Moment
OPI - The Spy Who Loved Me
Color Club - Berry And Bright
Cheeky - CH15
Shany - SH205

     Okay, so normally I'm not a big Valentine's Day fan...in fact I tend to spend the day watching horror movies but since you guys probably feel differently about V-day I did a mani for you. If you are into V-day I hope your day is filled with flowers, chocolate covered strawberries, fancy dinners and jewelry. If you're not into it may it be an awesome Thursday and/or horror movie day. Until Next time stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO

Lac Attack Amortentia


     Today, I have Amortentia from the Magical Musings collection by Lac Attack, to show you guys. Amortentia is medium pink pearl finish jelly polish with silver micro and lavender Hexagonal glitter in it. But enough blathering here she is.
Swatches:

     All photos are with four thin coats of Amortentia and a layer of top coat. This polish applies easily and dries quickly. I really great polish for Valentine’s Day I think. Specially since Amortentia (in the world of Harry Potter ) is a love potion I think it fits perfectly for this week. Also this polish is kind of a mind screw. Let me explain that when I first painted my nails after fourth coat but before it was completely dry it was a lighter color. Then it dried completely and ended up darker. It’s a very unique polish. In fact I almost took it off before fourth coat was dry because it was too light and I wasn’t digging it then it dried and I was like “whoa, it got darker.” Let’s let that be a lesson to me about judging polishes before they are dry. What do you guys think? Are you loving Amortentia? I am and I almost missed out because I made a judgment before it was dry. I won’t do that again.  Anyway that’s all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
XOXO
