I'm Kind of Obsessed...

I'm kind of obsessed with textured polish! I can't help myself - I love it. I have some Zoya Pixie Dust, Nails Inc. Leather Effect, Miliani Textures, Julie G Gumdrops, and finally I got my hands on some OPI Liquid Sand!

I had a hard time finding Solitaire from the Bond Girls Collection, but find her I did!!!!

This is two medium coats of OPI Solitaire with no top coat, of course. The formula was super easy to work with going on with a fairly quick dry time and the foil method took it off like magic in one swipe. I love love love this one so much!!!!


When my nails finally did start chipping I used Zoya Stevie to make a gradient but then I had a little accident before I could take pics!
Ugh! There is no fixing that break. Filed it down to wait. Oh well!

Have you tried any of the textured polishes? Which is your favorite? And do you have any of the China Glaze brand to swap? ;)

Sugar Spun Nails

Hey, all! I have a cute mani to show you that I did a while back when I first learned about the sugar spun mani. I know I haven't been around much lately, but I am spending all of my time with E and sleeping when I can, etc. I haven't done anything impressive with my nails lately and I actually even trimmed them down so that I don't scratch the baby.

I hope you all forgive me for being absent lately! Anyway, here is the mani! I used OPI Pedal Faster Suzi as the base and the green is Spoiled Permission to Proceed. I actually have no use for this Spoiled color EXCEPT for this style mani, because as you may know it is incredibly sheer. It's the worst polish I own in terms of formula, even 6 coats leave VNL & patches. Over white isn't much better.

What do you think? Have you tried Spun Sugar? Once you get started it's very easy!
