NOTW: Layering with Essie Sexy Divide & Milani Totally Cool

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend. I am spending it with my daughter and parents, so that is always great for me. :) Also, when my daughter and I were going shopping yesterday, I broke both (not one) of my thumb nails. O_o Yep. So I had to go back down to nubbins just when they were growing long again. Oh well, what do you do? Well, you go dark and purple, that's what. And while Sexy Divide is gorgeous on it's own, I could never really get into Totally Cool. So I put Totally Cool on top of Sexy Divide. Check out the results!

So what do you think? I think it's pretty awesome, the only problem is that I couldn't really capture the Totally Cool purple that it really is. Thanks for looking!

NOTW: Rimmel Lava Red

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Sorry I haven't posted in a bit, but my laptop died and had to wait for a new one to arrive. Also left my camera at home and had to use my mom's camera. Anyway, here is a gorgeous sparkly red from Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro.

Remember, all pictures are clickable....thank goodness. Especially since these pics came out so small for some reason.
Thanks for looking and have a great evening!

NOTW: OPI Ski Teal We Drop

Hi everyone! First off, I have to say how pleasantly surprised I am to have followers to this blog. That being said, I have to say that I really appreciate and enjoy all of your comments.

I am going to be a hypocrite here, because I said previously that I really do not like blue polishes on me. Well.......guess what? I found one that I kinda like. Here it is:

Also, so far so good on the Orly Bonder Base Coat. Pretty happy with that so far. Have a great week everyone!

NOTW: L'Oreal Breaking Curfew

Breaking curfew is a beautiful, vampy, deep blood-red. Love the color, but the formula and application was not good. It required 3 coats to be totally opaque and streak-free. It was almost a jelly consistency.

Thanks for looking, and have a great week!

NOTW: SHXW Grey Area

Hiya! Hope everyone is doing great. This week I am trying a different base coat, also not using Gelous over the BC. Trying to figure out why I am getting severe chips on about day 3 of my mani's lately. So we'll see how this works out with Orly Bonder.
