Gridlock Lacquer - The Aud - French Connection Buffalo Sabres nail art

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a gorgeous glitter, The Aud, from Gridlock Lacquer. It is named for the old Buffalo Sabres arena and is full of gold and blue glitter for the Sabres colors. I’m so in love with this glitter! I decided to do a French Connection Sabres themed mani. Check it out!





Isn’t it beautiful? It is full of gold and blue glitter and some of the glitter is holo so it’s very sparkly. Formula and density are great, I did a little dabbing to get it on the nail but only because I was doing a glitter gradient, it would apply very nicely if you were using it on the whole nail.



For the base I used OPI LAMB, this has become one of my fav gold polishes. It’s a satin finish and it a sort of ultrafine shimmer, so perfect. This is 2 coats.



For the accent nail I used Julep Ally, a royal blue chrome. It is so bright and rich! Very hard to capture the vividness in pics. This is 2 coats.





I added a gold fleur de lis nail vinyl from Vinyl It Up. I love how it pops against the blue.





I wore this mani for a couple days because I loved it so much, thanks for stopping by!

OPI Skyfall, LAMB, and How Great is Your Dane? - Leopard spot mani

Hey Polish Lovers!

Ugggghhh why did I say that? That reminds me of DSW, the cashiers have to say “I can help the next shoe lover in line.” Ewwwww don’t get me wrong I seriously love me some shoes but that is just so cheesy and I feel bad for them lol

Anyways. I’ve had OPI Skyfall sitting and patiently waiting for some cooler weather. I really wanted this one when it was released almost 2 years ago but I slacked and didn’t buy it, finally this summer I said enough is enough! And grabbed Skyfall and Casino Royale, I loved Casino Royale – see my mani here, so I just knew me and Skyfall were going to get along smashingly ;)

Check out my new Bestie!





Skyfall = perfect Fall color. It’s a a beautiful oxblood crème, it’s vampy but not like a vamp on steroids you can definitely tell it’s a red even in low lighting so I don’t even know if vampy is the right description for it lol. It does lean slightly brown. This is 2 coats. The first coat was a little streaky but the 2nd coat made it perfect.





For the base of my accent nail I used OPI Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (aka LAMB) from the Gwen Stefani collection. I adore this gold, it’s a satin finish and has such delicate but rich shimmer. I can never decide if I like it better with or without topcoat……… This is 2 coats, wonderful formula.





I used Skyfall as the center dot of my leopard spots and OPI How Great is Your Dane from the Nordic collection. It’s a very neutral brown, I can’t really comment on the formula since this is the first time I have used it but it seems ok maybe a bit thin?



I really liked this color combo! My leopard spots weren’t the best, I’ve done better lol Normally I make them a little bigger, but whatever they were still cute hehe Thanks for stopping by.
