OPI - My Vampire is Buff and LAMB chevron decals Vinyl It Up mani

Hey my Friends!

It probably seems like I post a lot of bright manis but when it comes down to it, I love neutrals. Nothing makes me happier than a creamy neutral, le sigh. So for today I'm using one of my all time fav neutrals and golds. Shall we proceed?



OPI My Vampire is Buff. Look at it! I've worn this color countless times but each time I fall more in love with it. It's like the color of fresh almonds. This is 2 coats.



What about the tree nail charm? Too cute, it's from ebay.



The gold is OPI LAMB, it's like an ultra fine dense glitter. It does dry to a satin finish which looks great but I chose to add top coat here.



The nail vinyls I used are from Vinyl It Up, mini chevrons, my fave size! So perfect for my small nail beds, I get maximum zigs and zags lol



This could be one of my fave manis in a long time, thanks for reading!

OPI Wharf Wharf Wharf and Julep Brandt and Dana

Hi Everyone!

I've wanted OPI Wharf Wharf Wharf since it was released but it was just one of those colors that you look at but never buy. Well, I FINALLY bought it and it is everything I thought it would be! I'm still loving texture polishes and even though they may be "over" I will still be busting em out. Check out what I came up with for this crazy blue.



Isn't it cool? It's just so blue lol I used 2 thin coats, I think textures show up best when you use thinner coats. I was obsessively touching my nails while wearing it haha.



For the base of my ring I used Julep Dana. It's a pearly white with blue shimmer.



The stamping was done with MoYou London Artist Collection Plate 04. I used Julep Brandt, an off-black.



This mani felt very "artsy" or something lol I'm so cool. Thanks for stopping by!

Polish My Life Green Bikini and OPI In True Stefani Fashion

Hey People!

Some of my favorite polishes tend to be bleached out neons and bright cremes. I was lusting after Polish My Life Bikini Green for a while and it has definitely lived up to my expectations. Let's take a look!



So bright, so perfect :) Polish My Life Green Bikini applied nicely but I did use 3 coats to cover nail line, I think many people could get away with 2 coats but my nail line tends to be very dark and show through most polishes.





OPI a In True Stefani Fashion was a perfect match with Green Bikini! I love how the silver really pops off the green.



Some rainbow 2mm nail jewels were the perfect way to finish off this mani.



I'm thinking this color will get a lot of use for me come Spring for Easter manis and will look awesome with some stamping over it. Thanks for visiting!

This is a crazy bright neon pink, Punki Pink from Nina Ultra Pro. In my photos it's reading as orange, stupid camera! Since its a neon I had to use 3 thickish coats to get it opaque.





For the accent nail and leopard spots I used Different Dimension Big Bang, I loveeeeee this polish and use it all the time. It's my fav polish from 2014!
