A really pretty red

Nope, I'm not dead yet, just easily side-tracked by life! There's so much interesting stuff out there!

This is NYC Madison Ave, stamped with Color Club Perfect Mol-ten (silly name, pretty polish!) using Bundle Monster plate 221. I picked up a couple of the Color Club foils from the recent collection, they're definitely good stuff - I like it when a polish is good for a full manicure and also stamping!



I was surprised by how much I enjoyed wearing Madison Ave. It's a bit sheer, even with 3 coats there was a bit of VNL, but it's a really pretty red with just a bit of sparkle to it. I may have to go outside my comfort zone and try out reds more often!

Independence Day!

Hey, 2 posts in the same day! Well, there was sunshine, and I thought posting this the week after I wore it might be a bit silly, so I hustled & took pics, and am posting quick before going out!


So here's my first 4th of July manicure, also my first successful tape mani! I used Nfu Oh 61 (squee!), NYC Madison Ave (very sheer, 4 coats & still VNL, but a pretty red), China Glaze Frostbite, and OPI DS Fantasy. Stamping was with Nfu Oh 61 & Bundle Monster plates 05, 14, & 21. My camera freaked out a bit at all of the holo, I could only get indirect shots - all of the direct ones caused flare lines or everything washed out and it wouldn't focus. Here's a kind of blurry one that shows the holo a bit better:



And one more, with props!


Happy 4th!
