While driving to an interview.
Ughhhh

(ps this is still tease-y does it)

Just bought this one! It’s one of the less in-your-face polishes from OPI’s Burlesque collection. Hard to describe colour-wise, somewhere between a black/purple/brown base depending on the lighting, with red shimmer. 
Swatching is seriously impossible!

OPI, Tease-y Does It

My first attempt at a glitter gradient =]
I loveee this khaki green colour, but it’s really hard to capture.
It’s coming out a little deeper than it is in regular light, it’s more of a light moss colour with a creme finish.

Sally Hansen XtremeWear, Strobe Light

This is a very similar shade to my favourite Tuscan Sun, but I use it when my nails have been chipped…

Sally Hansen Xtreme-Wear, Lacey Lilac
China Glaze, Liquid Leather

I like this manicure for my bad days.
Instead of putting on one base coat of my Nail Hardener I put on 2.
However two coats of that hardener and 2 coats of a polish and a top coat make long-term wear impossible, So I just add one coat of polish on the tip =]

*note* you can tell it’s a bad day by looking at the tips.. all chipped and uneven
*2nd note* I’m still trying to figure out how to keep my polish from running along the french guides. I’ll work on straightening those lines!
