Polish of Day 26 Bubble Tea By PrettyNPolished

The polish I am showing you today is Bubble Tea from Pretty N Polished.  You can now buy these polishes at prettynpolished.com.  they opened their store today so they should be pretty well stocked.  They have their own website now.  I am pretty  sure this polish is still available.   I used OPI Stranger Tides as panties and then two coats of the polish.  It went on really well and dried pretty fast.  I like this polish because it is a year round polish.  So, go to the website and see what is new.  I will be there.

Have you tried PrettyNPolished nail polish yet?

The rest of the Skyfall Collection Warning PIC Heavy

 

This is Casino Royale.  It is definitely a blue red.  Goes on great and no problems with the formula.

 

 

 

This one is Live and Let Die.  It is a dark green.  It reminds me of Here today Aragon tomorrow but this one has gold flecks in it.   It is an amazing color and the first picture shows it some justice.

 

 

 

Goldfinger.  Beautiful.  It does take three coats to get an opaque color but it is gorgeous.  Possibly my favorite of all.

 

 

 

 

This one is The Spy Who loved me.  it is an orange red and reminds me of something a younger girl might use as her first polish.  It is a crème and did not appear to have any flecks of gold merely a shimmer.

The Living Daylights.  I was most excited about this one.  I really like the way it looks alone and would look great in a jelly sandwich.  It has orange, teal, blue, gold, and silver glitters.

 

 

 

This one is You Only Live Twice.  Looking at it from the outside it looks like The One That Got Away, but once you put it on it is very different because it has more red undertones and does have some gold shimmer to it.

 

 

 

 

This one is Tomorrow Never Dies.  The bottle is purple but it photographed blue.  I did not understand and took several pictures but it still came out this color. 

 

 

The World is Not Enough is the name of this one.  At first It looks a little weird but after some time it does begin to grow on you.

 

 

 

And the last one is The Spy Who Loved Me.  Red with gold flecks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, that is pretty much the whole collection.  It really seemed huge as a I was doing all the swatching.  My only problem with it is that is has three reds.  I knew that going in I just wish they were a little bit more different. 

 

So, are you buying any of these?  Which ones if so?

Kimber’s Challenge Day 26 Inspired by a Pattern

Well we are heading into the final stretch and I feel pretty good about the challenges to come.  If I did this as a regular post It would be called “Granny Panties”.   Yes, this is a pair of panties from Victoria’s Secret.  I love the patterns they come up with and this is one of my favorite patterns.  It was a fun manicure to do.  I used Goldfinger from the new OPI Skyfall collection on accent and thumb and then Zoya’s Raven and a Nikka K polish in gold.  I made dots and when they were almost dry I connected them to make them look like flowers like on the pattern.   I didn’t want to take it off but I think it is a great look for night.  Honestly I thought it would look a little more childish since it was flowery but it looks fairly dressy.

 

Then I paired it with this ring I had for a great night time look.

So I am pretty happy with this one.  What do you think?

Ciao,

Patty

Polish of day.26 American Apparel Lopez Canyon

Today, I have American Apparel's Lopez Canyon.  It is a rust orange.  American Apparel mainly makes creme polishes so if you are looking for a creme they are probably sure to have it.  Their polish is also priced very well at 3 for $15.00.  On-line they cost much more.  They dry fast and really last.  I have quite a few but I don't have their whole collection.  They do have a good selection, so if you have an American Apparel in your town I urge you to try them.

 

If you can tell the formula looks really smooth.  It also dries fast. What kinds of things do you look for in a polish?

Ciao,

Kimber's Challenge 25 Inspired by Fashion

The last two challenges really blew my mind so I looked for something that I would wear and I am not a bells and whistles type dresser.  I like to dress nice but comfort is key.  I often feel more comfortable in dresses than in pants and probably have more dresses than jeans.  I live in Texas and throw a sundress on with some flip flops is a popular dress style even today it was so hot I could have worn a sundress.  So, I found a really pretty dress that I would definitely wear anywhere even to temple but I would wear a little short sleeve sweater.  Call me old fashioned but I don't think shoulders or cleavage should be purposely shown in an place of worship.   So, here is my Dress and the nails I would wear with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know it looks easy but it is cute.  It is something that I like and this is what I would wear.  I am going to blow you all away on the inspired by a piece of art.  I used Butter London Blagger, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Butter London Marrow and OPI A Grape Fit.

 

On a note I am a challenge behind but will post it tomorrow because I already know what I am doing.

Ciao for now,

Patty
