Sephora + OPI ILLY

Whaddup whaddup my homies.

Let's dive right in, shall we?

This is 2 coats of a nice Sephora polish that I got cheap in a 3-pack, I'm not sure what it's called. It's a purple foil that's nearly opaque in one coat, but I did two for good measure. The formula was absolutely lovely, although the brush is rather large and wide and paddle-like which was unpleasant but not impossible.

And then I slapped on two coats of OPI I Lily Love You which I haven't used in a while, so I felt like it could use some love.




Mmm I just love all the flakies and glitter mixed in all together. So pretty!

I don't really have much else to say other than I am obsessed with this song.

Feel So Close - Calvin Harris

And I've probably listened to it at least 20 times today. That is all. I wish you a good evening!

Hello my beautiful followers, I love you all! How are you wonderful people today?

Today I've got a mani that I've seen a few times around the blogosphere, and it started with OPI Cajun Shrimp. Then I used a black nail art pen to outline my nails all around the edges. The pen cracked a little bit as it dried, but you get the idea.





Unfortunately my nails are ridiculously curvy so it's kind of hard to see the outlining on the edges sometimes, but I like this idea overall! It's pretty cool and I like the red-and-black combo. 

Have you taken any exciting journeys into nail-art land recently? Anything new, or maybe something you finally got around to trying? I'd like to see! :)

China Glaze Smoke and Ashes + Luxe and Lush


All righty, here is our second-to-last installment of the Hunger Games series! At least everything I got from it. Today's mani begins with Smoke and Ashes, which represents district 12.



Wow I'm really feeling like I should do a reswatch of this because this looks like poop compared to the actual thing. This is two coats of Smoke and Ashes, which is a black polish with loads of blue/green/gold? shimmer. It's very nice and I like it a lot.

Now I also picked up Luxe and Lush so I decided to try it on top of Smoke and Ashes.








Luxe and Lush is the type of flakie topcoat that has the broken mirror sort of look, the edges are more jagged and sharp looking and it doesn't lie as flat as most flakies. The formula wasn't the best and it was kind of hard to get the distribution right but with a little adjustment all was well. I'd like to try this one over a wider variety of colors as well, I'm sure there are many interesting possibilities out there! Have you guys tried any cool combos with Luxe and Lush? Have any suggestions for me? I'm all ears!
