This is the last of my scheduled posts, and the last of my manicures. I decided to go out with a bang and experiment with sponging, a technique I have not really fully mastered. But I love it! I think I made a mistake picking such a herpes-tastic glitter. 😦 It was so hard to clean up, and you can still see some residue in the following photos. I apologize!

I began with a base color from Avon, also in my haul recently. This is Luxe Lavender, a very beautiful pale lilac. In love, I am.

I sponged Milani Purple Gleam on the tips and stamped with Sally Hansen Chrome in Black Pearl, with Konad M60. Inside the flowers are bullion beads from a Bundle Monster nail art package.

Here comes pic spam!

Topped off with Seche Vite, of course.
I am almost done with  my first bottle, wow… But it makes sense, I do other people’s nails and finish it off with SV, and a friend comes over and uses some of it too so that’s why it would go so quickly.

This is hands down one of my most favorite manicures EVAR.

A swatch of Avon Urban Grey. It looked a lot more grey in the bottle, but on me it was kind of disappointing and ew-ish with my skin tone. It has a hidden shimmer too. Reminds me a lot of OPI’s I Vant to be a Lone-Star!

Stamped with Sally Hansen Chrome in Salmon Pearl, with a Born Pretty fauxnad m73 plate.

lolol bad title. Shrug. here be the pretty.

Orly Pure Gold swatch. A beautiful matte, and the formula is to die for in mattes, IMO. It dries very quickly but not TOO quickly– like to the point where you can’t correct or else you’ll pull up the first layer.

Nummy. Baby blue chrome, what’s to hate?

I got a big ass Avon haul in today, and among these was the Avon Mirror Shine collection which I had heard was wonderful for stamping (I have been on a chrome polish collecting prowl lately I admit) so I got all their colors. Not to mention, they are having a big sale on their polish online as well.

Base color: Orly Pure Gold
Stamping Color: Avon Mirror Shine in Glisten
