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
Bundle monster stamping plate

Base color: Orly Blue Collar; Stamping: Flowers was Wet N Wild Saved by the Blue and the butterflies was Sally Hansen Chrome in Anemone. Used Bundle Monster stamps.

It really looked a lot better in person– for some reason this picture is choosing to show all the ugly imperfections!! 😐 Not cool.

 Began with three coats of Essie Lilacism. Yes. It is sheer and streaky. Pretty pastel color though.

 Layered Sally Hansen’s Hidden Treasure over it… Too subtle for me actually, but it was pretty.

 China Glaze Crackle in Fault Line over it. Liked this one quite a bit.

 Was hard to see the flakies through, though. Maybe if I added several coats of the flakies? Anyway I scrapped it, and ultimately went outside with…

 Essie Lilacism, stamped with Fauxnad and used bullion beads from the BM gem set over the natural dots in the stamping pattern. Stamp color: Sally Hansen Chrome in Royal Purple

Pretty 🙂 The bullion beads were a tad too bumpy for me though.

 Started with Wet n Wild Blue Moon, and the color isn’t accurate in this photo… Not sure why.

Stamped over with Sally Hansen Chrome in Topaz, the WnW color is more accurate in here, definitely.

I’ve been thinking about my Mom a lot lately (Not like I don’t, but you know.) and she, my grandmother, and I always believed that butterflies symbolized messages from the deceased. I’ve missed Mom a lot this week, and so I decided to choose the butterfly image because it’s too cold for them to visit me here in DC 🙂
