OPI Alpine Snow in Matte as a base, and Misa Party in the Masquerade (I’ll go home and update this later, swear! :p Photo was also taken with my phone’s camera, and I have better, more glossier pictures on my camera that I will update with as well) with a Bundle Monster stamp.

On another note, I have a huge haul coming up and I’m SOOOOO antsy for it to get here ahhhh. I also crave pasta. Wtf?

PS: Crackle collection by China Glaze came in today!

 Base color- OPI The One That Got Away; top glitter- OPI Teenage Dream; Stamp- Pure Ice Sterling Silver.

 Decided to matte it down with Essie’s Matte About You. Then added Seche Vite over the stamp pattern only.

Comparison of matte vs glitter/shiny topcoat. I think the matte brings out the sparkles a little more, somehow.

This is another one for the Valentine’s theme week 🙂

 Base color, OPI La Paz-itively Hot, in matte. I have a few things to say about this polish/formula but eh.

 Stamped with a BM plate, with my staple, Wet N Wild Black Creme.

Didn’t like it matte that much, so added a top coat!

 I started with Nubar Midnight in matte.

 Stamped with Wet N Wild Black Creme. Yeah I know I didn’t clean up… Check out my thumb– I didn’t do so bad! There’s a visible seam though. 😦

Wanted to see what a topcoat would look like, so I did the thumb only. Kind of pretty 🙂

We have Nubar Contempo, which is a very nice matte red and then Nubar 2010 flakies over Contempo. Let me just say Nubar 2010 is the most amazing thing I’ve ever discovered so far.

 God, that is HORRID application 😦 I did this while chatting with a friend and watching the trashiest TV we could find, while on a couch. I usually apply while on my desk, and this helps me have really steady hands. I don’t have a TV tray or something of the sort. Must acquire one.

 Look!! Flaky action!

 Proof of Nubar 2010 Ownership 😉
