Glistening Gold

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

When I first put the Orly color on, I wasn’t too sure how it looked on me… I think it kind of looked gross, but the Black Creme became the savior 😉

This one wasn’t my favorite…

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.

Linear Hearts

 Another one for the Valentine’s week mani! 😀 This is a patchwork mani base, with a stamp.

 The pinks for the base was Orly Butterflies; Orly Pixy Stix; and Orly Cotton Candy (this one was the whole base and is the lightest pink color you can see)

For the stamping I used Misa’s Single and Ready to Limbo, a red creme. 😀
