My Colors – Brown

So here is my assortment of browns. They are not is order, but they looked different in the bottles and I didn’t feel like redoing them. But I like my collection of nudes.

New Acquisition

So I found a Revlon Colorstay at Big Lots for $1.50. Its the brown I’ve been looking for for ages! It’s kind of the color of Nutella.

I made an accent nail using Timbleberry (Sinful Colors).

Strawberry & Chocolate

These were my nails last week. I did a staggered arrangement of pink and brown. It turned out really fun.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you had a nice, or at least a less stressful then usual Thanksgiving. Let’s face it, family gatherings are frought with tension and the most you can hope for is that no one blows a gasket. In public.

On the other hand, my fingers, on both hands, 🙂 looked very festive for the holiday.

 

 

For my fingers I saw this really great design from a fellow WordPress blogger, Coewless Nail Polish. And although I do not have red glitter (hint hint Santa) I do have a new red sparkle. I found a mini China Glaze on sale and it looks lovely. That and my very old chuncky gold glitter, it all came out smashingly. I seem to be in a very colorful adjective mood. Pardon the flourishes. Any way, I started with a white base, then added a thick tip of a gold sparkle, followed by a regular tip of the red sparkle, then several layers of the chucky gold glitter. It was awesome and it got rave reviews from random strangers which is always nice.

Snow Me White – Sinful Colors. Seashell – L.A. Colors. Ruby Pumps – China Glaze. The Gold Glitter I’ve had forever.

I also did my toes for autumn. There was this lovely combo of browns, grey and black. I did not have the colors in the picture, but mine were pretty close.

Inspiration

Mine:

Nomadic in Nude  – Color Club. Earthy Angel – Color Club. Haute Chocolate – Sally Hansen.  Sidewalkers – N.Y. Colors. Black Creme – Wet ‘n Wild.

A Lovely Golden Brown

So I tried something more autumnal. I did a base of Haute Chocolate by Salon Manicure. Then I did a top coat of This Is It by Sinful Colors. I think it looks really chocolate-y. 🙂

Sparkles in Nude

So I’ve moved on through the browns. I used both shades of nudes, and then added a graduated shower of sparkle.

As you can see I divided the colors between the hands. The sparkles starts thick at the tips and thin out as they go toward the cuticle. I love glancing at it as I type, its so pretty and elegant.

Colors: Nomadic in Nude and Earthy Angel by Color Club and Kaleidoscope by Wet n Wild.

Classy and Funky and Fun!

I saw this on Pinterest, but the picture was really small and the website only had the one picture. So it took me awhile to figure out the color sequence. I thought it looked so sophisticated and classy, but fun and funky at the same time.

The colors (starting from the right hand pinky) Nirvana – Sinful Colors, Nomadic in Nude – Color Club, Blazed – Wet ‘n Wild, New Bohemian – Color Club, Shabby Drab – Color Club.

I also redid my toes, because the rhinestones didn’t survive my shoes. I saw this sparkley pattern for fingers, but I thought it would look great on piggys. The white is Snow Me White by Sinful Colors, with a topcoat of sparkles. So much glitter!

Pretty Colors!!!

There’s a store in town that is closing one of their locations, so everything is on sale. I found a nail polish set for $10 and it was 10% off! It’s by Color Club and the collection is called Back to Boho. I love it, and it includes a brown and a purple that I’ve been looking for! I went looking online to check out what other colors and collections this company had and discovered that if purchased from the company I would have paid $48 for this same collection. At which point I proceeded to dance the “I-Got-Something-on-SaaAAAle!” dance. I’m sure you’re familiar with this particular shimmy. 🙂 I also purchased a magnetic nailpolish and I will try that soon and let you know how it works.

So here is the Boho collection. Beginning on the left we have, Nomadic in Nude, Earthy Angel, New Bohemian, Shabby Drab, Rad Nomad, and Red-ical Gypsy. The collection also came with a clear topcoat.

I painted my nails with Earthy Angel and for my accent nails I used Firefly and This is It, both by Sinful Colors. Here is the inspiration for this particular design.

I Am Loving Nail Polish!

So this is to chronicle new nail polish designs I have tried and any other beauty bits that I try. I am trying a whole bunch of different patterns I’ve seen online.

Here is the first nail polish design. It was also my first attempt at a one point chevron. I think it turned out ok. The only thing about layers is that I waited a day between each layer to make sure that each layer was dry enough
