Nudes n' Brights

Hey Everyone!
Today's post is a cute look that I thought I'd give a shot.  It's an interesting combination on nude polish and a bright color.  If you try this out feel free to substitute the green I used for any other bright color you like. 




Now each nail was done a little differently.  For the pointer and pinky, I started with a base of Zoya Mitzi.  This is a kind of sour green color.  It has a matte finish, so if you want it to shine you'll need a top coat.  I used some striping tape and made a diagonal.  Then I painted over the nail (below the tape) with OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons.  This polish is really growing on me.  I was a bit hesitant about it when I first bought it but now I actually like it!  For my middle finger and thumb I started with Don't Pretzel My Buttons as the base.  Then I laid two pieces of striping tape in the middle of my nail in a chevron.  Then I went over it with Mitzi.  Be careful wen removing the tape so that you don't mess up the polish underneath.  On my ring finger I simply used two coats of OPI DS Classic.  Finished it all off with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

I hope y'all enjoyed, and if you give it a shot then leave it in the comments below!  Have a wonderful week!

My New Obsession: Sparkles!

Hey everybody!

Today's post is about one of my new favorite polishes.  I bought OPI DS classic about two months ago, and I hadn't really given it the time of day, simply because I thought it would be too nude.  Well, I was COMPLETELY WRONG!!! 

This picture captures the different color sparkles!
So what I really love about this color is grainy look.  It is such a fine glitter that it doesn't have a rough texture like most glitters.  The glitter has a slight holographic quality in the correct light, which is something I have never had before.  It is just as easy to remove as any normal nail polish.  I am really glad I found this, and I hope to find more Designer Series polishes in the future.  I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope to get a few more in this week if I can.  Love you guys!
