#TheLacquerRing: Geometric
Thursday, July 31, 2014

The Lacquer Ring is back for its final prompt in July. Jessica of Once Upon a Polish picked geometric for our art theme this month. I really wanted to free hand a design this time around since my freehanding failed in June.
I started off with a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff. This is a beautiful cream/off white. I love the way this polish looks and its a good alternative from stark white.
Using acrylic paints and a tiny paint brush I freehanded this plaid look. About halfway through I decided trying to freehand a geometric look was not the best decision I've ever made. However, I rather like what I ended up with, so I'm calling it a success.
Don't forget to check out what Cynthia, Amanda, Lesley, Frosso, Jessica, Siobhan, and Nicole came up with as well.

First Fall Look of the Season

Today I have a fun manicure for you done with all OPI polishes. This is my first fall look of the year, although I can't promise that I'm done with bright summery colors. I just love bright colors so much. I can't help it.
Anywho....first up let me show you a swatch of one of the base colors. This is OPI My Vampire is Buff.

I'm sorry for the really washed out tone of my skin in those photos. However the polish color is accurate. My camera has been doing weird things lately. Ugh.
This look uses OPI Ms. O'Leary's BBQ, a dark oxblood red, OPI My Private Jet, a deep brown with rainbow flashing sparkles, and OPI My Vampire is Buff.
Ms. O'Leary's BBQ is hard to capture, but I really like the way these colors came together.
What is your go to fall look?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

China Glaze On the Horizon Collection

So I know that for most people it's either a love or hate thing when it comes to bar glitter. My friend Valerie hates bar glitter (she calls them Hairy Glitter) but I'm firmly in the LOVE group. So today, I have for you a fun collection. This is China Glaze's On the Horizon Collection.
The formula was similar on all of these so let me get it out of the way. I applied one coat over a base color for all of these and loaded up my brush with glitter, put a big glob on my nail, then pushed it around to cover the nail. (I hope that makes sense) On to the pictures. There are alot of them so be prepared.
Flying South over LCN Hot Chili. Flying South is peach and yellow bar glitter in a clear base with peach microglitter.
