Glam Spiderwebs

Monday, October 28, 2013 10/28/2013 02:12:00 PM

Recently I got my greedy polish loving hands on the OPI Miss Universe Trio. I was in love with the Silver polish that dries with a satin finish. GORG!! Plus the other two shades are unique in my collection. I don't have anything else like them.

So once they arrived, I knew I wanted to do a fun Halloween look with the three of them. First I applied a base of OPI I'm Feeling Sashy, a beautiful dusty light purple.

Next using I'm Feeling Sashy and Miss You-ninverse, a dark eggplant purple, to create a gradient over all my nails. I love a pretty gradient, but why do they have to be so freaking hard to clean-up?

Finally, on my thumb and ring finger, I freehanded some spiderwebs with This Gown Needs a Crown, a beautiful silver metallic that dries to a Satin Finish. I hope they make a gold with this finish. :-)

I have two more Halloween designs that I need to get on the blog before the holiday! Wish me luck.

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

A little surprise...

Hey All,

I know things have been CAH-RAY-ZEE around the blog lately. But with the big move, then leaving for China tomorrow, I'm sure you can imagine what my life has been like lately. The good news is we're all settled in our new place. (NO POLISH CASUALTIES) To bad we leave for close to 3 weeks tomorrow. :-)

Anyways, I've got a few manis I want to show you before I leave. Today, I have a mani created with 3 OPI polishes.

For this mani I started with OPI Koala Bear-y a gorgeous purple toned bright pink. It is so pretty. On my ring finger, I started with OPI DS Radience. and added OPI Which is Witch? on the top for even more sparkle.

Speaking of ring fingers and sparkles...this happened when we moved to NYC.

Naturally I cried all over the place. Plus the ring is so stunning. I can't stop looking at my hand, and this time it has nothing to do with my finger nails. ;-) It's a yellow sapphire surrounded by diamonds, which is exactly what I wanted!!

I've got one more post to get up before I leave, so expect one tomorrow as well. Can't wait for you all to see what I have cooked up over there!!!

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Untried Polish Challenge: In Season

Wednesday, May 29, 2013 5/29/2013 01:07:00 PM

And I officially suck at life, because while I had the pictures ready for this post and intended that it go up on time, I totally forgot about it. The 3 day weekend threw me off my game.

Anyways, today is day 13 of the Untried Polish Challenge and the theme is In Season. It's almost summer here so to me that means BRIGHT COLORS.

I started off with a base of Butter London's Diamond Geezer. This is a silver foil that is absolutely amazing. However, removing it sucks, but that is the nature of all polish like this.

After waiting for Diamond Geezer to dry, I painted on half moons in Essie's Shake Your $$ Maker. This is from their Neon Summer Collection, It's a super bright neon jelly, that freaked my camera out. I couldn't get the color to show anywhere near its actual brightness.

To spice things up, I lined the Half Moons with Blue Sequins or Gleequins as they are called. This was a really fun mani to wear, and I'm glad I branched out and tried half moons. I'll try these again in the future now that I know how easy they are.

What does "In Season" mean to you?
