Absolutely

Hello Readers,

I know you're thinking, 2 posts in one week, amazing!! I know....

I wanted to share my mani. I thought the color was pretty. 

 

This is China Glaze's For Audrey with Nubar's Absolute holo on top

Absolute by itself is rather sheer and not as intense as most holos go.

I had to take pictures in my car before I went to work since there was lots of sun. 

 See the difference? Pictures inside don't look as vibrant. As you will also notice in the following pictures. Maybe I can find a good light for indoor pictures this week.

I also got some mini bottles of Lush Lacquer from Etsy in the mail. Sadly one bottle was broken =(

 I can't wait to use them.

(I love how the bubble wrap is nice and sharp in this photo but that actual subject is blurry, thanks phone camera =P)

This is the one that broke, its a clear base with a whole bunch of different colored and sized glitter. FUN!

It is probably my fault that it got broken. When I ordered it thru paypal I didn't check the address it was being sent to and it was shipped to my previous address. So it was forwarded and went back to Minneapolis then it was redelivered back at my old place and then after a call to the post office the other day it was finally delivered today. Plus its been ungodly hot here and sitting in a hot mail box probably isn't the best for nail polish.  So if you are purchasing using paypal, make sure to check the shipping address before ordering to avoid sad nail polish. However I think if I tape up the bottom real well I can salvage the bottle and still be able to use some of the polish. Yippie!

Here are the other two of my order. Birthday cake is a white base with rainbow glitter. Reminds me of funfetti cake. Party Hearty is a light shimmery pink base with pink and blue glitters and blue hearts.

I thought I would share with you the base and top coats that I use.

This is the base coat I use. I think it is making my nails stronger. It says use once a week, which is what I do, otherwise I use Sally Hansen base and top coat with the blue lid. I get most of my Orly purchases from Sally Beauty or Ulta (when I am able to get to one)

This is the top coat I use most of the time. Seche Vite, don't ask me how to pronounce it. I like it because it dries fast and it is super shiny. Its usually $7-$9. It is also available at Sally Beauty and I find it at a local drug store. I don't think I have seen it at Walgreens.

Its over.....

until next post.....
