SH Green with Envy with SH Fractured Foil Crackle

Hello all my polishnistas out there. So I know I'm not the only one who wanted to show some St. Patrick's Day spirit wearing green on my tips. This year I took it a few shades of green lighter and threw on some crackle polish for a nice effect.

Nothing crazy but it did get noticed.

Basecoat: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
Top Coat: Ultra Pro Nail in Wet Glaze

Sally Hansen Gem Crush - Big Money

I couldn't resist this polish with loaded glittery goodness, even though I knew it would be a pain to remove. This comes from one of Sally Hansen's latest polish lines. The Gem Crush collection which consists of 8 colors. I have on Big Money.

The wear was satisfactory. I wanted extra glittery nails but may have applied it on too thick decreasing the longevity of the polish on my nails. It didn't chip like crazy but I think this was my boo boo.

Nicki Minaj OPI Contest

I entered the Nicki Minaj Nails For Life Contest last month on Facebook. The concept was to create nail designs inspired by one of the four outfits Nicki wore that OPI selected. The top nails in each category won the entire Nicki Minaj polish collection and an autographed CD. These were my nails..I didn't win but whatever. There were some really great designs out on there. I chose the Billboard outfit.

These were the choices:

Go Big Blue!

So these were my game day nails. As you can tell I was rooting for the NY Giants.

My game day winning design consists of :

Finger Paints in Papier Mache
Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Cherry Smash
American Apparel in Mount Royal (on tips)
Spoiled by Wet And Wild in Shaken Snow Globe

followed by my staple, Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat.

Beauty Treats - Nail Treats Polish in Coral Crush

I can't stress enough how nice it is to try out a different polish brand and actually be satisfied. This Beauty Treats polish I found at Mandee. I went in for earrings and came out with earrings and some polish surprises.
This shade I'm wearing is Coral Crush. Application was smooth and the wear was great. It lasted 7 days without a touch up. I'm impressed. I used China Glaze adhesion base coat and Ultra Pro top coat with a Seche Vite dry fast topcoat. The sticker was from my random collection of nail findings.

Go to Mandee and check them out.

Beautiful!
