I am wearing OPI Sweet Memories with Sally Hansen Disco Ball on top. 🙂
I’m wearing OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy with Sally Hansen’s Mist You on top!

Using Orly Bonder Base Coat & Orly Won’t Chip Top Coat. LOVE these. (:
I am wearing OPI’s Glee in Slushied on my fingers with Celibacy Club over it on my ring fingers and Gleeked Out on my toes. 🙂
Right now I am wearing Color Club Love Em’ Leave Em’. I have really been in a holographic mood lately. My toes are bare right now but I am thinking about using Zoya Gigi for a mani/pedi tomorrow.
NARS Desperado 🙂
I used the acrylic gel “Hard ar Nails Hard as Wraps” from Sally Hansen as a base and Revlon “Extra Life no chip top coat” as a top coat. I would usually used the Deborah Lipmann “Hard Rock” hardener for base and top coat, but I’m trying to find cheaper alternative.
I’m also wearing desperado right now. I don’t know if it’s the nail polish itself, or the base/top coat I used, but I’ve had it on a week now and there is almost no wear.

OPI teenage dream with the black crackle
Right now I’m rocking Essie- Trophy Wife. One of my new favorite colors.
Wearing Borghese Angelica Blush in both hands and toes. Worst. Formula. Ever! So streaky and took forever to dry. I’m taking it off tomorrow.
Finger Nails: Sally Hansen Brisk Blue with China Glaze Black Mesh Crackle polish on-top. The combo looks really great.
Toes: Heli-Yum by China Glaze
Oh, and speaking of the crackle polishes, here’s a tip… I’ve tested them for about a week and it seems they crackle best if you put them on nailpolish you’ve had on for a couple days, rather than some you applied ten minutes ago. The sooner I applied the crackle to the original nail polish application time, the less it crackled.It seems like they may work a tad different for each person, though, but maybe this will for some people. 🙂
Thanks! I’ll try that
Orly Rage on fingernails, and still trying to decide whether I should paint my toenails with Sinful Colors Forget Now or Orly Oh Cabana Boy…

I’m wearing MAC Something About Pink on my fingers and OPI My Chihuahua Bites! on my toes. They don’t really go together but I got my toenails done a week ago and I didn’t really have a similar colour… I was in the mood for summer brights b/c I’ve been wearing lots of work-safe neutrals lately. No fun.
