Twinsie Tuesday - Favorite Color (China Glaze Skyscraper)

Good Morning! TGIT....because Tuesday is better than Monday, lol. Our theme for today was our favorite color. I have two favorites, magenta and blue. Since I've done magenta before for a twinsie post (the color of our rooms) I decided to go with blue. I chose China Glaze Skyscraper. I used two coats for the photos below and topped it with Seche Vite. As much as I love glitter polish, they've been getting pushed towards the back of my Helmers more and more. No matter what I do, I have chips within 24-48 hours. Womp womp...



Be sure to check out my Twinsies. I'm excited to see which of us have the same favorite colors...

Twinsie Tuesday - Polish Roulette (China Glaze Bare it All and Mango Madness)

Good Morning! It's Tuesday, so we know what that means  :)  The theme for today was polish roulette, where we picked two random polishes from our stash and make them work together. I headed over to my Helmer and decided to dive into my China Glaze drawer since I haven't shown them much love lately. I picked out Bare it All. When I went back in for a second dip, I may have looked just ever so quickly before reaching down and grabbed Mango Madness. I don't consider it cheating, my eyes were closed when I reached down lol. I attempted to do a gradient, which turned out to be a little more uneven than expected. I used three coats of Bare it All and a coat of Mango Madness. Sorry for the cruddy photo. I dropped my camera when the zoom was open last week and now it's broken  :*(

Twinsie Tuesday - Nails Painted by Someone Else (OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest)

Good Morning! Errr, before we get started I have to come clean about not being prepared for the Twinsie Tuesday theme for this week. The theme was to have someone else paint our nails. I've been running super behind with blogging, and I've been doing my TT manis last minute lately. It's 11:30pm on Monday evening and I just realized that I don't have anyone available to paint my nails.....
Sorry for the fail on my part! I didn't want to not write anything, so in lieu of what I was supposed to post today I'm just going to leave you with a recent NOTD which was 2 coats of OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest.



Be sure to check out the other Twinsie Tuesday ladies, who I'm sure did much better than me this week.
Sorry ladies! :(

Twinsie Tuesday - Copy Cat Post # 2

Good morning! Today we have another Copy Cat post. The first time around I was paired up with Anna from Going to the Showing. She has amazing nail art skills. Due to arthritis/carpal tunnel of some sort that it taking over the joints in my fingers the last few days I was feeling less than skilled this week. I decided to go with something simple. I searched and searched through Anna's posts until I found a polish that I also owned. I did two coats of China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald topped with Seche Vite. For whatever reason, I just don't like this polish on me. It looks fantastic on Anna, but on me I think it clashes a bit :::puts in purge pile:::

Check out Anna's post featuring Emerald Fitzgerald here.

My swatches:

 
Just. Not. A. Fan.  I embrace my paleness at all times but I feel like this just makes me look uber washed out. It's much more dark teal than it is emerald. I wouldn't even consider it a true green. I've had it on since Sunday, but I'm blaming my laziness on that.
 
Don't forget to check out all of my Twinsies and their copy cat manicures.....
