Sephora by OPI, Serum No 5

I have not been feeling a lot of details lately so I went simple for the last few days.

 

Image

Two coats Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas. 

Two sheer coats Serum No 5 Forest Lights.

I dotted with Essie No Place Like Chrome and added a little blue bead in the middle.

Nfu Oh, Serum No 5, Zoya

I was in the layering mood and kept adding coats of anything that interested me!

I forgot to snap a picture of the two base colors which looked very cool together. The effect was lost after I added the glitter toppers.

Image

I used 2 coats Zoya Dream and 1 sheer coat Nfu Oh Opal Nfu 51 as my base.

I added a coat of Zoya Maria Luisa and a coat of Serum No 5 Happy Special Day!

I especially love how the gradient looks on my middle finger!

I sponged Sally Hansen Triple Shine Slick Black on the tips.

freehand, Milani, Nail Art, Revlon

I initially wanted to do this for the third theme of the Nail Polish Canada competition but I do not know if I really want to submit it.

It is exactly what I was going for, but something just does not look right.

 

I love peppermint bark. I love love love it, but I really only eat it during the holidays.

Image

I used 2 coats Julie G White Orchid followed by 1 coat Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen.

I sponged with Milani Dark Coffee.

I finished with red and clear microbeads as the peppermint pieces.

 

Thoughts, please!!
