I chose a new addition to my collection, Orly's Oui.  This is a beautiful metallic purple with gold shimmer.  Definitely my type of polish.  Application was good, and dry time was good (Orly is known for uber long dry times).  I'm just in love with this color.

30 Manicure Challenge - Manicure #4

The fourth manicure is a green manicure.

I really wanted to wear one of my new polishes, that I'm now totally in love with.  This is Androgynie by Orly.  It is a very dark olive base with small glitter and bigger hex glitter.  The flash picture shows the base color better.  For some reason it was really hard to get the proper color to translate to film without it looking black.  The application was smooth, there's a lot of glitter in there too.  I would love to see other color with this type of glitter, it's such a fun polish.

NOTD - Real Flowers!

As I was going through some older art supplies of mine I found dried flowers that I had purchased to make paper years ago and it struck me, I must incorporate them into a mani!

The polishes used are Rimmel-Princess Pink as a base, and on top of the flowers a coat each of Orly-Love Each Other, and Fifty-Four.

Surprisingly the flowers hold up well, as none have started to come off yet (I've now been wearing this mani for 3 days).

I apologize for the messyness of around my nails, you never notice it until a picture like that is taken.
