A whole bunch of blue flash visible here, but also some of the pink, too.

Misa It's You!
You can see both the pink-rose flash and the blue in the picture. Not my favorite polish, but still way cooler than just a regular gun metal grey polish. Fabulous formula, as always.
Nfu-oh 56 over OPI Yodel Me on My Cell
Not a whole bunch of flakie goodness is visible in the photo, but it was way cooler in real life. I got so many compliments on the manicure at work. It looked really metallic and then the flakies made it even better!

OPI Yodel Me on My Cell
3 coats. Very good formula, but it doesn't wow me. Ack look at that dry skin! Its slightly duochrome. A wee bit greener or bluer depending on the angle. Its has that frosty shimmer visible in sunshine or bright lighting, that was so popular in fall 2010 collections.

OPI DS Magic
You may have wondered where I disappeared to. Just a heck of a lot going on. I've been less than healthy over the past few weeks. I think I have got SAD (seasonal affective disorder), too. It gets dark about 4:30 now. I can't stand this time of year.
I put this polish on tonight, thinking it might cheer me up. Its so beautiful! Glittery and duochromey, though you cannot see that in my photos. It shifts to purple.
Nicole Fell From the Tree
My collection of squashy boob bottles is growing! Nicole is putting out some awesome nail polish. This is part of the 2010 Holiday Target Exclusive Collection. I picked up quite a few of them. They're just gorgeous! I feel as thoughthis picture is quite lacking. I love the depth of the color and the slight duochromatic pull to blue.

Mac Bad Fairy
My first Mac polish! My photos do not seem to do it justice. The Ott light seems to wash it out and make the coppery hue more prevalent. I am very happy with this polish. I found the formula very good and it wore well.

Gradient Mani
I have never received so many compliments on a manicure in one day! Customers were telling me all day how much they liked it.
I did this gradient mani last night. It was easy and fun. I used ChG Frostbite as a base. I added Zoya Ivanka first at the cuticle end, then put OPI DS Magic on the tips, then I used SH HD DVD in the middle to blend them together with the help of a little Orly Smudge Fixer. The smudge fixer smooths and blends the colors together.
I am loving these new foil-glitter polishes. Zoya's Sparkle Collection, OPI's Summer Flutter Collection, and Sally Hansen HD Ultra all have polishes with this awesome finish.
ChG Tempest over ChG First Class Ticket
I had intended to wear First Class Ticket. I got on 2 or 3 coats and the found the formula gloopey and uneven. So disappointing! I'm afraid I cannot recommend it highly. So I grabbed Tempest, which was untried. I had bought it at Sally's last year and never tried it. OMGosh I was missing out! It is smooth like butter! It has an unusual shimmer to it.. maybe a bit frosty.. I dunno, its sort of duochrome-y. I top coated it and it looks like glass covering its swirl-y duochrominess (are those actual adjectives?). It could be a tad brush strokey, so be careful. This is one coat over the First Class Ticket.

ChG Midnight Ride + CND Raspberry Sparkle
I really do love my CND Effects. They're really fun. I had applied ChG Midnight Ride and was disappointed with how black it was. The eggplant shimmer was very subtle. I decided to tart it up a bit.

OPI Cuckoo for this Color
I really do like this color! Its a wee bit duochrome. Has that darkened edge and glowing color. This is two coats and the formula was divine.
