Chine Glaze Sexy Silhouette

Hello hello!
I'm pretty fond of the color I have for you guys this time! The color is Sexy Silhouette by China Glaze!

It is a beautiful bright fuchsia. After about two coats it's fine, but it is slightly sheer to the point where I could see my nail line underneath. That (and the fact I fell asleep right after painting and got scuffs and scratches on them) caused me to use three coats. I don't wear pinks a lot but I LOVE this one. It also has a subtle shimmer that is amazing. Sexy Silhouette is one of the core colors available at Sally's now, but it was originally from the Fashion Lounge collection. Check it out!

So of course after I painted my nails this color, I had to spice it up a little bit(:

On my pointer finger is the lovely Flurry Up! from Sephora by OPI. On the other three nails, I used these cute little decals my twin got me for Christmas a year or two ago. I was originally going to stamp my nails but then she requested I should use these so, I did! They are ridiculously easy to apply and I know they stay on quite well and for good periods of time from my previous experiences wearing them. You just take them off the sheet and plop them on! BUT BEWARE: once they're on ... they're usually ON. for good. I'm slightly clumsy with my hands so I'm always careful to be ... careful haha. And if you're wondering what they are...... they're these:

And yes, they were from Sally's Beauty Supply. So, what do you guys think? 

2012 starting with Sephora by OPI Flurry Up!

Happy New Years!
I ended 2011 and started 2012 with a mani consisting of a polish that is dear to me for certain reasons, OPI's Queen of West Web-erly. This color is from the 2009 OPI's Valentine's Day Collection. It's a gorgeous purple that almost looks magenta sometimes. Also, I had to use three coats to get rid of the brush streaks because it is a little bit sheer, but I still love it!

I was intending to do something else for this mani but.... I didn't. So I ended up letting it go top coat-less for awhile before I decided it was time to do something and by then the damage had been done, so please forgive me for the bad-ish pictures. (Later you'll see how I spiced it up for New Years with Sephora by OPI Flurry Up!) Also, this color is SO much prettier in real life. It really is a gorgeous purple shimmer.

So after a few days of wear and tear and bumps and knicks that made my mani go... bad needless to say, I added a new member to my collection! I got Sephora by OPI Flurry Up! and I was dyinggg to use it so I did! What other than sparkles and glitter to hide a manicure's imperfections? Flurry Up! is a clear base with glitter and large hexagonal glitters. The large glitters had a tendency to go with the brush and and up at the end of the nail but after a bit of prodding and nudging, it was no big deal. So after I applied two coats of Flurry Up! and one coat of OPI's top coat (finally), I was ready to start 2012 with my new mani! (and I really did start 2012 with this, I did it on the 31st teehee) So! Here it is, Flurry Up!

AND NOW FOR THE WORST PICTURE OF ALL! The stars themselves, Queen of West Web-erly and Flurry Up!

yeah .... sorry about this(:

So I hope you guys liked this as much as I've been enjoying it. It's still on my nails and I often find myself just admiring it. Next time I'm thinking about trying some more stamping! My manicure before this was stamping and actually looked pretty darn good... I just never took pictures of it. Oh well. Tell me what you think!
