Orange You Glad?

It's spring!  Fell in love with this color and was so happy with it on the nail, I didn't want to have it share the spotlight with an over-involved nail design.  So one nail with a bit of sparkle, and it was done.  So pretty.  So bright.  So happy.

I painted three coats of OPI A Roll In The Hague.  On my pointer I added a coat of Essie's Shine Of The Times and added a few larger orange, glitter flakes I bought from Esther's Nail Center.  I used Seche Vite as my top coat.

Moonshine

I hate these pictures.  I never got a good one.  But the actual, in person look, was very pretty and near holographic.

I painted four total coats for this layered effect: two coats China Glaze First Mate with one coat on top of Orly Royal Navy, finishing with one coat of Finger Paints Flecked.  Seche Vite was my top coat.

Purple Opal

I don't have the right name for this manicure, but it is the first installment in my step towards Valentine's day nails.

I painted three coats of Zoya Mira and added Bundle Monster image disk BM218 with Konad Special Polish in Violet.  I painted one coat of Finger Paints Flecked with one coat of Seche Vite.

Outer Space

I'm doing a 2-4-1 with this post.  These two manicures seem to go together and I loved them both.

Celestial: This is three coats of China Glaze Up All Night and LA Splash cosmetic glitter in Silver Wave with larger hex glitter from my collection from Esther's Nail Center (a mutil-colored copper mix).  I added one coat of Seche Vite to finish the look.

Nebulous: This manicure was inspired by the flakie glitter showed in this manicure.  I just pictured a space theme with the colored flecks and loved this final look.  I painted three coats of China Glaze Liquid Leather.  For the nebulous, I dotted the center with Orly Glitz & Glamour and China Glaze Icicle, hand painted accents with China Glaze Cyberspace.  Over the entirety I painted two coats of Finger Paints Asylum and added one coat of Seche Vite for the top coat.

Fowl Flower

Orly's Fowl Play is a great base for a manicure.  I ended up adding a lot of design to it and may have taken away from its awesomeness.  But you can click on the link to my swatches of the color to see it in its full glory.

I painted three coats of Fowl Play and added Bundle Monster plate BM201 with Konad Special Polish in Violet and plate BM207 with China Glaze Platinum Silver.  One coat Seche Vite was used to finish the manicure.
