Monochrome Monday

Good morning Bloggettes! Today I have another group mani. This time it's Monochrome Monday, or black and white for us more simple folk, lol. It took me forever to come up with something and I am happy with my results. I did different looks on each hand this round but both start with the same base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (told ya' it's my favorite!), followed by 2 coats of Sally Hansen Glass Slipper(white glitter flecks/shimmer).

Once dry I applied several pieces of strip tape to each nail. Next I used LA Colors Art Deco in Black as I am out of regular black polish.

Tape has just been freshly pulled, no top coat yet.

Finishing the look is Lynnderella Connect the Dots followed by a generous coat of Seche Vite.

For my right hand I used 2 coats of Pahlish Typewriter Keys (shredded white/black glitter with silver/holo shimmer) and 1 coat of Lynnderella Connect the Dots.

I love, love, love the way this came out, reminds me of one of my favorite movies Beetle Juice and my Boston babies Zombri and Bronson. The only thing I would change is a coat of Gelous before Seche Vite as it is a bit gritty. 

I hope you enjoyed my mani, now lets see what the other ladies came up with!

Into the Night

 Hey Bloggerettes! Todays post features the amazing Girly Bits Into the Night. Into the Night is a black based polish with micro lime green, magenta, and holo glitter. I have been really wanting Girly Bits polishes but I always missed sales or didn't have funds at the time. But blessed be she opened up a new shop on Big Cartel and I was able to order 1 mini bottle. When I opened my package I was surprised to see a full size bottle with a note from Pam saying it was a shame to pay so much for shipping for just a mini polish. How sweet is that?! 

Gorgeous, isn't she? This is 1 coat of Gelous, 3 coats of Into the Night, and a 1 thick coat of Seche Vite. This polish is a bit hungry so I suggest using another coat of Gelous on top of it for a smooth finish. Into the Night retails for $10 in full size and $6 for mini size on Girly Bits website.

Black Tie

Sally Hansen recently updated their collections and the Diamond Strength bottle design. The new colors are lovely but the only one I have picked up so far is Black Tie. Black Tie is an awesome black duochrome that shines blue, purple, green, and pink. The duochrome is obviously more visible in the bottle than on the nail. Despite that the color is still pretty awesome!

I couldn't get a decent picture of the color changing magic to save my life. But boy did wearing it convince others to buy the polish at work! Sally Hansen Diamond Strength retails for $4.99 at Walgreens.

Zombri being her hot skeptical self.

Gold and Smoke

Good afternoon everyone! It's a beautiful sunny day in Florida and I'm watching some ancient CSI. My goodness the hair! It's awful, lol. I recently had my hair cut, my bangs are back. So I wanted to do a more dramatic smokey eye with a pop of color to celebrate.

It's been about 2 weeks since I had it cut like this. I've since cut them above my brows for a more Bettie look. It's funny, I waited forever for my old bangs to grow out but in the end I just enjoy this look more.
