Funhouse Danse

Hey there Bloggerettes! Today I have a very delicate and cute mani for you. It's also my first jelly sandwich. This is 2 coats of OPI Care to Danse(a sheer lavender jelly), 1 coat Dandy Nails Funhouse(a shredded teal, purple glitter with micro silver glitter), and 1 more coat of Care to Danse. 

Funhouse is such an awesome glitter. The only issue I had was a few shreds were sticking up through my top coat. I just used my little scissors and trimmed them up. Dandy Nails Funhouse retails for $8 for .5oz of polish. She's currently on hiatus but she should be back in stock soon!

Pirouette my Pointe

Good afternoon Bloggerettes! I am enjoying a lazy stormy day off with the pups. Todays post features my two favorite polishes from the OPI NYC Ballet collection, Pirouette my Whistle a clear base with micro silver and large white hex glitter and My Pointe Exactly a sheer grey jelly. This collection is a great palette cleanser when you need a break from the bright colors.

This is 3 coats of My Pointe Exactly, 1 coat of Pirouette My Whistle, and a coat of Seche Vite. The glitter spreads perfectly and isn't hungry. There is a slight visible nail line but I love the look. I purchased the entire OPI NYC Ballet collection from Amazon at $36.45 including shipping. However the price has gone up a few cents since then.

I purchased some striping tape over on eBay forever ago and decided to attempt a look. Unfortunately after just working on my thumb I was frustrated that my tape kept getting stuck on the roll making it difficult to find where I left off, lol. 


This is one thick coat of Wet n' Wild Blue Moon, a dark navy blue with green shimmer, no top coat. I didn't bother to clean up as I immediately removed it. I'll attempt striping tape again one day, maybe, lol.

I recently made an Instagram account and it has become an obsession for me. I would love for you all to follow me, feedkmayeorchids. For now I'll just leave you with some of my favorite Instagram pictures I took this past week.

Anachronism, A Franken

Anachronism is made from various glitter polishes I had laying around, much like my previous franken, Bile. However, rather than a clear base she has a jelly grey base. One of the many wonderful women I have met via Facebook polish groups did a very beautiful version of this that inspired me to get my franken juices flowing. This is 2 coats of Anachronism over SOPI Sparkling Personality.





She's a bit sheer so that extra sparkle shining through is from Sparkling Personality. No nail has the same mixture of glitter making each one it's own special little snowflake! There is no wrong way to make this franken so I urge you to try this out yourselves! Now I'd like to end this post with some lols to cheer us all up. <3
