Purple Leopard

Hey guys! I just have a quick post for you today, since it's Sunday night and I have to do homework for school tomorrow! This is a cute little mani that I did about a week ago. I got a lot of compliments on this one!

Natural lighting

Artificial lighting

The light purple is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac, the medium purple is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Purple Potion, and the dark purple is a China Glaze that I do not have the name of at the moment....

These were really cute, and had such a cool visual effect from a distance!

On a side note, have any of you seen Breaking Dawn Part 2? I just saw it today, and to my surprise I actually really enjoyed it! (It had the biggest plot twist I've ever seen-what a surprise!)

Dot Gradient...Kind Of.

Okay. I have officially fallen in love with Chalkboard Nails tutorials. Seriously. The last three manicures I did have been inspired by her tutorials (I haven't posted all of them yet; wait and see!) Go check them out!
So tonight, I have a quick and cute manicure to show you, a "dot gradient" of sorts. Take a look and see what you think.

The blue is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Pacific Blue (Absolutely ADORE this colour), the white is OPI
My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and the pink is OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips. I love all of these polishes, and combining them only seems to make them better.

I really like this design. It's so simple, and yet it pops. I'll definitely be trying this in different, more wintry colours.

I don't know if it's the sudden change of the weather, but everyone seems to be getting sick, and I think I've caught the bug. Yuck. Oh well, nothing a good cup of tea (or three) can't fix!

Some Fall Swatches

Oh my goodness! I feel like I've totally been neglecting my blog lately! Yes, I know, I haven't posted in a week. I just haven't had the time, and I promise I will try to post more in the future.
Anyways, on to the nails! So about a week ago, I was at Winners (I can never go shopping without checking in Winners; They usually have very good deals on nail polish!) and I couldn't find anything. Nothing at all in the cosmetics section. Feeling slightly dejected, I was on my way out when I passed a little basket near checkout and then...BAM! Bottle after bottle of nail polishes, more then I've seen ever before. OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Orly, you name it. Where I live, it's not easy to come across Orlys, so of course I was thrilled to see so many of these polishes on the shelves. In the end I did leave with a considerably heavier shopping bag and a slight spring to my step.
Today I have two polishes to show you. One is China Glaze, and one is Orly.
The first one I'm going to show you is Orly Stone Cold. It is a GORGEOUS royal blue jelly base shimmer that is absolutely STUNNING. I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking.

It looks matte in this one.....odd lighting 

Is this not the most BEAUTIFUL blue? I absolutely love it, and will definitely be wearing it more in the fall season. My last polish is China Glaze Unpredictable. It is a green holo shimmer from the Bohemian Luster Chrome collection. I absolutely LOVED this, and I got so many complements and "How did you do that?"s when I had it on.

This one was impossible to photograph. I just couldn't capture it's beauty. The next one shows more of the shimmer in it.

Like I said before, I LOVE these polishes. They're both so darn pretty! 

How do you like these polishes? Are you ready for winter? (I'm not...) Have you gotten your first Starbucks Holiday Drink yet? ;)
