St. Patrick's Day!

I have been absolutely miserable the past few days, but in case I don't make it later tonight back to the computer, here is my manicure for St. Patrick's Day.


I used a base coat of OPI Natural Nail, 2 coats of OPI Don't Mess with OPI, and a top coat of OPI Top Coat.  Then I used China Glaze Lightning Bolt crackle polish, with a final coat of Seche Vite.

Blogs of Note

Happy Sunday!  As I'm recovering from an awesome birthday party, here's a few blogs for you to check out.


First is Nail Juice.  I started reading this blog before I was blogging, and have always loved reading it.  She tends to keep her nails short but they always look so good!


Next is Nail Junkie.  Sadly, she hasn't updated in awhile, but I always loved her pictures so I haven't brought myself to unsubscribe just yet.  She normally keeps her nails short as well and features some nail art.


Last is Hocake Nails.  She has medium nails and features some nail art.  Now she just needs to update more!  :)

China Glaze First Mate

Also from the Anchor's Away China Glaze spring collection is First Mate, a royal navy blue creme.  Man, you want to talk about blue - THIS is blue.  The formula was super nice on this one and thankfully, no smurf fingers during removal.


I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of First Mate and a top of Seche Vite.

BAM, hello.

I love the blue of the sky in this picture with the blue of the polish.  Lovely.

And finally, a shade picture - you can really see how lovely it is... and how reflective!  This would be a great base for some Konad or nail art for sure.

China Glaze Ahoy!

This color is not a fun one to photograph, but super fun to wear!  From the Anchor's Away collection, China Glaze Ahoy! is a raspberry red with a glass fleck pink/gold particles in it.  Lovely!  I'm actually wearing it as a pedicure right now.


I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Ahoy! and a top of Seche Vite.  Despite the above picture, it is definitely not a creme or jelly or neon.

You really can't see the glass fleck in the sun either and in case you're wondering, the index finger has a coat of China Glaze Crackle in Crushed Candy.  Reviews on that later.

Finally in the shade you can see this color's true colors - literally.  Now these pictures were taken before I had to chop off my nails, but in an effort to get better pictures of this color, I put it on again yesterday.

Feel free to click on my pictures to see them larger.  Boy, my nails look so small being nubbins.


Overall, I love the glass fleck in this polish - I love glass fleck in general... It's my second favorite finish next to holographic. ^_^
