No Hard Feelings

Hey Y'all! I finally did my Valentine's Day look for this year. I found a really gorgeous color by Sally Hansen called No Hard Feelings and that is close to my favorite shades of Lilac. I decided to pair that with silver as I have some crackle polishes by Cherimoya that are very close to those same colors. I've never worn crackle polish myself so I wanted to give it a try.

I did each hand opposite each other which means that each finger is different. LOL! Is it too much?! Here is the final look! I hope you like it.

Lynnderella Connect the Dots + Ruby Kisses Schoolgirl Blue + Absolute! Light Blue

October 25, 2011

The above and below photos show Ruby Kisses Schoolgirl Blue on all nails except the ring finger. This polish was a nice surprise because it had somewhat of a jelly finish (I think. I am still debating on that). The ring finger is Absolute! Light Blue. These polishes are new additions to my collection--sent in a surprise polish swap with Andrea from Addicted to the Allure of Beauty!

Then I decided to play with my new bottle of Lynnderella Connect the Dots!  This is a close up of the bottle!

The below photo shows ONE coat of Lynderella Connect the Dots!

The below photo shows TWO coats of Lynnderella Connect the Dots. Can you see the shimmer in it?

The below photo is THREE coats of Lynnderella Connect the Dots. 

Because Ruby Kisses Schoolgirl Blue had somewhat of a jelly finish, I decided to add one coat on top of the three coats of Lynnderella Connect the Dots. I think this Lynderella polish would make an awesome jelly sandwich nail design (with the right jelly polish). 

I messed up the ring finger by adding another coat of Absolute! Light Blue (because it is not a jelly polish) over the three coats of Connect the dots. Oh well. I still think it looks awesome as a jelly sandwich. If I would have known Schoolgirl Blue was a jelly polish, I would have placed that on all nails and skipped the Absolute! Light Blue.

OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With It + Ruby Kisses Ruby Slippers

October 24, 2011

This is one of those manicures I never wanted to remove. It was so gorgeous! I started out with two coats of  Ruby Kisses Ruby Slippers. If I had planned on wearing this alone, I would have added a third coat. I purchased this for around $1. This was a surprising polish. It has a red jelly base with red and silver glitter. 

On top of Ruby Kisses  Ruby Slippers, I added two coats of OPI Gettin' Miss Piggy With it. This polish is from the OPI Muppets Collection. I love how the red glitter pops and it has the occasional speck of silver glitter. I am glad OPI didn't over do the silver glitter in this polish. I am excited to wear the rest of the OPI Muppets collection! 

These two photos were taken by my husband!

Introduction and 4th of July manicures!

Hello, everybody.
This is Ashley. We wanted to let everybody know a little bit about us and why we started a nail polish blog before we continued with the posts. I'm 21 and work at the Tulsa City-County Library.
I've always enjoyed wearing nail polish and a few months ago I started making my older sister (April) wear it. April never thought she'd wear anything other than conservative colors. Now she wants the craziest nail polish available!
We also wanted to tell you about our new business. We recently started 4BrooksDesign, making beautiful decorative concrete. Check out some of our stuff at www.facebook.com/4BrooksDesign.
Here's a picture of a concrete cakestand!


Here are our 4th of July Manicures.

This is April's. She used OPI Blue My Mind with stripes of China Glaze Raspberry Festival and L.A. Girl's Silver Nail Art Brush.

I used China Glaze For Audrey as a base, and on my striped nails Sally Hansen's Vanilla Bean, China Glaze For Audrey, Ruby Kisses' Caribbean Blue and OPI Red
