My Private Jet

Hello everyone today I have for you O.P.I.'s My Private Jet..My sister gave me this one because she didn't like it on herself..^_^ YAY for me because I love it!..(there are so many different versions of MPJ) Mine happens to be Brown with a gold hint when you turn it a certain way (as you can see on the bottle) and Holographic glitter! Now I took the bottle poured a bit into an empty bottle and mixed in a bit of SpectraFlair and viola (Ring finger is SF MPJ....I really should add a bit more of both because it needs a bit more BANG to me) I really like this which surprises me since I'm not sold on brown polishes usually (I think I own 3 at the most out of all my polishes >.>). Anyway here are the pictures!

So that is My Private Jet...A brown that I'm actually in love with! I actually have worn this twice since I got it from Anne :D Such a pretty color!

Did you ever have a polish color surprise you when you put it on that you thought you might hate?

Thursday Special.....Fade into the Sunset

Hey everybody! Today I have a gradient mani for y'all:) I'm in love with these manis and love doing them for y'all:) For this mani I used all China Glaze .... Sun Worshiper, Pool Party, Flying Dragon, Frost Bite, and Fairy Dust on top. These are super easy to do they just take a little time...I will say blending is a must. Now I have seen people use a triangular make-up sponge to do gradient manis and they come out great, I guess I don't do that right cause it never works for me. I blend everything with a tiny sponge ( tiny!!), takes a little longer but it works for me:) Here are the great pictures!!!

So what do y'all think of all these gradient mani people are doing....are they worth the time or just really pretty to look at???

P.S. Have you entered our giveaway??? Here is the link....HERE:) *CLOSED*
Happy Polishing Everyone!

The Perfect Red with Stars!

Today I have for you all something a little simple! I really liked this look! I found the stars with my sticker stash in a long strip and decided to cut them up to fit my fingers! My base color is Sally Hansen Cardinal which is such a lovely RED..I believe I told a few of my friends that happen to love red that I probably haven't worn red in a year or more on my finger nails @_@ wow I might have to dig through my stash and see what reds I have to wear!

Simple Manicure but very nice! I really am happy how this turned out!

Are you going for simple or difficult...flashy or subtle for the 4th of July?
