Haul & NOTD: Blue Floral

Hello! Today I have my Saturday haul to share with you and my mani from yesterday with a little addition. :) After I did my first haul I got a lot of comments saying that you enjoyed these so here is another! This is probably the last bit of polish shopping I will be doing for a while, unless more Color Club sets come in to Winners. (I can't resist those.) I have over 350 polishes now and I want to start swatching and sharing them with you all.

Let's take a look at what I purchased.

Essie (L-R) Too Too Hot (2), Sew Psyched, Turquoise & Caicos
Gosh Pool Party

Sally Hansen (Insta Dry) (Top L-R, Bottom L-R)

Jump, Lightening, Snappy Sorbet, Pink Blink, Fuchsia Flare, Sonic Boom

Double Agents Top & Base Coat, Winners $5.99.

Here is my mani using the blue polish from my Simple Pleasures pack that I reviewed yesterday.

This is the most colour accurate, you can see the duskiness of it.

Sunset lighting.

Morning light. Added a sticker, but it doesn't look like one. ;)

I added two coats of SV to smooth out the stickers edge, IRL it looks like it was painted/airbrushed on - love it! That's it for today, lovelies. 

What do you think of nail stickers? Do you ever wear them?

Thanks for reading.

Teal & Flower Inspired

Hello, hello. I recently went on an OPI buying spree and picked up 17 of them in the last month. (Thank goodness for tax returns, haha.) Mind you, I did get them for $5.00 each so I don't feel *so* bad. One colour that I picked up and was really looking forward to using was "Austin-tatious Turquoise" from OPI's Texas Collection. It had been sitting on my nail polish shelf staring at me for a few days when I found this picture:

I decided I would use this picture as my inspiration for the following look.

Base colour: 2 coats of ACO "Aruba Wave"

I layered OPI "Austin-tatious Turquoise" over the "Aruba Wave" on my accent nails and I used two coats.

With Flash. I then stuck a nail sticker on top. I didn't center it perfectly (ugh) and it looks like it's coming up but it was very secure under a thick coat of SV (Seche Vite).

I didn't have much time to do this look (I was headed to work) however, I was glad to be able to use my Austin-tatious Turquoise. 

What do you think of mixing the creme finish with the shimmer finish? I kind of liked it.
