Lazy day

This is 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Blue Streak.  I love the Insta Dri polishes and I wish there was better variety.  The brushes are great and they really do dry fast.  This colour is slightly more green than the photo.

I had no clue what I was going to do for this mani so while I was browsing my stash I found the perfect matching glitter and decided to do an accent nail.  I added a coat of LA Colors in Treasure Island on the ring finger.  It really is a perfect match.  I love glitter but really hate the removal so I think this is the best solution for me.  I was too lazy to flip through all my plates so I just reused the plate from my previous mani - BM03 and stamped a little heart on each nail with Sally Hansen White On.  Probably not the best colour choice but like I said, I was feeling lazy that day.  And as it turns out I really didn't mind this mani at all.

Stamping with Carbonite

This is 2 coats of OPI's Stranger Tides.  I found this one in a clearance basket a few weeks ago.  This is one reason why I usually refuse to buy new OPI collections when they first come out.  The shades I want always end up in the clearance bin eventually.  It's awesome that I love the unpopular colours!

Sorry this is a really shitty photo but it's a small US haul I had a few weeks ago.  I found Revlon Carbonite at Meijer but I didn't realize at the time that it's a dupe for Chanel Graphite.  It was $4 in a display on its own and I thought it looked pretty unique.  Also I'm probably the last blogger on the planet to buy Revlon's Royal.  I eye it up every time I'm out shopping but I've never seen it cheaper than $6 here in Canada.  Next up is Studio M's Sweet Dreams - I was on a hunt for purple cremes and picked up Sinful's Verbena on the far right as well.  The LA Colors polish is Aqua Crystals (glitter) found at the Dollar Tree.  Lastly, I finally found Sinful's San Francisco at Walgreens.  I've been looking for that colour forever.  Pretty small haul overall.

So as soon as I got home I broke out Revlon Carbonite because I knew the colour would look awesome with Stranger Tides.  I used plate BM207 and aligned the stripes straight across instead of diagonally as the image was intended.  I thought it was decent.  I don't mind the loud patterns when the colours are subtle.

Flakie love

This is 2 coats of LA Colors in Palm Tree.  It's definitely greener than the photos.  Not a bad polish for $2.  I didn't have time for nail art again this week so on the second day I cracked open one of my new Nfu Ohs...#40

Now this reminds me of a mermaid way more than Zoya Charla and all it's dupes.  If I'd had time for nail art I probably would have done some bubbles or maybe sea shells.  The effect really only shows when the light hits it though.  I'm happy to have these Nfu Ohs but man they are expensive at $12.50 US!  I ordered 5 of them with a Mastercard gift card I was given so they were free to me.  Flakie polishes are pretty much non-existent in Canada so I'm thrilled to have these.  They are friggen awesome!
