SWEET VALENTINE HEART

Electric Leopard

Day 101

So for today, since it's still doom & gloom here in Las Vegas (we've gotten more rain -1.69" this week than we did ALL LAST YEAR!!!!), I wanted to do something über-bright and fun, so I dug out a design I did before I started the blog- apparently August 7th.. :-P August 7th. I like this design, and the brightness of the hot pink doesn't even begin to show in the photo, it's positively retina-searing. (which, in my book, is a good thing)



I used Sally Girl Way Cool as a base, with China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and China Glaze Liquid Leather for the spots and tips. :-P Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat. :-)

Snow-capped mountains, not really what you think of when you think of the Las Vegas Strip, eh?

OPI - Yoga-ta Get this Blue!

Hi everyone! Today I've got something blue for you. I'm really into blues lately, I just think it's such a fun color to wear :-). This one is called Yoga-ta Get This Blue and it's by OPI. As you probably already can tell, I'm a big OPI fan. This one belongs to the 2008 India Collection.

I think it's a lovely rich color, not too light and not almost black like a lot of dark-blues out there. The almost turquoise shimmer is really visible, which makes it really fun to look at. I must admit that there are many blues like this one, so for me it's not that special, just very likeable :-). Unfortunately it took 3 coats for it to be opaque, but other than that, the formula was fine.

I know there a lot of blues out there right now, what's your favorite?

Applicatie was deze keer iets minder dan bij de andere twee. De eerste laag was behoorlijk streperig en dun maar met de tweede laag was het al aardig egaal en na de derde laag ziet het er prima uit. Niet dat drie laagjes slecht is hoor want omdat ik zulke dunne laagjes lak heb ik er meestal drie nodig.

Het kwastje is hetzelfde als die van Ravager, goed, maar ik zie ze liever wat korter en breder.


English: Application was a bit more troublesome than with the other two. The first coat was pretty thin and streaky but the second coat evened that out and after the third coat it looks great. Not that three coats is bad by any means because I do very thin coats so I usually need three. The brush is the same as Ravager, good, but I prefer them shorter and wider.
