Make Like a Tree

Whew. Day two of 14 hour work days is done. I've worked 28 hours in the last 2 days. That's a lot, in case you were wondering. :-D I learned a lot of great stuff today, and my trainer is awesome though, so I'm stoked.

Yesterday's glitter manicure was surprisingly easy to remove, I used the cotton ball/tin foil technique, and it softened it enough that it mostly came off in one thick sheet. Today's manicure utilizes one of the new American Apparel polishes, I bought the rest of the collection after work yesterday. (I had a Groupon for $50 worth of American Apparel for $25! :)) I totally dig this color, it reminds me of split pea soup, and is very nearly a one-coater!

I used American Apparel MacArthur Park as a base, with American Apparel Hassid for the leaf lines. Topped it all off with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Bedtime.

ButterLONDON Sale at Hautelook!

I'm a fairly recent ButterLONDON convert, actually my first polishes from them were purchased during a sale at Hautelook.com! Today they're having another sale!! There isn't a huge selection, but the polishes are only $5, vs $14! That's a great deal in anyone's book. :-D

I might just pick up another Minger. I love that color!

They also have some roller scents on sale!

OPI DS Extravagance Funky French & a Gradual Mani

If you don't know by now, I LOVE my funky french manis, and black tips, lol. For this one, I wanted to use one of my all time fave polishes, OPI DS Extravagance. I first did a base color of Sinful's Black on Black, then 1 coat of the OPI. I added a coat of SV and gave it about 6-8 minutes to dry. Then I taped off my tips, and painted them black. The 'Gradual Mani' follows this one.

Well.....Im not to sure what to say about this, lol. I had this vision in my head of a Gradual Mani, and I'm quit fond of it. I just used the same colors as before. Can you see my vision, or am I all alone, lol
