Finger Paints-Easel Come, Easel Go! & Essie-Shine of the Times

Good, early morning! I know that it is barely Tuesday but I am going to do my post for today now, before I hit the hay, because I'll be heading up to Minneapolis in the morning. For this manicure I used two different colors and here they are...

The first of the two is from Finger Paints and it is called Easel Come. Easel Go! and the second is Essie's Shine of the Times. Easel Come, Easel Go! is a super shiny, shimmery silver. Seriously, this color is bright! Shine of the Times I got to hold me over until China Glaze's Luxe and Lush came out and I ended up liking the color more than I had anticipated ((but it's no Luxe and Lush)). 

Here I have two coats of Easel Come. Easel Go! and one coat of Shine of the Times. The silver alone was just too much for me, too bright, too shiny, and super distracting when I was driving and the sun would shine down onto my nails. Ha, for real. So to tone it down a notch but still keep a decent amount of shimmer Shine of the Times did the trick! 

I know that both these pictures are a little blurry, but here is a more blurry picture to show the small flake glitter chunks from Shine of the Times. 

Sinful Colors-Winterberry & Finger Paints-Purple Palette

Hey Guys! Today I finally have some pictures that are better quality! Yay! Anyway, I know that a lot of other nail polish blogs do a lot of super cool, super fancy nail art and such...well I am just not that talented. Someday I hope to get into nail stamping but just haven't gotten around to it yet. This manicure is one that I consider "fancy" even though I just used a sponge to add some glitter.

Here are the colors I used

The first polish is Finger Paints-Purple Palette. This polish is a really nice, deep purple glitter with a purple base color. It goes on easily but is a pain to remove. The second color is Sinful Colors-Winterberry. I just recently got this color and really liked the subtle shimmer it has.

Here is the manicure! I thought it turned out nicely. It was really easy to get this look. Here I have two coats of Winterberry, I let that dry and then I sponged on the Purple Palette to get a French Mani type look.

Also, these pictures show the current length of my nails. They are a lot shorter than the previous two posts but I like this length and ((knock on wood)) I haven't had a break since I filed them down.

I know it seems like I have an odd obsession with Sinful Colors nail polish but that's not the case. Though I do like it because for the most part it is a good formula and it is only $1.99 per bottle. For my next post I'll be sure to use a different brand of polish.
