Perfect Chic #310

Just a little post today. Starting the blog up again after a month off has proven harder than anticipated, what with work and everything :/ Blargh. Let's not talk about my *&^% day job, shall we?

So anyway, here's another one of the gorgeous polishes Inbal sent me as part of the Xmas Bloggers Exchange - a beautiful glossy cranberry creme...


Unfortunately there was no sun today, so no photos in that light, sorry. But this was two coats and one of Poshe. Very easy application.


This is actually the second time I've worn this, and for some reason this time it was quite chippy. Maybe it didn't like the base coat I was using or something - weird...

But in any case, true to it's name it was Perfect the first time I tried it! :)


Thanks so much Inbal - I love it!!

Blue Gradient Nails and poor Cup

Hello Dear Readers!
I recently purchased a set of brushes for painting on the nails, but it also have some larger brushes. One of those days, i saw my coffee mug - my poor old coffee mug, and i decided to give it a try and paint it with my bigger brushes. I liked the result, but this is my husband who was truly amazed and he kept complimented my work .I swear, i nether been able to draw even straight line , until recently, and now i am getting more and more into the painting stuff.
So please let me think how do you like the mug-work?
I also how some blue nails for you today.
I used Essie shelter island polish to create a base gradient - nice polish and i am really happy with the gradation look. I did not use sponge - just painted the layers of the polish.
May be this is not the best execution, but i really love the color combination in this manicure, and i ll probably remake it on the longer nails.
