MS awareness Mani and Saint Patrick Mani

This one is a doozy....its actually 2 manis in one post. This past week I did two very special manis. One was an orange mani for MS awareness and the other was a festive glittery mani for Saint Patricks day :)

 

I like them both :) lets start off with the orange mani..

When one of my friends on facebook talked about doing orange manis for MS awwareness I immediately agreed... also orange is the color for Kidney Cancer awareness so I felt that this was really meaningful.

For the orange I immediatley gravitated to OPI's Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? and it was perfect! Juicy jelly and gorgeously opaque-ish in 3 coats...for the accent fingers I chose Maya Cosmetics- Like A Boss which is a nude-y peach but has a subtle holo-ness to it..

I thought the orange was lacking a little something so I ended up topping it with Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat in both the silver and the gold... I love the subtle-ness of it but the glittery holo is still noticeable.

 

Then it was Saint Patrick's day and I totally wracked my brain for a suitable mani. I knew I wanted to do green obviously but I didn't want to go dark green...I wanted to go pastel :) So I used 2 coats of Zoya's Neely and then topped it with a layer of Lynnderella's She Lived in A Swamp. Then for the gold fingers I used Zoya's Ziv topped with Julep's Oscar and Vivien for more depth. I also used the same Nothern Lights top coat for the gold nails to give it some more oomph!

You can see the depth and some of the holo-ness of the gold :)

Some macros of the nails :) I love the complexity of the Lynnderella with the gold mix that I used..

Hope you liked these two manis as much as I did...oh and did you enter my giveaway yet? it ends in 12 days ;) Enter here

My Cheating Pumpkins...

So I know im late but the Halloween challenge this past week was to make pumpkins...

i have to confess...im not a big pumpkin fan... >.< i know... its weird.. I think its because in second grade we made pumpkin pies at school....and right before the teacher put the pie into the oven...a fly..or a bug..not sure if it was a fly but it was a tiny flying bug..flew into the pie..and no one sai anything and then the teacher baked the pie...O__O needless to say i was spooked and i havent had fond feelings about pumpkin ever since.... *shudders* anyways...I cheated on this mani because I was still stuck in my Jelly sammie phase and well...the colors are pretty ;]

 

See...I think the colors are so pretty....but its a cheating pumpkin ;] 

 I went to my go-to jelly sammie making white color, OPI's Dont Touch My Tutu....two thin coats...

 Then I used Sea Lore's Adella and Attina.... ugh they're so pretty i could dieeee.... >.<  lol

A thin coat of Adella for all my fingers and two coats of Attina for my ring finger..

I then put a layer of DTMT on top of all the nails except for my ring finger ;) I wanted to keep that a nice orange color for the base of my pumpkin nail ;]

 I then used the pumpkin from Bundle Monster plate BM-222 and the squiggly design from the same plate as well.. (the one thats on top of the butterfly here..but it got cut off in this picture....)

 Stamped with a random black polish....

 Voila! my cheating pumpkin is complete!! ;] I love the glitters in Adella...the gold peeks out of DTMT and it looks so pretty!!
