The other thing I did this weekend

I got to go hang out with Liesl from Liesl Loves Pretty Things! We hit up The French Press for amazing coffees in pool sized mugs *dreamy look*, then headed to Ulta in hopes of finding the spring Zoya collections. Sadly they weren't in so we opted for the OPI mini collection which she has been posting over on her blog (go take a peek!). THEN she told me she had to be over at PetSmart at 2 so, naturally curious, I asked her what she needed to be over there for. She graciously donates her time to spend with some feline fur babies playing, feeding, and cleaning their cages. Doesn't she just have the sweetest heart? I got to stay and play with the babies for awhile before heading on my way promising it wouldn't be so long to the next visit.

Natually seeing another blogger brings up the dilemma of nails. So, inspired by my pretty top, I came up with these using both tape and stamping:
Base is Butter London Bluey which is terribly thin and patchy up to three coats and even then it's not fully opaque:
But it's an intensely amazing color and worth the build time.
These were kind of complex but well worth the time. The black accents are done in Essie Licorice. She totally brought it with gorgeous nails done in silver sponged tips! Loved them and my time out and about with her.
