Well hello other yellow I own...figures you'd turn up in Hubby's Picks (HP12)

I own precisely two yellows. You've seen one in many nail arts since it's nice and pigmented and just a good, medium all purpose yellow. This one I forgot about. It was the first yellow I owned and it was a, "I'm a new addict who has to have some of every color in her collection" purchase. Lesson learned.

 

Just as a refresher the choices this week. An array of interesting for sure *narrowed eyes*

This is what I pulled off...and I somehow like this yellow suddenly although it takes FOUR coats to full opacity. SHEESH!

Ooooh ahhhhh....see how I tied the colors together using Color Club Nouveau Vintage there? (Like a boss).

I'm still getting a handle on my striping brushes. I read on another blog (which escapes memory at the moment!) that laying the brush on the nail and then moving your finger creates a nice, straight line. Only problem is when you are working with cheap, sheer polishes (thanks hubby!).

I have another manicure coming up soon for the 5K I'm running this weekend! Have a great day everyone <3

It's Hubby's Picks time...and a daughter AND son manicure ;)

That's right my son did a manicure! But it's not what you think *giggles* First I did baby girl's nails and anytime I pull out the polish all the kids get excited including both the 7 and 6 year-old boys. I bought my darling little girl Essence You Are Mine and she got some nail stickers from the tooth fairy. She's so good at this though and asked for a pattern and topped off every other nail with Essence Purplicious:

How cute are these?? She won't sit still long enough for clean up and I was lucky to get these shots. She also insisted that I take a picture of her and my hands together:

This inspired the oldest boy to do his nails:

He pulled the stickers of his workbook and made his own nail decals! We stopped painting the nails on the older boys last year since the schools don't allow it, but he's always watching me do my nails and asking if his can be done. Clever kid *proud moment*.

Last but not least is the Hubby's Picks lineup for this week. He went with Wet N' Wild Bite the Bullet, Color Club Nouveau Vintge, Sally Hansen HD mini DVD (I think! They don't put names on minis much to my dismay), and Wet N' Wild Collecting Pollen. Hrmmm....what will I come up with this week.....

Halloween Manicure

So this did not turn out how I was hoping. I need to find a good black stamping polish :(

Base should be familiar - it's the Color Club Nouveau Vintage. I don't own any dotting tools (rumor has it my birthday will be changing that!!!) So the moons are uneven :(. My tips are cool - that's French Tip Dip Kit available here. Use coupon code boo for 30% off after you register. I'll be doing a whole post on this amazing little kit soon!

I like how the thumb turned out though.

 This is Rebel Spirit - so dark that it's nearly black with two coats which is somewhat of a shame. On the tips it great though!

In closing Happy Halloween everyone!

Color Club Nouveau Vintage and the base to my halloween mani

So I showed that I had one of the Back to Boho Color Club collections last week - here's the one I wanted to try the most: Nouveau Vintage

Sorry about the lack of clean-up. Like my title says this is the base for my halloween manicure so I hadn't done cleanup yet.

How do I even describe this? Well not like my helpful hubby who deemed it, "Robot turd" - wow right? It has a vampy berry base with green and gold flecks that results in this amazing finish. It's so unique and stunning. It's not at all what I thought it'd be. I just adore this! The PERFECT Fall nail polish :)

The most I look at the color the most in love I fall. It has a stunning color, paints nicely (this is three coats, but that's forgivable). Such a wonderful win!

My kiddos all agree too - my sons really want me to paint this one them ;)
