Hubby's Picks 18: Glorious Glitter Gradient

This is DAYS late but it's been pure crazy around here (you know, like it NEVER is) AND I got sick in the middle of it all :( Today is mega catch up but before I do that I give you hubby's picks which turned out so pretty!

The base color is Orly Emberstone. It was a Fall release last year and I went "meh" at them and totally missed out so now I, of course, have fallen in love with the line and am trying to collect them. Isn't that just how it goes?

Ooooooh pretty! I could not stop staring at my pretty nails. Layered up we have LA Girl Glitter Addict Nostalgic. I brushed most of the large hexes up to the tip. Midway up that is Sassy Lacquer in Yeti, Yeti, Yeti. The tip is Color Club Orna-minted.

Ok off to catch up and hopefully beat this bug. Wish me the best!

Sorry about disappearing - have a mani to make up?

We went to my father in law's for the weekend. It was a TERRIBLE trip. I know I haven't posted and that's because my laptop bit the dust taking my mani folder with it, and our desktop can't read SD cards. Sooo I've been scrambling to try to figure it all out and came up with a solution today thankfully.

So I've been curious about the Essence Crackle and decided this weekend was the time to buy it! Hubby has been mentioning that he doesn't see me do crackle much anymore so we fixed that. Look at the blue shimmer in it! The formula is AMAZING but the dry time is meh. HOWEVER I would totally pick this over a Sally Hansen crackle anytime. The price is awesome (2.49 at my store).

I decided to toss some stamping and rhinestones in there for a bold but pretty mani. I love doing this combination because it makes for a "quick" nail art manicure.

The base color is Orly Emberstone which is a glass flecked red/orange beauty. The crackle is Essence Crack Me! Blue and I stamped with China Glaze First Mate.

I'm going to start delving into some more color swatching and comparison posts, but plan to stay true to my love of nail art. Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
