NOTW: OPI You're Such a BudaPest and Essie Penny Talk

Hello!

It's still so cold in Toronto right now.  Today was daylight savings day, so I lost an hour.  It is a busy time of year for work, so this less 1hr business is really rough.

Anyway, I wanted to share what I wore for my nails last week.  I didn't realize how spring this look was until after I was done.  I really like it.  The spring look was a welcome change from the cold/snow outside.

I used three coats of OPI You're Such a BudaPest.  I really love this colour but I definitely need 3 coats and I have to be careful when I apply the topcoat because somehow I always take off a bit from the cuticle when I'm applying the topcoat.  I even waited for the polish to dry because I know this happens.  It didn't chip on the 6th day of wear, so I'm overall very happy about it.

Then I added a stamp from BM-205 with the butterfly to my middle and ring finger with Essie Penny Talk.  


I used the image on the top left.

NOTW: Illamasqua Raindrops and OPI Skull & Glossbones

Hello!

I have a quick Nail of the Week to share with you.  I really love Illamasqua's Raindrops but I rarely put it on since it takes about 3 coats to get good coverage and it takes a bit for it to dry when it's that many coats.  So I used OPI Skull & Glossbones as my base colour and then I painted Illamasqua's Raindrops.  

I really like this combination together because it doesn't make it as patchy as I get sometimes when I just use Raindrops.  Overall, really happy with this layering.


Have a wonderful week!
