NYC Sandwich

Hi there,


Today I'm bringing you a sandwich mani that I did since OPI released the NYC Ballet collection. I came up with this mani, in an attempt to find a dupe, and save some money. I seem to be doing that a lot. :o/ I'm trying to save some pennies for a massive blowout on holiday. 


Trying to keep cost to a minimum, I used polishes which I already have. I went through my stash, and found a silver glitter polish from L.A colors. I realised I have a a lot of glitter polishes which all look similar, but still feel the need to buy more, when I see them in the shop. 


I started with the NYC then added the silver glitter polish, then added 2 coats of NYC again.


Overall, I think it turned out ok, and keeps me happy for now, so don't need to splurge on the OPI's Barre My Soul & Pirouette My Whistle.




NYC: 1 coat
L.A Colors Silver Glitter: 1 coat
NYC : 2 coats

I hope you all enjoyed, and hopefully see you guys soon.

Birthday Mani

Hi there,




Sorry for the absence. Life has been pretty hectic recently. So mush is going on with work and studies.



It was my birthday last week, and thought I'd use some of my favourite polishes, for a gradient and stamping mani.

I started off with BK 10, then sponged on Ellen Golds Cinzo Chumbo & BK 20 on the tips. Using a black polish to stamp I used the zebra print on Konad M57. I just stamped the tips, as didn't want to hide too much of the holo effect.
