Orly Prelude to a Kiss & butter LONDON Tart with a Heart

Here is one of my favorite combinations to date!!! Orly Prelude to a Kiss with butter LONDON Tart with a Heart. I love the look of this manicure. Tart with a Heart is a great glitter topper that adds flair to a seemingly boring creme polish. Enjoy!

I topped off this manicure with a coat of Gelous and Seche Vite.

I'm here! A neutral glitter fest for you, my dears!

*waves awkwardly*

Hello! Sorry for my absence from the blogosphere... Graduate work is difficult, and I started a new job, so things have started to get consistent. Hopefully, my posts will reflect that consistency!

So, here we are with a pretty snazzy neutral glitter. I used Rimmel Pink Bliss as my color with butter LONDON's Tart With A Heart as a glitter overcoat. I thought the result was pretty nice, myself. Check it out!

Tart With A Heart is more holo in person. It's difficult to capture on camera!!!! 

The furbaby, Chloe! 

As you can see, Pink Bliss left me with a little VNL (visible nail line), but adding Tart With A Heart made the VNL a little less noticeable.

Ugly Manicure

Okay, I think this is ugly. Mainly because of the colors. What I envisioned in my head as to what my nails would look like was a HUGE disappointment. I didn't even bother to edit the pictures too much because I think it's so ugly. Haha. I formulated this idea in my head because of my beloved Florida State Seminoles doing well in the ACC Basketball Tournament. Good thing my team looked better than my nails!

Here are some pictures, I shall say no more...

Oh, yes, I need to say more. This is pic heavy, so please read more after the jump! And thanks Google support for having the answer to how one makes a jump link in Blogger! <3

Day 10: Gradient

As I said in the Day 9 Rainbow post, I recently bought butter LONDON's No More Waity, Katie and I knew I had to do the gradient based on this polish.

Here are the pictures!

So, I won't lie. The first time I saw this polish, I just wanted my piece of the Royal Wedding. Is that shameful? Haha. This was also my birthday mani. February's birthstone is amethyst, which is purple. I also wasn't feeling very flashy on my birthday, so I went for something a little more subtle. I love this polish. As you can see by the pictures, I had some slight application issues. I blame my impatience, however; my right hand looked fine.

I might try No More Waity, Katie with different base and top coats next time. My gradient accent nail held up awesome in comparison to the butter LONDONs.

Let's see... Next is Day 11 which is... *drum roll*... polka dots. Or, as I like to say, polka spots.

Currently, I'm not wearing any polish. I removed my polish last night. Today, I filed them down real good and oiled them up! The oil has already absorbed, so I'm going to oil back up, and check out some other blogs. I need some inspiration for the polka spots! :) Have a good day everyone!
