Mockingjay Thanksgiving

Used:
*China Glaze, Electrify (1 coat)
*Formula X, Out of Sight (1 coat)
*Julie G jet set top coat (2 coat)

So not only did Mockingjay recently come out but it's also Thanksgiving time and two colors that work well for this time are red and gold, which so happens to be the two colors in The Hunger Games China Glaze polish Electrify from last years collection. So to be in season and almost on trend I took the older polish, added another glitter and ta da. A mixed mani with two purposes!!!
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!



Perfectly Tipped

Used:
*Sally Hansen, Petal Pusher (2 coats)
*Sally Hansen, Shell we dance?  (1 coat)
*Sally Hansen, French Manicure white striper
*Orly, Twilight 

I have horribly stained nails, I don't know how I manage it but every time I get them nice and healthy I ruin it again by staining them. So since half my nail bed is still yellow and I really wanted to do a french tip I had to be a little creative and use a base color to make it work how I wanted to.
I also used my favorite glitter, Twilight, to add a light dusting to the look which I love!!!
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!





Teal and Gold

Used:
*Sinful Shine, At Sea (2 coats)
*Wet n Wild, unknown mini (gold glitter)
*Julie G jet set top coat (1 coat)

This was not only a review on a new product but also a look that I wore for at least a week. I love putting gold and teal together, they work so well together in my eyes. So this was perfect. The teal popped and the formula of this polish was amazing. It has an odd smell to it that most polishes don't have, though that might be because of the gel technology to it. The consistency of the formula was awesome, the dry time was decent and the shine afterward was pretty awesome. I added the top coat a day or two after because sadly the shine doesn't last all that long and the tip wear without a top coat gets to be obvious after a day or two. 
I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!






Graffiti

Used:
*Milani, Raving Violet (2 coats)
*OPI, Push and Shove (dry brushed)

This was my attempt for a Halloween mani this year. I don't like doing obvious looks because they just aren't something I would like to wear on a regular day basis.
