Not So Blue Mani

Do I have a comeback mani for you!! I was inspired by a nail artist named Chelsea. Chelsea is the blog owner of Get Nailed, and boy is she creative!! I followed one of her videos on YouTube to create this look.

The colors I used are Sephora by OPI Slushied and OPI My Boyfriend Scaled the Walls. For the glitter I  did it a bit different then the way Chelsea uses them, I just used loose hex glitter I bought from Nail Envy.

I hope you love this mani as much as I did, because another variation is coming your way very soon!!

Deborah Lippmann Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams is part of Deborah Lippmann's Spring 2012 line. It is a gorgeous pink/fuchsia jelly packed flakie nail polish. The flakies are a gold to orange shift.

Here I have one coat layered over Sephora by OPI It's My Pink scented nail polish. Even after I layered this, I could still smell the scent!

Sweet Dreams was such a breeze to apply and it really is dreamy with a smooth shiny finish!

 A little quick and dirty swatch to show the density of the flakies.

This next picture is the most color accurate.

 Deborah Lippmann Sweet Dreams retails for $18 but I was able to purchase it from HSN for $16 when it went on sale. I don't see it yet on the Deborah Lippmann website, but I am sure it will come soon. You can also "LIKE" Deborah Lippmann on Facebook for updates as well as follow her on Twitter!

 I figured that since I had a Betsey Johnson exclusive as my base that I could do no wrong by stamping a few roses on top of this mani!

Even though flakies have been released a lot lately, you really can not go wrong with this DL color! The pink/fuchsia jelly is just gorgeous and the added flakie is the icing on the cake!

Sephora by OPI It's My Pink

It's My Pink is a Betsey Johnson exclusive Sephora by OPI nail polish. It's My Pink is a lovely scented nail polish that smells like Betsey Johnson's very own Too Too signature scent. The scent isn't that overbearing, but it is very nice, not too strong.

The color is a gorgeous bright pink nail polish. It's borderline jelly and creme.

The last photo, above, is the most color accurate, in my opinion. I did use three coats and you can still see a little bit of nail line. I did not use a topcoat on this because I am adding something to it, but the finish is super shiny! Overall, this color is totally me and I can never have enough pinks, let alone a scented one!

It's My Pink is LIMITED EDITION and is exclusively sold at Sephora. It can be found on their website or in stores. The bottle retails for $9.50 USD for 15mL.

Sephora by OPI Slushied

With all of these press releases coming out about the up and coming fall collections I've been seeing too many dark colors lately. I really wanted to pick a color that screams SUMMER!!

What better color to show off summer than a cool blue. This mani is 2 coats of Sephora by OPI's Slushied from the Glee collection. The accent nails are Nail Junkie by Sinful Colors.
