Illamasqua Viridian Layering Experiment

A few days ago I did a mani with Illamasqua Viridian, as gorgeous as it is, I couldn't leave it alone! There were so many things I had in mind to layer over this gorgeous color and I couldn't choose. So that is when I decided that I am going to do Layering Experiments. 


My Layering Experiments will be about a mani that I had done, most likely a solid color, and then I will choose any where from 5-10 different colors to layer with.


Now onto the beauty!!
OPI MAAH, Clarins 230, The Color Workshop, Funky Fingers Blitzen, OPI Silver Shatter


OPI Black Shatter, OPI DS Shimmer, Funky Fingers Sand and Stilettos, The Color Workshop, Nubar 2010

 I think that all of the combinations are a possible full mani for me. The Color Workshop colors did not have any names for them. Here are some up close shots of the bottles, these are very cheap and can be found in a set at local drugstores. 

This one reminds me of CND effects.

This one is similar to Make Up Store Alma.

So what do you think? Would you like to see more of the Layering Experiments in the future? 
Which combination is your favorite?

Orly Lemonade

I've been wanting a yellow creme nail polish for quite some time now, but every time I stop to get nail polish I end up getting something from the latest collections and yellow isn't always on my mind. So one trip to Ulta I finally picked Orly Lemonade up.


Orly Lemonade is a great creamy yellow, it doesn't remind me of lemonade, and it doesn't smell like lemonade, but it sure does make me think of lemonade in the summer.


The application was a little tricky. Orly Lemonade is opaque so I had to do 4 coats.The previous day I had also received Nubar 2010 in the mail. And if you know me you know I just can't leave a mani alone, so I added this bad boy to the mix.
