I need another break!

After all the work on my Willy Wonka nails, I was ready for another easy mani before I tackle "Inspired by a Book", because it's another one I'll be doing my darn hardest on for my kids. So, in between, using (again) a polish from one of my kiddos, here's the latest:

Sinful Colors Superstar topped with SillyLily New Year's Eve. Kinda reminds me of a wizards robe and conical hat. Check out the rainbow on that star on my index!

After two days, I thought it'd be interesting to see what it looked like matte. Even two coats of NYC Matte Me Crazy had a tough time covering all this shine! It seems even more like a velvety wizard's robe this way.

1/31 EDIT:  I had this on for four days before it started to chip! That's almost unheard of for me!

BFF mani

My BFF here in town, Sam, asked me to wear the silver holo polish I bought with the gift card she gave me for my bday. I was also dying to try my one and only color-shifting flakie, and it wasn't until after I combined the two polishes in one look that I remembered I'd gotten the flakie with a gift card from my other BFF, my SIL Christina in MN!

So, here's my BFF mani:
I used Color Club Worth the Risque on my index and thumb, and Revlon Colorstay Sapphire Siren topped with CG Luxe and Lush and a matte topcoat on middle, ring and pinky.

Lovely, lovely holo!

I could not stop staring at how gorgeous Luxe and Lush was through two coats of matte!
