Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Brand
Are you serious? This week's Twinsie Tueday challenge: our favorite brand. Out of the 387598357984 many brands we are to only choose one brand? That is just madness!
Incase you didn't already know, my favorite favorite brand is OPI. OPI is probably is the brand that I own most of. I love OPI.
At first I couldn't make up my mind. After some long time thinking, I concluded that OPI is certainly my favorite. They have many different colors and a variety of finishes. They're easily accessible and not too expensive. They hold up for a long time and have awesome color pay off. Fortunately today I won't be doing any OPI's. I wanted to share with you a brand that I have been loving lately!

1 Coat
2 Coats
I have been loving Jessica Custom Colours lately. Look at that 1 coat beauty above. Just 1 smooth coat and that was the opacity that it gave me. I was so impressed and wanted to leave it but wanted to show you the full coverage with 2 coats. But honestly, you could get away with just 1 coat. How lovely is that?
This is Only In Venice and it is the truest orange ever. It does lean a bit to be like almost a neon orange but I am really loving this!
Do you have any Jessicas? Whats your favorite brand?

coral, iridescent, orange, shimmer, zoya
Gwin
I had a wonderful weekend and I really hope that all of you wonderful lovelies did as well!
I have got something awesome for you today, er, well, I think this is pretty awesome.
Zoya Gwin was super smooth and applied very easily. This was 2 very awesome opaque coats. Gwin was released in 2010 and is a coral'ish-orange with a very strong golden yellow'ish iridescent shimmer. Sometimes you can even see a green shimmer peeking through.
This was very hard to photograph for some reason. I hate when that happens, as I'm sure we all do. But hopefully you get the point. The iridescent shimmer is much more visible in real life. This color is like the unnamed coral-ly orange of the year except with a shimmer in it.
The only thing that I can really complain about it that in the picture with the flash, you can see the brush strokes. And anything with brush strokes annoys me! However, I am willing to let that go for the beautiful outcome considering since the brush strokes aren't noticeable. I really love this. It's so juicy looking for summer!
What do you think?

Ginger Bells
Totally not Spring or Summer appropriate, but I could care less because I love this one!
I recently purchased OPI Ginger Bells from a blog sale. I have heard so many wonderful and beautiful things about this! Once I saw it, I hopped on it like a bunny in the night on the street! (I'm imagining that you see yourself driving and see bunnies hopping all over the street because your headlights are blinding and scaring!)
This beautiful creme-y pumpkin pie look a like dusty orange took 1 coat. I should've done 2 coats but I was in awe of the coverage in 1 coat. Amazing much?! I'm not sure when this one was released but I know that it was sometime during the holiday. Isn't it lovely? Not for Spring or summer, none the less it's gorgeous!
What are some of your favorite oranges? (Besides "Color Of The Year")

Stripes and Splatters
I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!
This is my first time trying out the whole "splatters" trend. It's sort of messed up. But practice make perfect! I have waited for this long because of the awful stories I hear about the cuticles being flooded. And let me tell you, I prob won't be doing anything like this for a long time.
I wish I would've put less of the green and white splatters because it flooded the pink and orange stripes which I really loved. I also wish I would've picked different colors for the splatters because it really blended in with the pink and orange. I feel like there's no stand out color although I am enjoying it. But yes, the cuticle flood and clean up was a pain in the anal. Not cool.
What do you think? Have you tried splattered effect yet?

Twinsie Tuesday: Skittles Mani
Hello good afternoon!
It's finally Tuesday and you know what that means! Twinsie Tuesday! This weeks challenge was to creat a skittle man.
Ok. So I literally decided to put skittles on my nails.
Ha. I sort of like it. It's fun and cute. Hopefully this makes the cute. For this mani, I used Ulta Non-Stop Red, Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, Ulta Sun-sational and lastly Orly Lucky Duck. For all fingers, I used 2 coats. After I finished the mani, I wished that I would've put a background to it. Like maybe, blue. Sort of disappointed however I am still enjoying it!
Tell me what you think! Or what you think of skittles mani!
Anna
PS - Sorry, I'm a little late.
