I absolutely love this combination! I am beginning to have some tipwear today, as you can see, but I think that may be partly due to applying so many more coats of polish than usual...shrinkage much?
In other news, last night I had the pleasure of receiving a lovely little package from Inga of The Original Swedish Blonde! She had a giveaway for a bracelet she made a while back, and I was lucky enough to win it - when I emailed Inga to tell her I'd received the bracelet and that she would be seeing it on here, she replied that she was glad I liked it, but that it wasn't "Inga's accessories blog." However, I love the bracelet so much that I want to show it off anyway! :)

the bracelet spread out on my desk
the bracelet on me!
Isn't it great? I'm wearing it right now, and I love the little jingling sound it makes when I type...boy am I silly. :) I hope you all have a great day, and thanks for reading! I hope to be able to post tomorrow, but if you don't see anything don't worry; I will be very busy!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that mani! And beautiful bracelet...have fun tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love the glitter (cough cough glitter that's my word, ignorant girl here ha ha ha) on the red polish. You made it from a daytime professional look (corporate look) to a fabulous party look. Awesome...creative!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now...oh I feel so embarrassed....blushing like you're nail polish. You're so sweet. :) It feels so strange having someone wear something I've made. "weird feeling" Sure I've made things for people before..but have it flashed all over their blog. I feel humbled!
Glad you like it. Made my day!
Love,
Inga
COOL bracelet!!! <3
ReplyDeleteAurora's Nails- Thanks! And I will try to have fun, haha. :)
ReplyDeleteInga- Well, you made my day, so I'm glad to have made yours! Have a great one!
BlushingNoir- Thanks, I think so too! :)
I really like the matte effect, I haven't played with a mattifier yet. The bracelet is pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI had my first day of school today..what grade are you going to into? I really like the hidden treasure combo, I haven't tried it over a red yet.
ReplyDeleteZara, everytime I come to your blog, all I see is HIDDEN TREASURE!!! it's not fair!! I want it! probably my biggest lemming now (I bought mad as a hatter from ebay!)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with college visits! where do you want to go? and what do you want to study?
Your mani looks gorgeous! I want to go home and try it!
ReplyDeleteThe braclet is adorable!

Freshie- Oh, I love my matte top coat! I don't use it much over cremes, but I love it with glitters.
ReplyDeleteSerena- Wow, you start early! I'm going to be a senior...which I can hardly believe. :)
Smita- Sorry!! It probably won't make as many appearances after a while. I am just in the honeymoon phase right now. ;) I hope you find it! I don't know where I want to go to college...I'm visiting Saint Louis University and Washington University in St. Louis tomorrow, and WashU is one of my top two or three. I have no idea what I want to study though.
Alexisaurus- Thanks! I love playing with Hidden Treasure. :)
Lovely bracelet, and HT looks fantastic over RMFC! Which colleges are you planning to visit? I remember that as such an exciting time. :D
ReplyDeletestellaincognita- Thanks! I'm visiting Saint Louis University and Washington University in St. Louis tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGreat mani!
ReplyDeleteI want Sally Hansen - Hidden Treasure soooo bad! Love the mani ;)
ReplyDeleteKarenD- Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLois- I hope you get it...I would love for Sally Hansen to make it permanent so everyone who wants it can get it. Also, I love your icon! :)
Absolutely adore the smoldering mani! Hidden Treasure is now officially a lemming of mine. :O
ReplyDeleteI hope your college visits went well and that your senior has a great start. I visited Washington University too when I was college-hunting...such gorgeous buildings on that campus. :)
Pam- Thanks! I hope you find HT. My college visits went very well...and yes, WashU is beautiful. :)
