Black and White and Blue all over

Good evening Ninja readers!

I hope you had a lovely weekend in whatever part of the world you're from. This coming weekend is Easter, I don't have any plans but I hope my lovely readers do. This week is weapons week at work which means that I get to learn sword moves!

Tonight's manicure is two smooth coats of Jessica Sophia under one monochromatic coat of Hard Candy Black Tie Optional. Sophia "True Blue" is a perfect University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill blue (aka, Carolina blue) and I foresee myself wearing it in future NCAA seasons when UNC isn't losing so early on. Sophia has a lovely silver shimmer throughout that makes it more than a plain blue cream polish. Black Tie Optional is Hard Candy's version of the currently popular Black and White glitter combinations that began in the Indie polish world. I like this polish much better than the China Glaze version as it was easier to apply and had more glitter per swipe of polish!

Beetle in the Shade/Sun

Since my artificial light pictures of Beetle really didn't do it justice, I took a few more today in the car then at the dog park.

This polish is awesome. It flashes no only purple and gold but also green and orange! Such a cool effect. I keep watching my hands as I type :)

Hard Candy Beetle

Sooo today was Valentine's Day. Since Justin and I went out for our V-day dinner last night, we just sort of hung out tonight after I went to tutoring. We did stop by Walmart though and Justin saw a Hard Candy display that he said looked like everything I would wear. I found an awesome looking polish and he bought it for me! <3

This is Hard Candy Beetle. Three coats with Seche Base and Seche QD on top. This is a multi-chrome glitter/foil? in a dark green jelly that I've read is a dupe for Orly's Space Cadet.
