Hello Ninjas!
Sorry this isn't the usual Scent of the Day post that I do every other post. I felt a little under the weather today and wasn't really able to create anything with my little ole mind. Hopefully the next post will have a new scent and a new story for you to read. Until then, here's a very springy/summery combination I did a while back.
This is who knows how many coats of Maybelline Peach Petal with OPI Pirouette my Whistle on the tips for a glitter gradient. PP is a very sheer light peach polish with a pretty silvery shimmer to it. This probably took four coats to get to the opacity you see here. I love this color but after 4 coats there was still VNL which is why I added the glitter. This was a pretty manicure but not the easiest to photograph!

Maybelline Cool Couture
Hello hello!
Today I've got a really great polish to show you: Maybelline's Cool Couture. This is one of the recent Limited Edition shades in their Express Finish line. CC is a hard color to capture in natural lighting but I tried my best. The formula on this was great, only two coats that dried nice and shiny were needed to achieve opacity. These pictures are only one day of wear and you can see a good amount of tip wear in that time. I'm not sure if this is due to the color or the fact that I used Orly topcoat instead of Seche *shrugs* Cool Couture has a slate blue color with grey tendencies for a base and a ton of teal shimmer in it! There is also purple shimmer, at least in the bottle, in low light but I had no luck capturing it on camera.
