Blue-Black Manicure!

Hello Darling Ninjas!

Last week on Wednesday, hubby and I graduated from our solid blue belt to our blue-black belt in Ninjutsu. If you've followed me for a while, you know that I like to do a manicure to match the belt I'm going to for each graduation. Here's my blue-black mani!

This is a pretty simple manicure as far as nail art goes. This is two coats of L'Oreal Notting Hill Blues with black french tips. My left hand turned out really well since I got to use my dominant hand to do the tips; my right hand turned out much worse and I ended up throwing black crackle over my blue to cover it up! Here's my pretty hand :)

L'Oreal Brit Invasion

Good evening Ninjas!

I'm in the process of letting my nails dry so this might be a short post. There's a huge Ninjutsu seminar this coming weekend that I've already got a manicure request for (Co-worker wants me to go the grandmaster's belt, gold with red kanji) And I'm also participating in a Halloween nail challenge but I'll be out of town at the seminar through late Sunday night. Therefore, I'll have to do my Day 1 Halloween manicure early and probably schedule the post. Hubby thinks it's funny that I'm stressed about upcoming manicures; he just doesn't get it!

Tonight's polish is Brit Invasion from L'Oreal which came out with a handful of other British themed polishes in honor of the 2012 Summer Olympics being held in Great Britain this summer.  This was the only polish left in the display that I had any interest in. Brit Invasion is a really nice medium taupe base with a lot of gold shimmer. In some lighting the taupe would lean grey and in others it was decidedly brown. I really liked this manicure and the formula was very easy to work with! Two coats of color with nearly no clean up thanks to the nice shape of L'Oreal's polish brush.

L'Oreal Owl's Night

Hi again!

Sorry I forgot to post yesterday, I got my days mixed up and wasn't sure when my last post was. That and I was busy making Hubby some chicken soup for his sore throat. Anyways, today I've got one of the polishes from L'Oreal's Project Runways collection: Owl's Night. This is a really interesting polish, and I have nothing mildly similar to it. It has a smoky grey/brown base with a tone of multicolored microglitter in it. The glitter ranges in color from gold, to green, to red. Overall it's a hard to photograph color but it's gorgeous to wear. This is two coats of super easy application over Seche Recondition and topped with Seche QD.

The great thing about this is that it wasn't hard to remove since the glitter particles were so small.
