Feeling Blue with some BAM!

Ok nail time! Essie has a wonderful metallic collection out right now. They have a metallic blue, copper, metallic lilac and silver. I was feeling "Blue".

It had a different consistency from your average color. I found using one really good coat worked best. Once I finished I thought, "I still need some pizzazz". As if the metallic blue wasn't enough. I decided to make my accent nail by using Essie's Matte top coat to dull the metallic. Then I took my OPI "I Have a Herring Problem" which is like a denim blue. I used my my nail art brush and did a drop of the OPI and then took the brush and kind of starred it out. I topped the little design with a little dot of the Essie Metallic Lilac. BAM quick art.

I've gotten so many compliments the past couple of days. I was even at Ulta the other day and a couple of women were commenting on the Essie display of metallics. I walked by and flashed my hand, and they both ended up buying the polish.

Polishes used Essie Blue Rhapsody and Nothing Else Metals, Essie Matte finish, OPI I Have a Herring Problem.

New French Stripe Nails

It was time to do my nails again. I was trying to do something a little different. I wanted to do a modern take on the French manicure. This is what I came up with.....

I took my favorite polish Essie Marshmallow as my base color. I then striped the tip with OPI I Have a Herring Problem. I took my next color Platinum Silver by China Glaze and striped right below the tip stripe. I then used my favorite top coat by Seche Vite. And a lot of breath holding...

What do you guys think???

The inspiration is from my wonderful husband! He gave me the idea. :)
