Falling in Color

 

 Ah, the beauty of Fall! It's like a fireworks show done in reds, yellows, orange, and a dash of green!


Starting on my left hand I painted all but my ring finger...

L. A. Colors Color Craze Nail Polish with hardenersNP422 Lighting
   When I bought this polish I thought it was a neon pink. Later I realized it's more a hot coral nearly orange. What get me is the color's name in "Lighting" .... Why? If you have a clue please comment, I just can't think of any reason this color is named "Lighting"!
    This color is a little sheer. You might want to do an extra coat. At only a $1 or $2 so it's worth it!

Pure Ice Nail Polish
Made in the USA
1023 Lucky Charming
    My ring finger adds a touch of green! I really have a soft spot for this color and top it off it's GLITTER! A very fine metallic glitter. Pure Ice is a good lower cost polish around $2. It looks like the higher price polishes. Some you might can even call dupes. :-)

Sephora by O.P.I Top Coat "I Found My Pot of Gold" 12023AGV SE 459 +Sephora +OPI Products
   I topped the look off with a top coat on my thumb and pinky.
    Sorry, this in a discontinued polish made in partnership between Sephora and O.P.I. It's still out there if you look for it. Check the internet. Big Lots is another good place to find this kind of stuff.
    This polish is a little strange. It's clear with small gold glitter... then there are large diamond shaped holographic glitter in silver.

Pure Ice Nail Polish #001 "Glow in the Dark"
    Not often I type in #001. I guess this is their first color? LOL... Anyway, I like to wear glow in the dark polish around Halloween. Here I used a new bottle of Pure Ice, a brand I like about $2. They had a number of colors this year for Halloween. Several glowed. I went for the clear'ish that you can use a top coat. It works!

Repeat on right hand in any order you please. Found a bag of these in a clearance bin at Big Lots! Gave them a try, Yummy :-) +Big Lots

London Blue: Nails

 

    I was more pleased with how this came out then I expected! This blue polish is so glittery!!! The first time I've really used it. Bad news it last only less then half a day but I have to disclose that I didn't prepare my nails correctly and that could quite possible have been the problem.

• Salon Perfect Professional Nail Lacquer #304 Star Light Star Bright

• Sephora by OPI Top Coat Beam Me Up Hottie! 12039A6V SE 482

Step #1:
    I used 3 coats of Star Light Star Bright You can get away with 2. I just wanted a really good coverage/intense color on my nails. have no problem on drying time.
    The color... WOW! It doesn't look the same in the bottle! It's amazingly shinny!

Step #2:
    Stuff like this would have made me use nail polish much more and sooner in my life!!! I'm a glitz girl! I remember my mom had a bottle of red glitter when I as little that I was allowed to wear sometimes. But I wasn't allowed really red-red polish. Anyway...

Since I'm a sci-fi geek, the name of
"Beam Me Up Hottie" is amusing :-)

   This polish is clear gloss top coat with large pieces of silver holographic glitter. I only used 1 coat. I also have a bottle of top coat with the same but smaller pieces of holographic glitter.
   I don't think Sephora/OPI have a line of polish anymore. Does anyone know of any dupes of this?

• London Blue Topaz Ring

   Anyone remember London Blue Topaz stones? I don't really see them anymore. They are a topaz treated to darken. I think a darker stone was called Midnight Blue. This ring is my mom's but I have a London blue as well... somewhere. I think this ring dates from around 2000. With treated stones there is a chance they will turn again with time but this one seems to be holding it's color well.
