Pink Wednesday!

Once again it's Pink Wednesday! I couldn't figure out which pink I wanted to wear, again, when I came across this creamy pink that is actually called Plum Seduction by Revlon. I think it debuted in 2009, but I bought it at CVS on one of my coupon shopping days back in April.

 

This is 2 coats with an SV top coat. In my opinion, it really didn't need a top coat because it was super shiny on my nails without it. But no mani is complete without a top coat when it comes to my nails!

 

I had to nubbinize a few nails today because while I was shaking up a franken that I was working on today I bumped my hand on the freakin table...Dag nabbit...I hate when that happens! Oh well, I'm really starting to like Revlon polishes. Seems sometimes they get a bad rep, especially if you are an OPI junky like me!!! Either way, like it or love it! Happy Pink Wednesday ladies...

Deux Lux...

I got a Beautiful Lovely Thing for my birthday last week...

 

Isn't this gorgeous! It is a beautiful crystal-encrusted bag that is too cute for words! It's called the "Twinkle Small Duffle". Of all my purses & handbags, this one is by far my favorite. It glistens any and everywhere, even when the lights are off!

It has a beautiful turquoise satin on the inside that I think goes so well with black.  On a sad note though, I did discover that the label on the inside is upside down, which kind of chaps my a** because the boutique I got it from is so nice & upscale. But the owner said she is happy to call & have a replacement shipped to me. So I'm happy again!

 

I saw a young lady carrying this bag in the waiting room at the hospital I work at, so I asked, she told, I bought! It comes in a few different colors. You can get it at Nordstrom or deuxlux.com. I have to say my hubby did good with his choice of birthday gifts for me this year..thanks hunny bunny!!

Blue Monday

Hey y'all,

I'm so excited to share Blue Mondays with A Polished Touch. I really love Pink Wednesdays, so this just adds another fun layer to my week! So here we go...

I started with a coat of Orly Glitz & Glamour and then a coat of Sally Hansen Distressed Denim Crackle. 

Orly G&G is a deeply rich gold glitter that almost looks like gold foil  to me. I really really love it! Now as for this Sally Hansen Crackle...smh...I already dislike crackle/shatter polishes but I figured WTH give it a try. This polish is a cobalt blue jelly crackle polish that is hard as all get out to work with. I tried to go slow to get really thin, even coats, but this polish is a hot mess! The brush is too skinny the formula is very funky **takes a deep breath**. When I tried to correct some areas, it just clumped up! The crackle finish looks very ashy & dry, but a coat of SV while brighten it right up!! (I should have zoom in on this pic)

I almost didn't post this mani because my blog is all about things that are beautiful & make me happy. This did not make me very happy. But I love the gold underneath the blue and I love the idea of Blue Mondays, so whatever, I'm posting it.

Here it is with camera flash. Eek!!! I hope you guys like this color combo. If you try it, I hope it works better for you than it did for me. Thanks!!
