Viva Las Vegas!

It has been a little while since my last post ... I kept the pink tips for a little over a month. Now it is my birthday and hubby and I are heading to Vegas! I decided to go with purple tips (on my nails and my toes!) cuz it's my fave color and would be so fun to rock in Vegas!

My NYC Manicure

OPI DS Classic

Yes, I know you've seen this before. In fact, that's the same pic I posted last time I wore this color.

Last Wednesday I was trying to decide what color to paint my nails the day before we left in hopes that the manicure would still look nice Sunday when we came home. I picked the above shade and it was a winner! I got slight tip wear of course, but because it's such a nice neutral color, you didn't even notice.

And of course, no chips!

This will most likely be my travel main-stay.

Would you look at that crazy tip wear? I painted these last night and used Poshe as my topcoat. I've tried it a few times with some lighter polishes and liked it just fine.

Now, I have to admit I shuffled quite a bit of paper at work today, but I kept noticing red marks on my papers. My polish was rubbing off!

Back to Seche Vite I go.

Another DS shade that I am in love with- can't stop looking at my nails!

When I got the first coat on, it was pretty sheer, and I found myself thinking that it might be a grandma color... but then I got the second coat on, stepped out into the sun, and POP! There was that gorgeous shimmer my gma wouldn't have touched with a 10 foot pole.

Really, really pretty. I'm finding application for colors like this and OPI for Sephora How Many Carats to be fabulous- very smooth.

This is two coats, and there's a visible nail line. I imagine 3-4 coats would have solved that, but it really doesn't bother me.

I lost some length on my pointer finger, so I really need to file the rest down to match, but that's so hard to do! I patched it several times using a silk wrap, but I suppose I use that finger too much because each time the wrap didn't last, although I haven't had any problems with several nails I patched at the same time. So you may be seeing some shorter nails from me next polish change.

I painted these in a super hurry this AM before a day of fun with the fam, so don't judge too much! This shade morphs from purple to bronze-y purple in the sun- it's really pretty!

OPI Pink of Hearts 2

Yesterday I had about 20 minutes to paint my nails before we left to meet some friends for dinner and drinks. I glanced through my untrieds, looking for something that might be a quick easy color.

I found OPI Pink of Hearts 2, and it fit the bill perfectly! Since I had already done my bonder and base coat earlier, I just slapped on two coats of POH2 and my SV, and was out the door. It's a nice, calm color that looks natural. I do like it, but I think I'll be ready for a darker color tomorrow!
