OH you fancy, huh?

First off, please excuse the crappy lighting in this picture but at least it shows the true color of this nail polish!

This is three coats of Icing Pinot Noir. It is purple toned burgandy nail polish with a pretty bad formula. It did not apply well at all! To spruce it up a bit, I added Milani Jewel FX Gold, which I have been LOVING!

I want to say thank you to all my new and old followers! There is going to be a giveaway in the very near future!

Broken Hearts

Guess who is actually back with a decent post? ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!

I got the idea for this manicure from sayanythingbr00ke's Anti-Valentine's Day manicure. Instead of using the usual ring finger as the accent nail, she used the middle finger to give that extra "umph" to the manicure. So I went in the same direction and used the middle finger as my accent nail!

The base color is two coats of Icing Gargoyle. On the middle finger I made little hearts with Zoya Delilah with a dotting tool. To "break" the hearts I used Sally Hansen Black Out. Although Icing Gargoyle is already a matte polish, I added Maybelline Matte Maker as a top coat, which apparently ended up giving the manicure a satin finish (that I do like).

By the way, I have probably used Maybelline Matte Maker in about 3 manicures tops and a little more than 1/4 of the .5 oz bottle has disappeared. *shrugs*

I will probably post a Valentine's Day manicure on Sunday!

Essie Huckle Buckle (layered over Icing Gargoyle)

Icing Gargoyle (matte), Sinful Colors Frenzy, Essie Huckle Buckle

One coat of Essie Huckle Buckle layered over one coat of Icing Gargoyle with one coat of Sinful Colors Frenzy on the accent nail. The color is actually pretty accurate in what is showing up in the pictures. However, without being layered over another polish, Essie Huckle Buckle is more sheer and requires numerous coats to get adequate opacity.
