Fallen Leaves Mani.

Good evening! How has your Monday been? Mine's been quite good. Still no word from the vet though. Hopefully, we will have more news tomorrow. I belong to a couple of online nail forums, and one of them has themes from time to time. Today's theme was fallen leaves, and I decided to take part in it.

I started out using China Glaze Below Deck, which is from this year's summer collection. Below Deck is a taupe color with a creme finish. I then used several different colored glitters. I used a burnt orange glitter, by a brand I picked up at Marshall's called Color Zone. The green glitter is by Love & Beauty which you can find at Forever 21. It's just called green. How original, huh? :-D It's an exact dupe to LA Girl's Purge from the Glitter Addict collection. It has small green glitter, and medium sized round green glitter. I used Wet 'n Wild Prancer from last year's holiday collection. It's med. sized red glitter in a clear base. The gold glitter pieces are NYX Girls Gilded Glitter. Of course, I had to see what it looked like matte, so I used Essie Matte About You.

First up, are the pics. before I used the Matte top coat.

L'Oreal Owl's Night and NYX Girls Gilded Glitter.

Happy,happy Friday!!! Is it just me, or does it seem like it was a long week? Even though it was a short work week? Maybe it's because I've been sick half the week. I don't know. It just seems like it's been a long one. I FINALLY feel better today! Not 100% but I can breathe again, which is always good! LOL!

Last night, while I was in Walgreen's picking up some meds. I came across a new L'Oreal fall display. I grabbed a couple of them, and am wearing one today. It's called Owl's Night. It's a murky green, almost black base. It also has lots of gold flecks in it. Application was great, and I used two coats. I probably could have gotten away with only one, but I had a couple of nails that I did too thinly the first time.

I also messed up my left hand, so I decided to add a coat of NYX Girls Gilded glitter over top to save it. I didn't feel like taking it off, to redo it. Gilded glitter is one of my fav. layering polishes. LOVE it! It's made up of gold glitter pieces in a clear base. I wish they would make this in all different colors. That would be awesome! ;-)

First up, are pics. of the completed mani. (don't forget to click) ;-)

Thanks so much for looking, and have a great Friday! :-)
