Friday Favorites

This is a new favorite of mine, as a matter of fact just this week. I was so happy with this polish that I was showing everyone at work my nails. A little while back I was reading on a friends blog Krista' Fascinations about SpaRitual nail polish that lasted her for a while. I was surprised and had to ask about it. Well I haven't had time to order it, but I found my Orly and wore it for this week. I used OPI base coat, 2 coats of Orly "cupcake" then Piggy Polish Over the Top on top.
I don't know which one did it or all three but it lasted me all week. I mean not one chip. Check out the photos. I only reapplied the top coat on one finger (left ring finger) Wed night.

Now mind you I don't have a dishwasher, and I did dishes, I work in the school's clinic so I wash my hands all the time! Not one chip all week I was thrilled, so much I had to share!

While Waiting for my Zoya

With everyone talking about already getting their free Zoya it's hard to sit back and wait. I should be getting mine soon, like today or tomorrow (hopefully). So I went to Ulta and found some fun polish on clearance. Of course in Florida we tend to carry the summer season a little farther than in other places. I wear sandals to work, and colors are always bright.

This Piggy Polish came with a base coat and top coat. The color is Live with Purplish.

I love this! It was hard to get a good photo of it in the sun, but you can get an idea how the light plays off it. In indoor light it has a nice purple frosted-like look. With all that glitter, shimmer-ness it is very smooth to the touch, it feels no different than any other gloss polish. It's the Diamond Dust formulation, from their Designer Series by O.P.I. in Amethyst. I love this product! It has a large, flat, soft brush that lets the polish go on so smooth. The coverage is so complete and it dries super fast. I also got it in Chiffon and wish I would of also picked up the Platinum. Now we'll see how long it lasts.

Playing with Summer Nail Colors

Maranda and I were playing around with some summer colors for our nails. We've had them all summer so they are not brand new today. I've worn the Orly on my toenails for awhile and really like how long it lasts.

Maranda is wearing Piggy Polish in Dancing With Daisies. She liked the name. Of course the picture doesn't do it justice. This was taken outside in the shade, with flash. It has an iridescence that I can't photograph well.

Maranda's nails used to be so long. I really have to teach her how to file them properly, instead of just clipping them off. She has such long fingers, toes and legs. One of her past teachers said she should be a hand model. hehe

Mom and daughter toes!

This is Orly in Terracotta, I love the bright coral color which is perfect for me for summer nails and toenails. The cream polish has staying power. We will definitely work on our swatching skills, or lack there of. Thanks for bearing with us.

What are some of your favorite colors for toenails in the summer?
