Untried Polish Challenge-Was A Gift

w00t! I figured out one polish that I had that was both untried and that I hadn't bought!

Last year, I won some polishes from Enchanted Polish through Facebook. The fact that it was a giveaway prize means that it was a gift, right? This is the last of the lot, the last of the entire Imagine Collection that I hadn't used yet.

Take a look at Enchanted Polish Mean Mr. Mustard!

I don't think I was successful at getting the duochrome to come out to play, but look what showed up!

HOLO! I didn't realize this had HOLO!

Because we were leaving on vacation, I didn't actually do a whole mani of this, I put one coat of Rimmel (Black) over the previous mani (see previous post) and then one coat of Mean Mr. Mustard.

Except on the thumb. I remembered that the others in this collection were one-coaters, so I tried one coat over that glittery black, and here is the result. Success! Now I think these may go in the stamping rotation!

I liked Mean Mr. Mustard a lot more than I expected-as an old fart, these bright greens don't appeal to me, Peridot did nothing for me, and this is along those lines.

Enchanted Polish is available at Llarowe , Harlow & Co., and MeiMei's Signatures, as well as on their own Big Cartel site, I think.

Flip Flop February-Day 18

Yay! I have been waiting for this one!

Today's options are Galaxy or Rhinestones.
I chose to do the Galaxy-I totally love these manis, even though I don't wear them often enough.
I used a TON of polishes in this mani!
Thirteen different polishes and two top coats-that is even more than the last time I did them!
They were Zoya Raven & Charla, Revlon Snow Bunny and Impulsive, Sally Hansen Vibrant and Hard Lemonade, Sinful Colors Cloud 9 and Call You Later, Wet and Wild Kaleidoscope, OPI Ski Teal We Drop (and Start to Finish topcoat), Rimmel Promiscuous, Butter London The Black Knight, NYC Matte Me Crazy.
And last, but not least, Enchanted Polish "Across the Universe"! (See what I did there?)

Okay, but I felt they were missing something.
So I matted them.

See the shiny of the Kaleidoscope?
But it still didn't feel right, so I top coated it.

Almost.
And then I realized what was missing.
Individual stars!

There! That does it!
I love Galaxy Nails-there really isn't a wrong way to do them!

Adios!

Flip Flop February-Day 16

Real quick post this time-somehow the time just slipped away from me!

Day 16! Animal Prints or Stripes!

I hates Animal Prints!
We hateses them, Baggins!

So, I did stripes-although, funnily enough, now that I think about it, there IS an animal involved.

I know, I know, it sure doesn't LOOK like there is an animal involved.
BUT! The brown? It is Enchanted Polish's I Am The Walrus! (Link goes to Llarowe.)
I used as a base Sally Hansen InstaDri In A Flash, then used striping tape and painted over it with Walrus, then pulled the tape off to expose the Flash.

Walrus is ah-may-zing!
I was really really lucky and won the full Beatles set from Enchanted Polish on Facebook!
Lovely and generous!

Check out the other stripe manicures, and I suppose, the animal print ones, too.
People get SO creative!

Adios!
