I was feeling SUPER uninspired last night, but needed to change out my mani. I was trying so hard to think of something creative and fall-inspired so that I could post (there are so many awesome swatchers out there--I don't really feel justified posting a simple polish change). I was tired and decided to go boring with a simple accent color and call it a night.
Sometimes simple is perfection.
*1 coat Gelous base
*2 coats Zoya Channing
*2 coats OPI My Favorite Ornament (accent)
*1 coat Out the Door (2 on accent)
Ahhh! Warm, glowing, autumn perfection! I've had both of these colors for a while and really regret not wearing them sooner. Channing is a rusty orange foil finish with gorgeous, shimmering flecks. This was 2 easy, thin coats.
My mom gave me My Favorite Ornament last Christmas. It wasn't on my wish list because it's just another gold glitter...except it's amazing! (Side note: my mom's awesome and clearly knows me better than I know myself) This is a fine white-gold glitter. I used two coats here and, while you can see nail line in the photo, in real life you can't. This sparkler dries gritty, so I used 2 thick coats of topper and may add a 3rd tonight. It's so pretty though! The picture above is a little blurry so you can see the sparkle better on the accent--love it!
I was ready to stop after the polish but had a little baggie of of decals sitting on my table. I saw a sheet of stickers that I think I won, definitely didn't buy, and didn't expect to like. The little swirls are a sticker (I know, I could try to paint them on, but let's be real--it would not end like this!) and I LOVE it! It was the perfect little extra.
I'm trying to post more often, and I'm so sad that this one will get taken off sooner rather than later. I could stare at this all day (and may have for much of the afternoon while I typed...).
Have you been surprised by something you underestimated? Is there a sleeper gem I should try? Do tell!
