Teal Tuesdays - Matte/Glossy

For this edition of Teal Tuesdays our challenge was to create a matte/glossy mani. For my base I used RBL Halcyon. Can you believe this is the only RBL polish I own? I absolutely love this polish, the color, the application, the formula. I love EVERYTHING except the price. $20 is a little steep in my book but I am happy I splurged and bought this otherwise I would be kicking myself in the butt right now. I then taped my nails diagnal and applied Jordana Boy Oh Boy and Essie Matte About You to create the matte look. To finish the mani off I used the dotting tool and added more Halcyon over the Boy Oh Boy.

Here is a swatch of the fabulous Rescue Beauty Lounge Halcyon:

Acid Orange

Awww Saturday how I have missed you. I just love the weekend because it allows me to have all day to do my nails (if I want) normally that's not the case since I'm usually out running errands. So here is the post that I was suppose to put up yesterday but instead I was too mesmerized by Fantasy Fire's beuty. Anyways, here is one of the polishes I picked up from Hot Topics Warpaint Acid Orange. I must admit the formula wasn't easy to work with, this was 3 - 4 coats. The most trouble I had was with the cap it was huge and square and hard to hold the brush. The outcome of the polish was a bright in your face neon matte orange. On the lid of the polish it says it's a Black Light Polish, too bad I no longer have my black light, I would have liked to see the effects.

I ended up adding a coat of Seche Vite to see how it would look glossy.

Because it looked so plain Jane I added Color Club Hot Couture a pink based glitter.

Enjoy the weekend!
