5 Ways: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lazy Sunday!

Well, it will be for me. I had all these plans today, but it's supposed to rain pretty much from now until much later this evening, so I'm gonna hang out here and watch hockey. We really spanked the penguins yesterday afternoon, and I'm hoping we can spank 'em again today. Not to mention, I'll get to talk a lot of smack to my pens friends in the process, which I would love.

I haven't done a 5 Ways in awhile, so I decided while I was figuring out which green polish I'd wear on Monday, I'd swatch some colors and maybe inspire someone.
I've only recently found that I have the courage to wear green, honestly. I love wearing green clothes, but I wasn't too sure about it on my nails. I'm happy to say that my phobia is gone :)

Five ways: 5 Nice Shades of Red

Hi and Happy Monday!

It's happy for me since I don't have to work today, and for the next few weeks! I guess that's a perk of working for a university, right?
I enjoy doing 5 ways posts, and I figured I'd do one with some red polishes to get everyone in the mood for Christmas. I picked red based on finish and how much I liked them. Here they are:

The polishes are:

Thumb: Zoya Rekha , creme, 2 coats
Index: OPI Danke-Shiny Red, metallic, 2 coats
Middle: Butter London Chancer, glitter, 2 coats
Ring: China Glaze Elfin Around, foil, 1 coat
Pinky:  Zoya Sarah, sparkle, 2 coats

I've got closeups and thoughts after the jump!

Five Ways to Wear: Honey Rainbow Lunairetic

Here's the post!

I liked the last 5 ways to wear that I posted, so I think I'm going to do these kinds of posts more often. They're a good way to kind of challenge myself, because I'm not very creative at all, so I'm stepping a bit out of my logical mindset and trying new things this way.
So today, I have Honey Rainbow's Lunairetic. I love this one, it looks like Mardi Gras in a bottle to me. Don't ask me why I think that, because I've never actually seen Mardi Gras :) Well, here we go!

 The base colors are:

Thumb - OPI GoldenEye (3 coats)
Index - OPI Casino Royale (2 coats)
Middle - China Glaze First Class Ticket (2 coats)
Ring - China Glaze Blue Years Eve (3 coats)
Pinky - Sephora Formula X Hyped (3 coats)

I've got some macro shots of each after the jump! Love me a good macro shot..

Five Ways to Wear: Whimsical Ideas by Pam - Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

Thanksgiving is coming up soon, so I decided to dedicate a post to what I'll be wearing on my nails next week! I've got Whimsical Ideas by Pam's Thanks! today. I bought this back in October during the Halloween sale, but it's still available to purchase on her Facebook page!
This is a red, gold and orange glitter in a clear base. I like these types of polishes because I think they're super versatile. I spent a while trying to figure out what I liked this polish layered over best and I thought, "why don't I show this several ways just so you can see how nicely it pairs with a lot of colors!" Here's the end result:

I'll explain the polishes after the jump!
