Red, Blue and...Glitter?

Sorry for the late posts. I've done quite a few nails since I last spoke with you all. I decided I wanted to do Fourth of July nails! Originally I was going to make them look like the American flag, but I settled for some deep red and blue.

The little star I added really made it look nice. Even my father (who can't understand why I like to paint my nails) liked them. They lasted...a day. The stars dropped off and then the red polish sort of peeled off.

The colors I used were OPI's The Spy Who Loved Me from the Skyfall collection. The blue is OPI's Yoga-ta Get This Blue. The top glitter is Ice Ice Baby from Confetti. I love how pretty it came out. 

Orange you glad I didn't say purple?

BAD JOKE. Sorry! Anyway, this is a nail polish I found on sale at CVS. Orly's Cherry Bomb is advertised as red. It is totally not red. It is a bright orange. It's pretty, but it wasn't what I expected. I added OPI's Goldeneye on top to make it really shine. And then...decals...because who doesn't love decals?

Five minutes later, this manicure was promptly ruined by the dog. 

Don't trust that innocent little face!

Of course I haven't done purple yet...<<...>>...

Okay, okay...I admit it. I am a sucker for purple polishes. It's a wonder my entire collection of polish isn't purple. I found this polish at CVS and fell in love. It's called Polar Purple by Sally Hansen. I was skeptical about how this worked, but I figured I'd give it a try. Let me tell you that this is a really fun polish.

Isn't that the coolest? The magnet is really very nice and easy to use. The instructions are on the bottle, so read before attempting. It doesn't dry as quickly as some polishes, so give it ample time. Also, be prepared for a hefty price. 9 bucks isn't something I'd call cheap for polish.
One more thing about it that I love...it comes off super easy. Seriously. it comes off so smooth. All in all, I'd recommend this as a polish for a weekend wedding or something. Don't expect it to look nice long term.
I promised pictures of Moony, so here he is!

Someday, I will do nails inspired by him. He's a really awesome little fish. His tail is all torn up from fin rot, but that's going away. He's growing new fin now.
