New Plates and Old Polish!

Some of the old Sally Hansen Prisms are fantastic...I picked up a few of them last summer when the Bargain Shop was selling them in plastic pouches and have spotted some in bargain bins at flea markets and the like. **Always check out the bins or makeup sales at flea markets as you never know what you may find there! ** Here's two coats of Ruby Emerald over one coat of Illamasqua Boosh...a glorious one coat wonder!
I took a few pix in different lighting...
Here's another one...
Now, onto the new plates! Some of you may know that a fellow blogger, Shirley over at Shirley's Beauty-Nails** designed her own line of image plates. I'm always on the lookout for new image plates and she has some really great and unique designs, so as soon as I had a few extra dollars, I ordered 28 of the available ones. Here's my first time using them over my mani using Orly Luxe using plate SdP B-13.
My fingers were stamped this morning which was day three of this polish, so thats why its not as nice and shiny as the above pix! The pix above is in direct sunlight; the pix below is in the shade so the stamp design shows a little better.
And I stumbled across a source for Anna Sui polishes a week or so ago...of course had to pick up a few and thought it would be a great time to give them a try. The sparkly thumb is Anna Sui #81. Love these rose scented polishes...but not loving the brush so much...I guess its a small price to pay for the gloriousness!
Anna Sui is available at select Shoppers Drug Marts (in my area anyway). The one I visited had about 15ish different colours to chose...unfortunately the one I'm lemming the most, #300, wasn't part of the collection.

Thx for looking!

**Please note that I paid the invoiced amount in full for my plates.

Mardi Gras Nails

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras and being the theme kinda gal I am, I couldn't resist a Mardi Gras mani. Here's what I came up with:



The above pix was taken the morning after doing mani in nature daylight.

Base coats are CND Gold Chrome and Sally Hansen Turquoise Opal. Here's Turquoise Opal only...you can see the purple and blue but green hue was illusive...

IP used were Konad m77, fauxnad m19, fauxnad T20 and fauxnad T39.

Stamping polishes were Konad Green, Royal Purple, Violet Pearl, Beautiful Scratchers Iron Red, Sally Hansen Royal Purple Chrome and CND Gold Chrome.

Thanks for looking!
