Here are a few pictures from the BCA walk. I have more, but they are with my high school mentoring group and I don't want to put them on the net all willy nilly. :)
Happy hump day dolls!

Breast Cancer Awareness - Skittles
Hey dolls! Today I have for you the BCA mani that I wore to my local Making Strides walk. This look was inspired by Marta of ChitChat Nails. She always does the cutest skittles looks (where each nail is different) and I wanted to give it a try. I pulled out Barielle Eli's Magic, Barielle Cotton Candy, Zoya Kimber, and OPI Excuse Moi. I received Excuse Moi as a surprise gift from my polish friend Lola over at Burb Beauty (thanks doll). Two coats of Excuse Moi was used over one coat of Eli's Magic while two coats were used of the remaining polishes.
As Marta inspired this look, I had to take a few pictures with some BCA jewelry!
I loved the way this turned out! I finally got a chance to do the "saran wrap" marbled look. I started with a base of Cotton Candy, added stripes of Kimber and Eli's Magic, then dabbed with the saran wrap. I'm ready to try this look with other colors!

Reader's Choice Monday ~ OPI DS Temptation
Happy Labor Day to all of my U.S. dolls! I plan to enjoy this day off from work by relaxing around the house, catching up on dvr'd shows, and doing some pleasure reading. The winner for this week's Reader's Choice was OPI DS Temptation with 42% of the votes. Temptation is full of purple, blue, and pink glitter in a blurple sheer base. I'm sure it could be layered to full opacity, but I did two coats of Temptation over one coat of Zoya Monica. This glitter is one you need to see in person, as it really sparkles on your nails.

For this week's poll, I have 3 older blue Zoyas. I'm not even sure why I haven't worn any of these because they are all gorgeous. Too many polishes, not enough time to wear them all. The poll will close on Friday, so please take a second to vote.

Polish Days ~ Olympics
Hey dolls! The theme for this month's Polish Days is the Olympics. I'm a huge fan of the games. I've been watching it all from the very beginning. My favorites are track, gymnastics, swimming, basketball, and volleyball. I had so many different nail art ideas in mind when I first heard of the theme. I tried them all on nail wheels, but none of my ideas were speaking to me or turning out the way I envisioned. I decided to go with something simple and tried and true for me - dots. My inspiration was the three medal colors: gold, silver, and bronze. For the base, I used Orly Au Champagne. The dots were Zoya Goldie, OPI Your Royal Shine-ness, and Diamond Cosmetics Decadence. My index finger got horribly smudged as I was taking pictures, so they didn't make the cut. :)
Au Champagne is just the most gorgeous white ever! I love the way the dots turned out and how the design is not super literal. I'm looking forward to seeing what all of the other ladies came up with for this theme.
What's your favorite Olympic game?
