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.

Reader's Choice Mondays ~ Nails Inc. Sweets Way
Hey dolls! The winner of this week's Reader's Choice was Nails Inc. Sweets Way with 45% percent of the votes. Sweets Way is part of the Sprinkles collection and is a milky white base filled blue, pink, and silver glitter. The formula was a little thick, but easy to use. It dried relatively quickly and I applied two thick coats for opacity.
Sweets Way is a super cute and fun polish! I love the pastel glitter and how some appear to be matte. My stepdaughter is in town for the summer and she decided to wear the other two colors, so we were Sprinkles triplets. Here are a couple of pictures we took on Instagram.
For next week Reader's Choice Monday, I have three American Apparel polishes as your options. I recently received these in a swap, so I'm excited to try out this brand for the first time. Please feel free to vote below and the poll will close on Friday, August 3, 2012.

Pink Wednesday ~ Zoya Lola + Pretty & Polished Valentino
Hey dolls! Thanks to all of you who have voted so far for the first Reader's Choice Mondays. I'm anxious to see what the final results will be. Today I'm wearing a girly, but edgy mani for Pink Wednesday. Zoya Lola has been on my wish list for some time. Lola is a bright pink that is filled with blue-violet shimmer. The formula was great and it was opaque in two coats.
I adore this polish, not only because its gorgeous, but because I know two lovely ladies named Lola who are both my sorority sisters. You may know one of them - Lola from Burb Beauty.
To make this combo a little more edgy, I decided to add Pretty & Polished Valentino, which is a multi-shaped black and white glitter. The glitter is pretty dense, so I only needed one coat. The largest hexes were somewhat difficult to come out, but I didn't mind because I would be fine without them.
I love pink, white, and black together! My search for a black/white glitter has officially ended. I love that Valentino does not include any bar glitter, like most other black/white combos.
