This was a fun YouTube collab that I think I posted about at the time & encouraged bloggers to join in as well =)
I started out by prepping my nails with Orly Au Champagne which is a surprisingly opaque shimmery white. Marbling is done with Zoya Ali & Wet n Wild Disturbia:
Here's a closer look at a few of my favorite nails - top row is from my left hand & bottom row from my right:
Here's the tutorial:

So, tired as I am during the week, for some reason I don't go to bed early on Fridays ... I suppose I could, but somehow I always end up staying up later than I intend. At least tonight I am being productive =) I plan on posting a lot this weekend - starting now!
This is my last manicure from ... January. I suck so bad LOL. I can't even fool myself that I can conceivably get caught up in a single weekend at this point. But if I can start doing several posts a day, maybe I can make a dent in this huge backlog - I really appreciate all of your patience =)
Nails Inc Whitehall is an awesome teal magnetic polish. I am still madly in love with magnetics & I saw a promo pic somewhere a few days ago that China Glaze is coming out with a 2nd collection that I'm looking forward to. I started off with it glossy:
Then I had to do a couple days matte:
I think this may be the first blog post with my new matte topcoat? Many of you may know that Matte Magic is HTF if not completely discontinued, so I picked up Warpaint Beauty Mattify because it was the cheapest one that I came across. I still have a bit of MM left but I'm glad to know there is an easily available alternative - Warpaint Beauty is sold at Hot Topic (& elsewhere as well I'm sure but I don't know where).
Here's a look at both versions in motion - I love the depth of magnetic polishes, the seemingly peaks & valleys inside the polish:
I thought that since I'm going to the conservatory today, I'd start off with some pics from a bit over a week ago when we went to the Macy's Flower Show =) Which is, I must add, back in the auditorium where it belongs. The theme was Brasil Gardens of Paradise, and while it wasn't the most impressive show I've ever seen them put on, I enjoyed it a lot. Here are some of my favorite pics:
The toucan was made completely out of flowers!
Yes - it's an adorable tiny pineapple!
The kitty is mechanized so it moves a bit & looks like it's breathing or purring =) We've seen him appear in several shows!
So, as I said, off work today & off to the Como Park Conservatory to see their spring show. I hope to have time to edit some nail pics & post more once I get home - and of course will have some more gorgeous flowers to share with you guys too =)
Thanks for reading. (And for being so patient with my non-regularly posting self!)
