2 kinda boring orange mani's

 

My heart isn't into Halloween this year; last year I had all my interior decorations up by Oct 1st and I am just starting to decorate this evening! 

Also, any time I am way for a few days and come back to add posts to my blog - there seems to be problems with blogger. I think this is the 4th time that I have gone away, then sat down to post and blogger is fudged up. Or maybe it's just my blog. sigh. It took 20 minutes to get photos into a post = whats up with that?

Anyhoo - I love the finish of Nicole Fresh Squeezed, but hate that it is streaky and needs like, 4 coats. Here I have layered it over Avon's Bare Necessity which is a pinky mauve.

 This is a better photo of the actual colour.....


 The base was Avon Bare Necessity, 2 coats of Nicole by OPI in Fresh Squeezed

 Scotch tape manis are a fine art - I tried to do an orange/green scotch tape look but it turned out terrible - even glitter wouldn't fix it.  I used Avon Olive Green ( USA version )

 ....... and here is how I make good use out of polish with a nasty frost finish...... Sponge! I started with a base of Wet n Wild Sunny Side up - 3 coats - then sponged on Nail Fetish Clash, then added a coat of Love My Nails Dazzling. No TC in these photos.

Bright oranges and pinks always mess with my camera..... I'll have to hunt around on the Internet to figure out what I can do to counteract that problem.

the orange franken I wore for 1 week



Here is another franken I made using the same 2 Billie Cosmetic's polish's; Orange and French White. I wore this polish for 5 days before I layered Nicole Fresh Squeezed over it.

I have added just plain white polish to many sheer or boring polish's with great results. This Billie Orange polish franken  gets alot of use.


w/Billie Orange......


here I have layered Nicole Fresh Squeezed over my pastel orange franken


This Nicole polish was much more sheer then I thought it would be. I think that without layering this over another polish, it would require 3 to 5 coats to hide visible nail lines and even out the brush marks. Thankfully I only paid 50 cents for this at a garage sale - otherwise I would be disappointed with this one.




... and I wore this polish a few weeks ago, Billie Cosmetic's Burning Hot 3 thin coats
 It is a shimmery burnt orange, like Orly`s Oh La La
