L'oreal Miss Pixie with Cirque Magic Hour

Hey guys! Here is another blue mani for you for Paint It Blue month for Autism Awareness. I love blue so a month of it is no great hardship! Today I have for you a Jelly and a glitter..with a little stamping thrown in for good measure. I'm having a few personal stress issue at the moment, some mine, some my family, some my friends which means I haven't had time to sit down and just paint my nails, or plan to paint my nails. I still have polish happening but mostly just fitting it in around hospital visits, work, cooking paleo food and some sleep. On the upside I feel more active? Wierd huh. So this is my nails that I am sporting at the moment. L'oreal Miss Pixie which is a brilliant blue jelly- 3 coats for this look. A top coat of Circque Magic Hour and some puzzle stamping with Essie Penny Talk.

So, L'oreal Miss Pixie..love! Visible nail line, yeah, but so? Hehe. This was 3 coats and I probably could have done a 4th to make sure there was no VNL, but that was so not the point of having a jelly polish. Some fading at the tips with the polish but that is probably my application. Cirque Magic Hour has beautiful blue and copper flakie glitter in a clear base. I did have to add thinner to make the clear base less gluggy, but the glitters were easy to apply despite that. I matched up Essie Penny talk for my stamping and puzzle pieces were the choice of course! Hope you are ready for the week ahead..I wish there was more weekend than working week, LOL.

Austism Awareness Day- China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic with stamping!

Argh! I am late with my Autism Awareness Day post..but I swear I was wearing this on the actual AA Day...and for Autism Awareness Day we are going blue! Some of us are doing a month of blue, some a week..I will be doing a Blue as much as I can but probably once a week unless I get super inspired. So please check next week for another gorgeous shade of blue :) So which blue did I kick off my Autism Awareness ? I couldn't decided but China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic called to me and so this is what I started with. I wanted to incorporate the puzzle logo of the Autism Society as they represent the mystery and complexity of the autism spectrum.

 Rodeo Fanatic is gorgeous!

I stamped with puzzle pieces and colored in a few to make it pretty :)

 The mani has a variety of colors in different lights and Rodeo Fanatic has a duochromey finish.

 The glitter of Freeze Machine also had a duochrome effect in the light!

I really loved how this turned out...interesting enough to catch the eye but not overwhelming. I good start on the spectrum of blue :) Now,there is also an awesome blue polish auction in the pipeworks with many awesome contributors of indie polish babes donating to raising funds by auctioning one off custom blue polishes of awesomeness!
