Leaf Piles Make Me Smile Until Dark

Today I have two great colors and one failed nail art attempt!  Oh well, can't win them all, right?

I started off with two coats of Ciate Wait Until Dark.  I was very happy with the application and spread of this polish.  Ciate is a great line, I just wish they were on sale at Sephora more often!  

Then I thought I'd do something interesting and put glitter on only the top half of the nail, I put on two coats of Lacquistry Leaf Piles Make Me Smile.  I loved the color combos, but as you can see, my application was lacking.  Oh well.   This was of no fault of the polish, which is simply magnificent.  As with all of my Lacquistry polishes, it is among the very highest quality.  Not to mention Jenna has THE BEST customer service of all indies.  She is just amazing and such a great person.  I'm very proud to support her as a small business owner. 

I love the mix of color in Leaf Piles.

Ciate can be purchased at Sephora.  Lacquistry can be purchased through her Etsy Store.

Bling a Ding Ding

Have you entered my giveaway yet?

The theme for this weeks Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge was "Gimmie That Bling" to put some sparkles on our nails.

I knew this manicure would be my 40th Birthday Party nails, so I wanted to have a blue base as a homage to my birthstone, the sapphire.

So here you see 2 coats of Ciate Regatta, and really I could have done only one coat it was that perfect.  Regatta is such a great color, it has so much depth on the nail.  The application was a dream.  This was my first Ciate and it certainly wont be my last.

For the bling I used Nail Art stickers.  I was really happy at how it all came out.
