Butter London- Two Fingered Salute

Guys, I think I have seriously found one of my favorite polishes of all time! I had to track this sucker down so you better bet I love it! The polish I'm referring to is Butter London- Two Fingered Salute. It was one of three Butter London polishes released as Nordstorm exclusives. I saw it and knew I had to have it. Then I waited and waited until I looked one day and it was sold out. No lie I almost cried. And then a Nordstorm Beauty Stylist came to my rescue and ordered me one from their Seattle store. I put it on as soon as I got it and it's still on my nails....like 4 days later. You might have seen a Facebook post about me having found my favorite polish of the year. Well here ya go, it's Butter London- Two Fingered Salute!

Butter London, you sure make me giggle with these names! Names aside, this is a stunning polish. Two Fingered Salute is the perfect shade of light green. I really don't want to call it sage because I find that on me it's way brighter then sage. Maybe a sage with a bit more blue. Who cares, it's so pretty! The amazing part of this polish is the chunky copper shimmer. It just makes the polish glow and adds so much dimension. Ahhhh, I really just love this polish. I have a such a soft spot for greens. It's so funny because green has always been a favorite color of mine but I hated it on my nails. In the past year, it has grown on me. Green is definitely a favorite polish color of mine now! Application was great. Two coats and it was good to go!

It you're on the hunt for this polish but you can't find it in stores, I highly recommend chatting with a Beauty Stylist on Nordstroms website. I have a feeling the ladies in a nail group I'm in might have cleaned out the Seattle store but I'm sure other stores have this still! Best of luck if your on the lookout!

Takko Lacquer- Kiss The Sky

I have one amazingly gorgeous polish to show you guys today! I've lusted over this baby since the first time I laid eyes on it. Seriously, it's that gorgeous. What is this polish you might ask? It's freaking Takko Lacquer- Kiss The Sky. If you haven't seen swatches of this polish yet, don't even look at them, just go buy it if it's available. It took me two restocks to get my hands on Kiss The Sky and it did not at all disappoint! You can find Kiss The Sky in the Takko Lacquer Etsy shop. The price is a bit steep at $15 but it's soooooooo worth it!

How do I even begin to describe this polish! I'll just take it straight from the creator of Takko Lacquer, Sheryl. She describes Kiss The Sky as "a blu-rple jelly lacquer with orange and green duo chrome shimmer." To me the shimmer is much more then just orange and green. Honestly, it's a bright magenta in most lighting. Then in the shade it's green. Move your had one way and it's a bronzy orange. IT'S SO AMAZING! My camera only seems to capture the magenta but I did manage to get the other colors on my phone. I seriously took about twenty pictures of my nails at random moments throughout the day. I will add the compiled phone picture at the end but be warned, it's crappy quality. I wore Kiss The Sky for three days. Three freaking days! I did not want to take it off. It even held up for a day at my job, which is a notorious mani killer. Application was great. I used two coats. I know at some angles is looks a bit sheer but it wasn't at all. This polish is crazy good.

And now for the phone picture...

Beautiful! I am so glad I splurged a bit on this polish! Really, if you can pick this up, do it. 

Don't forget about my 300 Follower Giveaway! If you haven't entered yet, you have until October 6th!

Dexter Splatterday!

Who's excited for the Dexter season seven premiere on Sunday? I know I am, obviously :P I had another post planned for today but it will just have to wait! I was inspired by Dexter's job as a blood splatter analyst! And then Dexter Splatterday was born! I was to excited to wait and post this on Sunday. Then I wouldn't be able to call it Splatterday. So I'm showing it to you all today! I really love how this turned out! This was my first time using the Revlon Colorstay polishes and I'm very impressed. I might have to pick up a few more!

I saw the Revlon Colorstay in Bare Bones and I knew I just had to get it! What the perfect polish to use as the base for my Dexter splatter! Bare Bones is more of a cool tone beige. I thought it was just the right shade of "dead". I also picked up Velvet Rope which as just a smidge darker then a typical red. The application was great. I am really in love with the brush! It's one of those rounded but flat brushes. It covers the nail perfectly. This is a great idea for a simple Halloween mani as well!

Ahhhhhhh! I can't wait till Sunday!! If you watch Dexter be sure to let me know down below! I'll probably make a Facebook status on Monday so we can talk about the episode!

Lattice Nail Art

Welcome and thank you to all my new readers! I hope you all are enjoying my blog and are excited for my giveaway! <3

I have a simple yet fun nail art for you guys today! I am way to excited for this post! Seriously, I'm in love with the way this mani turned out. It's so elegant but still packs a punch. I decided I would call this a "lattice" design. It is super easy because all you need is striping tape. Oh, and polish of course. The layout is fairly simple. It's three pieces of striping tape diagonally placed with three more placed in the opposite direction. I really love the color combo I chose!

For the base of my lattice design I used Zoya- Natty which is a dusty navy from their Fall 2012 collection. This is such a pretty color and of course has amazing formula like most Zoya's. I used two coats. The polish that really makes this design pop is Catherine Arley- 667. I applied 667 after I laid down my striping tape. It's a gorgeous smoky gray holographic polish. 667 looks awesome against Natty. It's just so, so pretty!

Aren't Catherine Arley polishes so stunning!? I can see myself doing this mani in a bunch of different color combos. Not to mention it's probably the easiest nail art I have ever done. Hope you guys like it!

Also, you guys might have noticed that I have a Born Pretty Store code listed on the side of my blog. I was contacted by them and I have agreed to review some of their products. I am in no way affiliated with the company and I will not be paid for the reviews I do or be compensated from you using my discount code. Any reviews I do for them will be my honest opinion! It was very nice of them to offer me a 10% off code for my readers to use! If you are interested, my 10% off code is JEL91. I'm pretty excited and I hope you guys are to!
