Do You Believe in Magic?

Good morning, ladies! Well, good morning if I wasn't feeling all stuffed up and meh. My husband made me some tea this morning and we bought cinnamon bagels from Panera yesterday for breakfast today so that was most enjoyable.

Today I have some nail art for you that I'm entering in a contest being held by Lindsey at Neverland Nail Blog. Her blog is incredible and if you haven't checked it out before you should do so! The theme for the contest is "Do You Believe in Magic?" I decided to go with a Magician themed nail falling under the slight of hand category.

Colors used:
   ● ZOYA Sooki - 2 coats thumb & pinky, Ace of Diamonds
   ● CHINA GLAZE Liquid Leather - magic hat, wand, Ace of Spades, bunny accents
   ● CHINA GLAZE Snow Globe - 1 coat Pinky
   ● JULEP Emilie - 2 coats ring, middle and pointer
   ● FINGER PAINTS Papier Mâché - white on all nails
   ● OPI Skull & Glossbones - thumb magic hat accents
  ** I mixed a bit of Sooki and Papier Mâché for the pink on the bunny

So, on my nails I have a magician's top hat and wand, 2 playing cards and the bunny that comes out of the hat. I added a gold star to the top of the wand which I adore. I freehanded all of these with my brand new art brush I picked up yesterday from Michaels for $4. I am so happy with this mani, I think it's so fun! I hope you like it too.

new art brushes, yay!

Thanks for popping in!

OPI Skull and Glossbones

Evenin' girls! Today I picked a polish that matched my mood and the day, OPI Skull & Glossbones. It's been rainy and overcast and I think I have the beginnings of a cold from my husband. Oh joy... I'm making us some crockpot chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight and I just made myself a nice hot cup of tea. Mmmm.

Skull & Glossbones is a cream grey from Pirates of the Caribbean Collection from OPI. This was actually one of 5 polishes my husband has given me. The ex of one of the guys my husband works with left 5 OPI polishes behind when they split. My hubby was able to buy them all for $5 since the guy was just going to throw them away! These are actually the only OPI polishes that I own; Skull and Glossbones, Steady as She Rose, Sparrow Me the Drama, Stranger Tides and Black Shatter (almost the whole collection!).

This is 2 coats of polish topped with Seche Vite. I'm sorry about the small cut on my finger, I nicked myself cutting up vegetables the other day.
