Plum and Gold

Hey, happy Monday!

Did you have a good weekend? Mine was great- we had an awards banquet for an organization that I'm a member of on Friday,  and the DH's birthday was this weekend too, so, shocking- we visited a new brewery about 40 minutes away.  (It was awesome).

I did this nail look for the awards banquet for Friday.  I didn't want to be too crazy, so I stumbled upon a similar look on Pinterest.  I tried to find the original source of this, but the links are dead. If anyone knows, comment below so I can give proper credit.

Their look was black and gold, but I love, love, LOVE OPI'S Do You Vant to Bite My Neck, and I wanted to do something less harsh. The gold I used a dotting tool and my favorite accent gold polish, Maybelline Bold Gold.  I swear by that polish. It's fantastic.  I did do a few dots of a lighter purple on my left hand, and I didn't really care for it, but it wasn't too noticeable.

Classy, but with a punch. Kind of like me.  =)

Have a great day ladies!

It's Very Purpley

I totally fail. I have an excuse though.  My Hawkeyes won on Saturday so now we are bowl eligible! I may or may not have drank for 13 hours straight that day.  Hmm.

Anyways,  you all know I have a thing for purple polish.  I'm not sure what inspired me to mix it with gold,  but I LOVE it!

I've got so many purples here that it's probably better for me to start with the gold.  It's Maybelline Bold Gold... I saw someone else using this as their preferred stamping gold,  so I picked it up. I agree.  It's a great stamper.  Get it.

My middle finger has Pueen plate #42 with a base of OPI Do You Vant to Bite My Neck.  Vant to Bite is also the base for my pinkie finger. The gold glitter on the pinkie is Zoya Maria-Louisa.

For the ring finger,  that is OPI I'm Feeling Sashy and then I cut scotch tape with chevron scissors and it's colored in with Bold Gold.

On my pointer and my thumb (even though it's not pictured) is OPI Pamplona Purple... Which has turned into one of my new favorites. The glitter on top is an old Sephora by OPI that I got when they closed out the collection.

I'm such a nerd.  I wore a purple sequined top today that matched my pointer fingers perfectly.

Thoughts?  I think I'm getting better at stamping,  but still need some  practice.
Did I mention we got snow today? Snow. Ugh.  So it begins...
