Springy Flowers

Did you all have a good weekend?  I was non-stop and I'm paying for it this morning.  A service organization I'm a member of had a work day and we dug holes for a retaining wall, scraped and painted a porch, removed debris and tons of yard waste all for an 80 year old woman that just couldn't do it anymore.  It waas so satisfying although I could only help for a few hours.  Worst part? The news station interviewed me. It was like my worst nightmare came to life.

Anyways,  I have a ome floral nails for you today.  I tend to gravitate towards purples and lavenders, so that's what I grabbed here. This is probably one of my top favorite polishes, OPI Do You Lilac It? and OPI My Vampire is Buff.  I just freehanded on some dots and stripes,  and topped with the flowers on two nails. It was really kind of boring and flat, so I added a topcoat of Essie's Pure Pearlfection to give it a light shimmer.




Sunday was great until about 4 pm hit. Then the skies opened up, the wind kicked up into overdrive and now it is supposed to rain for the next like 10 days. Good thing I snapped this while I still had some sunshine!

Have a great Monday!

Day 20, Flowers for the February Challenge

Guess what?  It was so warm the past two days!  Like, when it broke 40 degrees,  I thought that I would break out the shorts, open the windows and get a tan. Ok, not really,  but it was close.

So just in time for the warmer weather,  today's prompt is flowers!  I picked up this beauty from Sally's the other day, when Orly was on sale.  Its a beautiful pale blue milky base with light blue micro glitter,  copper glitter and holographic glitter.  I knew I wanted to use this as the base, so I then put coral roses on top.




So this is Milky Way by Orly, and Live. Love. Carnival from OPI. Please forgive me for all the pictures,  but I was having too much fun and couldn't decide which ones to keep or toss. I was  ad though that I could barely capture the holo glitter.









Milky Way was a little difficult to use. The formula was really thick and gloopy. I had to add quite a bit of thinner to it before I could use it well. 

I'd love to hear you thoughts... I definitely feel so girly in this mani, ha!

Have a wonderful day,  and hopefully it's warm where you are!
