OPI Wooden Shoe Like to Know?

I first saw Wooden Shoe Like to Know? on Pinterest and it was sooo pretty! I couldn't wait for the collection to come out so I could buy it. I finally applied it...and I'm soooo disappointed! It breaks my heart how bored this made me :( This is two coats of a not pretty brown. I didn't even care enough to clean up.

Then I looked in my untried drawer and saw this Love & Beauty polish and decided to throw it on. The label says Rose/Gold. This made me like it a whole lot more!!! It was so pretty and sparkly!

Spring PCFC Day 4: Spring Water Marble

On to day 4 of the Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge! Spring water marble. I was probably supposed to use pastels, but I'm not really a fan. Plus, I just got in my new Holland polishes. So technically, I did use spring colors, since it's from a spring collection. I started with my right hand, which wasn't very successful. 

At least the thumb looks cool. And I actually like the index finger, even if it is kinda plain. Now for the much nicer right hand.

My pinky was too close to me ring finger and part of the nails didn't get marbled. I kinda tried to hide it in this picture. Here it is strait on.

I did a test marble on a zip lock baggie and the orange kept mixing too much with the yellow and ruined the color. I decided to do a base of Zoya Pippa and then marble over it with OPI A Roll in the Hague, OPI Kiss Me on My Tulips and China Glaze White Cap. It helped with Pippa and A Roll in the Hague mixing and added a pretty shimmer to Pippa :)

Bloom.com Haul

Hiya! Today when I got home I had two packages waiting for me!

I kinda ripped right into them. How cute is that tissue paper?! Here's what was inside:

Nail Envy Original and Matte set, Zoya Lolly and Harley, OPI Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI?, I Don't Give a Rotterdam, Wooden Shoe Like to Know, Thanks a Windmillion, Kiss Me on My Tulips, I Have a Herring Problem and A Roll in the Hague. I bought a $50 gift certificate for $25 and a $40 for $20. I saved them to use for The Holland Collection. So I got all this for $47.50! Regular retail price: $111.48! I had to use each gift certificate separately, so I had to strategize to spend the whole certificate, but not go over it. That's why I got the two Zoyas. I now have all the Mod Mattes! I was trying to figure out what other Zoya to get and the description for Harley sounded pretty :) I can't wait to try out the Hollands!
