Teal Tuesday: Jelly Sandwich
It's jelly sandwich time! I don't have a teal jelly, so I had to brainstorm how to make this work. I started with a base of Blackheart Mint to Be. It's an awesome creme that glows under a black light! I'm really impressed with the Blackheart polishes I've tried out.
Then I topped it with Milani Hot Pink, OPI Don't Touch My Tutu, Essie Stroke of Brilliance and another coat of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu. I kept going back and forth on whether I liked it while I was wearing it, but I like it in the pics :)

Adventures in Stamping: Can't Wait for Fall
Usually we stamp on Sundays, but I'm bringing you a late installment. I've been super busy the past two days coordinating Welcome Week for my student organization so I didn't have time to write up the post (or take photos of it at its best). I wasn't really feeling fall colors but since it was Welcome Week and the start of the fall semester, I used my school colors!
For this mani I used Blackheart Amsterdam, Sally Hansen Whirlwind White, L.A. Colors Circuits, Sally Hansen Wet Cement, Spoiled Shuffle the Deck, Lush Lacquer Midnight Affair, Jade Magia Negra and Jade Vermelho Surreal. I used Bundle Monster plates BM322, and BM301, and Mash plates Mash 47, Mash 45, and Mash 49.

Blogger Friends Forever: Texture
Emma's second choice for her week was texture! I've done a caviar mani before, so I wanted to do something a little different. I though sugar might be cool, but knew I'd probably be sleeping with this manicure on and didn't want to invite anything to a fest while I was sleeping. Blech! So I did salt instead.

I dipped my nails in salt one by one after painting them with OPI Call Me Gwen-ever. As the pictures tell, I was kinda scared to do clean up because the salt didn't stick very well. I think this looks kinda cool, but isn't very flattering to my nub nails. It reminds me of sugared fruit. This didn't last very long because it kept catching in my hair and I wound up just rubbing them all off after a short time. It sure did spice Gwen up a little. She was kind of boring at first.

Blogger Friends Forever: Coffee
It's Emma's week! I had no idea what to do for coffee, so I looked on Google Images. I found some awesome cappuccino designs, so I decided to water marble.
I tried to replicate the cool designs, but my nails are far too short for any of the designs. I water marbled using China Glaze Mahogany Magic and Kalahari Kiss. I'm not exactly sure what's up with the middle nail, but it has some bubbles and a weird scratch or something. The pinky is by far my favorite :)
Today is all cool and rainy. These nails are perfect and make me want to go drinks lots and lots of coffee.
