31 Day Challenge: Day 2

Today's challenge is to use the color orange, and I honestly didn't know if I should keep it simple or get creative.  So I just kept it simple and easy peasy.

I'm using OPI A Roll In The Hague from the Spring/Summer 2012 Holland Collection (which happens to be the newest polish I own).  Gotta say, it wasn't my favorite polish to apply.  It was a tad thick, however, it smoothed out nicely once it dried.  The end result was muy bueno!  I topped it off with Essie As Gold As It Gets (a gold flake in clear base) from the Luxeffects Holiday 2011 Collection.  I just love As Gold As It Gets!

Yay!  We have acheived Orange!

I finally got my paws on Essie's "Shine of the Times"!  This is a fantastical opalescent glitter flake that Essie came out with for its 2011 Holiday Collection.  In some light it looks blueish or purple and in other light it looks goldish pinkish, and I LOVE IT!  It goes on so easily and every stroke gives a good amount of flake.  In this combination, I'm using Essie "Who is the Boss" as a base from the Essie Wedding 2012 Collection (more on that collection to come).

I'm also so excited about my latest purchase:  three awesome polishes from The Hungry Asian (from Etsy).  That girl sure does glitter right!  I got these three little minis in the mail today.  Behold:  "u jelly?", "Sneeze Breeze", and "Vote for Purple".  Check back for swatches!
