What Are You Wearing on Your Nails?

April 28th, 2011 by Karen 65 Comments

Rise and shine, morning glory. 🙂 I’m working some China Glaze action today with Pelican Gray on my fingers and Starboard on my toes. Both colors hail from the Anchors Away Spring 2011 collection.

Starboard

How about you? What are you wearing on your nails?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I love the Anchors Away collection too! I’m wearing Life Preserver topped with White Cap on my toes this week. Starboard is my favorite cream from the collection, and I luuuuvvv White Cap, both as a layering polish and as a mani. I lay down 1 coat of a soft peach or nude for opacity, and follow with 3 coats of White Cap. She shimmering sparkling magic makes me feel like Glenda the Good Witch!

    On my fingers I used ELF Lilac as a base and put Butter London’s No More Waity, Katie over it. Love the way it looks! And on my toes I’m wearing Sephora by OPI in Caliente Coral from their Havana Nights mini collection.

    Nothing on my nails right now, they were peely and sad so I’m giving them a break from polish for a few days. On my toes I’m wearing some bright blue Sephora line polish. I love that Anchors Away collection, I really need to track a few of the colors down!

    I have to sing the praises of Ulta brand nail polish 🙂 I have been wearing it since Sunday and I type every day at work and it still looks perfect. It was 2 for $4 the day I bought it. the color today is Jaded, a shimmery green/blue. So lovely.

    Hi ya, Karen!

    I am home in bed with an abscessed tooth (it’s the worst thing in the world, but Percocet is making me a sleepy camper), and I am dying to use the nine new Zoyas I got in the Earth Day exchange.

    Right now I have Chanel Dragon on my nails (that is such a PIMP color- love it), and Mimosa on my toes. It’s the perfect pedi color.

    Now I am just trying to figure out my mani and pedi for my college graduation on the 7th! (If my face isn’t still swollen, that is….) 🙁

    I’m wearing OPI’s OPI Red. I don’t wear red much, but I just love the way glossy red nail polish looks on nails. I’m getting bored of it though. I’ll probably slap some glitter on it because I’m too lazy to change it, haha.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
