Holo Monday

Hiya!!  See what I did there, Holo Monday - like Hello Monday?  No?  Okay, moving on!  Happy Monday!!  This one's not so bad because it's the very first Family Day in British Columbia - woot woot!!  Another stat holiday to make the time between New Years and Easter not feel as long!!  There's a bunch of activities going on, but I'll likely pass - I have nails to paint and tv shows to watch!!

I'm always jealous when nail bloggers complain about their huge pile of untrieds - I mean as soon as I get a polish, it's on my digits within a week - untrieds - I wish!!  Well that has all changed within the last week.  First I told you the hubby finally listened to me when I told him no more flowers, polish only.  He went a little crazy and I've got about 30 polishes to try (25 are mini, he didn't go that crazy!!).  Then I received the most amazing nail mail from my polish sister Gini from Sassy Paints - holy crap, talk about untrieds and I even got some Butter London's - OMG, so excited!!  Then because that wasn't enough, I went to the only store in my town that sells Essence and bought 10 of them all in one go - polish problem much??  Needless to say, I have a huge pile of untrieds, but unlike some of you out there, I'm actually super duper excited to get into them!!

First up is one of the Essence's I picked up (that doesn't have a name grrrr!) and a Milani 3D holo from Gini!!  I can't believe I'm wearing green and loving it - who knew!!

True Love's Hair

Black is the color of my true love's hair...not a super fan of this one, but I've got to work tomorrow, so no redo tonight.  I love the look of matte over glitter and holo, but wanted to switch it up with doing a modified matte french manicure.  I used tape to make the straight edge.  I was inspired by Chloe's Nails and her tape tutorials, which are pretty great, check it out!

Base Coat:  Orly - Bonder
