I really like how this turned out. It was one of those can't stop staring manicures. In fact it was a can't stop feeling manicure as well. I did the same designs on the opposite hand as well.









As you can see, I'm a little derpy trying to hand model (hahahaha) for you with my dominant hand. I just couldn't get my fingers to line up right. Trying to take pictures with the opposite hand wasn't so easy either.

:-/ Sorry for the blurriness.





Overall, I like this look. The texture still weirds me out, but I like it in a strange way. Also, the purple is just such a gorgeous color.





What do you think about texture finishes? Yay or Nay?





Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

I've been on the fence about the whole texture polish thing. I have a few girlfriends who absolutely love it, but I've still been kind of wary about the whole thing. It seemed like a fad but I think it might be around to stay. Everyone is releasing collections, and I'm kind of in love with the whole OPI Bond Girls Collections (the colors at least).I bought OPI's Can't Let Go from the Mariah Carey Collection forever ago, but it took me a while to work up the courage to try it out. And could I try it out like normal people and just wear it plain? Absolutely not...I wanted to see how it stood up in a design. So I got to playing in the sand.For this design, I started off with a base coat of China Glaze Whimsical. This is a really pretty neutral duochrome that I thought paired well with the deep purple of Can't Let Go. Here it is with 3 thin coats on it's own.I like this polish, it would be great as a neutral wear on its own, but if you aren't careful the brush strokes show. Next I layered in striping tape in different designs, then quickly brushed on 2 coats of the Liquid Sand polish. The result was great.
