Twilight/Honey Coated Combo

Everything in the DFW area was closed today due to ice and snow so I had a chance to snap a picture of my manicure. Its 3 days old now but the tip wear is fairly minimal.

I'm really thinking about using my Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Blue Ice. It's an appropriate color for today now that I think about it! My husband and I are both stuck at home and starting to get stir crazy. I can only watch so much TV and there is a good chance we might be stuck at home again tomorrow! AHHHHHH! Any suggestions on how to keep ourselves entertained?

Also, be sure to visit Beauty by Brittany...today is the last day to enter her fabulous giveaway! I would LOVE to try out the color changing polishes from Mood Struck!

Procrastination

What should I do on a lazy Sunday afternoon when I have the hugest test of my life looming in my near future??? Paint my nails of course!

Ok...so I started with the best intentions (notice my notes spread across my desk) but my office is also my polish room so it's easy to get distracted. For some reason I decided to dig out some oldies out of my stash (Ok...so Mr. Wrong is a new edition but the rest are old as crap):

(From left to right: Milani Honey Coated, Sally Hansen Wildfire Opal, Hard Candy Mr. Wrong, Sally Hansen Garnet Lapis, and Revlon Twilight.)

After a few days of Purple Rain I was ready for something a little more subtle. I tried some layering which turned out disastrously ugly and I won't bother posting them. However, although Honey Coated is kinda bland in normal light in the sunlight it suprised me with a blue flash!

The sun went down before I could take a picture of my final manicure but it was umpteen coats of Honey Coated (it was very sheer and I can't function with VNL) with one coat of Twilight on top.

It turned out to be a very luminous, glowy, pink. I'm not a pink kinda girl but I'm really loving it!

What unexpected laying combinations have you created?
