Steady as She Rose by OPI – Pirates of the Caribbean with an accent nail (aka the most obnoxious form of rebelling the is allowed in my super conservative life) in Show it and Glow it. Hard to see the color because it is to pale, but I adore it.

Manic(ure) Monday: My Private Jet

Promise I wasn’t driving when I snapped this! Love this color, gunmetal with gold/bronze flake from OPI. Almost reminds me of my favorite car paint – factory black on Subarus!

Sadly, used a crappy top coat and I’m already chipped. Dual paintings in one week? What luxuries I provide for myself. What’s your favorite grey for the fingers – dark or light? I’m in a serious toss up. And yes, this is what I ponder when I’m not thinking about serious stuff. Have a great week y’all!

Manic(ure) Monday: Skull & Crossbones & A Mouse

Happy MLK Day! I had a great day off and ended the night with a big steak dinner, wine and my second manicure in past three days. Friday, I attempted a Hello Kitty manicute, ooops, I mean manicure similar to the one below from Pinterest, but couldn’t get those damn whiskers figured out. So, I went with a pale pink and an obnoxious hot pink and pearl striped ring finger. Totally hideous. 

Round two manicure for the week was inspired by the color of my mouse button. Same color! It is OPI Skull & Crossbones from the Pirates of the Caribbean line which has some great soft colors. This one is much lighter than  last week’s grey and glitter nail polish. Here’s to a light and happy week with a limited number of grey days!
