Which Way Wednesday

Good Evening All....It is Wednesday  :)
I started tonights Which Way with a base coat of China Glaze Crimson....I am not real sure what color to call this one, it is beautiful, very vampy.  But I am not sure if you would call it a red or a purple????
Anyway, here is the entire Cast of Characters....




I just love this paisley image  :)
Here is #1.... It almost looks black, but it's not!!!

#2 Stamped with two of the China Glaze Bohemian Collection and IP BM-315, regular TC applied...


#3 It was hard to do something "different" to this one, so I opted to use a matte tc.....


You can see the image much better with the matte, I don't know which one that I like the best...I like them ALL  !!!  What do you think???

Thank you all sooo much for stopping by tonight, I know how life can get in the way....it has a hold on me right now, so it seems like I can only comment and "lurk " around everyone's blog on the weekends :(
Have a blessed evening........Jackie

Which Way Wednesday

Good Evening All.  It is Wednesday!!! I got some of the 99cent Sinful colors and that is what I used for tonites Which Way.
I started with a base coat of SC Last Chance, a deep, deep green.  I think I am beginning to like green too  :)







 I couldn't seem to get the color correct in the pics tonite, no matter how hard I tried  :(  This one is pretty accurate, although it is gorgeous IRL.
IP Mash -48 and SC Moss Have were used for the stamping....

This is how I wore it today for work, got several compliments!!!

Then I decided to add a half moon and a matte top coat.....

Once I did this it looked BLACK!!!!!  I still liked it , but really liked the green :(

Soooo, Which Way do you like it????   Although it looks black, I prefer it with the matte top coat.
Have a very blessed evening, thanks for stopping by .......Jackie

Which Way Wednesday

Good Morning All...It is Wednesday!!!!
I wore just color yesterday, LAC Festive and decided to turn it into my WWWednesday mani....
Cast Of Characters....sorry about the blurriness of some of the pics.....don't know why, crazy camera  :(





 Festive ...
Some one in AIS said that the magnetic polishes were good for stamping, so I decided to try it....worked like a charm......
Then I had this "bright" idea to try to do a diagonal french tip........not a good idea.....
Tooo shiny for me :(   Sooo I used a matte to coat....alittle better now, especially since I have to wear this to work today :(
  Soooo, which way do you prefer this mani....if any way at all!!!   LOL
Have a blessed Wednesday, I am keeping my fingers crossed that my new IP's from Llarowe arrive in time for my next mani..........Jackie

Fireworks!!

Hello All!!!  I have Fireworks for you tonight!!!
The base coat for this mani is LA Colors Wired, a pretty blue, but it took 3 coats...and still wasn't opaque on the tips :(

It seemed tooo "shiny" for me...so I matted it...:)


I LOVE  it matte!!!! But I wanted to make it 4th of Julyish soooo, I stamped with Konad red and white using IP SH13.  And added top coat,  so it was shiny again :(

Looks like fireworks doesn't it???
Every one have a great holiday, be safe  :)  Thanks for stopping by.    Jackie

To Matte or Not to Matte

Good Evening All!  I am doing the happy dance...my week is over  :)
I did a mani last night and decided to see how it would look matte. I took photos both ways, and I couldn't tell too much difference :(
I did my usual base coat and then 2 coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Fairy Teal. I love the shade, nice and cremey,  but it is a" you know what" to remove.  My nails and my skin were  GREEN!!!  You all know how much I dislike green.  I took me a long time and alot of work to get it off...but the green is now gone!!

These are the photos with Out the Door Topcoat.  I used IP M63 with the Sally Hansen Color Quik  pens in the blue and gold chromes.



And now with Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love.



Can you tell a difference?  I can maybe a faint amount, perhaps it is just the shade of polish that I chose.
I will be posting  the giveaway details on Tuesday....I have a couple more things I want to pick up and I have to wait for payday...LOL.
Have a good evening and thank you for stopping by!
