Black and White and Red All Over Floral Nails

Hey, everyone! I'm kicking off the work week with a little bit of nail art in this short, but sweet post. It's what I wore for most of my first week of work at the end of last month.

I wanted to wear red and this just kind of snowballed from there! For the base, I used OPI Big Apple Red.

I tried a little something different with the flowers, more on the artsy and abstract side. What do you think?

Swatch and Review: Orly Miss Conduct

Happy Hump Day!

Sorry my posts have been somewhat inconsistent. I am now officially at my summer internship and our office is crazy busy all the time. I have to say I am so grateful for this job because I never thought, even though I love law, I'd ever be in the position as a lawyer to wake up every morning and be excited to go to work. The old saying "if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life" never appeared to apply to lawyers. But I can safely say that I roll out of bed every morning and can't wait to get into the office. It's a wonderful feeling.

I also knew it was going to be a good job when my boss was wearing lime green polish on her tips and toes. Good omen, right?

Today, I'm bringing you some Hump Day Holo in the form of Orly Miss Conduct!

Orly Miss Conduct is a magenta linear holo nail polish. It has some major pop to it and is opaque in two thin coats. The first time I wore it, I honestly got away with one!

Drool-worthy, I'd say so! What do you think of Orly Miss Conduct? I just love the name, too!

Swatch and Review: Orly High on Hope

Hello again, everyone! Thank you for sticking with me this past week. I'm getting better slowly, but surely and am able to type comfortably with my right hand again.

Today, I'm bringing you a shade I had heard a lot about from my fellow bloggers and had to go ahead and pick up myself during Ulta's Buy Two, Get One Free sale a few weeks ago. It's Orly High on Hope!

Orly High on Hope is a dusty indigo blue creme base with violet and orange shimmer. The above is with two coats.

I really lovely the level of depth that this color has. The shimmer is very prominent both indoors and outdoors and was opaque with just two coats. I also loved the fact that despite the base color leaning towards the blue side, I didn't have any issue with staining. At. All.

What do you all think of this shade?

Hump Day Holo: a-England Holo Stripes

Happy Hump Day!

I decided I wanted to be a little creative with my striping tape for Hump Day and turned to my favorite go-to holo polishes: a-England!

Eventually, I decided on my all-time favorite, St. George, and thought the purple of Lady of the Lake was a great compliment.

I placed two pieces of striping tape down and painted with Lady of the Lake first. That way, I could paint over any of the spillover with St. George.

Look at that sparkle!

What do you think of my Hump Day Holo look?
