I'll be your Baby Goth Girl

This manicure is two coats of MAC Baby Goth Girl.  It has a really interesting shimmer that hides when you're inside, but the flakies come out pretty strong when you go outside.

MAC polishes can definitely be hit or miss, this one I think was a hit in my book.  It was incredibly easy to apply, which I know is surprising for a MAC polish. I have definitely experienced the bad side of the brand's polish selection and this was amazingly one of the better ones.

If you look closely at my thumb you can really see the gorgeous flakies that this polish hides.  I wish all MAC polishes were as nice as this one, which has become one of my favourite vampy shades.

Peppermint in my Alfredo?

 This manicure combination was a happy surprise, and has ended up being one of my favoutite layering combinations.  I started with MAC Peppermint Patti.  I know that this polish is old news, but it still means a  lot to me.  It was my first MAC nail polish, and I payed the scalpers on ebay a pretty penny for it.  I still love it even if it looks horrible on my skin tone.

 I topped the PP with a light coat of MAC Al Fredo leaving my accent nails plain.  I like the color in the bottle, but it is so sheer that it definitely needed something under it.  I have no idea why I chose this combination, but for some reason I did.  In the end it created this really pretty green, I can't really put a finger on what to call it though,

 Outside you can see that the Al Fredo was a little patchy, but honestly I didn't care.  I liked the combination enough to deal with it and I knew that another coat would ruin the gorgeous color I'd found.

Here is my elusive right hand, and in the shade.  The yellow tones are even stronger this way and still amazing in every light.  I will have to revisit this one when I have more time and patience to try and get a nice, even look on every nail!

I gave my Concubine some Sugar

 For this manicure I wore a coat of MAC Concubine with a layer of Orly Sugar on top.  You can only really see Sugar in the right light, but it added a lot of dimension to the MAC polish.

 I was pretty disappointed with Concubine on its own, the beautiful raspberry shimmer in the bottle didn't translate to the nail nearly as well.  I decided to add a little help from one of my favourite subtle shimmers.

Inside with the flash you can see a lot of the glitter from Sugar.  I probably used two coats to even get that much reflection, but it was definitely worth it.  The polish is so thin that you can layer it over and over to get the amount of glimmer you want.  It's definitely worth picking up to spice up polishes that need a little extra oomph.
