Fire Away.
This is Deborah Lippmann Hit me with your Best Shot with a matte accent nail. As soon as I knew this polish existed I had to have it. I love Pat Benetar and anything related to the 80s, so nail polish with a Pat Benetar theme was a no brainer! It ended up being a gorgeous gunmetal that I really love.

Fiona had a Party
This is OPI Fiercly Fiona. Just like all of the Shrek colors it was a dream to apply. Even though it is a green tinted yellow it was incredibly pigmented and very easy to apply.
I hate yellow by itself so I put on top a coat of Wet n Wild Party of Five Glitters. The combination of the two is actually one of my favourites. PoFV can liven up almost any creme.
I was apparently too bored that day, so I decided to mattify my ring finger. I don't really love matte nails, mostly because the texture gets to me. It reminds me of stonewear or chalkboard and I can't handle that, but I really love this combination matte! It looks really interesting and slightly cartoony.

And put a coat of white crackle on my thumb. I actually really love all the things that could have been done with this manicure. Each time I experimented with something new it turned out looking pretty neat. I would love to revisit this sometime and play around some more now that I have even more effect polishes!
Here is the thumb up close. I really like the effect actually! (Sorry for not cropping this last shot, my computer is being a little wonky right now)

Julie G(old) is Twisted
Here is Jesse's Girl JulieG with some accents of Nabi Crack Gold, Finger Paints Twisted, and Essie Matte Magic. I alternated so that some flakes were matte and some were shiny.
I didn't clean this mani up nearly as good as I should have, but this was just a quick cover after a long night. I do really like the gold crack over the coral of JulieG though!
