Sienna loves the Orioles

Since it is baseball season (again) I figured I would show you one of my favourite Orioles manicures that I have done.  This was last year, for my best friends son's first baseball game. I used Zoya Sienna for my nails and then used Wet 'n Wild Black for the O and my micro french tips.  I adored this manicure.  If I had to wear one design for the entirety of the season it would be this.

Here is an image of it turned on it's side so you can see the O in the right direction.  Sienna is the perfect Orioles orange.

I really like the little mini french manicure look too, it's just enough black to add some depth, but not so much that it gets too dark.

The shimmer in Sienna is wonderful in the sun, it glistens and sparkles.  I'm not usually a glass fleck lover, but this one has definitely won me over.

I might have taken a few too many pictures of this manicure, but I love it so much.  What's better than combining my love of baseball and polish?

Here you can see the dreaded right hand.  The lines are much sloppier and not nearly as consistent.  But overall it's not horrible.

And one inside shot to show you the glass flecks in a flash, they definitely come out a little more, but are sadly more flat.  The sun really does this polish good.

M-I-C-K-E-Y mouse

 Sorry for the quality of these pictures and these nails!  I was on vacation and had so many chips after a week of surf nails that I needed a change.  I ended up buying remover pads from my hotel gift shop and they weren't very strong.  I ended up leaving the non chipped nails intact and just redoing the horrible ones.

I decided to use Funky Fingers Zeppelin and Wet n Wild Black for a semi half moon manicure.  It came out better in my head, but I didn't have any art brushes so I had to use the large one in the bottle.

Take me out to the ball game.

This is a quick, not very clear, extra blog for Sunday.  I am going to the Oriole's game for my close friend's birthday and I had to share my manicure.  This is Wet n Wild Black with Lynnderella Cauldron Drippings and an accent of Color Craze White and Orly One Night Stand as baseballs.  I don't know if I will be able to get better pictures of this manicure since my beloved camera has no battery and my charger is missing at the moment, but I had to share this with everyone.

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)

I got a Peridot for my Birthday!

Well, my birthday is tomorrow.  Last year my best friend Steph got me Chanel Peridot!  This is one coat of Peridot over Wet n Wild Black.

I could not be more in love with this color.  I know a bunch of dupes have come out recently, but there is something special about the original.  Plus, Chanel is so luxurious it makes me feel incredibly fancy just to own a bottle!

All in the Cut of Hot Chocolate

 My titles are getting more and more bizarre, aren't they?  This manicure is Orly Hot Chocolate with accents topped with Wet n Wild It's all in the Cut.

I went to about five different drug stores to find the Wet n Wild color icon collection, and when I finally found it I was so excited I picked up all eight!  They are gorgeous for layering though, and I definitely don't regret it.

I really like the contrast of the light lavendar glitter over the rich chocolate brown.  The colors are different enough to really pop when layered.

I haven't quite gotten the hang of holding two bottles at a time yet.  After finding this picture I knew I had to share it, it's too awkward to ignore.
