I picked up this pretty polish a week ago and had to put it on that same night. The little particles in the polish reminded me of flakie polish, so I added a flakie accent to the manicure.

I wanted to wear this blue for a long time and love it! Then I couldn't decide which glitter polish to put over it, so used one on each hand.
** Yo quería llevar este azul hace mucho tiempo y me encanta! Entonces yo no podía decidir qué brillo de uñas para poner sobre ella, por lo que utilizó uno en cada mano.

Love & Beauty - Avocado was a recent purchase, and once  I saw it I knew I had something similar - Sinful Colors - Adventure Island.  They are both gorgeous and shiny in two coats! I tried (and failed) to add some nail art, but didn't like it, so I only wore this manicure for about 8 hours.
** Love & Beauty - Avocado fue una compra reciente, y cuando lo vi supe que había algo similar - Sinful Colors - Adventure Island. Los dos son magníficos y brillantes en dos capas!

 I recently purchased some nail polish from Forever 21, and decided to try out this pretty color. It applied wonderfully and dried to a glossy finish. Before starting my manicure I played with ideas for nail art and came up with one, but it required lines - which I cannot draw well on the nail - so I used dots instead!
**   Recientemente he comprado un esmalte de uñas de Forever 21, y decidió probar este bonito color. Se aplica maravillosamente y se seca para un acabado brillante. Antes de comenzar mi manicura jugaba con ideas para el arte de uñas y se acercó con una, sino que requiere líneas - que no puedo dibujar bien en uñas - lo que utiliza puntos en lugar!


This was my inspiration, but I can't draw straight lines:

Love and Beauty - Green and a jelly sandwich!

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2 before glitter, 1 after glitter
TOPCOAT?: Yes
SOURCE: Forever 21 store last year, Glitter from Ulta (Ulta - Pinata Yada Yada)
COMMENTS: This is one of the colors my hubby bought me when we went to get a gift card for a niece last year. I've tried wearing it on it's own, but didn't like the way it looked. Now I've found a fabulous way to wear it though! My jelly sandwich = 2 "slices" of color, 1 "slice" of glitter, and a final "slice" of color. Love it! Um yeah, and I took a lot of photos....



Not such a flattering color on its own (2 coats):


Add glitter (One coat of Ulta - Pinata Yada Yada):


And one more coat of color:






Look at all the fun possibilities!!!  These are all with 1 coat color, 1 coat glitter, 1 coat color.
