My Lucky Tax Day Mani!!



Morning! Today Jack and I will be getting our taxes done and I wanted a fun mani for the occasion, lol. *fingers crossed in hopes of getting a good amount back* 
I had purchased Orly Fowl Play a few months ago, and had yet to wear it as a full mani, so last night while watching Drive with Jack, I got started on my tax day mani :)
I started with 2 pretty thick coats of Fowl Play. There are so many colors in this, it's amazing. The multiple colors appears more in direct light and sunlight. Otherwise it appears as a darker purple, but you can still see the flakes. I just love this polish!!







Here it is in just normal indirect light. Still so pretty!





Then I wanted some stripes, so I used Claire's 14 Karats and BundleMonster plate BM20

  6. Love the mani! I am in search of the perfect Valentine mani using Revlon Hot for Chocolate with reds or pinks. I teach Pre-K and have lots of room to have fun, as I do many fun nail designs. My family and my coworkers love it also! Please help me come up with the perfect fun Valentine design. Thanks!

    1. I would use the REvlon as teh base, and if you have any pink or red chrome polishes, I would stamp some lips, or hearts on top :)

    1. Thanks!!! I really don't do much. I oil them up a few times a day, and every time, I follow with just pushing them back with my pointer nail from then opposite hand :)

  24. Hi! These stripes reminded me of the magnitic polish mani I did tonight. Have you experimented with magnetic polish? If you haven't, you should, it's pretty cool. I bought mine off ebay, and I think your followers might be interested. Keep up the good work! <3
