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

    LOVE the stripes! BTW...took your advice and used my Big Ruby tats for my Friday mani. First time using them and super easy! If only getting into stamping went so well! Pop over to check it out. And good luck on taxes...just did ours, too. Blech!

    Your stamping is always so perfect! So jealous! I would probably stamp more if I was good at it......

    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!

      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 :)

      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 :)

    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
