Happy Monday!!
Hope your weekend was well. Honored to be your hostess with the mostess this lovely Monday.
This week I kept my manicure a little simple because I had a crazy weekend and by the time I was able to sit down and do my nails I was two sheets in the wind mentally and physically.
This week I used:
Sally Hansen/Pumice: Orly/ Too Fab: NYC/ Matte Me Crazy
I painted with the gray, added the glitter top coat and then finished off with the matte polish. The effect is pretty neat. I wasn’t able to successfully convey it in the photo but it is completely matte and the gold flakes add a little bling against the matte polish…and yes, I probably should’ve put a little lotion on before I took this photo :-/
Time to link up. Linky will stay open until Friday. Show us what you got!!

December 5, 2012 at 7:02 amHa! I am going on vacation in a few weeks and couldn’t decide on a color. Thanks for mentioning grey. I hope they have this in Gelish. Have you ever heard of Gelish? It’s suppose to be like shellac I think…either way I am getting grey if they have it.
