I was out all last week on work in Chicagoland (and with long 12hr days my time to run around and shop was severely limited), so it's taken me the weekend to catch up on rest (never works no matter how hard I try!) and prep for my next big getaway (visiting family and fly-fishing in Alaska from July 13-24th!).
I don't normally do a lot of travel each year, so this year is a big change for me (Vegas in Jan, Vegas in April, Chicagoland in June, Alaska in July, California in October, Texas in November, and who knows what else!). I'm also horrible at packing light so that doesn't help either when airlines hit you hard on limits of weight and bags you can bring.
Anyway, getting back to the manicure.
I started with a non-B3F mani of OPI Deer Valley Spice (smelly polish, not for the faint of nose):
Then decided to make it 4th of July related!
Tools:
Creative #217 Moonbeam
OPI Blue Shatter
OPI Deer Valley Spice
I used Poshe (a quick drying top coat that doesn't always work well for me) but for this mani, and considering I don't think the Creative was B3F it helped keep it all together. Today I've had minor chips, but overall wear for me has been better than normal.
I'm happy with this, wanted to incorporate the blue shatter into a design but realized I had no red shatter to use with it!
