NOTW: Rescue Beauty Lounge

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Mine felt both short and long - short because it was only 2 days off; long because I spent most of it cooped up in my apartment, thanks to the SEPTA strike. There's a chance that it may be over tonight/tomorrow, but nothing official. The strike is over, so I'll be able to get around the city on my own again! I was feeling sick over the weekend as well, so I slept and napped quite a bit. I did manage to paint my nails with the Rescue Beauty Lounge nail polish over the weekend, and I really like the formula!

Catharine and Carol mentioned that they wanted to see Scrangie, so here you go ladies! This isn't something I could wear all the time, but I really love the colors - the iridescent purples and blues are gorgeous! I think I had something similar to this a long time ago, but Scrangie is more purple than the shade I had. This was after 3 coats; the nail polish applies a bit on the sheer side, but the coats dry fast and are pretty uniform.

Of course I couldn't help but try out the Matte Top Coat on top of Scrangie - it's so much fun to see how the nail color changes with a top coat! Though the shimmer is gone with the matte topcoat, you get a hint of all the colors underneath and the color is still very purple.

MG isn't afraid of nail polish either, so I painted his nails black and used the Matte Top Coat to finish. He's not a fan of how glossy nails are right after a manicure, so the matte coating was perfect for him.

It's back to the grind tomorrow...thankfully there's a day off in the middle of the week for Veteran's Day :) I've been working on some new pieces for Cady Nation as well, so stay tuned for new things soon! Everything on my site now is 20% off, so take a look for some early holiday gifts! If you're planning on requesting a custom piece of jewelry for the holidays, please contact me sooner rather than later (I have gifts that I need to plan for family and friends as well!) :)

I love matte top coat! they are so versatile and very practical too, instead of buying individual bottles of matte polishes. My bf never lets me try out nail polishes on his hands! lol

yay can't wait to see what you've created for cady nation! and hopefully next week will be better for you and that the strike will end soon!!!

I have a confession to make: I wanted to make a Korres haul today since they are having a F&F sale on their website right now. and I needed ideas on what to get. So guess whose blog I came to? Yours! lol...cuz I know you are a Korres lover just like me <3 I bought a lip butter (never tried that before) and a bunch of other lippies for xmas presents :) so I don't feel AS bad making the purchase since not everyhtingm's for myself right? right? hehehehe :p

Hope you had a great weekend sweetie!

The colour looks gorgeous!! I love matte nails with slightly chunkier shimmer/glitter. The matte base brings out the shimmer more =]

And woot! I bet MG will rock out those black nails! =P

I prefer glossy shimmery glittery nails for myself but. It's understandable for a guy to shy away from all those things hahaa
