Green For Luck

I planned on leaving my burnt orange polish on until at least today but alas I failed. I did my nails Sunday night so I have been itching to change my polish since Tuesday. I tried to trick myself and put a matte top coat on, so I could pretend I had done a whole new manicure.


Nubar Orange Glitter w/China Glaze's Matte Magic

My trick did not work I remained unconvinced, so I changed my color this morning.


I was feeling green but could not make up my mind. So first I tried Rescue Beauty Lounge's Recycle, which is awesome and looked great in one coat but I wasn't sure it was the right color for today.

My next attempt was with China Glaze's Emerald Sparkle, but I think I was all glittered out cause it wasn't working for me.


Emerald Sparkle

Finally I tried Sally Hansen's Emerald City and it just felt right, whooo finally.



I felt a little like a traitor for taking off my burnt orange before the game. Then I thought green is for good luck. So I am wearing green to bring my team good luck. So yeah traitor feelings no more (I like lying to myself it makes me feel better).

Hook 'Em Horns

This week I am rocking a burnt orange manicure in support of my Longhorns playing for the national title. I am soooo excited about the game. Can't Wait!!!

So I meant to take pictures outside yesterday but I didn't get to and today is really overcast. I mean come on I live in San Antonio, we have sunshine like probably 350 days of the year, well damn that's what I get for procrastinating. Also it's freezing here, well at least to my South Texas mind it's freezing. Anyway I took pics outside even if it was gross and cold.

I am actually pretty impressed by this nail polish, two coats covered my nail really well considering it's really just a lot of glitter suspended in clear nail polish I think that's pretty impressive. A little part of me is dreading having to take this off though cause glitter polish is sparkly and amazing but a pain in the ass to remove. Anyone have any tips for glitter removal? Hook 'em Horns!!!!
