Le Chat DJ Mix

Hello Lacquer Luvers! Today I have a lovely mani to share with you. I was inspired by the outfit I'm wearing today: teal shirt, jeans, & blue/teal/green flowery wedges. This teal polish is a neon which made it hard for my camera to capture the true color. It's called DJ Mix by Le Chat & I picked this one up around Thanksgiving when my sister came down to visit.

I began my manicure with a base of Essie Grow Faster. Next I applied two coats of DJ Mix by Le Chat. This polish has a pretty good formula. It's really pigmented & is completely opaque in just two coats. Like I said above, because this is a neon, my camera didn't really pick up the true color. It is a bit more green in person. I paid $1 for this at a nail supply store called Hollywood Nails.

For nail art, I stamped on an image from BundleMonster's BM224 image plate using Konad Special Stamping Polish in white. I've used this design before here. I topped my mani off with Essie's Good To Go top coat.

This manicure reminds me of Spring. I really like this shade of teal and the white stamping really does pop off the base color. What do you think lacquer luvers? Like it, love it, or hate it? Have any of you ever tried Le Chat's Dare To Wear nail polishes? As always, I hope you all liked this post my dear Lacquer Luvers and I look forward to sharing my next post with you, xo!

Sunday Spam: Bettina & Nail Art

Hello Lacquer Luvers! For today's post, I want to share some of my previous photos with you. Before I began this blog, I created my Facebook & Twitter pages where I would share my nail art with friends. I wanted to share these photos with all of you, too!

In May of 2011, I went to the Miami Beauty Show which was held at Miami Beach Convention Center. It was my first time ever going to something like this and I was so excited. At the show, there was a booth that immediately caught my eye!

I saw this pink, & all of these pretties and immediately made my way through the crowd! The only other place I have ever seen Bettina before this was on Cristina's blog, Let Them Have Polish. I was really, really excited to see that they were there and making their debut in South Florida at the show. Here's a pic of one of

the displays there:

At the show, I picked up a few of these & my only regret after coming home was not grabbing one of each one they had! I have been wanting more of them ever since I left and when I recently found out that they were being sold at a local drugstore chain, Navarro, I made my where there! Every time I go out I try to stop and get a few of these. I am happy to be seeing them more around here & hope to start seeing the newest collections in stores soon.

So, on to the photos! Some of you may have seen these, some of you may have not. Either way, I hope you all are enjoying this post =)
