National Chocolate Day is on October 28th, so to celebrate the occasion I did a manicure.
For this manicure I used Nicole by OPI Promises In The Dark and Nicole by OPI Carrie’d Away.
I did two coats of Promises In The Dark. I found this formula a bit problematic, very streaky. For Carrie’d Away, I did three coats.
A simple manicure that reminded me of the Hershey’s golden kisses with almonds, which are my favorite.
Autumn is here and what better way to welcome the changing of the seasons but with a manicure. I love chocolate colors and that was the first color to pop into my mind for an autumn manicure.
For this manicure I used Nicole by OPI Better After Dark. Better After Dark is a sultry brown with pink shimmer. I used two coats and topped with Seche Vite. I took some pictures using my OttLite.
I decided to add a vinyl nail decal in the shape of a leaf from Make it Stick. 
I love how this manicure turned out. I certainly am in love with Better After Dark. The formula was great and the color pay off is amazing. 
I give Better After Dark 5 brains.
The weather has been rainy and gloomy and I wanted to brighten my mood. I decided that a bright pink with a pop on the accent finger would be the best way to go.
Here is a list of what I used for this manicure:
Salon Perfect – Fired Up Fuchsia
Salon Perfect – Summer Escape
Salon Perfect – Plum Sorbet
Salon Perfect – Bermuda Baby
Milani – White One The Spot
Rica – Whiteout
Cheeky plate – CH15
I used two coats of Fired Up Fuchsia except on my accent fingers. On my left hand accent I did one coat of White On The Spot and left the right accent finger bare. For the gradient I used Summer Escape, Plum Sorbet and Bermuda Baby. I wanted to see the difference of doing the gradient on a white base and then on bare nails. I stamped the hearts image from CH15 using Rica Whiteout and topped it all off with Seche Vite.
Right hand.
Left hand.
I think my gradient came out better on my left hand. Overall, I was happy on how it came out. It definitely brightened my day.
