I wanted to share a manicure I did using two polishes from Orly’s Spring 2013 Hope and Freedom Collection, Boho Bonnet and Peaceful Opposition.

I’m a sucker for blues and when I saw Boho Bonnet I feel in love with it.  It is a blue/grey crème.  It went on like a dream; the formula was perfect.  I used two coats.  On my middle finger I used Peaceful Opposition.  This is a silver glitter packed in a milky white polish.  I loved the look but application was a bit difficult.  I expected that with such a packed glitter polish.  But the effect of it was lovely.  I tried my hand at doing a glitter gradient on my thumbnail that came out ok but I need to practice that technique.  I tried to capture the manicure under different light.  Pardon the nubs but I have been struggling with a lot of breakage and just chopped them all off out of frustration.

Since we are in February and love is still in the air, I decided to do some Valentine stamping.  I used Winstonia W102 plate.

I give Orly’s Boho Bonnet 5 brains.

I give Orly’s Peaceful Opposition 4 brains.
