NOTD: Colorful Blossoms!

It’s the first day of spring! And we’re expecting a snow storm -____-

So I decided to combat this ridiculous weather with bright colors and colorful blossoms!

My base is two coats of China Glaze At Vase Value (it’s a little mintier and brighter in real life). Then I used OPI You Don’t Know Jacques for the branches, just free handed those with a striping brush. Then I used dotting tools and Zoya Jem, Remy and Harlow for the blossoms, a smaller dotting tool with OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby for the middle of the blossoms, and a smaller brush and Essie The More The Merrier for the leaves. Topped everything off with Essie Good to Go.

I was kinda meh about this, but it grew on me once I added Love.Angel.Music.Baby! There are a lot of colors, but I love them together. This mani is definitely brightening this very grey first day of spring. What do you guys think?

ORLY Sugar High Collection Preview!

This is ORLY’s collection for spring 2015. I’ve gotta say.. it’s not what I expected but I’m really liking it!

Left to right: Sweet Dreams, Frosting, Key Lime Twist, Cake Pop, Candy Shop, Plum Sugar.

Definitely not your typical spring collection. Love the lack of Easter colored pastels that usually come out this time of year. It doesn’t scream spring, but does have hints with Key Lime Twist (my favorite) and Cake Pop. I’m pretty excited to see swatches of these and maybe pick up a few! What do you guys think?
