May #30DaysofColourChallenge - MATTE/STAMPING

This is a month long swatch challenge for May, a total of eleven manicures!

Today's mani choices are matte and or stamping.  Stamping is not my thing...I should probably do some practicing.  I like matte with certain colours and I think OPI's No Room For The Blues is one of them. It was originally a part of the 2009 Bright Pair from Paige Denim collection, but is now part of the core collection.   I just used Essie's Matte About You to make it matte ;)

May #30DaysofColourChallenge - HOLO/WATER MARBLE

This is a month long swatch challenge for May, a total of eleven manicures!

Today's manicure is holo and or water marble.  I don't like doing water marble at all...to me it just seems like a messy waste of time.  Some people do it beautifully, not I.  So here is my linear holographic...it is KB Shimmer's PT Young Thing and it is part of the 2014 Early Summer collection.  It was opaque is just about one coat, but as always I did two.  It is gorgeous!!
