Some nail art

Hey all! Today I just have a quick Nail art NOTD. I used Sally Hansen Butterscotch and Hot Lava. Got both of them on sale so all-in-all, this is like a $5 mani which is pretty exciting.

Illamasqua Speckled

Sorry for the hiatus guys! I've been pretty busy with work and preparing for a trip I'm taking to Canada later this year and just haven't had the time to post any pictures for you.

Today I'm coming back with a polish that I've been lemming for since I first saw it's swatch! First though, a story. We have a very small Sephora here. It's in a JC Penney in our Mall, which is itty bitty compared to other malls. The closest dedicated Sephora was an hour away and was the one that carried all the nail polish. It was so disappointing that I could never go because I don't have time for the minimum two hour trip there an back. Imagine my excitement when I saw the Nail Station at our local, baby Sephora!! I think my friend thought I was nuts! Haha

Anyway, I picked up Illamasqua Speckled, a neat, lilac purple with small black hexes and micro glitter to give it a... you guessed it... SPECKLED look. I love it! Now, the polish is great. I used three coats for full coverage. Dry time was pretty quick. From my limited experience, I expected no less from Illamasqua!

I think my camera made the color a little more pink toned than it actually looks in person.

I'll definitely be picking up some of the other colors, mainly the mint green and the neutral cream colors. One reminds me of mint chip ice cream and the other of cookies and cream! So yummy!
