This is a simple look that I think came out really nicely. I started with a base of butter London’s Cotton Buds, then added dots in Julep Alyssa (turquoise) and Ione (violet).
Cute and cool for the summer heat! What do you think?

Saturday Swatch – Julep September 2014: Art Walk
The Art Walk collection is several cremes in rich autumn colors, a sparkly top coat, and three satin finish colors. Several of the shades are very similar to each other, but I really wanted all of them, because I was craving dark colors. I didn’t want the beauty item in the boxes this month, so I opted for the Polish Lover’s Upgrade plus an add-on.

Mani Monday – Purple Argyle
This is my first shot at doing an argyle design. The stripes are a little wonky, but otherwise, it came out pretty good, I think.
Saturday Swatch – Two Textures
I didn’t think I’d like textured polish, but I do. Yeah, it’s annoying when washing my hair because the strands get stuck in the texture, but I really like the visual effect of it. My favorite is still Zoya’s Pixie Dusts, but Julep has started coming out with some too.

Saturday Swatch – Rainbow Honey Night Sky
So what’s better for this weekend’s perigee moon and Perseid meteor shower than a polish that captures the beauty of star-spangled night sky?
Mani Monday – Cool Pool
Let’s just forget about how awful I am at blogging, okay? ♥

Week 32: Halloween
So my town does trick or treating the Saturday before Halloween, and as members of the Board of Trustees for my development, my neighbor and I give out candy and coffee at a station set up in front of our units. I had my face all done up with my new Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things palette (OMG LOVE IT, OKAY?) and my fingers decorated with Dia de los Muertos sugar skull accent nails.
Julep: October Maven Box
October’s theme was “Rebel Set,” and once again I splurged on an upgraded box. I didn’t love all the colors, but got more out of the beauty products than I expected, so it turned into a good deal.
Week 21: Green
I didn’t think I had so many greens, since it’s not a color I like on my nails. I love it in eye makeup and clothing, since I have hazel eyes, but on nails it never looks right to me somehow. But after organizing my collection, I realized I have enough to do a monochromatic color block. This took some time to do, but I really like how it turned out.
