Mmmm Nails Between The Buns

Hi everyone. I know it's late but I wanted to post today. I have a beautiful duochrome from Mmmm Nails. It's called Between The Buns. It's mainly a heavy golden shimmer with copper shift depending on the lighting. The formula on this one was a little too thick but a couple drops of nail polish thinner had this polish gliding onto my tips with ease. It was so hard to capture it's true beauty on camera. Here's what I got.



 
You can find Between The Buns in MmmmNails etsy shop for $6.99

Orly Dark Shadows Collection

Early this year Orly came out with a collection inspired by a movie released called Dark Shadows. The movie was a remake from the Dark Shadows TV show. Dark Shadows was an American gothic soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC  from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. Even though This polish collection was released in the spring, I thought it was more color appropriate for the fall.
 
 
Decades of Dysfunction
 

 

Decades of Dysfunction is very pale flesh toned creme with a slight hint of pink. It's the color of the undead. Formula was great. I used 3 coats.
 
Grave Mistake
 

 
Grave Mistake is a blood red creme. Again, it had an awesome formula. I used 3 coats.
 
 
Buried Alive
 
 
 



 
Buried Alive is a warm chocolate brown with a gold fleck finish. I absolutley love this one. Wonderful formula. I used 3 coats.
 
 
Mysterious Curse
 


 
 
Mysterious Curse is beautiful duochrome that shifts from a navy blue to royal purple. It's shift was amazing. I wish I could have captured it in its true form. I used 2 coats on this one.
 
 
Overall, I think this collection was a win for me considering I got it for almost nothing at Sally's.

NOTD: Pure Ice Oh Baby!

For today's manicure (that I did last night) is of Pure Ice Oh Baby! Its a duochromatic microglitter topcoat. I used it over Finger Paints Tough Art To Follow which is a deep forest green. Tough Art To Follow was a bit thick and streaky so my mani took forever to dry even with a coat of Seche Vite. The sun was in and out today but everytime I went to take pics it hid behind the clouds. Oh Baby really is a gorgeous topcoat. It flashes teal, blue and purple. As hard as I tried I just capture the purple in my pics. I didn't get to take my pictures until I got out of work today. As you can see below, I have some considerable tipwear.
