Feature Friday - Floamy Stripes

Make sure you get entered into my Facebook giveaway for Layla Flash Black...ends Sunday!  I'll be showing you a swatch of this polish next week, so I'll skip those details.  I'm not really crazy with how this turned out.  I started with my SH Double Duty as a base, and added two coats of Floam by Nail-Venturous.  Since Floam is a top coat eater, I did two coats of SV.  Then, I taped off some stripes and painted on one coat of SC's Black on Black.  Unfortunately, since the Floam base was still a little rugged despite two thick coats of SV, the stripes look a little wonky.  Oh, well.  Lesson learned.  Have a great weekend, everyone!

I'm Swatchin' You - Blue Cross Doubloon

Good morning everyone!  Today I have a glitter for you.  This is one of those "I bought it so long ago, I have no idea where or when" pollies.  This is actually a Blue Cross glitter.  The label says "Blue Cross Beauty Prod., Inc." and the name is listed as Doubloon.  It is basically iridescent bar glitter in a clear base.  It actually goes on quite easily.  I didn't have to do a lot of pushing the glitter to get it in place.  And you know me with my swatches.  I didn't want to layer it so you could see it au naturale.  And after just one coat of top coat, it's relatively smooth.  I'm guessing I've had this one since the late 80s or early 90s.

SH Double Duty and SH Insta-Dri as base and top.
