31 Day Challenge: Day 8: Metallic!

I interpreted today’s theme to mean any polish that has a metallic finish. Well, I certainly had my pick! I have so many with metallic finishes, but in the end I thought a classic metallic gold would be perfect for today. I used Ulta High Roller, and I topped it with Pure Ice Gold Mist. Gold Mist is a fabulous color and if you don’t have it you should go get it right now. It’s a great layering polish.

Here’s the pics. Nothing fancy today. I was lacking inspiration, didn’t feel like taping or dotting or stamping. I was really more focused on cleaning up my cuticles, as you will see the next few days I am having troubles with this for some reason. I think it is because they are getting so dry even though I am going through cuticle oil and cuticle cream like crazy. Anyway…

No gems today! No gems for the next week either! :)

Check out the other girl’s manis today! I can’t wait to see what they came up with today since I was super simple today.

ULTA!!!

 Look at all these pretties!

Holy crap guys, I went a little crazy today (for my standards). Ulta had buy 2, get 2 free. So of course I bought 4. Then I found one of my favorite colors ever, so I had to get that. Then it kept snowballing from there. PLUS, my cousin picked up the China Glaze Hunger Games colors Riveting and Smoke and Ashes for me. Score!! :)

From left to right:

Sally Hanson | Ring-a-Ding!, Ulta | Blue Streak, Bam-Blue-zled, Plum Perfect, Indigo-go Girl, Goddess, Oh!, Scene Steel-er, High Roller, Revlon | Whimsical, Orly | Oui, and NYC Matte and Quick Dry topcoats (I got those two at Wal-Mart).

Can I just say that I have seen Whimsical swatched a dozen times, and I was all meh. It was OK, but wasn’t getting too excited about it. Until I saw it at Ulta today. They had like 5 of them. And it is AWESOME.

I’m really excited about Ring-a-Ding!, Whimsical, and Oui. I’ve been wanting Oui for a while now…:)

I also bought this today:

Tomorrow I am doing a fresh mani for me, and my mom too! I can’t wait to try these puppies out!

Thanks for reading!
