Sinful Colors - Sanfrancisco (Bad Mani day)

This is Sinful Colors SanFrancisco...aka "rider green" (after one work day with the Seche Vite Topcoat - boo so this came off the next day due to the shrinkage).

But i'm pretty excited to find a rider green....i will be sporting this color at the Oct 17 game that i have tickets for.

Last Friday's mani & Tonight's new mani

This is my new mani...love love love it. Hopefully i got the right amount of Seche Vite and i don't have shrinkage so far so good it's been 6 hours now and no shrinkage.

Left hand...reaction to Seche Vite Top coat and OPI top coat caused the rhinestone to bleed blue.



Colors used:
Base coat - OPI - Over the Taupe
Base coat - OPI - I'm Fondue of you
Dots - OPI No Room for the blues
Top Coat - Seche Vite


Some things i noticed now...i did my nails with the same diagonal, even though i tried to do them opposite at the time. I still need to do more cleanup, but i did a much better application of polish and didn't flood my cuticles. Orange sticks don't work well for dots...next on ebay purchase - dotting tool.

Still here

My last manis have been disasters and i haven't even taken photos of them. I am trying to find the right amount of seche vite to add to the polish. I am getting so much shrinkage that my polish needs to be removed within 2 days. I have been travelling for Wed & Thur for work, so i'm exhausted. want to redo my mani but my bed is calling. I got some new polish tonight with new rhinestones and have the idea for my mani tomorrow. I'll post pics when the mani is complete. I have pics i need to download from my camera i'll have a swatch of sinful colors San Francisco - pretty stoocked as it's Saskatchewan Roughrider green. (CHL football for those not familiar with the name :)

Beautiful Blogger Award

Thank you to JQ at Flippery Digits for tagging me for the Beautiful blogger award.

Now I will write 7 things that nobody knows about me! This might be a little easy for me cause i'm new to the nail polish blogging community (edit: it's not that easy as i originally thought as i don't want to put ones that close friends know about me already.)

1. I volunteer a lot.
2. I collect coins - but only from friends and family when they travel. And the Cdn specialty quarters and just started the US quarters but those are harder to find here as i search in my coins i get as change.
3. I have been a blog stalker for years, (i subscribe and read) learning the habit of commenting now.
4.My bedroom can not stay clean for more than 2 hours. - always clothes in the baskets - clean or ones that just need folding or hanging.
5. i am a blonde somedays, even though i keep dying the hair.
6. I am an accountant, but sometimes i'm really math dumb. My cable/internet bill has me confused - i owe the roommate some money and i thought i would pay her back by paying the bill extra for the amount i owe her & it makes sense but doesn't in the same breath.
7. I'm a procrastinator.
