Good morning everyone!  Today I have the last two blends to share with you guys from the Armed Forces Collection by Emerald & Ash.  No bars in todays post, woot woot!  Both of todays blends are simply gorgeous!

Avon Orange Creamsicle and Emerald & Ash Deconstructed Daisy

Good afternoon everyone!  Today feels like spring and I am loving it!  Sunny and 75 equals out to a perfect day.  I have the windows open and the fresh breeze is filling my office.  The start to all of the new growth is the perfect match to todays post.  It is filled with bright cheery colors and a wonderful new indie line that is truly a must have.

Avon Electric Green and Superchic Lacquer Rockin' My Grammy Panties

Good evening everyone!  Tonight I have an oldie and a newbie to share with you guys.  Together they make a great combo for upcoming St. Patty's Day. You will be seeing Avon Electric Green and Superchic Lacquer's Rockin' My Grammy Panties.

Avon Loving Lavender and Perception Nail Lacquer Unicorn Farts

Good evening everyone!  Tonight I have some nails that look like they are straight out of Grimm Fairy Tales.  A few months back I met Amy through Mani-Mommies and shortly after meeting her she started up her own indie line with some super cute blends.  I fell in love with, hehehe, Unicorn Farts.  I quickly grabbed up a bottle and boy am I glad I did.  This stuff is gorgeous.  The holographic sparkle is perfect!  The polish it self is pretty sheer so I wanted to pair it with a matching base and Avon Loving Lavender was a perfect match.

This color was part of their spring line up.

This finish is two coats.  I could have went with a single coat but used a different base this time....

Loving Lavender is a very pretty cream base that just screams for sparkle and Unicorn Farts delivers!  They were truly made for each other.  Once I placed two layers of the Unicorn Farts I felt like I had just stepped into a Grimm fairy tale.  The glitter reminds me of something a young princess would wear to all the beautiful balls.

I love it!

The holographic finish is so soft and elegant, the perfect pair.

Now I would highly recommend heading over to Etsy and checking out Perception Nail Lacquer.  Amy is always creating new blends that are to die for.... I have more in transit as we speak.  You can also check out Mani-Mommies or Perception Nail on Facebook for up to date info.

Ok, so the new base coat I used.... Elmer's Glue!  I was hearing from many different sources that this was the perfect solution for glitter lovers and I had to try it out for myself.  Basically you use Elmer's glue as a base coat and when it comes time to change polish, you just peel it off and no damage to the nail.  Guess what, it works! I used an empty mini bottle I had laying around to put the glue into to make application easier.  I brushed on one thin coat and waited about 20 mins for it to completely dry before painting my nails.  I then proceeded like normal and still ended with my fast dry top coat.  Well here's the results.

This was all 10 nails!

I am sold on the Elmer's glue.  I only made it a full 24 hours before I had to try peeling it off but no chips in that time frame.  I am currently wearing another mani and hopefully I can make it a few more days before I have the urge again to peel it off.  So there you go, a beautiful combo and a godsend solution for glitter lovers.  I hope everyone has a great evening and will see you next time.
