Blue Monday  By Annie Lee

Good Morning on this Blue Monday, It's back to wooorrk!  I have been lemming Essie's Starry Starry Night for a very long time.  My hope is still alive.  One day she will be mind.  

Essie Starry Starry Night

But, in the mean time I frankened my very own. Her name is 'Blue Lightning Bolt'

This picture is too bright

I used a blue/silver fine pigment glitter.  Don't remember where I got it from but it is super super gorgeous.  I filled the bottle with some clear polish and dumped in the glitter.  Added about 10 drops of Maybelline's Twinkle Twinkle.  Then I added about 5 drops of SH Nail Prism: Burgundy Orchid which is a purple/burgundy duochrome.  Sure can't tell I added it in there but, when I hold the bottle up to the light I can see just a hint of purple...maybe. 

 It is a jelly too!  After applying the 2nd coat didn't seem too jelly.  Maybe I should add more clear.

I love it so much!  I'm very well pleased *-*

Looks pretty close huh...

I'm looking at this picture and my nails look so long.  Not! My nail tips are just peeking over my nailbeds.  Macro sure can be deceiving sometimes.

See the underside of my nails not long at all

So, How did I do?  Is it close to Starry Starry Night?  You be the judge.  I had lots of fun making Blue Lightning Bolt.  

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Zoya Megan

As you all probably know, Zoya offered a BOGO sale last week.  Due to this sale, I decided I'd finally pick up Zoya Megan, a polish I'd long wanted (simply for the name), but never purchased, as it looked so boring.  I'd seen no pictures of it, and Zoya has yet to offer a spoon, so I expected it to be a thin, streaky mess.  However, I must say... I'm pleasantly surprised. 

Zoya Megan is a pale, creamy ivory with a milky finish.  This is 3 coats of Megan, and it's still a bit sheer, though it's not at all streaky.  Okay, so it's not my normal color, but it's a good neutral and would make a great work-safe color.  It was also make a pretty base for a konad.
