Friday Night Girls-Night-In Mani & Pedi

So last night my best friend, Emily, and I had a Friday night Girls-Night-In and had a mani/pedi-a-thon with the new Zoyas I got. While we were doing this we had Heathers playing in the background.

Has anyone seen this movie? We rented it because it is a 'cult classic' comedy and we thought it would be good for a laugh. I don't think this should have been in the comedy section at all. It was rather dark.

Anyway, onto the polish!

First up is Pru. A warm pink with gold shimmer. Very beautiful. Below is 2 coats. These pics were taken on the fourth day!

see all that shimmeriness?

this one is the best to how it looks IRL

I read somewhere recently that 2 basecoats is better than one, so I am going to start doing that from now on. I used Zoya's a coat each of: ridge filler, anchor, the polish (2 coats), armor, and hurry up drops. This mani lasted to 5 days without looking horrible!

Em liked Pru so much on my nails, she wanted them on hers! So here's her pics. Mind you, they were taken at like midnight last night so the lighting isn't spectacular. (these are all precleanup pics)

blurred to show the shimmeriness!

WARNING TOES!!!
I feel that I have to do that now, just in case some are squimish about toes.

Here's Em toes with 2 coats of Salma. A lovely color!

Here's my mani. Lovely, bright Sienna. This is 3 coats and you can still see the VNL. I think next time I wear this I will do a first coat of a cream orange and top it with this. I think this is a great Halloween color!

Do you like Pru or Sienna? I know Salma has been on a lot of blogs lately b/c it is one of Zoya's newest colors.

How was your Friday night?

NOTD Love My Nails Mauve Shimmer

So after my failed attempt at a nice orangey/coral VS nail lacquer, I decided to do another one close to the same color.

This is Love My Nails Mauve Shimmer.

Check out the shimma!

This was a bit hard to capture. It is more of a dark coral with gold shimmer. I really like this color. I think I might try to do a gradient with this and maybe OPI Bright Lights Big Color, a color very similar to the failed VS that I used the other day.

Thanks for looking!
