OMD3 - Day 31 - #mynailsandmyperfume

Hi all!

During the month of July the Oh Mon Dieu Part 3 (OMD3) Nail Art Challenge is hosted by Brijit from Brijits Digits, Jacqui from Craftynail, Jemma from Eeeek! Nail Polish! and Lindsay from Nail That Accent!. There are awesome prizes to be won just for joining up, no judging or voting involved! For more information how to enter read this page here!

Today: Perfume. So, one of my favourite perfumes (not that I have many) is Red Musk from The Body Shop. I dislike most perfumes, they're often too floral or sweet. Red Musk is completely without floral tones. Perhaps a bit similar to Hugo Boss Deep Red, but better. I've worn nothing else since I got it a few months ago. Except for it's sister White Musk Libertine (which is being discontinued) that I got about 2 weeks ago.

Polishes:

• Essence - 114 fame fatal
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Dark Matter
• Essence - gel polish base coat
• Essence - gel polish top coat

Base: 2 coats of Fame fatal, which still left me with some visible nail line (Still searching for that true red that covers completely in 2 coats...). Then I sponged a gradient of Dark Matter and Fame fatal. Topcoated and done.

And of course a shot of my nails with my perfume bottle... which is the biggest they've got and therefore not that easy to hold...

Phew... I made it this month! I actually did more blog posts this entire month than I did in the previous six! I'm taking a break for a few days and I'll resurface somewhere next week!

Love, Brethil

Today: #mynailsandmydrink. So... I went with coffee... not that I'm such a huge coffee drinker, but I do like my cappucchino's. And owning a polish called Steamy Affair that screamed to be used helped decide as well.

Polishes:

• Superficially Colorful Lacquer - Steamy Affair
• OPI - HL E11 - Warm Me Up

Base: 2 coats of Steamy Affair. This is a textured thermal from the Happy Hour collection. It is Limited Edition, but it's still listed on the website. Because the shop is in vacation mode at the moment, you can't order any polishes until August 10th though. I added some coffee beans with the OPI and a nail art brush. No top coat obviously.

You see mostly the cold state on my nails in these photos. Warm state turns to a more beige, or latte coffee, colour.

Love, Brethil

Nail Polish! and Lindsay from Nail That Accent!. There are awesome prizes to be won just for joining up, no judging or voting involved! For more information how to enter read this page here!

Today: Princess. No clue why, but this mani seemed princessy to me. Perhaps it's the roses. And the feel of old paper. Not sure.

Polishes:

• Catrice - 22 Bricky Mouse
• Catrice - 030 My Café Au Lait At Nôtre-Dame
• Essence - 139 walk on the wild side
• Barry M - Gelly - GNP28 Coconut

Base: 2 coats of Coconut. Added dry brush strokes with Lychee and then painted on the roses. Added some dots with more Lychee. Ended with a matte top coat (I might have used a normal quick dry top coat first to keep the design from smearing, but I can't remember).

Love, Brethil
