The Neverending Polish Challenge - Best Granny Color

This will be my last post for this challenge, as I have no other polishes for the last two prompts, and I'm not about to buy any more! Now, as Jenna of Inky Whiskers would say, this is a "born again virgin untried" polish, heehee. I've had it for probably close to 20 years. It was one of the first polishes I got, and I just can't seem to part with it, even though it is awful. In fact, I dislike it so much, I plan to remove it within a day, and will begin swatching some Juleps which I am VERY behind on posting about. Anyway, here it is: this is Artmatic Elegant Mauve. Yep - it even has a granny-sounding name. :

This makes me think of my grandma...I think I will give her a call. Have a great week, and I'll be back later in the week. Now that I have no more challenges, I don't know what I will do with myself. Hopefully, I will come up with some sweet nail art for you all (after I share three months worth of Julep boxes with you)! Make sure to check out what everyone else did!

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Free Polish - 4th of July!

Hi all! Of course I had to make my free choice day a 4th of July manicure! I have a lot of celebrating to do today, so this will be brief.

This is Julep Scarlett for the base. I stamped with Konad Special White using an image from Mash-49. I then filled in some of the stars with Julep Carly. Scarlett and Carly were both given to me by my aunt who didn't want the colors. They work perfectly for today! Yay America! :)

Here is Scarlett all by herself. This is a gorgeous bright red with flakies in it. It's a bit of a jelly, too. I did three coats here to reach opacity.

Off to a picnic - everyone have a safe and happy holiday! And to all of my readers elsewhere, have a wonderful day!
