MOTW



OK so next in line for my 1st nail wheel is #7 Milani Totally Cool. I wore it back in early June. Number 8 is a deep purple from Goldie that doesn't have a name. I thought I wore it already so I skipped it. BUT as you can see in my sample wheel pic it's so dark it's nearly black! Following that is b. Lilas Optique. This is another one I already wore also in June. This really is a neat polish as it looks totally different by itself!
This brings me to my mani today. Number 10 on my wheel is by Barielle it's called Jess' Champagne Toast (I don't quite get the name as to me I think of cream or amber when I think of Champagne, but that's neither here nore there. lol) I lucked out and foudn this color at my local Ulta comsmetics store on clearance, but it is available on the Barielle website! =D
JCT is a blue leaning lilac with a pink glitter. It dries kind of gritty so I decided not to do full coverage on this one. Saturday while out shopping for kids school supplies I stopped into Biglots and found a 5 pack of e.l.f. brand nailpolishes for $4.50.
While I don't really need any more polish, I loved the colors in these and it fell well under my $3 a bottle price cap. So into my cart they went. I laid down 3 thin coats of the Lilac shade. (Sadly these are out of stock on their website as they say they are reformulating them) I decided to matte all but my ring fingers before sponging on the JCT. On my ring fingers I added a white outline sticker of a hibiscus flower before topping off with a clear coat.
That's it for me for nails and that ends the purple reign (heeheehee) from wheel A, up next are some gorgeous teal-y greens! =D Later friends!

Please Meet Giselle Amastacia




Giselle is a half-elf, being raised by her human mother. Amastacia means starflower in Elven. She is delicate and ethereal like her father, but carries her mothers rich auburn hair. She is currently pondering which jewels she will wear to this evenings ball. Tawny her dragon sits quietly in her lap, enjoying Giselle's petting.

Giselle is a porcelain 1:12th scale miniature doll. She is dressed in a green velvet dress with black velvet trim. her shoes are painted on and have a gorgeous iridescent green shimmer. Her beautiful auburn hair is viscose fiber. Which BTW I am now in LOVE with! LOL

Orah came down from her perch as I was photographing Giselle and Tawny. Orah doesn't like Giselle, even appears a bit annoyed with her, well technically I think she is annoyed with me.

"You need to fix my hair!!!" She hollered at me while glaring at Giselle.

"But, I thought you liked your hair?" I asked

"Her (said with her nose wrinkled) hair looks way better than mine does. Fix it!!!)

"But I only have red, you don't want to have the same color hair that she does, do you?"

Thinking for a moment, "well no, so buy MORE...rich dark black, just like this, oooh and maybe some gold highlights. hmmmm can we...pleeeeeease"

Oh boy, I think I'm in trouble, but compared to Giselles' sleek 'do, I have to agree with Orah. So I am off to find viscose fibers in other colors!!!
