Hello lovelies! It's the beginning of January and the festivities are coming to an end, meaning back to the textbooks, calculators, formula sheets, and essays for me! I wanted to kick this month off with a sparkly and celebratory manicure, in hopes of giving myself some motivation for the last stretch before second semester begins. This month, I have 4 diploma exams so chances of me posting frequently are slim, but I will try my best to do some swatches over my exam break.
That being said, when I went to visit my relatives for Christmas, my grandma gave me some polishes that she received from a salon owner. As soon as I opened the box, my eyes were drawn to the gorgeous silver capped silver polish, which was upon later inspection OPI's DS Radiance. I haven't ever bought any DS polishes, and I received one as a gift a long time ago but it's unfortunately an unflattering color with my skin tone. Suffice it to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this in the box of goodies!
More pics after the jump!
And now... here's where the fun begins!
I decided to bling it up a bit with China Glaze's Techno. I intended to do a gradient manicure but it didn't work out so well.. so let's just say this is some layering instead!
I'd like to get my hands on some more chunky glitters that I can use for layering, it really is the fastest way for me to add depth to my nails. Anyway, hope you all enjoy!
Till next time,
Mandy

Cute!! Gradients never really work for me, either :)
