University of Miami - inspired manicure

thought about my times at UM recently, and smiled. i miss my boys, even though they are grown men now. spending my Saturdays at the stadium or plum in front of the TV made me happy. so since i had green and orange nail polish, i decided to do something with them.

i used:

1) Gelous Advanced Gel Nail Coat

2) Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Emerald City

3) Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Crushed

4) Milani Nail Art in Art of Gold

5) Seche Vite

how do you like it?

update:

here's the right hand. i switched the color up.

Red and Gold Bands

here is my EBT-Awards inspired manicure (you can blame my homey, Odara, from http://www.gimmethatglow.com for the color combination):

here's what i used:

1) Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat

2) Milani Nail Art in Art of Gold

3) Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Red Carpet

4) Bruccu Nail Hardener in Clear

the Gelous base coat is nice and thick. it dries a slight bit tacky so it grips the polish as you apply it. i only had to use 2 coats of the Red Carpet. it has a fair amount of sparkle to it and it paired well with the Gold of Milani. i only had to use one coat for the gold though. i had to use the Brucci because of a mixup with my Seche Vite order. it worked fine. nothing spectacular.

i was a bit lazy though and only did the left hand. i'll do the right tomorrow.
