Here is one of the spoils of the recent BOGO sale on Butter London polishes at Ulta from last week.

 It's two coats of Knees Up.  This polish applied perfectly and attracted plenty of attention!

 I always feel just a bit self-conscious wearing reds, so I wanted to add decals just to be different and for fun.  I have these Kitty decals from pa brand that someone sent me as an extra with a polish order.

 It's kitties, hearts, houses, and then one random little creature that looks like a mouse maybe?  He is so cute and special - I didn't use him yet.

 I did three accent nails.  Sometimes I just feel asymetrical...yeah.

 Black kitty and black heart on the right hand ring finger.

 The decals are pretty thick, so I used two coats of top coat over them to make sure they were secure.

 My right hand thumb had the white kitty, which I really like!

 My left hand thumb was jealous because I left it decal-less.

This was a fun mani and it definitely made me feel better about wearing red.

I finally decided to use some of the decals I've been collecting. Smart! I started with Claire's Pink Rose polish. It has an awesome, subtle golden holo shimmah! In some lights it almost looks like a lime green shimmah. Then I used decals from Fing'rs Edge, the Royal Punk set.

I apologize that some of the pictures are blurry - my zoom had a mind of its own that night!

The picture below is ridiculous (bad) but I had to include it because the bottle shimmah is so gorgeous!!

The black skull with the heart eye patch is my favorite, I think.

I was impatient in putting on the decals so I didn't wait until my polish was totally dry. I think it might have turned out a little better if I had waited, but then I had the dilemma of not wanting to put a layer of quick dry top coat on top of a basically dry mani (and risking peeling and shrinking).

This was lots of fun and lasted a few days for me (which is good), so I'll definitely be using more decals in the future! :D
