More fun with layers

Today we have more fun with layering.  I have been doing so much stamping lately that I had forgotten how much fun it is to play with layers.  Today we are delving into the blues.

Speaking of blues, I decided that I have been alone long enough.  I decided I needed to get back out there.  What did I do?  I signed up on one of those online dating sites. Have any of you tried this?  It's a whole new level of humiliation and rejection.  I signed up for three months and will not be renewing.  All I seem to be getting are hits by rednecks and old men.  No thanks.  I'd rather be alone.  Reading what these guys say about themselves, you wonder really?  Do you really work out five days a week and have a full time job and yet you still look like a schlub?  Then there are the sneaky people who make up profiles, put pictures of hot men up, hit on you and then they turn out to be fake.  That's always fun.  So therefore, it seems to be a waste of time and futility.

Enough on that.  Let's get on with the silly bottle shot shall we?


This is my specially made Elevation Polish Avalanche Light, SoFlaJo Summer Breeze, OPI RoadHouse Blues, Girly Bits Cosmic Ocean and Rescue Beauty Lounge IKB2012.

I started with IKB.  Now you all know how much I love my RBL.  I tell you all the time it's my favorite brand.  But I got to tell you, this IKB formula was a huge PITA to apply.  It dragged, it smeared it dried faster than I could place it.  It generally sucked ass.  But the color is gorgeous! I must give it that.  Here are the beginning shots.

What you can't see in these pictures are the millions of tiny bubbles I got after polishing this.  But how gorgeous is this blue huh?  I do love the color.  Next I added a layer of Summer Breeze from SoFlaJo's newest collection, Life's a Beach.  Here is that step.

Summer Breeze is a purple shimmer color changer.  See the shimmer here?  Next, I added a layer of Cosmic Ocean, which is one of my top fave color changers thus far! Here is that step.

It's kind of hard to see the difference in this step other than there is a lot more shimmer.  I then topped it off with a layer of Avalanche Light and my funky in RoadHouse Blues.  Here is the final mani.

Silly me forgot the Macro shot I always end with.  Oh well!  How about that sparklefest? I think this is stunning.  I realize I need to do a whole mani with RoadHouse!

What do you guys think?

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?
