New 31 Day Challenge - Day 8

Today's theme is "duochrome, flakie, or holo", there is a whole lot that can be done there!  However, as it turned out I had a super long night at work tonight and just got home so I ended up deciding to just update what I already had on to make it fit the theme.  I wore OPI Roadhouse Blues to work today so there was some tipwear that I touched up first.  Then I sponged the tips with Seduction by Cult Nails.  And because I  LOVE the way flakies look with a matte topcoat, I added a coat of Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.  Love the way these turned out!

Be sure and check out what the others have come up with, they are a talented group!

Gorgeous Bling Bling

This is a case of what looks good in the bottle or on someone else, doesn't always look good on me...  I picked up this bottle of essence Gorgeous Bling Bling at Ulta the other day and thought I would love it.  It is sort of a "fall" shade, kind of a terra cotta or pumpkin color, which I love and it has little gold flakies!  On my skin tone however it looks awful! The polish itself is fine, no problems with application (although I am not a fan of the changed brush with the new bottle style), it is just not for me.  This one will probably get passed along to someone who can appreciate it more than me!

What do you think?  Have you ever had a polish you though you would love and then ended up hating in the end?
