Vieux Carre OPI - A French Quarter for your thoughts

Vieux Carre  is creole, it means the old quarter (referring to the French Quarter)

Hubby being a NOLA boy reacted to the color with "why is it gray". lol

If you've ever been to New Orleans Louisiana then you know why

he found it odd, all of New Orleans is so full of color it's almost too much, but not.

I think it's intended more to be the beautiful old stone work buildings and the famous cemeteries that

this color is representing. I like it no matter.

French Quarter for your thoughts is a nice granite gray creme from the OPI touring America collection

 

And when I mentioned the French Quarter Hello Kitty insisted on coming along

( the fabulous HK decals were sent to me by my sweetheart Jerlene aka MusicalHouses from a funtabulous Blog- Of Faces and Fingers )

And to compliment HK I took a tiny bit of clear polish in a mixing cup and added a tiny bit of my Beach Party eyeshadow and did the very tips plus my ring finger over FQfyT.

The formula is very nice and smooth with good pigment so it is very nearly opaque on the first coat

I can't say that this is unique but if you are looking for a nice gray I would recommend picking this up because the formula is a bit better than several grays I have.

Thank you Jerlene for the Hello Kitty decals, they are almost as adorable and sweet as you!

Do we have our favorites from this collection yet? I have a couple but I'm not absolute on my must haves yet.

A Perfect Birthday manicure

For my birthday I wanted a special manicure so...

What better polish to celebrate 38 with than Fu@% off and Dye?! 

 

Hot pink shimmery matte perfection

I kept my ring finger shiny because my sparkly heart looked odd matte

This is 2 coats of FoaD (ManGlaze's usual fabulous formula)

and if you must add shiny to coat this beautiful teal shimmer emerges (drool)

Gorgeous any way you wear it!

If you want to F-ck off and Dye you can grab one at ManGlaze, don't wimp out and get the pc version although the name "Blue" is awesome.

It's a Pirate Party!

I figured while my nails are so short I should play with glitter

(Glitter turns to concrete on my nails and is painful to remove, even with the foil method & pure acetone so when my nails are long I rarely wear it)

I used OPI Skull and Glossbones as my base and 2 un named glitters

I added an accent of one of my little skull and crossbones decals and we have a Pirate Party!

Sadly we had no sun to get full bling pictures

I did 2 coats of Skull & Glossbones and one coat of each of the glitters followed with a thick coat of seche Vite

Yes it was a pita to remove but I loved it anyway!

Making Lem-on aid!

OK the titles lame but the polish is hot!

Color Club Get your Lem-on from the Wicked Sweet collection (Lemon scented nom)

This is 3 coats of neon perfection!

The subtle green shift from the green shimmer makes this color fantabulous!

I added some cute little Skully kitty Angels and Devils to me this up a bit

And one lone buggerfly because my pinkie nail is way too narrow for most nail decals

This applies like a $20 polish and the fact that retail these are around $3 makes me love it even more

The scent is strong enough to smell through top coat but not overpowering.

I cannot say enough how much I adore Color Clubs Neon's. The contrasting shimmers make them so much more interesting than your standard neon.
