Sugar Plum Fairy & Sparkling Peach

This is one of the mani's that I did before I put on my shellac (which I still have on but will probably be taking off soon - I'm already itchin for a change).

Polised Used:
-OPI - Nail Envy
-Funky Fingers - Sugar Plum Fairy
-LAGirl - Sparkling Peach
-Out The Door - TopCoat

As always when I use any shimmer/glitter, the pictures do you not this mani any justice. This is such a beautiful light purple cream polish that was completely opaque in two coats. I decided to spice it up a bit by adding two coats of sparkling peach. I loved how this mani looked in person and I always love when I go outside and love how my nails look in the sun (when we have it!) I did these when it was 90+ degrees and VERY humid so the only times I was outside was walking to and from my car at work. LOL.

I never thought I would say this, but thankfully today it's cooler (80's) and raining (my lawn was brown). LOL. I know that the northeast (US) did in the last couple of weeks, what about you ladies who live elsewhere? Happy Saturday!

My Mom's Nails

Happy Tuesday!
As I mentioned yesterday I got together with my mom and sister this weekend and did their nails. Below are the nails my mom ended up with.

Polishes Used:
-Wet 'n Wild - Flirty Rose Creme (2 coats)
-LA Girl Fruity - Sparkling Peach (2 coats)
-Out The Door TopCoat

Sparkling Peach was also one of my new shimmer polished that I picked up at Rite Aid. It is supposed to be scented when dry but I forgot to ask my mom to check, lol, also, do you think it will still smell through a topcoat? I let her pick the base color for this design and the colors looked very pretty together; I will probably try out this topcoat over top of a black and white base colors just for comparisons sake.

Have any of you tried out scented nail polishes? If so, do they actually still smell with topcoat over top? I remember having blueberry scented glitter polish when I was in middle school. I think it was blue glitters with larger raspberry hex in it as well.... oh the memories.... lol. Does this sound familiar to anyone else from the mid-90's?
