For Audrey

I am so excited to be posting the one today, you have no idea.  This one is China Glaze For Audrey.  This is an oldie, but new to me.  I couldn't tell you what year or collection this one came from to save my life, but I'm just happy that it is in my hoard now.

Now, this isn't just any Audrey this one is named after.  This is named after The Audrey.  Audrey Hepburn  was the classiest lady to every be classy in the history of modern cinema.  I idolize her and want to be like her in almost all ways.  I can't say enough good things about her.  And the color that China Glaze did for this polish isn't just blue.  You could call it sky blue, or baby blue, or robin's egg blue, but you would all of you be incorrect.  This shade is Tiffany blue (or as close as they could get since the color with the name is trademarked).  In my imaginary wedding, Tiffany blue is the main shade in my color pallet.

Since it is now winter and I'm completely in the holiday spirit, I decided to add a snowman to my manicure.  I didn't realize just how appropriate my manicure would be since it started snowing while I had this on my nails.

I used Sally Hansen and a dotting tool for the snowman and the snow, a black nail art pen for the arms and hat, and Essie Size Matters with an eye liner brush for the scarf.  To top it off and give just that extra oomph, I used a white glitter by Pixel to put over the "ground snow" so you could see where the snowman began.

This mani actually lasted me about four days with chips only starting on day three and no shrinkage.  Two coats got me complete coverage, and a top coat added extra shine.


Both pics were taken under artificial light, since it has been either raining or just gross outside and cold.

China Glaze For Audrey normally retails for $7 US plus sales tax.
