DizzyNails: BB Couture for Men

Rainy City Night

For this mani, I started with two coats of BB Couture for Men Michael.

Michael is another gorgeous bluey purpley wonder polish. The formula is excellent, as always.

When you are putting it on you see all these shimmering little micro flakes. Obviously, this doesn't translate as much onto the nail.

It reads like a slate blue most of the time.

The picture above is from in my bathroom. The picture below is with the flash, to try and show off the shimmah, since it's rainy out and there is no sun to be found!

Now, I was perfectly happy with Michael. Really. But due to a series of unfortunate events, I had to add something to this mani to save it. I won't bore you with details.

I added a coat of BB Couture for Nails Trim & Tassled.

Check out the beautiful iridescent little glitters! They shift from green to yellow to orange.

It kind of reminds me of a rainy night in the city...hence my post title. :)

Sometimes, when life hands you lemons, you gotta put some glittah on that mani!!

I've edited this to add some sunny pictures!

I put this on the other night because of a week long MUA Nail Board challenge offered by Finch96. *waves "hi" to Finch* The deal is, if you like the bling, you have to wear conservative, understated colors all week. If you like and normally wear conservative colors, you have to wear glitter and ka-pow blingtastic stuff.

So, here I am with three coats of BB Couture For Men Intake Valve.

Intake Valve has a secret golden shimmer that doesn't translate onto the nail. It's a really hard color to describe in words. I'd say cool beige with a hint of rose. Don't be deceived by the warmth of the picture below - that's just the morning sun making it look warm!

This color feels Mod and fresh to me. It's definitely not what I normally wear, but it's kind of fun and different! I've gotten quite a few compliments on it, too, which is always a plus!

As for my toes, I was not thinking about the challenge when I did my pedi on Tuesday. I used OPI Boo-Berry with Hard Candy Break Up. It is so cool, I can hardly stand it. Don't ask me why, but I just looooove glow-in-the-dark pedis! And then add glitter....perfection. *sigh*

It was a BLACK Friday

I'm slowly catching up! This was the mani I wore on Black Friday. I work in retail, so I wanted it to be somewhat special, to help get me through the mayhem!

I started with two coats of BB Couture for Men Wire Stripper. It looks almost black, but is more of a dark gray with some very pretty and interesting shimmer that goes a bit pink and gold.

It applied beautifully and I didn't quite capture the shimmer in my pics, but it's gorgeous!

It's another fabulous addition to my ever-growing "almost-black" collection!

Then, for fun, I added two coats of Nfu-Oh 60. It's a black jelly with red, orange, yellow, and green shifting flakies.

You can see hints of blue reflecting in the bottle, but it didn't look that way on my nails. Maybe it would reflect different on top of a different color.
