Twinsie Tuesday, Classic

Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday!

Today's theme is Classic... I thought about going with a classic French Tip, or a nice neutral Mauve, but the more I thought about it the more I kept thinking RED. Red is a classic nail polish color, I think it was one of the first colors worn on nails. Plus, I have a very "classic" red to share.

This is OPI Coca-Cola Red.

To me, this is a true "classic red". It's a really true red, doesn't lean orange or show any blue undertones (to me). It's just straight up red. Awesome red. Red based on the best soft drink ever invented, Coca-Cola. It's my weakness and I'm not ashamed of it. Judge me all you want, but please don't try and chastize me or lecture me about it. I know it's bad for me, I'm almost 34, I'll drink it if I want to. ;) haha :)

This mani is 2 smooth coats of Coca-Cola Red topped with HK Girl by Glisten and Glow. Truth be told this was on day 3 of my mani, I forgot to snap pics on day 1, and it held up so well I went with it. I wish I would've moisturized a little before I snapped the pic, but what can you do.

I'm not a fan of red nails on myself, it's my husbands favorite polish color. Go figure. But I do love this one, even on me. Maybe it's just my love for Coke, who knows.

So what do you all think? What do you consider a "classic" mani?

Twinsie Tuesday, Inspired by a Beverage/Food

Good morning everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I'm doing ok, I've been better but I've been worse so I'm going with that. :)

Today's prompt is Inspired by a Beverage/Food.Well with OPI's recent Coca-Cola collection I had to go with my very favorite soda, Vanilla Coke! Here's my disclaimer, yes I know it's bad for me. So don't even start with your lectures and facts and figures... I get it. I'm 33, I know. But it makes me happy... so I drink it. It's my decision after all. :)

For this mani I started with 2 coats of OPI You're So Vain-illa then topped it with Glisten & Glow HK Girl. For the soda and bubbles I used acrylic paint. (If you'd like to see how I make my bubbles you can see a pictorial I did on Amanda's blog here!) Then I sealed it all in again with HK Girl.

These didn't turn out quite how I imagined, but they get the idea across! They also remind me of a concoction I've seen Cristina Alvarado (Her Instagram is here, you should be following her! Her work is AMAZING!!) drinking; a mixture of Coke and Evaporated Milk. I want to try it so bad but haven't yet. It isn't that bad for you is it?

So what do you think? Do these remind you of Vanilla Coke? Or maybe evaporated milk and Coke. Any of you had that mix? What does it taste like!?!
