NAIL ART: My "Tiger" Polish + Tiger Paws =

I am always wearing my own polish and trying to come up with fun little art ideas to go with it. Today, I did a tiger themed mani using last year's "Tiger" polish from my "Animals Polish Line". 

I added some fun little paw stamps to create a bright and colorful tiger themed mani. 

For the base of this mani I used 2 coats of my "Tiger" polish. I love how the orange jelly is dark enough to hide the nail line, but see-through enough to see all the black bar glitters layered through the polish. I LOVE JELLIES!!!

This polish is very near and dear to me. I created it in honor of my Alma Mater Massillon Washington Highschool. Our mascot was the tiger. Every Friday I looked forward to dressing in orange and black for the football games. Highschool days are long gone for me, but I have 3 little boys now, who will be Tigers one day too. So I still have plenty of orange and black days to come. 

This polish as well as my others are currently available in my store.

SWATCH AND REVIEW: Covergirl Outlast Polishes

I have some beautiful Covergirl polishes to show you all today. They are from a line that is currently available in most stores. My boyfriend got me several of them.

Now onto the swatches. All are 2 coats except the red "Forever Festive". This beautiful polish only needed a single coat for smooth buttery full coverage perfection. Mmmmm.....

Covergirl "Golden Opportunity"

Covergirl "Constant Caribbean" 

Covergirl "Forever Festive"

Ooops! BUMPED POLISH!!! 

Here are the plates and polishes I used for stamping:

So what do you think of these polishes? I love this new Covergirl line. The formulas are nice and they are all super shiny. The red one you see here "Forever Festive" was a one coater. That's always awesome. Do you own any of these?
