My Thanksgiving Mani

You guys pretty much know I'm kind of tame (NO, I did NOT say lame!) and don't typically do nail art or glitter. And this will be no exception. But I did want to do a little something.

So I'm wearing Revlon Ignite, which is a shimmery, rusty orange that just appeared at my local Walgreen. Now, "just appeared" could mean that it's brand spanking new, or it could mean that they found an old box in the back. Walgreen stores in Po-Dunk operate a little differently than most. =) It was in a new display right next to the remnants of the collection that featured Mistletoe, though.

The application was actually fantastic and took only one medium coat!

First, Revlon Ignite on its own...

See how it shimmers???

Then I layered on Barielle Elle's Spell, which is a great multi-chrome flaky that flashes green, red, gold and orange. Everything's better with Barielle Elle's Spell.

In the sunlight, it's STUNNING, but the sun's not cooperating right now.

And indoors, it's pretty inocuous, but still gorgeous.

I've been really impressed lately with the "drug store" polishes. Revlon and L'Oreal have both stepped up their games in the nail polish arena tremendously, as has Nicole by OPI. Either that or I'm just lucking out with the ones I'm choosing.
