Yesterday I went to the pro beauty supply Salon Centric that you need to be licensed to purchase from there.  For those of you who do not know I have had my license for about 13 years.  I was running low on a few things so I got those plus a bunch of fun new polishes while I was there.

I love Moroccan Oil products.  I got shampoo, conditioner and treatment all in this fun case.  I also got Straight Sexy Hair seal and shine spray.  I love the finished look this gives to my hair.

While I was there I grabbed these fun sleek stick nail stickers that are uv cured.  I will do another post on those.

At checkout they threw in a sample of Matrix Biolage hydratherapie creme mask.  I love free samples.  Look for more NOTD posts with these colors.

20130115_33I picked up this essie polish a while back and I am really loving it.  I polished my toes after I bought it and I couldn’t believe how long it lasted.  The color that I have on my nails is Camera, it has a nice coral tone to it.  I had never tried essie before but I am really pleased with the wear of the brand.

Now that the holidays are over, all the decorations are put away and my house is back in order, I look to colors for inspiration to get me thru these next few months of cold winter weather.  Right now I am really loving a pale pink and gold combo.  I saw this mani the other day and instantly had to do it to my nails.

First I rounded up my polishes and picked out OPI Kiss On The Chic and Butter London West End Wonderland along with a good base and top coat.  I like to use a nail strengthening base coat since my nails are really soft and a quick drying top coat.

20130103_6After I shaped and buffed my nails I applied my base coat

20130103_127After a few minutes of letting that dry, I applied two coats of my pink color.

20130103_130I made sure to let my nails dry to the touch before applying the gold color.

20130103_131Here I used a smaller brush from my Bundle Monster brush kit that I purchased a while back from here since it made for better control to fill in the half moons of my nails.  Then I put a really good coat of a fast drying top coat to seal it in.  I forgot that picture, but you get the idea.

20130103_132Here is the finished look.  I think I will be wearing this look for a while, it is perfect for the few holiday parties we still have this season.

Happy Friday Dolls!!!
