Apparently, there was a mass Walgreens scouring across the country when this polish came out. Luckily, with my red beanie and glock in hand, I found the elusive Hidden Treasure.
ONWARD!
Thar she blows, folks! This is three coats of Hidden Treasure over my bare nails. I actually wore this as a mani for a good 3 days before taking this photo. I really wanted to test out Sally Hansen's 5-in-1 claim and see how it would do without additional base and topcoat. I scrubbed the shower right before this so pardon the cuticles. I will say my polish held up well and it looked awesome at that. It's like I had opals on my fingertips :)
And here is the Captain of the A team! This is two coats of Hidden Treasure over eleventy billion coats of Sally Hanse Blu. I kind of wanted to pick a lighter base than a normal black, just to see what would happen. I do like the result, it reminds me of a pair of simulated opal earrings I used to have.
The wear on these Sally Hansen Complete blabbity blah polishes have been good so far. I really hope they keep coming out with interesting colors such as these.

Hopefully, everyone has recovered from all their St. Paddy's day endeavors! I snapped a few photos of yesterday's mani and the wonderful gifts I received in the mail!!
For this manicure I did one coat of Rimmel Camouflage with three coats of Nfu-Oh 56. I love the flakies in this manicure. They were a little hard for me to capture in the direct sunlight, but I know you can see those opalescent flakes! Pardon the tip wear, I wore this one all week :)
Here's a macro shot from that same mani.
Here are the lovely giveaway goodies I received this week from Mary over at
Body and Soul. I recently won one of her Friday Follower giveaways and I loooove my prize pack.
I received - California Mango hand care kit
- Orly French Polynesian Travel Kit
- Barielle Rebuilding Nail Protein
- Orly Nail Rescue (So happy I won this!)

So this was a lovely package to get in the mail. Did you get any goodies in the mail this week?

Although it's mid-week and I have Friday to look forward to, this rain is killing me! I need a sunshine fix soon or I'm going to go bonkers. So, I'm posting a happy manicure that reminds me of glistening swimming pools and summer.
I didn't think OPI Sea, I Told You So! needed any help being pretty, but layering Nfu-Oh 53 over it made it hot! The flakies in that polish remind me of a really light, lab created opal set of earrings I had when I was younger. I loved the color of them, but couldn't suffer through wearing non-surgical steel earrings. So, now when I want an opal fix, I just slap one Nfu-Oh or another over my polish and the effect is amazing!
