Noho way..... Really I mean it!

Hi all and good morning. Today I'm wearing this Leather Effect polish by nails inc. I wasn't too antsy to get it when it first released cause of the textured look, but Zoya stole my heart. I purchased this about 2 weeks ago in JCPenney Sephora on sale for $6. This one is called Noho and i'll tell you that wearing this w/o a top coat is a No ho ho!!

The coat (2) by itself is very matte and unattractive to the finished look.... I NEEDED to apply a very thin coat of top coat and I was safe with the way it came out, people at work actually liked it and thought it looked more like leather with the top coat. However the bottle states not to use a top coat but I paid for it i'll do as I please :))). 

Looking at it up against my favorite Tory Burch handbag it looks wonderfully leather to me!!

Pour some sugar on me

Hi ladies, research paper submitted yesterday and I'm on to the next one....in 3 weeks that is :/. So today I have a mani I did last night using another Nails Inc Special Effects lacquer, this one is called 'Sugar House Lane'. I like this because of the salt n pepper glitters mixture with the subtle taupe lacquer. I actually started to paint my nails a taupe color so it would show up more but I found that I clearly didn't need to. This is two coats and Seche Vite on top. By the way I used a glue base coat for the peel off process :)
