Hangin' with Elle instead of Ella

I have had an extremely long week.  I have been working overtime, and a few things have been suffering.  Firstly, my Ella still has short sleeve caps.  I wanted to fix it today, but I had to attend to another more pressing matter.  My fingernails!!! EEEKKKK!  The polish was chipping off terribly, and the hangnail hooked onto the yarn when I knit.  So, it was about time that I gave them some TLC.

I went to Duane Reade's website and saw that Essie came out with a new line called Luxe Effects. All of the colors have a pop of shimmer or glitter, and can be used with other polishes to make really pretty effects. I saw that they paired a pearlescent shimmer polish with a white base coat.   So, here is my take on it. 

I used O.P.I.'s "A-ha Moment" to paint the tips of my nails. 

Then I used 2 coats of "Elle's Pearls by OPI" as the main color.

After that, I applied Essie's "Shine of the Times" over each nail, for extra shimmer.

Here is the complete look.  I love it.

Here is a closer look at the Luxe effect.

Don't worry.  Tomorrow, there will be knitting.  I just received some new yarn for a totally new project.  I will tell you all about it soon.  And yes, of course there's PINK!
