Twinsie Tuesday - Biggest Splurge

I ran out of time to create a fresh mani for today's theme. Instead, I thought I'd do a little throwback re-share of a few designs.

I've never spent an astronomical amount of money on a single polish before, but I did receive Butter London Marrow as a gift and bought Illamasqua Phallic with a $10 off coupon, so I guess I would consider them my "biggest" high-dollar polishes.

For starters, a year and a half old swatch of Illamasqua Phallic:

Phallic paired with China Glaze It's a Trap-eze:

Seven Deadly Sins Series - Greed

The first theme of Greed week for the Seven Deadly Sins Series is to "go wild and use your most expensive and precious polish".

That was a close one for me because I have one Illamasqua, retailing for $14 USD and one butter LONDON worth $15 USD.

I decided to just use both Illamasqua Phallic and butter LONDON Marrow to create a cloud mani. I wanted each layer to be outlined in white, though, so I put down a cloud of China Glaze White on White before each color.

Another polish I consider to be precious is Leprechaun Farts from 365 Days of Color. I love it because it is LE, has a wonderful name, and is a beautiful glitter that looks great paired with anything. Plus it was my first indie purchase. So I added a very thin coat of it to finish my nails off!

Phallic got kind of boring pretty fast. 

I'm not usually big on simple, plain, one-color manis. I always have to spice them up a little!

Illamasqua - Phallic

I went to Sephora looking to buy ONE Illamasqua; However, it took me about half an hour off picking up, photographing, and staring at about a dozen colors, before I finally decided.
