Good evening everyone! I would love for you all to give my awesome sister a big, warm welcome! She is going to be joining the MCP blog and sharing some awesome lacquers and other great geeky things along the way! <3
So, uh, hi? I am Ashley and it looks as though I will be doing a few posts here and there for my awesome sister, Nina. She suggested I should give a little introduction for everyone. Which to be honest is a little nerve wracking since not only am I not the best public speaker but I have never blogged in any capacity, but here goes nothing. I live in Washington State with my main squeeze, Paul, who is currently in the Air Force. We have somehow managed to raise an awesome 6 (almost 7) year old son, Gavin. To complete our awesome household, we have a dog, Mae, and a guinea pig, Manbearpig. Nina helped create my love of polish back when she opened her shop and besides pretty fingertips I love reading, music, gaming, and The Office. Prepare yourself for Office quotes cause they will most likely happen. My best friend says I am Michael Scott and Phyllis combined so I think that pretty much sums me up…maybe? Sure. Done. <3
Now to the good part. It was a bit tough deciding what mani I wanted to be in my first post but I ended up choosing one I really love. But now that I think about it, it looks an awful lot like a mani Nina did the other day…eh, oh well. Also, since I’m new to this I may or may not have forgotten to take pictures of my base color. Hint: I forgot. <3
For my base color I used Julep Annette and it is described as a light dove grey creme. This is accurate enough though I think it’s lighter and less grey than I had expected. It’s a little watery/runny so I have to make sure there isn’t a lot on the brush or else it pools like no other. It’s very pigmented so I only used one thicker coat. <3
As my top coat I used one coat of The Nightman Cometh from the Polish Revolution and Happy Hands ‘Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ collaboration collection. Always Sunny is one of my favorite shows so I got the collection as soon as it was released and I am so stinkin’ glad I did. Application is easy and the formula is really nice. It’s got a clear base with black, gold, green, and white various size glitters. I finished my mani with a good coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat. <3
