NOTD: "Dragon Hunter"
Hey y'all...two posts in two days. Wooohoooo! Making up for my frequent absences when I get the chance, I guess. Have I mentioned that my family and I are kinda going through a huge life transition thing right now? My husband decided to retire from the military and found a civilian job that is requiring us to move to northern Delaware and wrap up our life here in three months, with those three months falling during one of the busiest times of the year, and it's been pretty chaotic around these here parts. So if I'm here one day and then gone for 2 weeks, now you know why. I think I'll feel a bit more grounded once we've found a place to live and I've gotten my kiddo enrolled in a school, both of which I hope to have accomplished by the end of November.
Okay, now I'm just babbling. Back to nails....
Today's nail of the day is a mani I wore and loved a few weeks back. I'd bought Zoya Hunter at Ulta one day and it was sitting there on the counter a few days later when I received a Llarowe order containing a England Dragon...talk about a perfect polish match! I have the sort of skin tone that has a hard time pulling off greens so you'll see some lobster hands here, but I've now reached the age where I don't care because green is a favorite color of mine and I'm gonna wear it even if I get the dreaded red fingers. :)
Puuuuuurty, right? a England Dragon is perfection in a bottle, which isn't a surprise to anyone who's used a England polishes. I'm wearing it here on my middle two fingers, along with a freehand swipe on the index/pinky fingers that have a base of Zoya Hunter. I personally prefer subtle holos and Dragon fits the bill perfectly, applying smoothly and nearly opaque in one coat (though I did two coats here).
More pics after the jump, if you're interested:

A England Tristam and OPI Russian Navy
Today's mani features one of my two a england polishes (trust me, I'd have waaayyyy more of them if my budget allowed it!) that I bought in June....Tristam. I'm in LOVE with this gorgeous navy scattered holo, so much that I didn't even mind when it chipped the day after I put it on. Ah well, such is the nature of holos, plus I'm just so dang hard on my hands that it's a miracle if I can make it to day two without any chips with ANY polish.
Anyway, check out this gorgeous pretty lovely awesomeness:
Essie Millionails base coat -- two coats of Tristam -- Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat
You may notice that there is a different color on my ring finger? That is OPI Russian Navy, a color I picked up recently to add to the ever-growing collection of blues in my stash. Seriously...blues and purples....apparently I must have them alllllllll! :)
More pics (a lot, actually) after the jump, including photos of how I embellished this mani on the 2nd day:
