Avon Starburst

Well this is a little funny and awkward. Yesterday on the blog I had Starburst and today on the blog I have Starburst. I literally didn't put that together til I was writing out the blog title and was like, wait, I know I've done this before. It's a completely different brand and color though with the same great name. Today I have Avon Starburst from their Cosmic collection of scattered holos. Starburst is a berry red scattered holo. The formula on this was nearly perfect and only required two coats for full opaqueness. I barely needed clean up that's how easy it applied. I finished off with one coat of Seche Vite. I am going to need to try this again out in the sun because I didn't find it very holo even for a scattered holo. I was mainly just using it as a base for nail art so I just took some indoor pictures. Hopefully this weekend I will have a chance to try it again and the weather will cooperate and not be negative 30 degree wind chill. Even without a strong holo I still really loved this color!

Nail Art for Nubs Monday

Last weekend I was building another nail polish rack and everything was going along just fine until I ran out of duct tape with only three shelves to go. I went back to Rue21 where I had purchased to tape only to find out that they don't even sell duct tape anymore. All my searching online has turned up nothing either. So that was really disappointing and I am going to have to find something else that is close so I can finally finish it up. That duct tape was so pretty though so this weeks Nubs mani is going to be dedicated to that out of reach duct tape!

Here is the inspiration.

I started off with two coats of Avon Starburst and then stamped using Pueen plate 27 on all of the fingers. I topped it all of with two coats of Seche Vite. It's not exact and its a more shiny version but to me it's close enough. Now if I can just find something close when it comes to tape to finish that rack =) As always please remember to check out the other girls participating in the link up!!
