Products I used:
Revlon ColorStay Base Coat 
Covergirl Outlast stay brilliant Show Stopper 
Milani Nail Lacquer Sugar Cane

I have been wanting to wear Sugar Cane since I got it at dollar tree. I forgot that I did not wear it yet and found while I was going through my collection. I thought it look pretty over sliver and it did look pretty but it also might look even better a pastel cream which I will probably try in the future. I really like how it came out and really like sugar cane. I also liked show stopper because it a nice sliver which is opaque in two coats.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani.

I got this pair of Tek Gear in fitted warm Tek black and gray for $17.60 +20% off  make them $14.80  original  $44.00. They will be nice to wear during  cold days in Ca.

with flash

without flash inside lighting

Products I used:
Loreal One Stop Base Coat
Sinful Colors Hot Spot

I really like this combo with these two blue nail polishes. I really love Hot Spot its a pretty navy blue with blue shimmers which you can't see in the photos. It has a really good formula too.
