A Fancy Schmancy Mani

Well hello there!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend so far 🙂

Today I have a pretty little mani that was inspired by a comment that Sonja from Peace Love Polish  left on my last post. She said it was “so fancy schmancy”, which reminded me that I actually have a nail polish named that! 🙂

It’s Sephora by OPI Fancy Schmancy.

Fancy Schmancy is a sheer, ice-blue that is packed with tons of shimmer. I think it actually came out a couple of years ago, but I just snagged a bottle of it from the clearance bin at Sephora a couple of months ago. It looked all pretty and shimmery and was only $1.75, so I couldn’t pass it up!

On its own, it’s one of those colors that takes many coats to be completely opaque. In the pics below I used 4 coats and I still have  slight VNL.

Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Oh thank you Elton John for recording Tiny Dancer. It’s been one of my favorite songs for years, but I think I love it a little bit more now for being the inspiration for the lovely lacquer I have for you today:

Hey There! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far!

*Warning- this post is kinda pic heavy and a little wordy, but bear with me :)*

I went to run some errands today, and though my original intention was to go see if my local  Sephora had the Glee Collection, I somehow came home with a ton of other polish.  These things will happen.

Let me just say, Sephora did NOT have the Glee collection, so I was forced to order them online. When I asked the saleslady about them she was all like, “No, we don’t carry regular O.P.I., we only carry Sephora by O.P.I.”  At that point I figured talking to her was a lost cause because helloooo mcfly! the Glee collection IS Sephora by O.P.I.

I replied, “They are Sephora by O.P.I., but it’s ok, I’ll just order them online.”

Now, I know
