Hi, all! I hope your day is off to a good start. I went to our local Fair last night and ate my little heart out. I honest to god look like I’ll be giving birth in about a month, lol. We also hit up the candy tent. You get a big bowl and walk around in a snaking maze-like pattern and pick out all teh candies. I got some taffy and gummies. I love my gummies. I was disappointed that they didn’t have any space ships, though. Remember those? They were like a wafer (communion wafers, for you Catholics) with little sprinkles inside. Those are my favorite candies. I’ll stop here. I can go on and on about food, lol.

Today’s polish is Run This Bayou from Octopus Party Nail Lacquer.

Run This Bayou by Octopus Party Nail Lacquer

Run This Bayou is described in the OPNL shop as a “green iridescent topper with green/gold and yellow/green iridescent flakies, copper/gold/olive multichrome flakies, and green/teal shifting pigment.” For short, it’s packed with goodness!

Run This Bayou is meant to be paired with a black polish, but I’ve seen it on it’s own and it looks pretty cool that way if you don’t mind the Visible Nail Line. Here, I have two coats of it over Black Knight by Funky Fingers, which you can buy at Five Below. A quick note on that- it’s a one coat black and stamps amazingly. I love the way this polish looks. Another very unique lacquer put out by OPNL. I also matted it, because flakies!

The matte top coat I used for this is Lucky 13 Lacquer’s We’re All Matte Here. I love the look of this polish matted. It just defines and showcases the flakies. This polish reminded me of dragon scales, so that’s how I arted it!

I like the way this turned out! For the scales I used Born Pretty plate BP109 and Gothic Gala Lacquers Gold stamping polish. So there you have it! Keep an eye on the OPNL shop- www.octopuspartynl.com and join the fan club on Facebook- The Octosquad to stay up to date on all releases and restocks!
