Hare Atolla

Hare Atolla. This is kindof like a flakie. Blue irridescent small hex's in a very sheer pink base. Not meant to wear alone, looks best layered, in my opinion.

This is a frankened pink jelly that I used for the base:

Revlon Facets of Fuschia: another Halloween mani

Here's another Halloween mani. Revlon Facets of Fuschia was perfect for my witch "costume". I did 3 coats with no underwear/base.

 



Odd, how there is one random green glitter in there!

Love my little witches hat and Victorian style ring!

 



Been a long time, been a long time, been a .. . . . .

Halloween nails, which only lasted a day due to the crummy quality of L.A. Colors polish.

 

L.A. Colors Purple Delight, FOUR coats!

The other hand. Chains!

 

 

And now, want to see something really scary? Do ya'?!

 

One coat of Purple Delight. A delight, it was not!

 

Here are some Halloween cupcakes I made.

 

Thanks for lookin'!

 

 

 

 

 





Fiery colors

Hi All! This is my first time trying China Glaze Ruby Pumps. I bought a mini bottle at Christmas time - such a cute bottle!

I love the red jellyness!

Here's a fun one, although the pics don't convey the awesomeness of Lynnderella's Change.



This was two coats of a no-name orange jelly mini $OPI.

Then two coats of Kleancolor Scarlet Chunky Holo.

Then I dabbed on Lynnderella Change on the tips.

Thanks for lookin'!





NerdLacquer

Hi Everyone! My posts have become more sporadic, but I'm gonna keep at it. This is a newly received shipment of NerdLacquer, purchased on Etsy.com.

L to R: It's Just A Flesh Wound, Event Horizon, Nebula, Hyperspace Bypass, Cyance Friction, Shiny.

Shiny, sunlight

Indoors, fluorescent light

Indoors, fluorescent light

This was two coats of Shiny, two coats of Gelous Advance Nail Gel Coat, and one coat of Seche Vite quick dry top coat. That's a lot of top coat, but you know how most glitters are. I can't tolerate any grittyness.

I am really happy with this polish. It seems like there are two shades of blue in this. I see mostly the light blue, but occasionally I see a flash of royal blue. It has the perfect balance of multi-sized silver glitter.

I will devote a new post to each NerdLacquer color. Also, I'm hoping to make a dent in my untrieds - I have a big box of them that I will show you at another time.

Thanks for lookin'!

A neutral glitter that wears like iron

This is Nicole (NOPI) Nicole's Nickel. It has micro and small hex glitter in the same shade of nickel, in a gray jelly base. Hopefully this will match most of my outfits this week. I found it about 6 months ago on clearance at Target - maybe it was limited edition? This is my first time wearing it and I really like it on nubs. Two thick coats with Seche Vite QD top coat. Still a little gritty. Removing it will be interesting!

Thanks for lookin'!

Love&Beauty Peach + peachy glitter

I was very pleased with this Forever 21 Love&Beauty Peach. It will be replacing my Revlon Peach Nectar, which has a crappy, streaky formula.

Topped with NYX Girls Dreamy Glitter

I haven't posted in ages for multiple reasons: I was working on a business venture that didn't pan-out, depression from that, the holidays, then just feeling uninspired. I'm not a witty or humorous writer either. The thing that got me going again was the addition of two new followers and a comment from an old post. Thanks!

Lynnderella Mysterious Ways

This is my first official Lynnderella manicure. I was craving something more feminine and delicate and this fits. This is three coats. Yes, it's very sheer, and I like that!

Unfocused, to capture the holographic goodness.

It is slightly more lavender than these pictures convey.

Thanks for lookin'!

Untried #4: Another $OPI mini + Icing Force of Love

A beautiful teal shimmer from $OPI. Sorry, I don't have the name!

This is really quite pretty and deserves to be

worn on it's own.

But I layered over it two coats of Icing Force of Love,

the DL dupe of Across The Universe.

Thanks for lookin'!

Untried #3: $OPI orange-based red creme mini

I'm glad I'm going through my untrieds. I've discovered some polishes I really like, that I had dismissed in the past. Here is a an orange-based red creme. I love this, especially on shorter nails.

Sorry, I don't have the name!

Thanks for lookin'!

Untrieds, Day 2: $OPI mini and Nubar 2010

I was pleasanly surprised with this $OPI mini. Sorry, I don't have the name. I threw out the package, not knowing the names aren't on the little bottles. It's such a nice steel-gray blue with some shimmer.

Three coats. This will be a nice base color for

stamping white and silver snowflakes.

Warning: Tip wear and dry cuticles ahead!

Then, I layered Nubar 2010 and mattified it.

Thanks for lookin'!

Trying the untrieds, Day 1.

I feel a little sheepish. I've been accumulating polishes like mad, and now have realized I have 51 untrieds! (and I have 6-7 on the way!) From this point in time, I will not buy any more polish until I've gone through ALL of my untrieds and posted them here. So here is Day 1:

L'Oreal Raven's Dream, WnW fastdry Correction tape

This is 2-3 coats of L'Oreal Raven's Dream (from their recent fall collection). It goes on streaky/patchy like all pale pinks seem to do for me. I don't really know why I bought it because I have so many pale pinks! This is topped with Wet n Wild fastdry Correction Tape. This is a fun glitter. I like the combination of small hex and square glitters. It makes me think of a birthday party.

Thanks for lookin'!

Another Halloween mani! Witchy stripes!

This design makes me think of either a witch's striped stockings or Harry Potter. Either way, I'm in the mood for Halloween!

This is two coats of China Glaze Senorita Bonita (love), stamped with black using bundle monster plate #20.

My schnoodle, Mattie, is ready for some trick-or-treating!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Guest Artist, Miss Trish

Happy Halloween!

Today's guest artist is Miss Trish. Look at this nail art - quite impressive!
 "I covered each nail with a clear base coat. Then I dabbed each color onto a paper plate and drew the designs with a tooth pick (pumpkin, cupcake, ghost face, black clouds, polka dots, spider and "boo"). The candy corn and ghost body was done with the polish brush."

 "I used Pure Ice- super star and black rage along with Sally Hansen Xtreme wear -cherry red, sun kissed, mellow yellow, going green and deep purple."

Thanks, Miss Trish. You have set the bar pretty high!

Halloween nail art!

This is three coats of Essie Marshmallow, stamped with various designs from the Bundle Monster plates. Some came out great, others so-so. The design on my pinkie is supposed to be chains. I had a little smearing of the design with the top coat - that requires a very delicate application which I have not mastered yet.

The witch!

Thanks for lookin'!

My first Halloween mani!

This is two coats of Wet n Wild fast dry Ebony Hates Chris, topped with L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Flamboyant.
