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

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'!
