It would be stranger if my nails didn't have mustaches on them.

The index finger is inspired by Scruffy from Futurama. Yellow: Two coats of China Glaze Happy Go Lucky. Orange: Two Coats of OPI Atomic Orange. Red: Two coats of China Glaze Hey Sailor. Black: Orly Instant Artist in Jet Black. I loved the colors so much I almost didn't want to put mustaches on them (!!!). My thumbs had combo mustache/beards, but they didn't turn out so well. My right thumb was a curly handlebar and a chinstrap (strange combination). My left was an evil-looking pointy goatee.

Peacock Feather Rhinestones

This is two coats of OPI Jade is the New Black. On my ring finger, I used a whole bunch of different rhinestones (I got these ones from Born Pretty Store) to make a design inspired by the eye of a peacock feather. Application tips: I put some clear topcoat (not quick drying) over the color and used an orangewood stick to pick up the stones and place them. I made sure to use a new stick, because I licked the end of it to pick up the rhinestones. Just how I roll.  It looks a lot better from far away, but I can give you a couple closeups, since you're on the nice list this year.

What's Crackalackin'?


This is Orly Passion Fruit topped with OPI Silver Shatter. I like this combination! I have been so lazy about blogging lately. Sorry about that. Still lazy though, so here's more pictures, including Passion Fruit by itself. It's a great color.

Orange and Yellow Tiger Stripes

Here's my right hand with its broken nails. I just think these stripes looked better. This is two coats of OPI Atomic Orange (love!!!) and the stripes are Orly Instant Artist in Yellow Submarine. I did a horrible job with the striping polish on my left hand for some reason. You can see it anyway!

Pink Jelly, Sparkly Tips

This is 3 coats of OPI Too Hot Pink to Hold'Em with OPI I Lily Love You on the tips. Those names are a whole lot of awful, aren't they? I love both of these polishes. It is inspired by a look I did for a (super-awesome bestie) friend with a base of China Glaze Purple Panic, and then I Lily Love You, and topped with THPtH'E.

Here's some more pictures!



Yeah, I messed it up, so what?! :)

The Lazy Girl's Manicure


Just add crackle. This is yesterday's manicure (Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Burgundy Orchid) topped with OPI Silver Shatter. The crackle is so awesome.

That's So Wizard





This manicure made me think of wizards. The base is three coats China Glaze Flying Dragon (Neon). On my pinkie, I added two coats of Kleancolor Holo Chrome. My ring finger and thumb feature OPI Silver Shatter. On my middle finger, I used Kleancolor Silver Star, which looks awesome, but takes a bit of work to get the stars how you want them.

Yellow, Green, Blue


This is three coats of OPI Fiercely Fiona with layers of Zoya Apple, Zoya Ivanka, and Zoya Charla. I didn't do the best job of free-handing this, but I do think the colors look great together. Seche Vite caused some shrinkage at the tips and I even put a layer of another clear topcoat underneath it. 

Here, have some more pictures!

Silver with Peacock Feather


This is Orly Shine (3 coats, although 2 would suffice) with OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous (badly) freehanded onto the tips. The decal is from Big Ruby Tattoos. The decals are insanely easy to apply, and so cute. I definitely recommend them. 

Up close on the decal!

OPI Ink and Nubar 2010


It was really difficult to capture OPI Ink with my camera. It looks a lot more purple to me than blue. Application was incredible. See my cuticles? That's with NO cleanup, and I'm a slob. I was going to top them all with Nubar 2010, but I really liked OPI Ink, so I just did my ring fingers. Two coats of OPI Ink, two coats of 2010, one coat of Seche Vite.

Are you ready for something amazing? You'd better click this. 


I KNOW, right?! I'll just leave this right here: Link to purchase Nubar 2010
