Orly Fowl Play

This is two coats of Orly Fowl Play. If you buy just one Fall collection polish this year, make it this one. LOOK AT IT. I gouged my index finger shortly after painting, so sorry about that. If I hadn't, I would have left this polish on for the rest of my life, maybe. Look at the pictures, then go buy it. 

Thanks for looking!

Gold Tiger

Hello! This is Julep Sienna (two coats; absolutely beautiful polish with good application) with Orly Instant Artist Jet Black stripes. Do you love it? 'Cause I do. Does it get classier than gold with tiger stripes? Hell to the no. You know who would love this manicure? Mike Tyson.


I just noticed that my thumb looks very strangely large here. It isn't large. 


Distraction from freakish thumb in 3....2.....

Orly Emberstone

This is two coats of Orly Emberstone from the Mineral FX collection. Some might want to use three coats, as I could see a leetle bit of nail line, but it didn't bother me. It is seriously awesome. I apologize for the chips and wear. I painted my nails and went straight to Weight Watchers, and somewhere between point A and point B, I got into a fight with a honey badger. It took what it wanted. 


Here are some more pics. Check out the pink sparkles. UGH it is so pretty. Feel free to click to embiggen!

Thanks so much for looking!

Fall Plaid

Hi! This is Finger Paints Cordur-Orange (I think it's two coats, and the formula was good), and the stripes are Orly Instant Artist in Yellow Submarine and LA Colors white striping polish (I'm not sure what it's called and it's all the way over there!!!) This manicure looked really good in person. I want to try the same design in different colors. 


Here it is in the sun: 

Thanks so much for looking!

Orly Rock Solid

This is two coats of Orly Rock Solid from the Mineral FX collection. The finish is so awesome! I love it. You can see a couple bald-ish spots on a some of my nails, but that's what happens when I paint them at night. As I've said several times. :) 


Let's look at more pictures, shall we?

Beautiful! Thanks for looking! :)

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.

Bright Leopard Print

For my son's 8th birthday, we had a wild animal show. So why not leopard print nails? My first time trying leopard print, and well... I need some practice. The base is 2 coats of China Glaze Recycle. The dots are all China Glaze Neons: Flying Dragon, Flip Flop Fantasy, Japanese Koi, Four Leaf Clover. The black is Orly Instant Artist in Jet Black. You can see on my pinkie and my ring finger, it started off kind of promising. But it is dark in my house, so I can't see very well if I do my nails at night. Also, I got lazy and tired. It was a cute idea, anyway. :)

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.

Thanks for looking!

Blue and Silver

Sorry it's been a while! I've been lazy. :) This is from a week or so ago. The base is two coats of Zoya Breezi (which is awesome. Seriously.). I layered this with Zoya Charla, Zoya Crystal and Orly Shine. I like it, but I don't think I did the greatest job. So here are more pics:

Hello Kitty Tips

This is two coats of Avon Cotton Candy. The white tip is Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in White Out. Black: Orly Instant Artist in Jet Black. Yellow: Orly Instant Artist in Yellow Submarine. Red: Zoya Tamsen. All my other nails were a complete fail, so you only get this one. I didn't even bother with topcoat on my other nails, so I got the worst sheet marks all over them. 

Thanks for looking!

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms! I love this. I want to do it again, and I know I will do a better job next time. Background is one coat of China Glaze Hey Sailor, black is Orly art polish in Jet Black, white is Wet & Wild, couldn't find a name, pink is Nubar in Belize Coral. I used a dotting tool for the flowers and threw a couple yellow rhinestones onto my ring finger. I wish I would have just done white flowers, but whatever, I still love it!

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!

Let's Go Kings!

I'm a huge L.A. Kings fan, and to support my team in the NHL Playoffs, I've done a Kings-inspired manicure. 

The products I used: Zoya Mira (2 coats), Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On (one stripe on each ring finger), and Orly Instant Artist in Jet Black (3 little stripes on each ring finger) and the crown decals are from the Fing'rs Edge Royal Punk Nail Art set. 

My hands aren't super-steady, but I think the stripes actually turned out better on my other hand:
