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!

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.

Zoya Kimmy

 This is two coats of Zoya Kimmy. It is such a fantastic color. SO sparkly. Also, Seche Vite doesn't work well with Zoya polishes, so I tried Revlon's quick dry topcoat. And it is fabulous! No shrinkage. It takes a little bit longer to dry than Seche Vite, but not by much. So hey, more pics!

Thanks for looking!

Fourth of July

I didn't love this manicure (maybe because I gouged my index nail on something), but I guess I don't hate it. The red is one coat of China Glaze Hey Sailor, the blue is one coat of China Glaze First Mate, the crackle is China Glaze Crackle Glaze in Lightning Bolt and the glitter is Kleancolor Silver Star. It was easy and quick. Maybe next 4th, I'll give myself enough time to do something spectacular!

Punisher Skulls

Hi everyone! This is kind of a tribute to my boyfriend, 'cause he's a Punisher fan. :) The white is Sally Hansen White On. The details were done with Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black. The red is Zoya Tamsen. Yeah, there is no way I could draw skulls with my left hand, so I just made the nails on my right hand look bloody. The thumbs on both hands look the best, I think. This was a difficult manicure to do, but I really like it. 

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!

Nail Fail!!!

Allow me to explain: Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Amber Ruby is gorgeous... just not over a bright red (Zoya Sooki, which is gorgeous by itself). You can see some of the awesome duochrome in this photo. In the future, I'll layer Amber Ruby over a black or very dark red. 

Oh, and I got dirt or something on my nails before they dried. Check out the bubbles:

Fimo Flowers

Click to embiggenize! My first time doing Fimo flowers! The polish is China Glaze Hey Sailor. I got these flowers in cane form from Born Pretty Store. I didn't do a perfect job, but I still really like this manicure!
