Here is some watermarbling trys. The left side is always much better. It was hot today so the right hand dried all funny with bubbles. Oh well. I still like it. Will clean it up, later. I think I shall keep this mani. It was a fun effort! I used American Apparel-Hunter, Essie- Flawless a…
Color Club : Gossip Column This one was hard to photograph correctly. It's a little bit more green than blue. And it's darker. It's lovely. I love this one. Application was like butter. This could be a one coater ! But this is two coats. Hope you are doing we…
Pink and Purple Rain My mani was getting old and dented. So, I added some purple glitter bling and some stamping! This is stamping color Color Club: Ms. Socialite and Milani: Purple Gleam. It is one coat glitter but this is about three coats of glitter, because I kept denting it. The…
Essie Flawless. Hello happy nail polishers. This is essie flawless . Application is good. This is 3 coats because I keep messing up so there are some nicks and bumps. But I love this pretty creme pink. It is super shiny without topcoat. Ok. quick and simple blog post today. I'm st…
Blogging Funk = Glitter Time I'm in a funk. Sorry to say. Today and yesterday kind of suck. My brain is all over the place, but not in good places but funky bad places. It reflects in my blogging I guess. My pictures start to suck. LOL. I tried to get myself out of the funk by doin…
This one is sheer still at 3 coats of microglitter pink . Application is good. However I think I shall use this one for frenchys . This one has VNL. Three coats is annoying to use and wait for to dry. I'm impatient, though. I think it's best to not do nails when you are agitated …
I loved my last mani with the vases, but I got paint all over it when I was painting. So I decided to swatch some Zoya today. This is Zoya Susanne. It is a nice shimmer mauvy pink . I think I made a franken similar to this shade. It is a little slow at drying. But it is worth the wait. I…
Vase Nails Here are some nails based on vases, or porcelain. Anyway. These took long. I kept messing up. I used Ruby Kisses: French White as base. It is not a very good white. It is still sheer, kind of hard to apply and slow at drying. I need a better white. I used American Apparel:…
Happy Easter! Here is an attempt at stamping. I think I'm getting better. Easter pink stripe eggs. I used Zoya: Jessica as base. I used OPI: Party in my Cabana for the stripes. The plate I used was bundle monster BM20. My concentration is getting better. But I still messed up. Oh …
Color Club - Diva Driver ooh I love this one. Fuchsia shimmer is a little sheer but super shiny w/o topcoat. The polish has a nice application . This is 2 coats . This is my nail of the day today. So bright, so pretty. I really should be taking care of my nails more with polish. *I …
