Halloween!

Halloween spider web nails! I decided to try some rub-on nail polish. It was really pretty easy once I got a system going for putting them on. I put a coat of SV over them when I was done and they just look great.

Taupe Tips

First came two coats of OPI Meet Me On The Star Ferry, then I taped off the ends of my nails and painted a french tip in Pure Ice Taupe Drawer. I also noticed at this time that I have two Pure Ice polishes that are labeled Taupe Drawer. One is more pink and the other is this more purple colour. Sigh...

Spoiled Pink Lemonade

This mani had potential. A great idea from one of my sisters... I just didn't feel like I had the right colour of pink in my collection for this. But I'm on the hunt for one! First layer is the Pure Ice Taupe Drawer, then scotch tape for the tip: Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow. The dots are simply Finger Paint Papier Mache. Can't wait to try this again with a pink that makes me happy.

New DVD

This was nearly impossible to take accurate pictures of, but it was completely gorgeous in person of course. I started with a base of Finger Paint Black Expressionism, then two coats of Sally Hansen HD DVD. Then I cut out the little starburst like shapes from scotch tape, positioned on my nail and painted on the same black. DVD is blue from straight on and purple from a side angle. Love it.

I wanted to share this blog because it's the place I find *most of my inspiration. And while I don't state that fact in EVERY post I share, it should be noted. She has fantastic ideas and flawless execution. I could look at this blog for hours and when I first discovered it I probably did.

Big $

So... one time I used this colour to as a light second layer over a blue colour and it was gorgeous. This time I layered NYC Big Money Frost over Finger Paint Black Expressionism... and I hated it. But... now you can see what not to do.

Pink!

Another new polish by Sinful Color. This one is just called Pink. What a waste of a perfect opportunity to come up with some quirky name for nail polish. Oh well... True to their formula (at least so far in my experience) it goes on very sheer and takes at least 3 coats to get good solid coverage. Also, it dries to almost a matte finish. And it is just as electric in real life as it looks in the pics. Blinding.
