Ah...the polish ban is in full swing but that doesn't mean I can't look, right?  I've definitely been looking and keeping up with releases and I decided it's time to update the polish wish list.  I'm way too lazy (and don't have the time) to do another image wish list so this one is going to just be text--boooooring, right?  Sorry.  The order will be major, commercial brands then indies.

This is essie's newest collection for Summer called Mirror Metallics.  I think these will make nice bases for glitter polishes. ^^

Oh. My. GOSH.  I love love love Midnight Affair by Lush Lacquer.  It's a gorgeous glitter polish that has black and white matte glitter dots (small and extra small) and bars, matte black small squares, and shiny red bars and squares.  The application was amazing too--went on easily and required very little fussing over the glitter placement...and it was pretty smooth without top coat.  I added a little crystal heart to my accent nails and viola!  Done!  One of my favorite base colors with Midnight Affair on top...I want this mani to last weeks!!!  AND the crystals are still there after a hard day of work--even after lifting and assembling six heavy flip charts, boxes, and paper shuffling.


Colors Used:
 essie - Over The Top (base)
 Lush Lacquer - Midnight Affair

 Okay, this one is out of the ordinary color-wise for me.  A pastel pink base with  multi-colored glitter in it...it was my way of trying to diversify my collection.  However, this one was a fail not for the color but for the application.  I knew after painting this on my mom's nails that it was thin so I decided, like a idiot, to layer it over Alpine Snow.  It wasn't my finest moment, but, honestly, I do not own a pastel pink creme polish I could've used as the base.  It ended up coming out horribly uneven despite the white base and caused me to layer multiple times...and they came off in a day.  So much effort for ONE DAY of wear.  Yeah, not doing this again.
 

Colors Used:
  • Tony Moly - Shooting Star
  • OPI - Alpine Snow (base)
  • China Glaze - Midnight Kiss  (gold stripe)
  • essie - Sexy Divide (purple stripe)

Last post for the night!  Promise!  These are the nails I wore to my sister's wedding.  They were gorgeous and, oh my gosh, so awesome.  My toes matched so it was a flakie overload.  My nails were jewelry on their own!



Polishes Used:

  • essie - Dive Bar (base)
  • Nfu Oh - No. 52 (blue flakie)
  • Nfu Oh - No. 51
  • China Glaze - Midnight Kiss (gold foil)

From last week until today I've been wearing a gorgeous dark grey shimmer frost by essie called Over the Top.  I absolutely LOVE this color.  It's a nice in-between color that isn't too dark (like black) but isn't too light (like newspaper grey).  The shimmer frost gives it a nice inner glow, but layering Tony Moly's Earth near my cuticles gives it more shimmer and interest.  I cannot stop raving about how awesome Earth is--charcoal grey base with light blue and charcoal fine micro glitter and reddish-pink micro glitter.  I'm honestly thinking of getting the entire Tony Moly Galaxy collection.

Purple Passion

I had an urge for purple after a botched art effect on my SHSE polish strips failed.  I turned to my previously unworn purple polish by essie titled Sexy Divide.  GORGEOUS color.  It's from the Dive Bar collection that was released last fall/winter--lovely.  It looked a bit plain so I added glitter tips and hearts on my ring finger in a holographic silver.  Purple passion indeed.

Painting Spring

aikolynn: (Krystal - Flower)
 This past week saw colorful spring-y nails as I attempted a painted canvas look.  I honestly loved these nails and they stayed on the wholeweek!  I'll definitely be redoing this technique...but maybe I'll try different shades of blue or something along those lines. ^^



 
This is possibly one of the easiest nail art techniques.  I bet it looks gorgeous under black shatter too!  Probably something along these lines! ^^

Edit: WOW.  Total Fail.  I forgot to put my base color--OPI Alpine Snow.

It isn't about "like," but about "love."

When I call you, drunk, and speak of my love for you, all you have to do is listen.
