First patchwork mani! well technically.

 Blurry, but this is an extremely good representative of the color in person.

Nubar Petunia Sparkle over Color Club Where’s the Soiree? with scotch tape 😉 So easy Shauna could do it!!

I used this manicure as a reward system for me while cramming over Paradise Lost last night– when I finished 200 lines, I would get to paint on a section and when I finished a book I could do the whole hand. It did take me the whole three books of Paradise Lost that I had to finish by then, to complete the mani. 🙂 Slower yes, but rewarding.

Knight’s Stripes

 So I replaced it with Color Club Where’s the Soiree for the base, and Nubar Knight’s Armor for the top. I usually reach for my Wet n Wild Black Creme, but the CC one was within reach so I went for that instead.

Stamped over it with Sally Hansen’s Silver Sweep, off a BM plate. I like it a lot, especially how if I straighten my fingers out so that all the fingertips line, the stamp goes across in a straight line.. 🙂

Mermaid

 Color Club Untamed Luxury, with Wet N Wild Black Creme stamped over.

 Yeah, in this pic you can see I smudged it a little. At least I took it off immediately! The green and the stamp image that I chose reminded me of seaweeds… and the color… mermaid-y? I don’t know.

This is Color Club Untamed Luxury, which is a teal shimmer. This is a pic of the base, kind of lumpy and quick to stain and extremely sheer.

Hot Pink Matte

 Base color, OPI La Paz-itively Hot, in matte. I have a few things to say about this polish/formula but eh.

 Stamped with a BM plate, with my staple, Wet N Wild Black Creme.

Didn’t like it matte that much, so added a top coat!
