The nails you see below is belongs to the lovely Victoria! She loves the houndstooth pattern, so I told her I’d stamp it on her, and she came over with bare nails and left with…

 I started with Nubar Midnight in matte.

 Stamped with Wet N Wild Black Creme. Yeah I know I didn’t clean up… Check out my thumb– I didn’t do so bad! There’s a visible seam though. 😦

Wanted to see what a topcoat would look like, so I did the thumb only. Kind of pretty 🙂

The next day after my OPI’s Do You Lilac It? with Shatter, I felt it was boring and needed pizzazz. So I added glitter, naturally.

My Nubar haul also came in coincidentally, so what we have on top is Nubar Purple Fire. The name is very misleading– it isn’t purple. Just an explosion of glitter 🙂

Check out the colors standing out!

Hehe attempt at punning… Let’s see how it goes? Stretching it? Eh, maybe. Ok.

We have OPI Do You Lilac It? here. Which is a very light lilac, more of pink actually to me, under OPI Shatter. I experimented with thickness and direction of the brush strokes, and as you can see it does create a very different look.

 Pardon the chop job hehe 😀

 The pinky is the thickest layer I ever did, and horizontal– you can see how chunky it really is.

Yes I felt the need for a million pictures. Thoughts? Do you like horizontal or vertical strokes?

Also, you know– It seems that Shatter doesn’t work on everyone, or over any polish? My roomie begged to borrow it and… It didn’t work for her! It just dried matte and clumpy on the top of her toenails. She did choose a Sinful Colors polish, but I doubt that Shatter would have refused to work over a certain polish? Weird. 😛

China Glaze is releasing a Crackle collection, which will have different crackle colors!! I am SO ordering that when it comes out! 😀

 Sorry ’bout the lobster hands. Something about this color combined with my artificial lamp made my camera go “Oh hell naw.”

This is OPI’s Here Today… Aragon Tomorrow in Suede finish, with Wet N Wild Black Creme for the dots. I had an idea of the military jacket, with the buttons on the side and when I completed it it came out just the way I envisioned… Scary! When I showed it to Nick, he said “I like it! It reminds me of a army jacket, maybe a peacoat with buttons…” I love how his vocabulary has grown by dating me.

Slightly more accurate color swatch, if you’re interested, and a close up to help you get an idea of the suede finish.
