It’s a friend of mine’s birthday today, and Nick thought it’d be fun if I painted “HBDAY LIANE” on his fingernails and here is the proof 😉 First time doing letters, and it’s not too shabby!

She actually seemed to really like them! Then again she is also a lacquerhead…

So I obtained the Forever After collection, which is of six colors with equally awesome names and colors. I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to use for tonight, so the obvious solution was to use them all! I’m not sure if I should have used Fiercely Fiona as a base, though. Bit neon for me. I also don’t wear yellow.

 Yes yes I was excited and took the pic right after the top coat was applied. So you get flooded cuticles! The OPI formula for this one was a bit thinner than I was used to and kind of streaky, so I put a bit more product on my nails than I expected to and hence the cuticles drowned in yellow cream. In these pictures it seems to be difficult to distinguish between the light blue (What’s With the Cattitude) and light purple (Rumple’s Wiggin’) dots.

 The glittery ones have a glitter as a base, from Claire’s– let me tell you that thing comes on clumpy, and DOESN’T leave. Bad idea for a base. I used a light blue shimmer by a Perfect 10, and Midnight Blue by Sinful Colors. I originally wanted to do the Claire’s glitter, but it didn’t spread very well over the water.

 Really bad one haha.

 The ring finger on the left is my favorite!

 My fiance, Nick’s favorite. He also assisted me with the water marbling activity because he was so fascinated by it.. 🙂

Lessons learned? Don’t use glitter in water marbling. They tell you to use plastic or glass bowls/cups FOR A REASON. We tried to be cheap and use a Styrofoam cup but after one marble the bottom corroded through and we had water all over our bathroom counter. Also don’t use Claire’s “top coat glitter” as a base (unless it comes out perfectly like that ring finger above).

I know, I know I didn’t clean up my cuticles. My routine is just to slap on nail lacquer, then go off to the shower when they’ve dried. However I am preparing a full manicure arsenal that’s going to be busted out on my birthday… February 9th! 😀
So here you see a medium blue shimmer, and a light blue shimmer for the tips. I would have to say this is one of my favorite looks on myself.
