Playing with the craft scissors…

So you’ve seen the tape manis all over, and I read one blog that cut up tape using craft scissors. I thought this was a brilliant idea! It took me forever until I finally found my old scrapbooking bag, and finally used them 🙂

I began with a base of Sinful Colors Unicorn (wtf is with the name though? Unicorn reminds me of silvery colors.. not quite yellow haha). I cut up pieces of tape with my craft scissor, and painted on China Glaze Adore.

It’s so cool. Hardly can tell which color was painted on (ignore the fact I messed up with the pinky) and it kind of looks like theatrical curtains).

Another spam

Had a frustrating week. But most of it is done. Behind in my blogging, sorry about that! I have 29 followers and I feel so excited that people outside my family and friends are reading my blog!

Here, have spam. (not the canned kind).

Zoya Crystal, a dupe to the OPI Reflecting Pool.

THIS IS GORG. It’s got gold flecks in it, and even in dark it will reflect what little light there is and make me look like I have gold nails. Love it.

China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, a gorgeous pastel light minty green. 

Stamping color: Sally Hansen Chrome in Cinnamon Diamond

Konad Plate

Aside from the slight smearing by topcoats, this was a great mani– it looked like easter eggs on my nails!

Butter London British Racing Green, with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure layered over.

BRG is a gorgeous dark green with a visible shimmer in the bottle but when I applied it, it looked like hunter green and there was no shimmer (at least none that I could capture on the camera. D:)

Color Club Love ’em Leave ’em

Taupe “holographic” (it’s really very very scattered. I couldn’t get a linear going)

I present to you my favorite look of all this spam. 

Base color: Color Club Ms. Socialite (gorgeous purple. I totes love it.)

Tip and accent color: OPI Show it & Glow it (from their burlesque collection, a fuchsia glitter)

Striping black: Color Club Where’s the Soiree?

Tips were freehanded

 Zoya Mitzi for base (a neon green matte)

China Glaze Crackle in Fault Line

China Glaze from their Tronica collection

Stamped with a BP fauxnad, with CG Snow.

Going out with a bang…

This is the last of my scheduled posts, and the last of my manicures. I decided to go out with a bang and experiment with sponging, a technique I have not really fully mastered. But I love it! I think I made a mistake picking such a herpes-tastic glitter. 😦 It was so hard to clean up, and you can still see some residue in the following photos. I apologize!

I began with a base color from Avon, also in my haul recently. This is Luxe Lavender, a very beautiful pale lilac. In love, I am.

I sponged Milani Purple Gleam on the tips and stamped with Sally Hansen Chrome in Black Pearl, with Konad M60. Inside the flowers are bullion beads from a Bundle Monster nail art package.

Here comes pic spam!

Topped off with Seche Vite, of course.
I am almost done with  my first bottle, wow… But it makes sense, I do other people’s nails and finish it off with SV, and a friend comes over and uses some of it too so that’s why it would go so quickly.

This is hands down one of my most favorite manicures EVAR.

Footprints in the Sand

A swatch of Avon Urban Grey. It looked a lot more grey in the bottle, but on me it was kind of disappointing and ew-ish with my skin tone. It has a hidden shimmer too. Reminds me a lot of OPI’s I Vant to be a Lone-Star!

Stamped with Sally Hansen Chrome in Salmon Pearl, with a Born Pretty fauxnad m73 plate.
