A few more NOTDs

Some old NOTDs for ya 🙂

A water marbling attempt. I don’t remember what colors I used. I just picked them and then realized this is like my third BLUE water marbling. I need to go into a different color territory, lol. I was testing out using masking fluid as a replacement for Liquid Palisade, which worked excellently well.

Base color: Nicole by OPI The Next CEO
Stamp: Wet n Wild Black Creme
Stamping plate: BM12

Base color: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Effects in Plum Luck
Stamp: a gold chrome, I forget, lol.
Stamping plate: Konad M60

Base color: OPI Skulls and Glossbones
Stamping color: Wet n Wild Black Creme

Boom Boom Pow

We’re nearing the end of our Lippmann week, and I have something unique this time. Today Was A Fairytale was layered over a fantastic red creme, well this time, I layered it over a new arrival: Illamasqua Milf.

Buddies, all ready to go 😉

Milf is a gorgeous mint pastel creme. GORGEOUS. Very eye-catching too, and looked great with my skin 😀 Totally worth the money.

 Boom Boom Pow is suspended in a clear shimmery base, with gold hexagonal glitter mixed in with small round glitter.

 Boom Boom Pow is said to have the dust of 24k gold. 😉 Gold glitter looks extremely luxe on mint polish, and I’m glad I took Liane’s recommendation.
No matte shot, because I forgot. 😀

Who’s a Superstar?

Today we have Deborah Lippmann Superstar, featured for the third day of the Lippmann theme week (and a day)!!

Sup?

 Superstar is another lovely dense glitter. It has small dark brown and copper flecks of glitter suspended in a light brown/espresso jelly base. I like this one, it’s a sophisticated color.

The only problem I had with this was that it’s very very gritty. I had two thick coats of Seche Vite, and you could still feel the bumpiness (not the rough sort.)

Then of course I had to… Break out the matte topcoat! I used Essie Matte About You in this one.

I like this effect, the gold/copper was brought out a lot. The dark espresso base wasn’t so overpowering anymore.

Enjoy 🙂

I’ve been back from Florida (which has been great to me, by the way) since Saturday and have gone a bit crazy switching my manis out. So I bring to you a spam of pictures and manicures that I’ve done.

 Base: Rimmel Night Before

Stamped: Pure Ice Outrageous
Bundle Monster plate

 Base: Milani 3D (holographic collection)

Checkers: Zoya Savita

I wasn’t nuts about this one. You Just Wait would make a nice base for a muted down french, but I couldn’t get the french tip stamp to cooperate with me.. See how they all kind of lopside?

 Base: Sinful Colors You Just Wait
Stamped: Color Club Where’s the Soiree?
Bundle Monster plate

 Base: Essie Nice is Nice (From their Spring 2011 collection)

Stamped: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin’ Jade
Konad

I bring to you my official favorite yellow as of now. Needs about three coats as it is streaky, but evens out and builds up nicely. Also looked great on me.

Avon Sunshine

What I have on now. Nummy. 

Avon Powerful Pink with Nfu Oh 48 layered over.

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.
