Archives: Last Chance Idea

How many of you missed my cheesy blog titles?!

I began with Sinful Colors Last Chance, an awesome dark green. My swatch of it is kind of bad, I didn’t realize it was blurry 😦

Then I covered it up with Nicole by OPI’s Brilliant Idea. You can find this at Target– I think this is in their new spring/summer collection. It’s an awesome, densely packed, multi shaped chartreuse glitter.

Isn’t it awesome? Here, have some moar pics 😀

Another one of my great closeups. I’m getting so much better at these!

Sadly this slipped right off the next day when I was doing cleaning 😦 I’m blaming a nail strengthener that I put underneath. It was like gel, and had an interesting wet consistency. I think that compromised the polish’s ability to stay on. Or maybe because this was like five layers!

A few NOTDs

Nails of the Days, that is. I don’t really do them– I just post ’em as manicures, but I guess they would be categorized as Nails of the Day. Anywho. I’ve been focused on the Lippmann glitters for the last 9 days, I overlooked a manicure from back then. So this post will show you two manis, one from the past and one that I’m sporting now.

Base: Butter London Victoriana (light teal glitter)
Stamp: Sally Hansen Chrome in… something I forgot, it was a long time ago. But it’s a gold chrome.
Konad plate m78

Current manicure:

Base: Avon Electric Green, a light spring grass green jelly. About three coats to get it all evened out.
Stamping color: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin’ Jade
Plate: Bundle Monster BM19

Across the Universe in a Week!

After sporting my Lippmann polish today, I realized a very important thing….

I have amassed eight Deborah Lippmann polishes. (I was also an idiot and told my nail fanatic friend that I had seven, but it’s eight. Because I didn’t count today.) So naturally, I promptly declared, on Beej’s Nails, today to be the start of

Deborah Lippmann Week!(and a day)

To kick off this week, we have Across the Universe standing in the front of the polish line! Look– isn’t she proud to be first?

Gorgeous, gorgeous blue and green hexagonal glitter suspended in a sea of black jelly with slight duo-chromatic shimmer. 

Hell yes.

 Just showing off my engagement ring. hee!

My camera is kinda poopoo, so if you google this you will see a hella lot better swatch photos. After wearing it all day today, I had to matte it down of course (and plus a new matte topcoat came in, Butter London’s and I think I love it.)

Isn’t it awesome? It really brings out the glitter and sparkles.

Stay tuned for tomorrow! We’ll be featuring the lovely lady, Razzle Dazzle.

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.

St Patrick’s Day

Here be my mani for St Patty’s Day!!

Base color: China Glaze Tree Hugger
Freehanded (lol, isn’t it obvious? =S) China Glaze Starboard (from their current Anchors Away! spring 2011 collection) in various designs. Don’t worry, it’ll all settle themselves out…

Stamped with a Born Pretty fauxnad plate M71, with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin’ Jade.

I like it a lot, personally. =) What do you think?
