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?
The series of scheduled posts 😉 I will be gone to Florida for Spring Break, and am only bringing my Nailtique treatment so tonight I went all out making various looks to post over the week 🙂
Base color: Color Club Where’s the Soiree?
Blue shiny thing: Sally Hansen Hi-Def in Spectrum (which is a lot more gorgeous than the picture and uploading processes allow. It’s more iridescent, green-blue. Mmmm)

Paired Color Club’s What A Shock! with China Glaze Broken Hearted over it. Why? ‘Cause I can!
Neon green and pink? Yes, indeed. This only stayed on a few hours because the topcoat I used is pretty much almost out, and because of this it’s really goopy and causing mad shrinkage as you can see on my ring finger up there. And shrinkage BUUUUUUGS me.

OPI I Got a Date To-Knight! for the base, OPI Dim Sum Plum for the french tips. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Cherry Red for the roses, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin’ Jade for the plants.
My favorite one out of them all 😛
This thumb gave me SO many problems… It wasn’t even funny. First, the base pink refused to dry properly and I destroyed it twice with the scotch tape. Then I hit something, and wiped off a spot which I corrected with a dab of the base color and topcoat. It just didn’t like me last night.
But this is my favorite mani so far, in terms of being able to bring idea into reality 😀

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.
