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!

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).

spam

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.

Last Friday Night Dupe

Liane mentioned how she might have picked up a dupe for Last Friday Night from OPI’s Katy Perry collection, from our Rite-Aid. Being curious, I invited her over for a dupe party.

Here is OPI Katy Perry and Sinful Colors’ Hottie side by side:

 Similar isn’t it?

 It’s obvious that Last Friday Night’s glitter is more chunkier and dense than Hottie, but the same jelly base and sparkles are present.

Hottie, Last Friday Night, Hottie. Pretty damn similar in my opinion! Hottie is a lot more shimmery while Last Friday Night has the glitter down. I don’t think anyone would ever wear these by themselves, so if layered I believe the effect would be identical.
So if you don’t want to pay eBay scalpers for LFN since it’s sold out every freakin’ where, Sinful Colors is a pretty good alternative (only 2 bucks a bottle… yeah I’d say it’s a good alternative)

Light blue French tip

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.
