Mistletoe Matte!

I wanted to make my green nails different. I used Orly "Meet Me Under the Mistletoe" and Butter London Matte top coat. It looks like velvety pine trees to me. I wanted to put ornaments on them, but red didn't show up, gold wasn't bright enough, and then I got ticked off. So, I put silver and gold hearts on it. They looked like sparkley ornaments, but then when I put the matte topcoat on them, they didn't anymore. I still love how this polish looks, but I was frustrated with the art so I'm not happy about any of it. Hope you all are having a great weekend.

Spiders! (Not scary though)

I bought this color because I saw it on someone else's blog. It is so NOT me, yet I was drawn to it. It's Orly "Nite Owl". (Also, don't look at the abundance of top coat that are in my cuticle area) I used Konad special polish in black and BM13 plate by Bundle Monster. I think it's cute and simple.

The truth is out there!





Hi everyone! I was feeling a bit nostalgic for some great TV shows. Also, I have been swatching all of my polishes, which has caused me to do my nails LESS...It's shocking! And it's also caused me to think, wow, I have a LOT of polish. I'm almost at 500 bottles. It seems ridiculous, but it's my other weakness...eye shadow is my first. Anyhoo.... I bought Orly "Androgynie" and hadn't used it yet. It's somewhere in between a regular polish and a jelly and has tiny and hex glitter. For this particular application, I wanted just a little more sparkle so I added I coat of  China Glaze "Fairy Dust". This is a glitter I always go to. It helps give a little more Umph to a polish...like a day or two later when you want a different look, but not to change your polish completely. Who am I kidding, I'm lucky if I wear any for more then three days! Then I saw where it looked kind of "spacey" together and thought, hmmm, aliens. So, my Fab Ur Nails Fun 2 plate came into play. They are actually a very pale/pastel green, and not white. Would be awesome if they glowed in the dark :) Maybe I could double stamp them with glow polish, or they could be extra ghosty looking ones in the background...So many ideas, only 10 fingers! Not fair! Ha! I can't believe how many coats of polish I sometimes have on at one time! This is 2 coats of base (wasn't sure about staining), 4 coats of "Androgynie", 1 coat of Seche, 1 coat of "Fairy Dust", Konad spacial polish for the alien heads, and 2 more coats of Seche. What?! Hope you all enjoy :)
