Orange Slices

You ever think too many options of nail polish is a bad thing? I had that sort of weekend. I couldn't decide what to put on, and then how to jazz it up, so I sit there and just look at the copious amounts and feel overwhelmed. Then, I realize that I love that I have this many options! Anyway, this is a nice neon orange Sally Girl "Amped". I used Konad special white polish (even though it looks pink for some reason) and Bundle Monster plate 308. Have a great Monday!

Rainbow water marble

I have been on a water marble kick lately. My sister was interested in learning in how to do it, so now I'm all about it again. This is actually 6 colors, but the blue kind of fades into the purple. Oh well. I used Sephora OPI "What Aura Gonna Wear?" (pink), Sally Girl "Orange" (scented orange), OPI "Candlelight" (yellow), Sally Girl "Lime" (green lime scented), Sally Girl "Coconut" (blue coconut scented), and Sephora OPI "It's Hippo to be Square" (purple). Also, with the combo of the scented ones, my fingers smell like a bag of Skittles...and that's not too bad! :) As all water marbles turn out, I think my thumb was the best!

Hope you all have a great Easter weekend!

Easter egg nails

Hi guys! I have been wicked sick and off of work for 2 weeks. I mean, if you've ever had too much to drink and went to lay down to sleep and the room spins, this is what I have been feeling for these two weeks! And not even with the fun of the alcohol before hand. Really, I don't think I've had even a beer in 3 months. Anyway, since I sat here and did all sorts of nothing for that time, I thought I would do some water marble nails. I started with the base of OPI "Alpine Snow". Then I used Sephora OPI in "How Cute is That?" and "What Aura Gonna Wear?", and Sally Girl scented polishes in "Coconut" and "Banana". So not only is this very Easter egg looking, but it smells like suntan lotion too.

Black and gold

Happy Monday! You ever need a weekend to recover from your weekend? Anyway, I keep using this Sally Girl "Poser" (the black) and end up hating it. It's really nice by itself, but when a top coat is put over it, it gets weird. It's like putting water on a dried out sponge, like it doubles its thickness or something. It thickens so much, it almost looks like I have a gel polish manicure, or acrylics. Also it tends to shrink after about an hour. See where the tips look worn? This is only 12 hours later and 8 of those hours were sleeping, so not like scrubbing a toilet or anything! At any rate, I used my Konad plate M76 and Konad Special polish in gold for this design.I like it, but....meh.

Southern belle?

Hi guys! I hadn't done my nails for a few days since I was really enjoying those alien heads I had posted last week. I have this Sally Girl color that I love and wasn't sure exactly what to do with it. I used it as the base color for this design. It's called "Epic" and it is like a neon blue. The photos I tried to take didn't really capture the loudness of this color, so this is the best I could do. What I love about it is even though it is kind of a neon (seriously, it made my eyes hurt when it was plain), it's NOT a matte finish. I like a matte finish, but I don't want to be trapped with it, you know. And even if I wanted it matte, that's what matte topcoat is for, right? :) Anyway, I have been jones-ing for blue...in search of a bottle of Essie's "Bikini so Teeny" which is sold out everywhere I have looked...so I settled for this right now. I used Konad special polish in pastel blue with a Konad plate M56 for the bow motif, and a dotting tool for the polka dots. Even with the tool, I hate my polka dotting skills. I always want to add too many. I think this came out cute though. It reminds me of a southern belle, or Blue Bonnet margarine. Have a great Monday!
