Floral Print

I used a base of OPI Mod About You and freehanded some cute vintage roses with some striping polishes from Finger Paints. Not bad for a first try!

Drizzle Nails

Recipe for Drizzle Nails:

-Two coats of Essie Lilacism

-A coat of Sally Hansen Disco Ball (sparkle topcoat)
-Put some pink polish on a piece of cardboard and stir it up with a toothpick till it gets tacky and stringy. I used OPI Pink Friday and Mod About You. 

-Drizzle the stringy, tacky polish across your nails

-Clean up excess stringy bits

Fini!

There are tonnes of YouTube tutorials to better explain the process.

I love love love how this looks, only problem is I kept picking off the pink parts!

Happy Hands "I've Made A Huge Mistake" (Arrested Development) Collection!

So here it is.. my indie virginity has been taken, and by none other than the fabulous Arrested Development collection from Happy Hands. I knew right away when I saw these polishes that they needed to be mine. Arrested Development is one of my absolute favourite shows, and all the polishes are so clever and pretty!

I picked up four of the six in the collection, so click the Read More button for some sexy swatches!

Sinful Colors Glass Pink

Today I have on Sinful Colors Glass Pink. I bought this a while back thinking it might be the same as Nicole by OPI Kim-pletely In Love, but it was a little lighter and way too sheer to be a dupe. Here are three coats, still showing quite a bit of nail line. 

Then to make it opaque I had to put at least three more coats on. So here is about six coats of Glass Pink.

This would make a much better layering polish I think, since at six coats it was pretty thick and icky. It looks pretty in the pictures though!

MMMMManicure

I'm calling this my "M" manicure for lack of a better term. I used an unnamed nude from Color Club for the base, the red is China Glaze Ruby Pumps and the black is done with a Finger Paints striping polish.

Leopard Nails

I finally tried out leopard nails for the first time and they turned out so well I figured I just had to be a leopard for Halloween!

I started off with a base of two coats of China Glaze Kalihari Kiss

I used a Colour Club unnamed brown and a black Finger Paints striping polish for the spots. I loved how it turned out! I`ll definitely be doing this again in different colours. 

OPI Skyfall (James Bond) Collection Swatches

Hi everyone! I finally got my hands on some of the Skyfall collection OPI put out for the holiday 2012 season. After I heard some rumours of these polishes maybe being pulled off the shelves due to copyright issues, I figured I`d pick up the ones I liked pronto, just in case. 

This is a 3 pack with Skyfall, Goldeneye and The Spy Who Loved Me. It comes in plastic packaging with Bond Girl Severine on the front sporting an Adele-esque mani with Skyfall and Goldeneye. On the back were some nail art ideas, but I totally forgot to take a picture of those. 

All polishes had pretty much the same formula (really nice) and are pictured without a top coat.
