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.

Rando Nail Art

This is turning less into a blog and more into an archive of nails I've done that I can go back and look at later. I'm not really one for writing a lot so I can see some my posts headed in this direction. It's not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but here goes anyways!

So here is some nail art.. some of it works, some of it is downright ugly. Click Read More to see for yourself!

Graphic Nails

Hola todos, today I have a lovely colourful mani done with some striping polishes I felt like playing with! I don't have lots of time to write this post (I'm going out for sushi!) so I'll get right to it. All colours are by Art Club except for the yellow and black which were from Finger Paints. 

Here is a colour block manicure, all artsy fartsy looking:


And here we have stripes! I found the easiest way to do both of these designs was to do the colours first then outline in black afterwards.

Essie Lilacism?

Hello fellow nail people! Sorry I haven't been around lately, been booked solid at work. At the drugstore, I found two versions of Essie Lilacism. The normal purple one is on the right, and then theres this strange blue version on the left.
