A Midsummer Night’s Skittle

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

I had big plans for my nails for Midsummer back in June, unfortunately I had a nasty cold so I had to stay home and celebrate on my own, but at least I had a fun manicure to look at =)

I decided to do a Skittles manicure with colors that more or less matched the dress I was supposed to wear.

I decided to do the colors in the reverse order on my right hand.

The polishes L-R: Lovie No. 93, H&M Bella’s Choice, KleanColor Mango, China Glaze Gaga For Green, China Glaze Dance Baby

I think I applied about three coats of each polish, Mango needed four to get even.

And here’s a shot with the dress:

I’m all for happy colors now!

Space Nails

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Wow, I’ve been really bad at updating the blog lately, and also keeping up with all the blogs out there. There’s been a lot going on both at work and at home, and the darkness doesn’t really make it better when it comes to taking photos. But today some sun came through so I could take these pics of a space themed look. I’ve seen manicures like this before, last one was at Annamax, and since I’m going to a sci-fi convention this weekend it felt like the right thing to do =)

The base is three coats of Eyeko Cosmic, a black polish with tiny holographic glitter in it. Then I went crazy with a sponge and the following polishes: Isadora Mellow Yellow, Color Club Hot Like Lava, Color Club Foil Me Once, Orly Lunar Eclipse, and some Color Club Electronica. I didn’t really have a plan with it, I started with the yellow and then added some more colors next to it. After that I topped it off with OPI Servin’ Up Sparkle and a coat of Seche Vite. Now that I look at the finished result, I think it more looks like space puke or something, but I still like it.

Some pictures in various degrees of sunlight:

And the last one is taken with flash:

I don’t know if this is holographic enough for holo Friday, but at least it’s sparkly!
