Pink Thursday

Hehehe, so I haven't had a free Wednesday in a while to be able to do a Pink Wednesday theme but I figure since I had on Honolulu Orchid, I'd make it a Pink Thursday instead! I just layered the top with China Glaze's Lightning Bolt! It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself. I know the crackle craze has really died down now but this is a cute little reminder of why it was once oh so popular. =)




Black Mesh, Broken Hearted, Crushed Candy, Cracked Concrete, Lightning Bolt


I wasn't very interested in any of the metallics or shimmery looking crackles/shatters for some reason. I dunno... just the way they look. Not my thing. Oh well... enjoy!

Mythical Creatures Week: Vampire Monday

So Makeup Alley (MUA) has deemed it Mythical Creatures Week! It's pretty exciting to come up with a different yet creative mani every day for an entire week straight. I hope I'm up for the challenge! Monday brings us our first mythical creature - the Vampire. Vampires were once mere mortals who were turned into blood lusting creatures shunned by daylight and forced to live in darkness for the rest of eternity. Dramatic enough for you? Hahaha... then I hope this mani lives up to your expectations!





Rawr! Thirsty for some blood yet? =P


I had an extremely fun time doing this mani. First, I matte-ified the China Glaze Ruby Pumps on my main nails then did a shiny jagged french. They didn't happen to stand out as much as I'd like so I added some black jagged french tips with Sally Hansen's Blackout. The accent nail was Jitter Bug underneath OPI's Red Shatter. This is a really easy mani to do and if you're patient, you can easily get the same dramatic effect!  I hope you lovely ladies enjoyed this.  I'm excited for tomorrow's mani and I'm wracking my brain trying to think of a creative way to do that one. Totally looking forward to it! Until then, Happy Vampire Monday everyone! 


Yummy polishes!


So, who is YOUR favorite vampire? =P The inner tween in me finds it necessary to include pictures of the Salvatore Brothers for some much needed eye candy lol.
