To a New Year

Hi everyone. I did not forget about this blog :). I've just been preoccupied with life. Yes, life happens. This will not make up for my absence but it will show you that I have not been neglecting my nails (pinky swear). Remember when my nails were this long?

Well like I said, life happens! Family, friends, new jobs, new responsibilities, new nails! Now I normally don't do nail spam on my blog but I've been keeping a few mani photos on hand during my hiatus so here they are. It's mini spam but hey, at least it's something :D. Looks like it was back to basics, guys...

Dandy Nails Wingless

Hey everyone, hope all is well on your side of the world. I'm lazy today. So a lazy post it will be. Lots of pictures as always though -- that makes up for a lack of flowery descriptions and excessive rambling, right? It better. =P

One coat of Dandy Nails Wingless over a couple frankens

Below are shots of the frankens on their own

Index and ring: a periwinkle with silver shimmer

Middle and pinky: a dusty teal with silver shimmer

As you've noticed, I've been on a huge indie kick as of late. It sure doesn't seem to show signs of stopping... at least not in the near future anyway. I hope you all aren't getting tired of it as I have about a billion more indies to try out. They are literally popping up left and right, I'm not sure I can even keep up at this point! Anyway, time to mosey on with my lazy self. Happy Thursday. =)

Nostalgic Lacquer Pizzazz

I'm going to hit you all with a bright pop of green okay? Okay! Here's Nostalgic Lacquer Pizzazz layered over some green jellies. Some squinting might be necessary =P...

The base polish for my index and ring was New York Summer Hot Green and my middle and pinky was New York Summer Amaranth. Everything was topped off with one coat of Pizzazz and a matte top coat. Talk about bright, right?! Thanks for reading everyone. Hope the start of your week has been a good one!

Green Speckled Matte

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of green manis pop up everywhere and appropriately so! St. Patrick's Day is only one day away and what better way to celebrate than by decorating our nails =D. Green is one of my favorite colors so this was a fun one for me to do. Since I also haven't done a matte mani in a while, I thought it was about time to bust out with the matte top coat. I used Essie Navigate Her from the recent Spring 2012 collection for the base. It's a beautiful pistachio green creme that I almost wanted to just leave alone. Too bad my Winmax #9 speckled green top coat was calling out to me. Yay for St. Patrick's Day manis!

This was 3 coats of Navigate Her but I could've easily gotten away with 2 for complete opacity. The formula was perfect perfect perfect. I loved it - couldn't have asked for a smoother application! I also love how the speckled green Winmax glitter had bits of black in it too. Reminds me a bit of a those speckled Easter eggs, you know, if it was a mutant alien one =P. So are you guys ready for the weekend? Time to hit all your local Irish pubs and get your green celebratin' on! Wooooo!

Spectraflair Manis

Hi everyone, how have you all been? A bit of a special one today... here we have a double feature post consisting of two manis using a spectraflair franken I made. A little backstory behind this franken is that I actually bought the pigment from a seller online who has been providing the special rainbow magic to tons of us in the nail polish community. Sadly, I heard that he recently passed away. These manis are a thank you to Sid - you will be missed! Thanks for providing us with endless possibilities to create some awesome polishes and enjoy what we love! =D

Cosmestic Arts Purple for Base, 1 coat of Spectraflair

Cosmetic Arts Teal for Base, 2 coats of Spectraflair

Goodness, it's been SUPER bright out lately. Great for holo manis of course so I hope you guys enjoyed these. Spectraflair can pretty much make any base color look holo-rific! Also, since I am getting extremely close to that 300 follower mark, I'm thinking about including this in a future giveaway too. But, I shall figure that all out later! Till then, I hope everyone has been having a wonderful day. Love you all! XOXO
