Mythical Creatures Week: Unicorn Friday

Aahh, I must say that I absolutely *love* the mythical creature today. Unicorns are one of my favorite fantasy/imaginary type of creatures and I couldn't be more happy to do a mani focused around that theme! Here I have a mani that was inspired by a member of MUA named Jiloverz and she did an incredible job with the original. This is my humble attempt at paying homage to her so I hope it doesn't disappoint! Beware, lots of pics ahead! =)







All pictures taken in the sunlight to *try* to capture the holographic effects!


So I used all my China Glaze OMG polishes in addition to Nubar Reclaim to get that true green holo color in as well. Stamped with Sally Hansen White Out and image plate BM201. Ahh!! This mani is so amazing in real life, you must try it out! So sparkly! So ... so holo! It's kind of what I'd like to think unicorn barf would look like - holo stripes and rainbows lol. I hope you enjoyed this mani because I sure did! And yay to the weekend... it's freaking Friday! TGIF! (can you tell how excited I am? hahahah)

Mythical Creatures Week: Dragon Wednesday

Hello Lovelies, today's mani for mythical creatures week (if you can't already tell from the title) is the Dragon! PeekTorZ below.





Different areas in the sunlight



Under artificial light. Look at that holo! =D


On my main nails, I used Zoya Apple as a base. I then stamped over it with China Glaze Cherish from the Romantique Collection using image plate BM209 from the second bundle monster set. I then french tipped with Nubar Reclaim (a stunning green holo =D). My accent nail is OPI DS Reflection for the base and I free handed the flames with Art Deco in Yellow and Orange. 

This mani was actually easy peasy once the polishes were dry. I hope I captured the scales of a dragon on my main nails and its fire-y breath on my ring finger hahah. Fun times, this mani was =). Tomorrow's theme is Mermaid nails - I'm wracking my brain trying to think of something for that one and I can't come up with anything yet! Eek, time to start brainstorming. Happy middle of the week, y'all!
