Laziness = Good Mani Results?
Hrmm... it must be true because I was too lazy to take off OPI DS Extravagance from my last mani so I decided just to polish right on top of it! Here we have my very humble attempt at a laser mani originally created by the beautiful Miss Jane of nailside. If you've been living under a rock, definitely go check out her blog, it is nothing short of UH-MAZING.
So I layered OPI Swimsuit...Nailed It on top and added some flakies called Big Universo Espectral from Brazil -- a beauty sent to me by a very wonderful nail polish buddy! To finish it off, I added a matte top coat by Hard Candy. Here are ze results...
Quite pretty if I do say so myself ^_^. Sorry for the picture overload but I find the more pictures, the better! I hope you guys are having a wonderful week. One more day and it's Friday! Woooohooooo!

Glitter Gradient: Essie Nice is Nice + OPI Crown Me Already
Hi guys, a few things I'd like to share before I get onto today's post:
I had a mini accident involving my ring finger hence all the redness =(. But anyway, the base color was Essie Nice is Nice and the glitter gradient was done with OPI Crown Me Already. I passed on Crown Me Already so many times before I finally got it. I'm so glad I did because it's a limited edition polish! BTW, you can find it both of these at Aveyou. How's that for some incentive? =P Have a wonderful rest of your weekend everyone!

Diagonal Stripes: OPI Ogre the Top Blue + Sally Hansen White On
Hi people! So I decided to experiment a little bit more with a striped scotch tape mani today. The colors I used for my main nails was OPI Ogre the Top Blue from the Shrek Collection and my accent nail had a base of Sally Hansen White On. Instead of straight vertical stripes, I did a diagonal pattern just to see how it would turn out. I didn't want to do too much so I only did an accent nail for experimentation purposes. =P
Ogre the Top Blue is actually a pretty bright blue creme that was opaque in one solid coat - I did 2 though hahah. I would say it leans towards a turquoise. Really pretty and perfect for bright sunny weather. The stripes I did were actually pretty easy to do. The only trick was to get them spaced properly and also because my nails do have a pretty high C curve, I had to make sure the tape pieces were lying flat. Overall though, good stuff! Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all have a great weekend to look forward to!
It almost reminds me of a sailor pattern.
This gives me future mani ideas hahah...

OPI Stranger Tides + Zoya Veruschka
It seems as though all my lazy posts fall on the weekend. Coincidence much? Naaaaah. Lazy post, it is!
So base color was OPI Stranger Tides covered with a top coat. Then I zig-zagged it up with some Zoya Veruschka (<-- I hate trying to spell that name! I always have to look back at the label). Veruschka is actually a matte finish - hope you can tell. I am in love with Zoya polishes... I think they fall among my fave nail polish brands <3. Happy Sunday everyone!
Zig-zaggy goodness!
I loooooove greens! Why haven't I been wearing more green?!
