Going Greek

If you've read my blog for a while now, I think you might've noticed that I have a thing for gold flakie top coats. I really tried to stop myself from getting another, but yeah... obvious fail. Oh well!!! This mani reminds me of a Greek toga party. Dejavu? Yes... this mani I did previously also reminded me of one. I think I may just be itching to go to one. Hrmmm *plots* =P. My base here was OPI Don't Touch My Tutu (horrible name but hey, WHAT'S NEW OPI?!) and the gold flakes were American Apparel Meteor Shower.

OMG, this mani was THICK. Heeeeck, it was "only" 8 coats (1 base, 4 DTMT, 1 Seche Vite, 1 MS, 1 SH Insta-Dri) but my coats of DTMT were super thick due to my huge aversion to visible nail line (kill it with fire!!!). I'm pretty sure I'll be denting this some time soon but I'll try to enjoy it while it lasts! And oh yes, Meteor Shower had curling flakes. Damn the curling flake/glitter problem! I am shaking my fist at you, curling glitter gods! Whatever though, I made do. Love gold top coats too much to be too bummed about it. I am however, pretty bummed that this 18k gold flakie top coat from Sephora by OPI costs an arm and a leg. D= Whyyyyyy?!??! Guess I'll have to go working the streets to come up with that kinda money. Anyway, I think I've already rambled too much. As always, thanks for reading guys. Have a wonderful Thursday!

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

Are you guys getting tired of my gradient manis yet? I hope not =). I had some fun with today's Lazy Weekend post. Check it out!

Such a fun combo!

A couple more pics for fun. Enlarge to see it in full size!

My base was China Glaze For Audrey -- a Tiffany blue of course. My tips were covered with "diamond-like" OPI Crown Me Already. What do you guys think?? I personally love it! =D And oh yeah, that is TOTALLY a real Tiffany & Co. necklace*... uh huh.... Thanks for reading guys!

* Yeaaaah, no. Got this as a gift from a friend who was vacationing in China lololol

Lesbihonest, I Want You to Look at My Glittoris

Bahahaha, why yes, I am a 12 year old child. But then again... this is more along the subject of adult content so by default, that would technically make me an adult =D. I will keep telling myself that. Two manis for Pink Wednesday people!

Pahlish Glittoris - The name was proposed by Shannon's husband

This is pure gold. Gold, I tell you! Visit Shannon's Etsy shop here

A sexy matte "feuhschcia" as ManGlaze calls it

LOL, they are brilliant!

I love them both! Glittoris is a pink based polish with a crazy amount of holographic, red, and fuchsia colored glitter of various shapes and sizes. This includes both square and bar glitters! Not for the faint of heart but c'mon, with a name like Glittoris, what do you expect?? Lesbihonest is a gorgeous matte fuchsia polish that's umm... freaking gorgeous? I don't really know how else to describe it. I think the pictures have already taken care of that for me =P. And can I just say... I absolutely *love* the ManGlaze bottles! Their labels are pretty dang creative too. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff though =P. Anyway, enough of my babbling! Thanks for reading guys and Happy Hump Day ;).

Purple Jelly Flakie Gradient

*peeks in* OHAI GUISE. It's been a million and one years since I've written a new post! How have you all been?? Welcome new followers, I'm so happy to see all your beautiful faces =D. Finally back home and settled in from vacay. It's about freaking time! Apologies for the delay as my nails were seriously janky from all the luggage hauling and traveling. They needed a bit of rest and relaxation time too =P. Anyway, how about we get right back into it yeah?

As you can imagine, coming back from that long of a trip, my nail mail was pretty much piling up towards the ceiling. One of my newest babies included Verity Deep Violet which was used as a base here. Three coats of squishy purple jelly perfection. Omnomnom, she's gorgeous!!! I then did a gradient on my tips with Essie Shine of the Times. As always, tons of pics ahead...

There are several variations of the red-orange-green flakies but I found Shine of the Times to be perfect for building up a gradient because of how dense the flakies are. There was a bit of thickness on the tips due to all that polish layering but some Gelous and Seche Vite usually seems to take care of that problem. This look kinda reminds me of fire-y embers... a lit-from-within type of glow... you know what I'm talking about? No? Okay. No worries. Just nod and stare at teh prettiez with me =).

In other news, all that nail mail got me so excited that I somehow managed to stab myself in the left thumb with a gigantic pair of scissors . All I can say is, imma lucky mofo that it didn't hit any of my picture taking fingers =P. Alright you guys, hope this was good to come back to after my mini break from blogging. Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend everyone!
