Anyways, here's a quick look at what I've been up to since my last post...
I entered this mani into the "Wedding Belles" contest hosted by Dazzle Dry Quick Dry Polish. I used China Glaze "Dress Me Up", then stamped and painted pointed french tips with CG "White on White", then hand-painted roses with CG "Fifth Avenue" & Pure Ice "Love". This is the first time I actually did a mani with a particular contest in mind. I think they came out mah-velous, but the other entries are pretty awesome, so we'll see how I do...
Anyway, those didn't last long, cuz I wanted to use some of my newest Darling Diva Polish "Sugar and Spice".
This is the Pure Ice "Love" with a Pure Ice purple shatter (sorry, I'm too lazy to look it up right now), and of course the others are covered with Sugar & Spice. I LOVE the butterflies in this polish!! And they were actually pretty easy to get on to my nail...I only had to go fishing for 2 nails. 2 nails even had multiple butterflies. Anyway, this was a SUPER-girly mani, which, I guess, is appropriate for this polish :-) BTW, I love her little saying on the bottle: "The Happiest Girls are the Prettiest Girls. Be Happy!" AMEN, Sista!!
My current mani is going to be removed as soon as I finish this post. I painted Cult Nails "Iconic", and then topped it with Essie "Shine of the Times" flakies top coat. Then, I took off to the Colorado River for a weekend of fun.
It was pretty in the sun, and reminded me of red dragon scales. But, the River is not the place for a nice manicure, and this is how my nails look now:
Yup, I ripped my thumbnail off, and my ring finger is chipped. And this is my "photo" hand! And I was planning on entering a "Star Spangled" contest. Grrrr. Anyway, I've cut them all down, although not as short as that thumbnail. Short nails make me want to do dark mani's >:-)
I've also hit Sally's, some blog sales, and Zoya's website lately, so now I have Orly's "Dark Shadows" collection, some more China Glaze "Hunger Games", 9 more Zoya's, another Lacquistry (woot-woot), and some other Indie's. I also discovered Utopia's Polish on etsy, and she is my newest favorite indie! Her glitters remind me of Lacquistry, so there you go! ;-)
OK, that catches you all up. I'm not sure what I'm doing for my next mani, yet....
I like the Wedding Belle the best, really girly - and the beer looks yummi :)
