Put The Sharpie Back In The Box

Got bored whilst waiting around for burly men to remove the scaffolding from my house (house didn't fall down, my roof shines), so gave the nails a damn good seeing-to.

Decided on a boring French manicure as I thought I needed a break from all the pretty colours. Started off with two coats of Elf Innocent, which is remarkably sheer but managed to hide the stains quite well. Unfortunately, it also made my nail tips look orange and streaky, like they'd been covered in some awful 80s fake tan, so I've not included any pics of it on its own.

Tips were done in China Glaze The Ten Man, then Sinful Colors Pearl Harbor (blue glitter). It looked rather spanking, actually.

 

Elf Innocent, China Glaze The Ten Man and Sinful Colours Pearl Harbor with friend.

Accent finger got a full covering of Pearl Harbor, and then I got a Sharpie out and drew a really rubbish skull, stuck some rhinestones on to represent a bow at a jaunty angle, then wished that I hadn't bothered.

Boring Post

Not posted in a while, so here's an update.

My associate and I have been spending a fair bit of time lately making plugs (or gauges, as some of you like to call them), and it hasn't done my nails a lot of good :( They look minging and paint-stained, and I keep accidentally drilling bits out with the Dremel. I'm ruining me nails as soon as I polish them (but haven't broken any, though, which is quite curious).

Hope your all groovy and froody, see ya soon :)

Wings of the Sparklebeast

The sun came out the other day, which called for a bit of Kleancolor Holo Chrome.

Two coats of Kleancolor Holo Chrome

It smells of CHEMICALS but it went on smoothly and only needed a couple of coats for opacity. Felt a bit rough though, but that was quickly sorted out with some top coat. I love this polish, it's well sparkly when the sun comes out. Full marks for blingtasticness.

Like the wings of a sparklebeast

The mega-sparkle got a bit distracting after a few days so I went over it with some black Konading, using BM208 and some MUA Shade 2 (black). Good stuff.

I Have Four Fingers

Found a Boots No 7 Gift Set recently, and have absolutely no idea where it came from :O It's got some nice colours in it, though. Here is Boots No 7 Milan posing on my fingernails.

Boots No 7 Milan Swatch

Milan is a nice, foily pink -- not my usual colour but it's nice too look at. Went on well and only took two coats for full opacity. Posing with four fingers today as I managed to stab my index finger with some very sharp scissors and it doesn't look very nice. Fingers are well on the piss in the pic.

This pattern on m73 covered up all my little mistakes, yay.

Haven't Konaded anything for ages, so I dug out Konad plate m73 and had a damn good stamping. Hurray.

Duochrome Crackhead

Wotcha,

Wow, it's been ages since me last post, sorry about that but got married (which was very nice), went to Sonisphere (which was very damp) then teh ills came along to join in on the fun. Hands don't work properly again, which is wearing a bit thin.

Played with some light colours as I can apply them at the moment. This one is four coats of Avon Nailwear Pro Star -- a frosty white polish.

Fascinating

Bit boring, really. I put some CND Sapphire Sparkle over the top of it, which didn't do all that much so I've not bothered with a pic. Some Laura Paige Black Crackle went over the top, then some more CND Sapphire Sparkle went over that and then this happened ...

Flipping 'eck, Tucker

Duochrome crackle completely and utterly owns <3
