The Lacquer Ring – Chartreuse

So this month it’s Jess from Once Upon a Polish’s turn, for our color she chose chartreuse. I am personally not a big fan of this color.. lol I had to improvise. The closest I have to chartreuse was OPI’s Did it on em, because this is such an ugly color, again sorry Jess.. lol I decided that it reminded me of the 70’s. I chose to make my nails look like a 70’s couch or pants. I stamped Cirque’s Mink using my plaid stamp as well as Avon’s Saturn using the same stamping plate, just stamping it over the brown.

Here is my inspiration lol

Here are my nails

 

 So there you have it, there’s my nails for our Chartreuse collab. It’s not that I hate this color.. its more that I think it looks terrible on my nails with my skin tone, okay and maybe a little that I hate it lol.

Here are the other Lacquer Ring manis- keep checking back as we might have some late posts 🙂

Stay tuned, in two weeks will be her pick for our nail art theme 🙂

Don’t forget to check out my blog sale, just sold a few things so I updated the page.

HMOTD 7 – Skull-tastic

Today was an exhausting day! whew! I got up and left the house by 8 to go to this, basically all day craft show. They have all kinds of crafts, baked goods, etc. Just lots of neat stuff, I usually get some people Christmas presents there. Anyway, I got home around 4, then we went out for drinks and apps for my mom, she is getting married Friday. so needless to say I am very tired so this will be quick! LOL

This was the stamp that I used with “China Glaze – Liquid Leather” I used pieces of the stamp and once on the stamper I wiped off what I didnt want to use and just used the skull heads and the crossbones. For this look I ddn’t want it to be girly since it’s Halloween.

The other two polishes used were “OPI – Did it on em’ ” and then “Sinful Colors – Call ya later” as the gradiant coat.

So what do you think of Skull-tastic ?

HMOTD 4 – Witch booties

Today is the fourth Halloween Mani of the Day and it’s witches feets 😀 I used “Ulta – Celebutante” on all nails, topped all but ring finger with “Sinful Colors – Call ya later”. The ring finger accent nail art was done with “China Glaze – Liquid leather”, “OPI – Did it on em'” and “Milani – white”

The second picture of my other hand is kind of blurry but it unfortunately was the best shot I got of that hand… lol plus it’s pretty with the shining of the light on the glitter 🙂

So what do you think of my with booties mani? What do you currently have on your nails?

NOTD 73 – “Why so Igneous”

Today is Cynthia’s Birthday so make sure you stop by and wish her a Happy Birthday! For todays NOTD, I have a GORGEOUS topper called “Why So Igneous by Hare Polish” I first saw this swatched on Tara’s blog and just had to have it! This is a gorgeous very jelly purple with green and purple flakes. I love how toppers look so different over every color. I ended up with it over “Essie – No Place like Chrome” I cannot wait to put it over black or orange for Halloween.

While we are on the subject, with October approaching very quickly now is the time to announce that I will be doing Halloween manis all month. Halloween is my absolute favorite time of the year, I am obsessed with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and just about anything Tim Burton for that matter, so it only seems fitting that I do a whole month of  Halloween manis!

Anyway back to the polish and how awesome it looks over different polishes, here are a few examples:

It looks gorgeous over every color, but I love it the most over the silver, it makes the silver look like a metallic purple under the topper, and simply fabulous over the black, those two are my favorite!

Since I am holding off on Halloween manis, I ended up with 2 coats of “Hare – Why So Igneous” overtop  2 coats of “Essie – No place like chrome” but here are two shots of it with one coat first.

Here is the final look with the two coats over two coats.

NOTD 66 – Teal Ribbon Month

Cynthia and Tara inspired me to do these Teal Ribbon nails and of course Nicole as they are seran wrap nails. The month of September I knew already as Ovarian Cancer but it was only recently that I learned that the Teal Ribbon along with the month of September is PCOS and Gynecological Cancer Awareness month. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2003, my mother, sister and grandmother also were diagnosed soon after. My mother has had gynecological Cancers so the Teal Ribbon is very important to me, now that I know they have designated Teal as all gynecological and PCOS Ribbon color as well.

My nails are made with the seran wrap effect with”OPI – Did it on em”, “OPI – Fly” and “Milani White”.  I don’t know how I feel about this effect just yet, think it needs some practice for sure. Then I did by hand some teal ribbons using “Fly”
