Sinful Colors "Daddy's Girl"

Yesterday my chemistry text book attacked me (resulting in a jagged edge on my middle finger and a case of paranoia because I had to wait eight hours before I could attack it with a nail file...I really should start keeping one on me at all times!) before I could capture any pictures...but here they are!

I used Rimmel "Black Satin", 2 coats of Sinful Colors "Daddy's Girl), the tips in Sally Hansen "Celeb City" (it's actually silver, but the purple must've given it a purple cast?), and 2 coats of Wet n' Wild "Kaleidoscope".

Can you tell I love using "Kaleidoscope"?  I've only had it since Christmas, and it's nearly half gone!  It didn't actually all go to my nails, though it is great for covering up sheet marks.  I used it on one of my last art projects.  Speaking of which...sometime I'll have to upload pictures of my art, which I really enjoy, and hope you'll like too.

And another picture for good measure...next time I think I'll paint my tips closer to their actual length, I feel as if I'm not quite doing them justice!

On a side note, "Daddy's Girl" is a gorgeous color on it's own, I just didn't have patience for three coats of it to dry before tips and glitter...

A Disco Ball on My Nails!

I should really get the "lazy blogger" award.  I have no issue trying to find time to read other blogs, paint my nails, paint my friends' nails, take pictures (not as soon as I should, but before they get too chipped), and upload pictures...but somewhere along the way I lose the drive to actually post the pictures here.  So maybe a good idea would be to save a bunch of draft and periodically post them.  I dunno! But onto my disco ball from the vault...

OPI "Nail Envy" nail growth stimulater

free handed french tips using Wet n' Wild "French White"

konad bow using m59 in special polish in black

2 coats of Pure Ice "Oh Baby!"

2 coats of Wet n' Wild "Kaleidoscope"

and a topcoat, can't remember what though

In this one my nails are short (they're much longer now, since this was taken a month ago, gasp!), and my hands were really dry.  Thank goodness the weather has warmed up much since!  As much as I love this bow in other blogger's konadicures, I can't really say that I like it on myself.  My nails are too narrow and curved, so the image is distorted :P Perhaps it would look better on my thumb.

Oh, and I really adore glitter (made much easier with the foil removal trick).  See how it sparkles?
