Blue, Bling & Black!

I'm on fire!

haha.

Seriously. I think it's the first time I post twice in the same week. Maybe this blog will see more life in the future!!

I'm so happy to be back at school. It's funny because when I graduated I was like: "School. Never. Again. I swear." And then, there's me, three months later. "I can't wait for school to begin.."

AAAANYWAY.

Onto the nails!

I manage slowly but surely to reduce my untried pile. You know that pile who never seems to be ending. It just keeps adding and adding. Until you have to restrict yourself. (Or at least try with a no-buy...)

I used for this mani two untried: "A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed" by GirlyBits and
"Pacific Blue" (the new horrible formula) by Sally Hansen.

I wanted something simple with a little touch of glitter. BECAUSE GLITTER.

It was only until I took the pictures that I saw that my cuticles were dry. Poor little things. Sorry for your eyes, ladies. (We shall not talk about my cleaning. Seriously, I don't know what happened.) Look only the nails, try to focus. I'm going to give them some TLC!

Indirect/Natural light

 

 I really like "A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In my Bed". It's so glittery. And the name. The name gets an A+.

Indirect/Natural light

Indirect/Sun (Yes I changed my hand. What the..)

 

You can see on the last picture I had a little problem with my chevron. I didn't apply my vinyls right so this is what it looks like when you don't follow the rules, kid!

 

Products used: "Pacific Blue"(Sally Hansen), "A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed" (GirlyBits) and "Black On Black"(Sinful Colors)

 

Happy Labor Weekend! (For those who don't work... like me..)

 

Happy polishing!

Purple Gradient Nail Art

Wooo. Time flies!

It's been almost three weeks since I last posted.

To be honest, I didn't have nothing interesting to post. I am newly employed at the hospital and I was in formation for the last three weeks. Since it's a pediatric hospital, they don't allow nail polish on their employees. Whaaaaaat. Yeah. You read it. So I was only doing my nails on the weekend when I was not working. And most of the time, it was only plain ol' color. (Pretty color, but only one color.)

Now, I began my certification and I'm back at school which means I can do mah nails!!! Happy dance!!

First thing first.

Yesterday was the Lacquer Legion time of the month and the theme was Weird Science. I was really excited since I am ''scientific'' person. I knew right away what I wanted to do. Biological Hazard Nails. That was the design I had in mind when I posted about this polish three weeks ago ;)

This is what it looked in the end. I'm really pleased with it! On my other hand I painted the nuclear sign, but I was too impatient so I smudged my design right after I was done! LOL. Oh well.

 

Products used: Generally Hazzardous (Pretty Serious Cosmetics) (So sad, we can't see the golden shimmer :( ) and Black On Black (Sinful Colors)

NOW. The real star of today's post. Gradient nails are the best thing. There is so much choice of colors. It's infinite. That's what I like so much about gradients. No one can make the same choice (except if you want to replicate someone's gradient. ;))

Indirect/Natural light. 

 

Indirect/Natural light.

 

 

Indirect/Direct sun.

 

Isn't it beautiful??

 

Products used: "Well Isn't That Special" (Girly Bits Cosmetics), ''Relative Dimensions" (Above the Curve) and "Indie Go" (ILNP). I topped this beauty with HK Girl (Glisten and Glow)

 

Do you like gradient nails? What's your favorite color combo?

 

Happy polishing!

Inspired By: mcpolish and The Lacquerologist

That awkward moment when your iPod take better pictures than your camera..

I have this old camera that is so crappy I can't take a good picture with it. Well, I can take pictures.. but only if the subject is far, very far. Very useful when you want to take pictures of your hand, huh?

My nails for the weekend were inspired by mcpolish and lacquerologist on Instagram. I first saw the recreation of mcpolish a couple weeks ago and loved it. It's only Friday that I decided to do them. She was inspired by The Lacquerologist so I went on her website and follow the tutorial she made. I think they turned out pretty well !

I know the quality of this photo is not the best, but for right now it's the only camera I have. This week I should get a better camera and hopefully make better photos!

Colors used: Blanc (Essie), Light As Air (China Glaze), Zealous (Revlon), Mimosa's Before Mani's (China Glaze), Papaya Punch (China Glaze), Blue Box (Quo By Orly) and Black On Black (Sinful Colors)
