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!

Pretty Serious Cosmetics; Nail Mail Of the Week

Woohoo ! Finally! I have my own camera! Since yesterday, I just take everything in photos. I JUST FREAKING LOVE my camera! She's perfect! (Yes, it's a she. I decided since it was perfect, it had to be a she. :P)

I received earlier this week this awesome package from Pretty Serious Cosmetics. It was a huge cross on my wishlist. I had these shades for ever on this wishlist and I finally took the plunge. I'm so glad I did it, too. They are perfec-tion.

That's all the shades I bought in their cute little box!

Grimm Demise is a sparkly teal polish. I could keep watching this polish for ever and still be amazed. True Story.

 



 +

 

 Stuck In The Middle is an iridescent pink/red. It's from the newest collection, I'm pretty sure about it. It has shimmer and it was really hard to capture all the amazing-ness. I tried my best. :)

Look at all these reflections. Wow. I don't find another word to describe Stuck In the Middle.

88mph is the one I was the most excited about. Not only because it's inspired by Back To The Future (HOW COOL IS THAT, HUH?), but also because it's so SPARKLY! I just kept looking at this polish and didn't know what to do with all my excitement.

The sun wasn't cooperating so I don't have a picture with the sun. It kept hiding until I was done. Mean sun!

Mummy Mush is a golden glass shifting duochrome. Pictures don't do it justice!

 

+

 Purple Monkey Dishwasher... Oh.em.gee. Another lemming of mine. I mean, look at this perfection!! It's so amazing. This shade is so aaaaaargh. I love it. I can't wait to put in on my little nubs :D

 

 +

Generally Hazzardous is an orange with golden shimmer. I'm not an orange person usually, but this shade rocks. I already have a design for this one!!

 

Bonus picture to see the golden shimmer!

 

 

 Have you bought previously Pretty Serious Cosmetics ? What is your favorite color?

 

 Happy polishing!

Drip Drop Nail Paint: Skitlette with a Prototype Grab Bag

Hello to you, stranger!

I finally figured out how my camera works! So proud of me.. My aunt give me a 101 lesson on photography and this last week I tried to practise.

So today I was really excited to do my manicure and then take photos outside because it's so SUNNY and HOT! I shot my nails for about 30 minutes before I realised I didn't have the little thing... you know the thing useful to transfer the photos... This camera doesn't use the same card as others camera and I don't have the device adapter (or whatever is the word..). Really bummed right now, because I had pretty good shots.

My nails were so cool I didn't want to wait to take pictures and put them on my blog. I shot pictures with my Ipod.. The photos were not as crisp as with the camera but, oh well....They're pretty cool anyways!

 

For this manicure I started with three new polishes I had from Drip Drop Nail Paint. They were prototypes (189, 190, 191) I got a month or so. Honestly, the first time I saw them I didn't know if I loved them or not. They are not really colors I gravitate torwards to. But now, I really like them and I have already ideas for future manicures!

 

I decided to use all of them because they go so well together! On two fingers I did chevrons using Nails Vinyls from teismom. These things are so cool! It's so easy to use them and they make lines so crisp! It was my second time using nails vinyls and this time it was really more easy now that I got Hk Girl Topcoat from Glisten and Glow. I don't know how I survived all this time without this topcoat!

 

I also used pastel studs from Born Pretty Store to add a little touch on my nails that were simply blue.

 

 

A little shot in the wild!
