Quick NOTD featuring Lime Crime's Milky Ways!

Hey guys! How are you all? Good, I hope! I'm still in my wrist brace but my thumb has improved enough that I managed a super simple dot mani! These are from my phone so sorry if the quality is bad.... and my cuticles are bad. Haha, but I think I get some slack there under the circumstances!

Dunno where the image will be since I'm on my phone! I used Milky Ways by Lime Crime for my base. The purple dots are Loreal Paparazzi Pleaser, the blue are Illamasqua Muse, and the gold is Revlon Gold Coin. I was inspired by another mani I saw but I'll have to update this later with where it was from!

That's all for now! I'm to get some swatches done next weekend if my wrist keeps improving! Goodnight everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Polka Dots!

One of the things I am not very good at yet is polka dots. I run a little OCD and tend to over-dot to the point of silliness. I also have a hand tremor which makes it HARD to get those cute little round dots. So I practice. This didn't turn out too bad! (That's Amy-code for "I think it looks awesome!") Haha

I have been playing with OPI Planks a Lot. I picked it up because purple is my favorite color so I can never have too many purple polishes, but I hadn't really used it. The teal is OPI Fly from the Nicki Minaj collection.I own a couple different teals, but this one is by far my favorite! The formula is fantastic, and it covers in two easy coats. I used a large dotting tool for the dots.

Sorry for the nasty dryness around the edges of my nail. We just got snow and the cold killed my hands a bit. Ick!

Halloween!

I figured I would get in gear and actually post some picture stuff! This is what I did for Halloween this year. I KNOW I saw this done somewhere else when I was busy just looking over other nail blogs, but I can not remember where it was. (If you happen to read this, please let me know so I can mention it?)

Anyway, being new to this nail-picture thing, I did the simplest design I could find. So here is what I ended up with!

Candy corn! I started with OPI Nail Envy for Sensitive and Peeling nails as a base coat, then started with Sally Hansen Whirlwind White. I taped off that color with scotch tape (P.S. there are some awesome tape mani designs HERE) and then used a coat of China Glaze Solar Power, followed by a coat of Papaya Punch, also China Glaze. For the dots I used a dotting tool. I topped everything off with a coat of Seche Vite!

As a general disclaimer, please be nice for the horrible pictures and probably glaring issues with my nails/cuticles/clean up efforts! ^_^ This is quite a lot harder than it looks! I hope to do swatches of things someday, but until I get some finer points down I think I will stick to random nail art!

Hopefully there is more to come!
