TAXI!!


Day 84

Hey guys! I passed out on the couch last night at around 830, so sorry these nails are kinda simple & a bit sloppy, I had to wake up this morning before work and do them! I like the idea, just not the execution so much, it was hard to line up the Konad plate checkered french tip with the freehand white tip without the Konad design drying out before I got it matched up. Y'all get the idea tho. Let's chalk it up to my head weighing about 45 pounds, and my throat feeling like I swallowed emery boards. :)



I used Diamond Cosmetics #319 Lemon Yellow Zest as a base, with China Glaze White on White for the tips, and Zoya Raven applied with Konad Plate m56. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat too, of course. :)

Take care- don't get sick!!

Play Date Pics!

Hier dan eindelijk de beloofde foto's van de play date!

English: finally the promised pics from the play date!

Play Date

Wat krijg je als je vijf vrouwen bij elkaar zet in een kamer met een heleboel nagellak? Er is niets ontploft! Echt niet!

English: What do you get when you put five women together in a room with a lot of nail polish? Nothing exploded! I swear!

Play Date

Dupes zoeken! Aan de rechterkant van beneden naar boven: China Glaze C-C-Courage, Nfu Oh #68 en P2 Gracious. Zoals je ziet zijn de P2 en de Nfu Oh perfecte dupes en is C-C-Courage iets warmer van kleur en de shimmer is wat grover van structuur. De prijsbewuste frankener zou wat donkerrood en misschien een druppel donkerblauw bij de P2 kunnen gooien en daar genoegen mee kunnen nemen als dupe.

English: Finding dupes! On the right from bottom to top: China Glaze C-C-Courage, Nfu Oh #68 and P2 Gracious. As you can see the P2 and Nfu Oh are perfect dupes. C-C-Courage is a bit warmer and the shimmer is a bit coarser. The price concious frankener could throw a couple of drops of dark red and maybe a drop of dark blue in the P2 an be perfectly content with that as a dupe.

IceRozie ging naar huis met op haar nagels Magnetic Deep Purple en een french van China Glaze LOL en paarse hex glitters maar daar heb ik geen goede foto van en na de Illamasqua Hectic heeft Thess mijn nagels gelakt met China Glaze LOL met heel schattige paarse en zilveren hartjes maar jammer genoeg was dat heel erg beschadigd onderweg naar huis. Stomme sneeuwduinen!

English: IceRozie went home with Magnetic Deep Purple on her nails with a french with China Glaze LOL and purple hex glitters but I don't have a good pic of that and after the Illamasqua Hectic Thess painted my nails with China Glaze LOL with the cutest hand painted purple and silver hearts but unfortunately my mani got wrecked on the drive home. Damn snow dunes!

Hier zijn onze nagels bij elkaar, behalve die van Thess want die was zo druk met gastvrouw zijn dat ze bijna geen tijd heeft gehad om erbij te zitten. *schaam* Dat moeten we de volgende keer anders aanpakken!

English: Here are our nails together, except for Thess' who was so busy being a hostess that she almost didn't have time to sit down. *shame* We definitely have to arrange that differently next time!

Thanks for looking!

Garden Rose

I have been drawing many roses recently, here is another instance.
Unfortunately, the paint is not very contrast on the pictures.
I base is sponged Zoya polish, i realized that sponging works really well as a base for painting, because it creates a nice background and also uneven structure, that allow paints lay better on the nails.
I think this manicure is very tender and nice looking.
Now i only spend about 20 minutes on left hand and about 25 on the right. However drawing on the right hand is still not an easy task for me. I hope you like this manicure
