What a Teese!


So tonight...I'm going to see Dita von Teese!!! I'm SO excited- I've wanted to see her act for YEARS! Today's manicure was inspired by the Fashion Against AIDS! Tshirt that she designed for H&M a while back...



It kinda reminds me a little bit of Patrick Nagel's art, with the dark brows, white skin, etc.



I used OPI Alpine Snow Matte as a base, with American Apparel Hassid for the black and China Glaze Salsa for the lips and lip print on the thumb. Sealed it with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Burlesque!!!!! YES!!!

China Glaze - LOL

Hi everyone! It's friday again! I'm really looking forward to this weekend, it's Easter! Do you have any plans?

Perhaps you've noticed: I filed my nails down a bit. It wasn't really on purpose though! Haha. They will grow.

When I showed you China Glaze's DV8 the other day I mentioned LOL too. LOL is a gorgeous purple holographic polish, from the same collection as DV8: the OMG collection. I don't wear this one as often as I'd like, because of my issues with its application. Applying LOL is really something I loathe, they should've called this one PITA, nothing to LOL about I'd say. Major cuticle drag. I find I don't have this issue when I skip base coat, not really an option for me but it may work for others! It is totally opaque in 2 coats though, and the color IS stunning, I'll give 'm that.

It is one of those holographics that look really dull in normal lighting, I don't need my holos to be in your face, but a subtle rainbow makes me happy any day. So if you really like your holo to be holo, LOL is not for you.

So what do you think of this polish? If you happen to own it too, please share your opinions with me?
