What's Your Function?


There isn't a single kid that grew up in the 80s or 90s that hasn't seen or at least heard of Schoolhouse Rock! We all know and love such hits as 'Conjunction Junction', 'Unpack Your Adjectives', and 'I'm Just a Bill'. They're a part of our youth, our memories, and they're, quite frankly, AWESOME. (or AWE5OME?) Anyway, today I decided to do Schoolhouse Rock! themed nail art! From the thumb: Lolly, Inc. sign from 'Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here', the 'hairy', 'scary' bear from 'Unpack Your Adjectives', Bill from 'I'm Just a Bill', the conductor from 'Conjunction Junction', and the grass with speech bubble saying 'Rufus' from 'Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla' (pronouns).


I used:

Thumb: Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here

Essie Bone Chilling White as a base, with Nubar Sexy Red for the Lolly logo, and American Apparel Hassid for the sign edge, and posts.

Index: Unpack Your Adjectives

Essie Bone Chilling White as a base, with Barielle Unraveled Rust painted so you can still see the brush strokes (like the video), Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for the claws, American Apparel Hassid for the outlines, nose, and eyes.

Middle: I'm Just a Bill

Essie Bone Chilling White as a base, with American Apparel Hassid to draw Bill, Nubar Sexy Red for the red, and ALDO Sea Me in Ibiza for the blue.

Ring: Conjunction Junction

Essie Bone Chilling White as a base, with OPI What's With the Cattitude? for the hat and coveralls, Nubar Sexy Red for the neckerchief, American Apparel Palm Springs for the face, and American Apparel Hassid to outline/stripes/details.

Pinky: OPI What's With the Cattitude? as a base, with Pure Ice Wild Thing and L.A. Girl Army Green for the grass/leaves, Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for the speech bubble, and American Apparel Hassid for outlining, and the word 'Rufus'.

Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

What's YOUR function?

2nd Justice Mood Polish - Green to Yellow

Here is the 2nd of the 3 mood polishes that I picked up at Justice. I posted the royal blue one earlier this week. This was 4 coats!!! But I will say each coat dried VERY fast! These like all other mood polishes, dry matte, but a tc handles that, and makes it shiny, and doesn't take away the mood effect at all.




Rescue Beauty Lounge featuring Scrangie goes French :P

This is a funky french I did using RBL's Scrangie. I love this color like no other!! It is exactly as she described it to be, beetle wings!







Then, like I do alot, I added a matte tip. Well actually it was my hubbys idea. It does look black, but in fact it is OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark.

Justice Mood Polish

I had to run to Justice, which if you're not familiar, is a little girls clothing store. I was in need of a b-day gift for my daughters friend. While I was checking out, I saw they had some mood polish, which I'm a complete sucker for. So I got 3, this blue one, a green & a turq. one. So far I have only tried this one. I love it. As Soon as I try the others, I will post them :)




Ulta's Ultra Violet w/ Color Club's Covered in Diamonds

So on one of my trips to Ulta, I saw this beauty. It is pretty much an exact dupe of Color Club's Ultra Violet. I had CC's but gave it to a friend who loved it, so I went ahead and grabbed this.








Then I decided to use Color Club's Covered in Diamonds over top of it. It is such a pretty combo IMO.
