Meep! Meep!
Guess whose birthday it is today?! I'll give you a hint... one of them preferred ACME brand products! :) If you guessed Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner, You're correct! Today marks their 61st birthday! :) The first time they aired was September 16, 1949 with a cartoon named Fast and Furry-ous. :) Today's manicure is dedicated to those silly characters that make us laugh!
I used OPI What's With the Cattitude? as a base, with OPI Ginger Bells for the landscape, mixed with American Apparel Palm Springs to highlight, and then I used Essie Alligator Purse to shade, then used L.A. Girl Army Green for the cacti. For Wile E. Coyote, I used American Apparel California Trooper as a base, then Barielle Unraveled Rust for his fur, then outlined with American Apparel Hassid. For Road Runner, I used Orly Snowcone as a base, with ALDO Sea You in Ibiza for the wings, and head feathers, and Sally Hanson Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in 06 Sun Kissed for the beak and legs. For the eyes I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud, with American Apparel Hassid for the pupils and to outline. For the sign, I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud, Barielle Unraveled Rust for the post, and A Beautiful Life Poison for the words. The crate was a combination of Barielle Unraveled Rust, American Apparel California Trooper and American Apparel Palm Springs, then the same combination with more Barielle Unraveled Rust to shade, American Apparel Hassid to outline and for the ACME stencil, Nubar Sexy Red for the rocket, and A Beautiful Life Poison for the dynamite. Topped everything off with two coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Meep! Meep! (Fun fact: It's actually Beep! Beep!, it just sounds like Meep! Meep!)
OPI Merry Midnight
Since OPI Merry Midnight def needs to be layered over something, I decided to try it over Forever 21's Love & Beauty, Lavender. Merry Midnight is from the 2009 OPI Holiday Wishes Collection. So it was LE, and may be hard to find. If you do come across it, I suggest you grab it.

Bridal gel nails!
These are some of the bridal nails done over the past few weeks. And yes, it's the wedding season again!
This is one set that I really love. It's done using a mixture of star dust and pink glitter *super glittery I swear* and with all the puffy white flowers... how can you not like them??? ;D
*glowing pink glitter*
Pretty eh?
I've done this design before and now this is a shorter version and it's a gel overlay set. The classic french twist!
Still looking pretty!
Sugar pink glitter tips with crystals and flower design on the ring finger and thumb.
Light pink glitter french tips with crystals and simple petal flowers. And I love her nails! Super long nail bed! *mad envy*
It's simple and pretty~
Classic french nails with crystal design. Oh yes and I guess I'd have a hard time digging the crystals out when my customer returns cos the crystals hardly drop. Yes, even after a month. ;)
The closeup with no 'special bling effect' added.

2010 New L'OREAL swatches
So yesterday during my lunch break I decided to head to Bed Bath & Beyond to check and see if they had any new polishes in stock. Well to my surprise they did!! There was a new L'Oreal display, and I am so sorry, but I don't remember the collection name :( I picked of 2, and they are beautiful. I must say, thank you L'Oreal, for finally adding some fun colors! They both had amazing application, and were both only 1 coat!!! Doesn't get much better thank that.
Here are bottle pics.
