Note Worthy?


Happy Friday, people!! Today went by about as slowly as a day could POSSIBLY go. It felt never-ending, but we made it, and the weekend has begun!! Today's manicure was based off a pattern that I found on some notecards that I bought a million years ago in the $1 section at Target! :) I love the retro pattern and colors, so I HAD to use it for a design! :)



I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with Pure Ice Wild Thing for the green side of the nail and for the green spots, Zoya Jancyn for the orange stripes and dots, MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious for the dark brown dots, and American Apparel Esprit for the periwinkle/lavender dots. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat, have I ever mentioned how much I love the first manicure out of a brand new bottle of Seche Vite? So lovely. lol Nailgasmic, one might say.

Pinup Girl mani......

Again I got some water decals off of eBay, and tried the Pinup girl decals. Since they don't have much color, and the majority of them are clear, you need a white base to see them the best.  I did this one a few weeks ago, and really liked it. For the red, I used China Glaze Ruby Deer, and just Sinful's white, don't recal the actual name sorry.




How about some holiday manis..........

I finally got Meet Me Under The Mistletoe. I had seen some swatches, and fell in love. After trying it out myself, I'm hooked. This really is such a pretty green! Then I decided to go crazy with the layering, lol.

Here she is all by herself.


Then I decided to add Finger Paints Holly Good Time over top. Doesn't get much more festive than that.


Since I was so in the mood for layering, I went and grabbed my Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure. This made it much more Fallish than holiday, IMO. I actually kind of liked it.
