You would think that it being valentines week I would do something to match….you would be wrong. I just thought of something to do and went with it not thinking of appropriate colours or themes. I also wasn’t thinking of posting cuz I waited too long to take a pic of my hands and most of the nails were chipped so you get a sample of the best looking nails.<\/p>\n
This was a really great look actually. I’m sorry you missed it. I may have to try it again with different colours. I used only a small brush and 3 polishes on this look as these were textured polishes and a top coat was not required.<\/p>\n Base – LA Girl Nail Strengthener NT13<\/p>\n Gold – Julep “Diamond Theory”<\/p>\n Charcoal – Julep Stardust Finish “Glam Roc” – Really this was more of a deep purple, with a bright purple sparkle flecks in it but that doesn’t really come true in the pics.<\/p>\n Feb 17 – 21<\/strong><\/p>\n I decided to go with an ‘action’ shot this week. My fingers very stylishly pushing buttons in the elevator. HOT! I think I was a bit 80s inspired when I decided to go along with this look.<\/p>\n One of the new colours I got was a satin finish white and except for accents I don’t use white a lot so I decided to use it as my base colour. I think it worked out pretty well. I used 6 polishes, some tape, and patients to get this look.<\/p>\n Base – LA Girl Nail Strengthener NT13<\/p>\n White – Julep Satin Finish “Hope”<\/p>\n Black – Julep Black Latex “Cleopatra”<\/p>\n Purple – Julep “Bette”<\/p>\n Blue – Essie 784 “Aruba Blue”<\/p>\n Top Coat – Essie “Matte about You” – this was used on all the black and white nails for a matte finish but one thing I found was if you put a matte topcoat on matte polish it becomes less matte. Weird.<\/p>\n Top Coat – LA Girl NT1 Diamond Top Coat – this was used on the purple and blue nails for high shine<\/p>\n Feb 24 – 28<\/strong><\/p>\n I think this week’s came out great.<\/p>\n It is a bit of a different look than I am used to. I tried a look I’d been seeing pretty regularly of late, leopard print. As you can see I didn’t do the proper colours I went with something a bit more funky. The combo of animal print and sparkle and the purple made it very girl. But I actually enjoy it a lot. My only regret is the accent nail didn’t turn out as awesome as I thought it would. I should have shuffled the colours a different way. With the black base the gold still pops but the purple is almost completely lost. I should have done a the purple base instead.<\/p>\n The object in another toy from my desk (seriously there are a lot). It is clearly a “Lalaloopsy” as that is plastered across the front of it. This is Dot Starlight and she is totally into space stuff. She’s got a telescope, a rocket, moon globe(?), and a bird…. The bird confuses me but I guess it is<\/em> something that you can find in the sky.<\/p>\n For this look I used 5 polishes.<\/p>\n Base – LA Girl Nail Strengthener NT13<\/p>\n Gold – Julep “Love” – It has purple\/pink sparkles in there as well<\/p>\n Purple – Julep “Bette”<\/p>\n Black – Rimmel 430 “Black Satin”<\/p>\n Top Coat – Rimmel Lasting finish Pro Base\/Top<\/p>\n This Week<\/strong><\/p>\n Ok so this week it was kind of uninspired. It is super simple, nice I guess, but boring. I know this but I wanted to do something easy this week and fancy ain’t easy.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
