Chanel Vert Sacrilege

Good morning, Dear Reader!

Today I have an older Chanel nail polish to show you, Vert Sacrilege.  It's a green shimmer, and my bottle was pretty thin, so I needed three coats of it.  Since it's a great shade and I really wanted it for a long time before finally getting hold of it, I'm okay with doing a third coat for his one.  Here is my finished manicure with Vert Sacrilege.

I'd given up on this one long ago, but was really pleased and surprised when the opportunity to have it came along.  So don't give up hope!

That's what I have for you today, Dear Reader.  Until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Hey! It's finally here! Today is one of the few days during this 365 day journey that I have actually had the art planned out. (and in this case, I've had it planned since the beginning of the year) I LOVE International Talk Like a Pirate Day!! Today I decided to do a pirate's treasure map for the daily nail design.


I used American Apparel California Trooper as a base, with China Glaze Classic Camel sponged over it in spots, then I sponged a mixture of China Glaze Classic Camel and MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious over those spots, then I sponged MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious on the tips and some of the edges. For the map's ink, I used a mixture of MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious, and American Apparel Hassid. Topped it off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Now that be my kind o' nail ARRRRRRRRRRRR-t! ;) Where's me rum?!
