Matte and 'Khrome'


Day 10

Today's nails are relatively simple, I've been overdoing it lately, and putting too many things on my plate that need to get done, so an early bedtime was required last night... However, I still think that they turned out pretty rad! :) They kinda look like wallpaper to me....



I used OPI You Don't Know Jacques Matte for a base, with China Glaze Metallic Muse for the design with Konad Plate m64. I really like the China Glaze Metallic Muse, the new KHROMES are super opaque and work amazing for Konad.

Thanks for looking! Happy nails!

I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll All Niiiiight! (and Party Every Day)


Day 9

KISS inspired nails today!! I love KISS, and totally hope to meet Gene Simmons one day. PLUS, their makeup is totally fun and interesting looking... so I thought I'd try it on my nails!! :)



I used China Glaze White on White as a base, with Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black for the line work filled in with Zoya Raven, Zoya Trixie for the silver parts, China Glaze Salsa for all the red, and OPI Green-wich Village for the green around the eyes on the pinky.

Zoya Winter Matte Velvet Collection

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I just got Zoya's Winter Matte Velvets, and thought I'd show them to you. Each is two coats over one coat of Nubar Foundation (even thought they recommend no base cost).

Harlow is a magenta shimmer.
