Have a Ball!!

It is the Summer Solstice today!! when I think of summer, I think of the beach, even if I never go there. :-D (this skin doesn't like sunlight, trust me :-P) So today's nails are a beach-themed design, with bright primary colored beach balls on each finger. :-D So whoop it up, summer is officially here, pull out your bikinis and go out and 'have a ball'!

I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud as a base with China Glaze Salsa for the red, Pure Ice French Kiss for the blue, and American Apparel Manila for the yellow. For the shading on the white, I used a mixture of Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud and Pure Ice French Kiss, for the shading on the red and blue, I just added American Apparel Hassid to the base color, and for the shading on the yellow, I used Zoya Jancyn. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat for that shiny vinyl feel. :-D

Nubar Violet Sparkle

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I started a manicure this morning which I hope will be one of the grander ones I do, but lost interest in doing my nails early in the process.  I got as far as getting the base color in and wandered off to the next thing, so I plan to finish it today or tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, I have something else to show you.  I wore Nubar Violet Sparkle a couple weeks ago, and managed to get a decent picture of it.  I think it's two coats, it might be three, with top coat.

Nubar Violet Sparkle Nail Polish, Two Coats

I hope to have a fun one to show you tomorrow - it'll either be great or a huge failure, I'll find out which when I execute it.  So that's all for today, and until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!  

Wood You?

First off, Happy Father's Day!! :) When I think of my dad, I think of the garage, and mainly woodworking. In fact, he taught me how to woodwork!! :) He is one of those people that can make anything and fix anything, I've given him a sketched out drawing more than once, and he has figured out how to create it, and he has fixed more things around the house (and my old cars) than I can count...he and my grandpa were very much the same in that respect, and although my grandpa has passed, today's nails are dedicated to both him as well as my dad. :)

I used MAC In the Buff as a base, with Zoya Dea applied with Bundle Monster plate BM16. For the saw blades, I used China Glaze Millennium, mixed with American Apparel Hassid to shade, and American Apparel Cotton to highlight. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
