Anyway, on to the manicure! I just had to do something special when I went to see the Hunger Games movie this weekend. It is a relatively simple mani, but I really liked it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlJc3PtboJm8biVDMkOqX3WuAGe4i5HMc5pAD2FS9-57z9X9P14EsNjEnxmUUgTdiV7ng0rnnC_gELdMfHfeSVqJdQhuMG8HooCoroDUKvTQDzH7vHrcLQFSJllCJD-ZcYDYnuut3viQ/s1600/IMG_1014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlJc3PtboJm8biVDMkOqX3WuAGe4i5HMc5pAD2FS9-57z9X9P14EsNjEnxmUUgTdiV7ng0rnnC_gELdMfHfeSVqJdQhuMG8HooCoroDUKvTQDzH7vHrcLQFSJllCJD-ZcYDYnuut3viQ/s400/IMG_1014.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724425559000092594" /></a><br />I started out with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in Cherry Red over base. Then, I put on a coat of Essie Shine of the Times, which is similar to Nubar 2010/Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure/etc. The end result made my nails look like flames.

I was feeling adventurous, and decided to try and replicate Zooey Deschanel's tuxedo mani.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXE7B0GZkp1pAvR_49avFEROgAY-YjnmcuFHsmqPPC9E6Cz488EGbfW8alVTdiROv3ggBqDFis838Hee6B5Bjud-b822M4E_uw_JlInAW13gUDk8KlkpJimqPeqz30-66DRWTsRJneeQ/s1600/IMG_1005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqXE7B0GZkp1pAvR_49avFEROgAY-YjnmcuFHsmqPPC9E6Cz488EGbfW8alVTdiROv3ggBqDFis838Hee6B5Bjud-b822M4E_uw_JlInAW13gUDk8KlkpJimqPeqz30-66DRWTsRJneeQ/s400/IMG_1005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722546554964039682" /></a><br />This mani started as just 2 coats of Salley Hansen Insta-Dri in Brisk Blue. So pretty, but, it started peeling the next day. Instead of starting over completely, I patched what I could, and cleaned up the worst nails (only one on each hand). On those nails, I used OPI Alpine Snow as a base, and Sinful Colors Black on Black to create the tuxedo. <br /><br />I'm pleased with how this turned out, considering I'm crap at free-hand drawing, and had to do the entire thing with a toothpick. I'll definitely have to do this again.clothesmusicdivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09310795295774622267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246210787360210746.post-42148937438349972912012-02-28T15:59:00.004-05:002012-02-28T16:10:44.758-05:00NOTW: OPI I Don't Give A Rotterdam!My salon finally got OPI's Holland collection, and I couldn't resist picking up at least 1 polish. I picked up I Don't Give A Rotterdam! because the name is probably my favorite (next to Kinky in helsinki), and the color was pretty.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8vnBLdO95h3hlXANBJvx9y8qpNdDGJhBKaeycmyuHRxfMlsh-i0yllrX-dglvg0J7HnFGvG5jXi2r86HzD11vGp3KnpGx9jhNNzDK5NccrWC5lqUE6oP9UUp-c0v1S1Ti_-PT-ejU4M/s1600/IMG_0992.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8vnBLdO95h3hlXANBJvx9y8qpNdDGJhBKaeycmyuHRxfMlsh-i0yllrX-dglvg0J7HnFGvG5jXi2r86HzD11vGp3KnpGx9jhNNzDK5NccrWC5lqUE6oP9UUp-c0v1S1Ti_-PT-ejU4M/s400/IMG_0992.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714296386784285362" /></a><br />This is 2 coats of IDGAR! over basecoat, no top coat.

It's an absolutely gorgeous glass fleck that shifts between blue and purple. *sigh*<br /><br />In other news, did anyone see Adele's Louboutin mani for the Grammy's? I'm in love.

I decided to make my nails as purple and bling-y as possible to distract during foul shooting (not sure of it helped, but oh well).<br /><br />This is 3 very thick coats of OPI Divine Swine topped with Seche Vite. Divine Swine is fine purple glitter and larger silver hex glitter in a clear base. It is verrrrry sheer. I ended up having to glop it on so that I'd be ready for the game.

I did it all free hand, and I didn't have fast dry top coat at the time, so it took (no lie) at least 2 days for everything to dry.<br /><br />This time I used french tip nail guide stickers, and a coat of Poshe after each layer to make everything go much faster, and come out much cleaner. As for the polishes, I used OPI Alpine Snow (white), Sinful Colors Great Wall (orange), and Color Club Almost Famous (yellow).<br /><br />I can't stop looking at my nails.

I've had my eye on this for a while, but I almost never go to Rite Aid, and when I do, I forget to pick it up. I finally got it the other day, and I'm mad that I waited so long. Party of Five is a mix of blue green, silver, red, and pink/purple hex glitter. I did 1 fairly thick coat over 1 coat of Morbid Black, and it looks FANTASTIC!

<br />It was tough to get a decent picture of this since I didn't have any sun (thank you Irene!). Vintage Wine is a dark wine red color with subtle shimmer.

<br />This picture was taken after 2 days of wear. Neeka is a gorgeous dark grey/purple (much darker than it looks in the bottle) with subtle red and gold shimmer. I probably could have gotten away with 1 coat, but I did 2 just to make sure there were no bare spots, and topped with Poshe. I really like this color, and I'm glad I picked it up.
<br />

<br />Left to right: Faye, Neeka, Caitlin.
<br />
<br />Faye, a gift for my friend, is a great mauve with intense gold shimmer. Neeka is a dark grey-purple with red tones and gold shimmer. Finally, Caitlin is a very pretty purple-grey.
<br />
<br />Apparently, I am in a purple mood. I just did a manicure with Neeka (which I'll post in a few days), and I can't stop staring at my nails. So pretty!

<br />This is 2 coats over base, and topped with Poshe. I really really really wanted to like this polish. It looks absolutely GORGEOUS in the bottle, flashing between pink, blue, and purple. However, on the nail it was a complete fail. It mostly showed pink, flashing a silvery-green if looked at at a certain angle. Not a hint of the blue or purple :(
<br />
<br />The formula of this was really difficult to work with. It had a tendency to pull and cause lumps if I overlapped while I was applying. Really annoying. Then, I ended up with brail nails, the bubbling was the worst I've ever seen.
<br />
<br />Needless to say, I probably won't be purchasing any more Scherer Chameleon polishes any time soon.
<br />
<br />That's all for now! Til next time!!

This is 2 coats of Me + Blue, topped with 1 coat of Poshe (I did end up putting another coat of Poshe on later since it is seriously gritty). <br /><br />I was surprised that I really liked the brush for this polish. I wasn't sure about it since I have such small nails, but it was the perfect size for them. I only used 1 or 2 swipes per nail.clothesmusicdivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09310795295774622267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246210787360210746.post-60789332855665210702011-07-14T16:35:00.002-04:002011-07-14T16:49:50.337-04:00Harry Freakin' PotterThe last Harry Potter movie premieres tomorrow and, since I'm going to the midnight showing, I thought I'd show off my Potter pride. I decided I wanted to represent Gryffindor since it's my favorite house (and I'm kindof in love with Neville...), but I also wanted a shoutout to my favorite character, Snape. I decided to do a mostly Gryffindor (red & gold) inspired manicure, with some Slytherin (green & silver) thrown in.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPU_69ZYe7Vsqx0xYbDPEHg1BYbcoVLcAA8RXKDTm-K3lpBG_tcstNpkJHiUwJ7nFRkxdeEjAg86yA4YLbteKyHtgEKRxujYuRjk3mY7CXaEnqFuM7JIMNGR5NLQqYK5VvGogO7SJryh0/s1600/IMG_0223.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPU_69ZYe7Vsqx0xYbDPEHg1BYbcoVLcAA8RXKDTm-K3lpBG_tcstNpkJHiUwJ7nFRkxdeEjAg86yA4YLbteKyHtgEKRxujYuRjk3mY7CXaEnqFuM7JIMNGR5NLQqYK5VvGogO7SJryh0/s400/IMG_0223.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629312673307551234" /></a><br />I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Cherry Red on all nails except my ring. On my ring finger, I did 2 coats of I Love My Nails Chrome in Angel. Then, I used scotch tape for the tip guides. For the gold tips, I used Orly Glitz & Glamour. And, for the green tips, I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin' Jade. I had a little 'whoops' moment when I was putting Poshe on, and smeared the green a bit. But, oh well.<br /><br />I can't wait to see the movie tonight, but I'm so bummed about it over. Anyone else going to see HP tonight?clothesmusicdivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09310795295774622267noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246210787360210746.post-76530551899600373182011-07-08T17:34:00.003-04:002011-07-08T17:43:08.099-04:00Color Club Almost Famous + Sally Hansen Fuschia ShockI've really been loving the hot pink and yellow combo lately, so I had to break out the pink crackle.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiioIAkrRkhmv1GfG8cNwAKJaQuYP53ZiFSscj7keH6iojcrwBBZZZ2NHtDxvlDZJGoeZkniGavMeKOApqjYCbcjJlm9__HD3CTKxl2JwKHrLNsLEl-mrAFG4BfaWYHp7yRXMHpAYwRTQE/s1600/IMG_2084.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiioIAkrRkhmv1GfG8cNwAKJaQuYP53ZiFSscj7keH6iojcrwBBZZZ2NHtDxvlDZJGoeZkniGavMeKOApqjYCbcjJlm9__HD3CTKxl2JwKHrLNsLEl-mrAFG4BfaWYHp7yRXMHpAYwRTQE/s400/IMG_2084.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627099474510941122" /></a><br /><br />This was 2 coats of Color Club Almost Famous, 1 coat of Sally Hansen Fuschia Shock crackle overcoat, and finished with a coat of Seche Vite.

Then, I used Sinful Colors striping polish in Bad Chick to make the "stars" and stripes. Then, I decided it wasn't "bling-y" enough, and added a coat of NYC White Lights Glitter on top before finishing with Poshe. Whew! <br /><br />This is the first time I've really attempted any kind of nail art (other than tape manis), and I definitely need practice, but it's not too bad for the first time.<br /><br />And now I'm all ready to see the fireworks tonight.

I want to go out and get a replacement, but I'm trying to restrain myself, since I have three other shower gels that I need to finish up first. Right now, I'm alternating between The Body Shop Strawberry shower gel, B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar shower gel, and Dial Yogurt body wash in Vanilla Honey.clothesmusicdivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09310795295774622267noreply@blogger.com1
