Bling Bling Aquamarine

 

This is my favorite aqua contribution to my nail fanatic group. In honor of the gemstone I used Sally Hensens Xtreme Wear The Real Teal with Massini Studio M Special Effects. It is just pure glitz.This next one is Studio M Whose that girl and then the covered it with Studio M Magic Attraction. I loved this theme for some reason blues and teals are really becoming my favorites.

Celebrating the Sun!!!

I've been outside in my garden, and my nails are covered in dirt. So here is a blast from the past, Orly Enchanted Forest.  In Honor of St. Paddy's Day I unearthed this from my old photos. Orly has such a great application and I love Orly Bonder. On a side note this Sally Hensen Xtreme Wear holds up great I didn't use top or bottom coat and I didn't wear gloves to work in the soil and it still hasn't chipped. I did cover it with Duri yesterday but for such a cheap polish it really holds up! :)

Go Buckeyes! O-H......I-O!

Did this mani during the game on Sunday, while the Buckeyes killed Minnesota. I looked up the exact colors, Pantone 429 and Pantone 200 and matched them to polish. I giggled the whole time, I love how hardcore we are around here. It's a trip, people will correct you and say "It's THE Ohio State University don't forget the, THE." And you gotta love the Brutus The Buckeye FULL SIZE statues (yep, over 30 of 'em, bigger than people!) scattered through out the city, dressed as a variety of things, my favorite is Super Brutus but The Tin Man is cute too! There are so many more, at Brutus On Parade, and it raises money for one of THE OSU Libraries. I didn't realize the quirky things I had missed about the mid-west, until I moved back home.

 

I used my new Konad plate, AGAIN. I'm like a dog with a new bone and my other plates are jealous.
Sally Hensen Xtreme Wear- Cement Gray and Massini- Special Effects with plate M63.

I also ordered some Fauxnad plates off Ebay it the wee hours of the morning, so let the count down begin. I forget which country they are coming from but it will be at least seven business days. Plenty of time to tell you all about them, but so far they sent me a personal response to my email and that is a good sign. :)

Morning manicure

I woke up and was just not feeling the orange, I'm glad you get 50 applications in a bottle because I used this stuff like lotion. This blue is so vampy I love it and it dries super fast. That's the main reason I used it, the speed, this is only 1 very thick coat. I apologize because its another Massini- Ballroom Blue and I know that's not available to everyone but the flowers are Sally Hensen's Xtreme Wear- The Real Teal with konad plate m57. I might put flowers over every nail but not right now. I have to go the the post office to mail some things to some great ladies over at longhaircareforums.com . I have a idea tropical konad idea brewing that I might try later I'll keep ya posted.

This close up picture kinda freaks me out but I did it so the flowers would show.
