You're all too clever!

Hi everyone!
Yup... april fools!
I'm glad I didn't get many of you, did you really think I'd leave you all? No way!

ANYWAY I know I have been REALLY backed up with posts... please be patient with me as for the next week or so they might be a little al over the place...

First cab off the rank... my nails for the Obsidian Lace photoshoot! I know technically you've seen them in the other photos I posted but I don't know how many of you saw them (or saw how bony my wrists are or my freaky long hands! I'll wait here while you check.... back? Okay!)

I'm not going to post a billion shots of this one as it's simple and my application was a bit dodgy because I was in a rush. I used stargazer's white for the base, used reinforcements and painted over with colour club's after hours.

I'd love any ideas you may have for nails for future photoshoots! I'd like them to be mostly gothic style, preferably in monochrome colours.

Love,

Hello Kitty!

Hi everyone!
Everything's been a little mad here so yet again I didn't get to the shops, sorry!
You'll have to settle for a vault post where I went... insane....

Yes, that is a little hello kitty. On a toenail. A big toe-nail. A man big toe-nail.
There's a story behind this which i'm not going to go into.

The base for this one is Orly's Enchanted Forest with Fauxnad Hello Kitty using Colour Club's After Hours as stamping polish, the face is Stargazer White (from the "Gothic French" kit) the nose is The face Shop GLI11 and the bow is Stargazer nail Art Pen in UV Pink.

And yes, this is waaay sloppy, you all know I normally wouldn't post things this bad but for a Hello Kitty man-pedicure I had to make an exception!

My nail art needs a little work but mostly this is due to me trying to finish up and slap some seche on before Jai could complain. :)

Love,

I am in love with these nails.
I never want to change them EVER.
Okay, I will but I have a feeling I'll keep coming back to this!
Need more flakies!

My nails remind me of these little guys!

Read about them here.

This is the same as my last post, one coat of Orly Ridge Filler (also, notice this has removed the bubbles from my polish lately? It's another from "The Haul" - definitely a winner!) with 2 coats of Colour Club - After Hours, 1 coat of Seche Vite, One coat of Essie - Matte About You, with 2 coats of Inglot - 203, 1 coat of Seche Vite, Finally one coat of Essie - Matte About You in the last couple of photos. Phew!

Also, sorry about the picture quality, the sun ran away and had to shoot indoors and I have VERY shaky hands!

Mattified... whoa!

I loved this!!

For those of you in Aus (I'm not 100% sure about anywhere else) I saw Inglot was having a nail polish sale on friday - polishes for $5!!! Not sure if that includes the flakes (I didn't go in, was broke and knew I'd go mental) but run! Now!

Love,

After Hours and Matte - 50 FOLLOWERS WHOOO!

Hay all!

Another from "The Haul" (I still have 3 more to swatch! And I'm out of cotton balls!) - this one's Colour Club's After Hours! I topped it with Seche Vite. Yum yum.

I wanted to see how it looked matte - I've learned from experience only to do this to shimmers! This will keep me happy for AGES as a go-to polish for clubbing.
Frikking love it. It's not quite Manglaze awesome but looks wicked. Looooove it.

I don't think it's quite shimmery enough to be a manglaze dupe. Being from Australia means unless I can get a whole lot of people together to get the real thing it's out of reach for me. :(

On another note I see I've just hit the big 5-0. I was hoping to have a giveaway at 50 but we'll see how my finances go this week! :)

Love,

Groove Thang...

Hello again lovelies! This is what I had on a couple of days back - another from "The Haul" - Colour Club's Groove Thang!

It looked awesome in the bottle - I couldn't wait to try this! Green and purple duochrome shimmer on black! YUM!

Unfortunately... it wasn't. On my nails it just looked plain black - maybe a tiny, tiny, tiiiiiny, hint of colours if I pressed my nails into my eyeballs... I was disappointed. I might try this with matte and see what happens at a later stage.

Excuse my insanely crappy photos today - I was desperate to capture the colours!

Oh well! I can never have too much black polish! (My previous bottle had turned to glug city - adding thinner just made it separate and... uh... chunks... ew...)
Love,
