Mermaidesque nail art

I'm at work with all my tasks completed... what to do, what to do? Blog about nails of course :P

Today's post is mermaid themed, loosely. Picture first, then I'll ramble on about it for a while...

Index/pinky: Two coats Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost, two coats Sinful Colors Nail Junkie
Thumb/middle/ring: Two coats Zoya Cho base
Rings/sponging thumb/middle/ring: Revlon Plum Night, Zoya Faye, China Glaze Aquadelic
China Glaze Flyin' High, Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost, Revlon Gold Coin, Zoya Bevin
I USED SO MANY POLISHES! Geez, I didn't realize I had until I had to type them all up... :O

I really like the way Faye sponged onto the nail. It turned out just a really faded purple with that green-y gold sheen. Super pretty. The circle pattern is just something I usually end up doodling on the margins of all my notes in class, so I did it in colors on my nails. It was pretty time consuming. I thought it would end up looking kind of mermaid-y so I used Nail Junkie for glittery fun. Merp.

Tell me what you think! Thanks for reading :3

Purple holo glitter goodness!

It's been so long since I've posted! I'm going to try to keep up a more regular schedule, even if I'm super busy.
Today's post isn't super long, unfortunately I reall only got one kind of good shot of this mani when I was wearing it (which was actually about a month and a half ago, oops!). Here it is!


After a coat of OPI Nail Envy on all fingers, I did two coats each of OPI Planks a Lot and Color Club Sugarplum Fairy on the thumb and ring finger and then two coats each of Revlon Plum Night and Studio M Purple Medallion and Warpaint Beauty White Noise on the index, middle, and pinky. Topped it all off with Revlon Extra Life No Chip Top Coat. The only reason I added the extra holo glitter on the darker nails was because Purple Medallion is in a deeper purple jelly base, and Sugarplum Fairy isn't, so the holo ended up being a little muted. Overall, I seriously loved this mani and got a bunch of compliments on it! It was super fun to wear.
