I know, really cheesy post title, but it fit my nails. The final manicure reminds me of cheerleader uniforms... Kind of fun :)

I started out with a gorgeous deep navy blue, the only survivor of the Blush set of mini polishes. For the tips I added Wet n Wild French White Cream.

Also, I decided to try my hand at making tutorials, so I'll be making one for this manicure hopefully tomorrow. Look for it if you are interested in recreating this look...



The Blush polish itself, applied beautifully in two coats. This is with a topcoat...

Blush Skittles...

Thursday, August 4, 2011
I bought a set of mini polishes (0.18oz) each with the sole purpose to empty them out and use the bottles for frankens. I like to mix in small bottles because there is less waste if it doesn't work out. Before emptying them out, I decided to give them all a small chance to stay...


Each color was swatched using two coats plus a topcoat...



In the end, the only one that survived the cut was the dark blue... somehow it convinced me that it deserves to stay for now. I'll be doing a full mani with it soon :D


The bottles are cute, but I discovered while cleaning them that they leak. The cap doesn't close tightly enough so the acetone kept leaking out from under the cap while I was cleaning them. I guess they won't be used for storing frankens... just for trying out different color combos...

I poured most of the colors I did not want into a larger nearly empty bottle of topcoat that I am no longer using (for proper disposal later... next Zoya earth day promotion? :)). I won't show you the result of that mixture because let's just say the color was a not so lovely shade of brown... :S

The darker of the two pinks didn't fit into my 'poo' bottle, so it went into other bottles waiting for disposal and I kind of liked the result so I'll show those soon too... :)

Thanks for looking!
