Holo-gator Alligator...

Monday, May 13, 2013
Whatever you do, just don't ask me what that dorky title means. I'm sleep deprived and it rhymes and seems amusing as I write this. I'm sure I'll regret it in when I read it later, but oh well. You didn't really expect any different from someone who rhymed their blog name, did you? Anyway, this is another manicure from the "find time to post" folder. I'm sneaking this one in before it sits in that folder too much longer...


The base of this manicure is Color Club Beyond, a beautiful strong black holo. I stamped the print from Mash plate Mash-42 using Color Club Kismet. I was in the mood to experiment with stamping holo over holo to see if it would somehow change or mess with the linear effect. It appears to be unaffected and the holo still dominates...





That's it for now! I'm off to sort some swatch photos before heading to work...

Hope you are having a tolerable Monday :)

Thanks for looking!

Fashion Friday: Louboutin Python Inspired

Friday, July 20, 2012
Hi everyone! It has been quite a while since I've created a fashion inspired manicure so with my nails about the maximum length I wish them to be, it was time for Louboutin nails. I have done the "classic" black Louboutin before, so I wanted to try something new. For those that don't know, a Louboutin manicure is one where the underside of the nail is painted red to mimic the soles of the shoes...


The manicure was inspired by these gorgeous python pumps... pardon me while I regain my train of thought after staring at these...


For the base polish I used Sinful Colors GoGo Girl and stamped it with Zoya Carey. The stamping plate is Mash-42 from their new set. The pattern of the scales isn't quite the same, but it is the closest that I have for now. I love how it turned out...



Sinful Colors GoGo Girl is a bright pinup red jelly. Application was very easy, no dragging or bald spots. Three coats was enough to hide most of the nail line, but it is still faintly visible. The swatches are from about a week ago when I wore it on its own. It looked great at first, but after a day it looked cheap. Does that make any sense?
