Got grapes?

I had to take one of these pictures with a flash because you couldnt really see the design but I sorta warped the colors... This was just a fast asymetrical tip design I did when I was to lazy and lacking creativity. I don't even like the color purple anyways; it's a good thing I did this particular design because my roomate caught a glimpse of these and had me do an almost identical version on her. The lighter of the purple is Nicole by OPI's "Virtuous Violet" and the darker is "Purple Pizzazz" by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails. I used my dotting tool to line the seam between the two purps. Got graaapes?

While watching the news...

While watching for potential riots on the news today in downtown Oakland, I was experimenting with some more designs. The first is boring; I used patches of white "French White Creme" by Wet N Wild, maroon "Burgundy Frost" by Wet N Wild, and a metallic light blue/purple "Rain Check" also by Wet N Wild. I just outlined it with some "Black Lace Creme" by NYC and there's some dots on there too because I'm so into dots since I found my new dotting tool. The second is an idea I got from Love4Nails on YouTube. She's amazing; she does lots of nail tutorials on YouTube and is really talented and the way she talks is just strangely relaxing! So for those who haven't seen her YouTube videos, definitely check her out! I made four checkered patches and outlined them with white dots. I used Nicole's "Respect the World" as the blue, Nicole's "Virtuous Violet" for purple, "Caribbean Frost" by Wet N Wild as the greenish blue, and "Burgundy Frost" by Wet N Wild as the maroon. Then of course, as I do with most every design, covered it in glitter BEFORE dotting on the white outlines.

Experimentation Time

Im experimenting with designs right now while my boyfriend plays video games. This is just an asymetrical tip design with layers of blue and purple, and of course, glitter. The lightest blue that I used is Nicole's "Respect the World", in the middle is one coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails "Purple Pizzazz" and then a second coat to make the third stripe. I did add three hot purple dots to the left side (one for each different color of stripes) but you can barely see it in the picture I took with my iPhone. I've been so lazy taking the pictures because its so much faster to upload with my iPhone than it is to upload the pictures from my camera to the computer. I'll do that someday when I'm not so lazy.

Let's get physical

Kind of an homage to this weird purple and pink moo moo my grandma used to (and possibly still does) wear, and a late 80s early 90s jazzercise leotard. I dunno, is it still dorky and tacky if you can admit it? I'm taking them off; I just wanted to take a picture of them. The blue is Nicole "Respect the World", purple is Nicole "Virtuous Violet", pink is CoverGirl "Fuschia Girl".
