White to Mint Fade + Grey Zeebz

I just recently got a package of makeup sponges (which I LOVE to use, but NEVER remember to buy, as I use makeup brushes), so I'm back on a sponging kick. This interesting color combo is a result of my recent house-cleaning day in which I moved ALL of my nail polish/implements under the bathroom sink, and these colors happened to miss the move as they were hiding on my coffee table. But I was pleasantly surprised on how it turned out! From far away, they seemed like a subtle pale green, but up close you can really see the details. I painted on two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, then gently sponged on the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet. I then busted out Chrissy and my franken "Ash Wangsday" (ashy grey) and painted on some zebras. The end result was awesomely subtle. But unfortunately didn't last long on my hands; I ended up messing every finger up making dinner soon after I took these pictures.

This is a remix on the mint-white design, I wanted to try darker colors and black zebra stripes for a bolder effect. I don't know which I like better. But I love having different colors on all my nails.

Also, I haven't been able to comment on anyone or my own blogs. I try to comment on y'all's blog posts and it takes me in a loop where it keeps asking me to sign in, write my comment, sign it, write my comment again, etc. This is why I haven't been giving yous guys props for your beautiful nail designs in the last two months! :( If anyone knows how to help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Pink Wednesday: Stripes and Zebra Stripes

I'm really running out of pinks for Pink Wednesdays because all my pinks are hot or bright pinks and they all show up the same or really similar in pictures! This is OPIs Elephantastic Pink that Chrissy keeps leaving at my house. I painted my nails white, then a big bold stripe of pink diagonally, then I painted on zebras and out lined the pink with more black and added the stripes. I'm really proud of myself for taking my time on the straight stripes. Sometimes when I work too fast, I make them uneven and they look really bad, but this is good enough for me. Happy Pink Wednesday! and go to http://www.onwednesdayswewearpink.com to join us!

An Old Favorite

After bleaching my hair, I felt so shaken up I needed to get back to my roots (no pun intended!) and paint on an old favorite to remind me I'm still me... So I, as usual, couldnt decide on a color so I used Pink Promenade Creme by NYC, Sunny Side Up by Wet n Wild and Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen Hard as Nailz. Painted on zebra stripes, which takes me all of about 2.5 minutes for ten fingers now... and of course a couple coats of Seche Vite Top Coat. I think I have finally synchronized the use of 1 bottle of Seche Vite with 1 bottle of NPR. Which makes sense since everytime I paint my nails I aways have to take of polish and apply top coat. But now they are finally in sync so I buy them together now. Oh my life is so simple.

Orange and pink zeebz ;)

I finally decided to take some pictures with my camera; they are WAY clearer and you can really see the details. I will try to make a habit of using my camera instead of my iPhone. I used Wet N Wild "Sunny Side Up" for the orange, and Wet N Wild "Blazed" as the salmon/coral color.

My rendition of MAC green zebras

I saw these green zebra stripes in a MAC catalogue and this is my version using Wet N Wild "Caribbean Frost" French tips and NYC "Black lace creme". My boyfriend told me he liked this design when I first tried it on my natural nails, so I redid them in order to woo him into taking me to see Twilight: Eclipse. I'll cross my fingers.
