Monster High Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, and Cleo De Nile

Finally gotten around to uploading the last of the Monster High polishes!



Clawdeen needed three coats for me. Accented with gems.



Used two coats of Draculaura. Konad and Bundle Monster'ed images on. The light pink is Maybelline's 'bubble pink', while the black is Color Workshop (from a set sold at Wal-Mart during Christmas).



Lastly, Cleo De Nile took two coats, with a coat of Confetti (sold at CVS here) 'ice ice baby' and accented with blue gems.


I hope that one day another line of Monster High polishes come out featuring Ghoulia, Holt, Jackson and Duce. I imagine they would be awesome. Until then, later days.

Frankie Stein

Earlier this month, I managed to find a set of Monster High nail polishes at Justice. Finally I am giving them a try.



I used two coats of Frankie Stein, a nice blue. To go along with the Frankie motif, I used Pure Ice 'silver mercedes' with Konad plate m60, and Sinful Colors 'black on black' with Konad plate m13.

Hopefully I will be able to get through all the Monster High polishes before my vacation is over. Later days!

This is what happens when you forget to upload things from your camera. I've had a couple of these for weeks now, but forgetfulness overcame me until tonight.


I did this for October 20th's 'wear purple' day. I used a franken purple, a halloween white, and Wet 'n Wild black.



Several months ago, I had gotten those cool looking layered nail polishes at Claire's. Unfortunately it did not work out very well, so I decided to shake the bottle. This lovely purple was the result. I then used a bundle monster plate over it with a Wet 'n Wild black.



This will probably forever be my favorite manicure. I used a Wet 'n Wild pink, Halloween bottle white, and Wet 'n Wild black. Mostly bundle monster plates were used with the larger bat from a Coraline Konad plate.


This is another polish I've had forever, but just recently have I been warming up to nude polish colors. Bundle monster plates were used with this, though not very well. Wet 'n Wild black and a silver Pure Ice for the crown.


This is from today. I think I love Hot Topic glitters. I used three coats of this teal glitter, and it has been on my nails for 2 days now with almost no problems at all. I'm very surprised, as most times, my nail polishes do not last through a night at work.


Hoping to get back into the swing of things, photos and all, as most of these are quite recent. Until then, later days!

Here's another small backlog of photos. I will finally start posting more regularly very soon. Every base polish in my photos are scented! I didn't realize that until just now.



Hot Topic's 'green apple' which really does smell like green apples! I love the color, and the scent, too.




Revlon's 'gumdrop'. Posted it before. Coraline is Konaded over top.



Another Hot Topic scented 'orange'. I couldn't smell this one as well as the green. It might just be me, though. Halloween goodness Konaded on.


Well, later days!

Pretty Pink Flowers

I feel like I've been getting very lazy with taking photos. This one is most recent, though. From yesterday!



I bought the very sheer pink at Walgreens on Monday, and finally got to use it. I first used two coats of Wet 'n Wild's 'break the ice', which is becoming a real favorite of mine. I then used two coats of Sinful Colors 'glass pink' and then Konad plate co2 with Maybelline 'pink shock'.

I've got a few other new polishes, and am going to try out the new glitter I got on Monday as well. It doesn't look like much in the bottle, but hopefully it will look better out. Until next time, later days!

Bite the Bullet

It's taken me a while to hunt down this color. Every time I'd been to Wal-Mart, Target, and Rite Aid, they've always been sold out. Finally, I got a little bit of luck and managed to pick it up at a Target.



I used two coats of 'bite the bullet' over one coat of Wet 'n Wild 'hush hush'. On top I used Konad plate s10 and Sally Hansen 'celeb city'. I'm so happy I finally tracked it down.

Until next time, later days.

I loveded you...

While lurking the mall, I found in Hot Topic's clearance section a whole bunch of Nickelodeon's Invader Zim Gir nail polishes. They were all marked down to 98 cents, so I couldn't pass it up.



An unnamed blindingly bright yellow. I compared it to the Milani neon, and it is a whole lot brighter, even in one coat. Very crazy. On top, I used Sally Hansen 'blue it' and Konad plates m60 and m13.

Today I went and bought a couple new Shrek polishes by OPI I cannot wait to try them out.

Until next time, later days!

Gold and Brown

I had picked out the Konad plate/design before I decided on a color, but I think it turned out fairly cute. Even if it appears that one nail got chipped mysteriously.



Used four coats of Wet 'n Wild 'goldmine'. It's really sheer, and finally after four it looked good. On top of that, I used Konad plate s10 and a franken made from an ancient Lancome (gasp!), Petites 'shimmer bark' and a few drops of a random black to darken it.

Until next time, later days!

Flowers and Bunnies

I've been getting behind on photos and posting. Not that there's anyone reading, LOL. This is from this past Sunday.



I wanted to keep it light and delicate looking, so I used one coat of Wet 'n Wild 'break the ice' and used an unnamed Rimmel for the lovely purple flowers. Called it a day at that.

Due to a couple of my nails being super thin at the tips and peeling, I forced myself to cut them off and start anew. This is the aftermath.



I used two coats of Petites 'black diamond' and a bunny and cross bones decal. 'Black diamond' is fantastic. It has the look of Milani's 3D holographic polishes. Really fantastic. Petites brad can be bought at Rite Aid and Wal-Mart (I think).

Well, until next time, later days!

Batty

I have done my nails several times since the last post, but alas, they all got chipped while at work, so no photos of those.

Today I decided to go back to one of my staples, black nail polish. I'm not going to lie, most of my clothes are black, so it goes with everything.



I used two coats of Rimmel London's 'black satin', Konad plate c04 with an uncheap (gasp!) polish from OPI's line for Sephora called 'queen of everything'. I like the way 'queen of everything' stamped. Probably the best non-special polish I've used.

Well, until next time, later days!

More 3D Holographic

While out last week, I once again found myself in front of the Milani display at CVS. They were fully stocked, but I decided to only pick up one more 3D holographic.



I used two coats of Wet 'n Wild 'french white creme' and two coats of Milani 'HD'. It's a fantastic silver, but I thought it looked strange on its own, so I used Rimmel London's 'black satin' and Konad Coraline plates c01-c05.

Until next time, later days!

Pink Hottie

Today, following the advice of my sister, I used Milani's 'pink hottie' neon.



I used four coats. This time, I did not use a white undercoat, and surprisingly, it is still very bright. Over top I used Konad plate m60 and Pure Ice 'silver mercedes', which was really odd when stamping. It came off like silver leafing, rather than what I've been used to outside of non-Konad polishes. It still has a nice overall look to it that I like.

Until next time, later days!

Maybelline 'Pie in the Sky'

On a recent buying spree, I got sucked into a sugary sweet looking display by Maybelline. It's the new spring collection. Today I have on 'Pie in the Sky'.



I used three coats, and it was for the most part, opaque. On top, I used Konad's special polish in white with plate m60, and Sally Hansen 'celeb city' with plate m11. The blue has a sweet spring feel to it, but it also reminds me of winter at the same time. Very lovely.

From the same collection, I bought 'bubble pink', but do not have any photos of that yet. Maybe soon I will take some. Until next time, later days!

Och Aye!

I was a little inspired by Craig Ferguson.



I used Sinful Colors 'black on black' as the base. It is the most fabulous black I've encountered! One coat was perfectly opaque. I used Konad plate CO3 for the terrier with Sally Hansen 'celeb lights', and M60 for the tartan and Sally Hansen 'emerald city'. It unfortunately does not show up too well. I was quite disappointed. The green is far too deep. The seche top coat I used did bring it out a bit, but not as much as I had hoped. Oh well.

Until next time, later days!

Today I have to show off the ever-popular cheap brand, Wet 'n Wild. I picked this polish up at a new Wal-Mart in town this past week.



The name is "night prowl". It's a black base with purple glitter in it. That photo is two coats. Once dry, it feels a little rough, but a top coat of seche vite smooths it out a bit, though still with a touch of roughness. On the thumb, middle, and pinky, I used Konad plate m60 and used Sally Hansen "celeb lights".


I know I am not very good at painting my nails. Maybe one day I will get better at it. Stay tuned for tomorrow and future posts!
