31DC2013 - day 25

Day 25 is Inspired By Fashion and I've got 25 minutes to write this post before midnight!

I work in a clothing store so I am always surrounded by cool clothes with nice patterns, and I chose one of my favorite Volcom shirts to mimic.

Tada! (Sorry for the little bits of black residue I could NOT get off and did not have time to get off.)

Because I needed something easy, I decided to go with a stamping image from Mash, plate Mash-42.
The base color is Color Club - Bright Night from the Kaleidoscope Collection and I stamped with Konad black special polish.
I also used Color Club topcoat from my Kaleidoscope set because it was nearby and I smeared my stamping a little. But my Seche Vite has been annoying me lately so whatevs.

But wait... I guess this kinda applies more to tomorrow's theme of Inspired by a Pattern, doesn't it? Oh well, this is a shirt!!!

Working in a clothing store where you like all the clothes is HARD. Good thing there's an employee discount!

I finished the post with 15 minutes to spare... Phew!

31DC2013 - day 19

Hey everyone! Today's theme for the 31 Day Challenge is a fun one! Galaxy Nails!

I chose to do a pastel galaxy again because I think they are just soooo pretty and dainty.

Isn't it out of this world? Bad pun.

I started this manicure with a light pink-nude base, OPI - Steady As She Rose, to allow the various shimmers I sponged on top to stand out.
I don't know if this is all of the ones I used, but here's what I can remember:
China Glaze - Shaken Not Stirred
China Glaze - Martini Pedicure
China Glaze - Grape Juice 
OPI - You're Such A Budapest
OPI - Pedal Faster Suzi
OPI - Give Me The Moon!

Using white acrylic paint I added some stars to enhance the galaxy effect.

AND I ADDED A UNICORN. Yes. Yes I did. A unicorn galaxy.
It's from Mash plate Mash-39.

I lurveeeeeee this manicure. I actually had this done before I went away because I just tried to get as much done as I could.
And I'm glad because again I had practically no time today... But I have tomorrow off!

I hope you guys like these as much as I do!

seeing stars

Aloha! Time for another summery mani using the China Glaze Sunsational Collection for Summer 2013.
By the way - I finally have all 12 of them swatched and I will be posting my full review tomorrow!

Since I bought this collection a few weeks ago, I truly have not stopped wearing them.

The base color here is China Glaze - Shell-O and I added OPI - Yule Love This Silver on top for some added sparkle. And then some stamping!
The image I used is from plate Mash-49, and I stamped using Konad Black special polish which is my all-time faaaave black for stamping (duh.)

This manicure was so bright and in-your-face with the neon color and the huge stars. I loved it!

Now... Can you contain your excitement to see all the swatches tomorrow?! HA!
Toodles!

swirly whirl

I had no idea what to call this post... Swirly Whirl it is!

Just a quickie post from me tonight because thus far I am winning the award for April's Worst Blogger. Haha!

This is a continuation of a previous manicure you may remember from my post about Sky from piCture pOlish!
The night I did that manicure, I ended up finding a pretty purple Art Club Striper on clearance at my local drugstore. And I started to play with it.
If you look really closely you'll see that I was messy as HELL but I think it turned out cute! (So long as yo don't inspect it too well.)

This stamping image is from Mash-40 and I stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Presto Pink. The base color is piCture pOlish - Sky.
The striper is Art Club - Passion Flower.

Lately I am really enjoying playing with striper polishes.
In fact, I have another striper mani for you tomorrow! Stay tuned.

piCture pOlish - Sky

Hello! It's piCture pOlish Monday Tuesday!
I was too cranky yesterday to get on my computer and make a post so I'm a little late. As always, better late than never!

piCture pOlish - Sky
A perfect sky blue creme! Everyone needs a polish like this in their collection, it looks so fresh and clean and crisp.
I did three thin coats to cover all patchiness but you could likely get away with two thicker ones.

 
I wanted to add some stamping to this manicure so I hauled out my new Mash plates. (New to me, anyway, they're not newly released.)

I love it! This image is from Mash-40 and I stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Presto Pink.

I wasn't expecting to love this swirly image as much as I did! I think I'll have to use it again soon because I have some more color combos in mind.

piCture pOlish is available at picturepolish.com.au as well as with lots of other network members around the world. Check out the Network list for a full rundown of the places you can find PP!

Stay tuned next week for another gorgeous shade!
