Deborah Lippmann - Weird Science

I've been super busy and happy and loving my new job, so haven't had a chance to paint my nails lately. They get totally destroyed and broken when I let that happen, so they're on the shorter side right now. Today I have a simple/fun manicure to show you.

This polish comes from Deborah Lippmann's Holiday 2014 set, which was so spectacular that I sure did spend over $100 on the entire thing.

Sinful Colors' Cinderella & Darling Diva's Holiday

I would like to note that for the first time, I've actually come back to a draft of my post in order to completely change my review of a color. This manicure was for Lazycole to enjoy her week off in between jobs!
 

Ciate Boom Box and Color Club Lady Liberty

Today's manicure is designed around Color Club's Lady Liberty, which my boyfriend saw and decided was required.

Today's manicure will also formally introduce my fancy new (actual) camera! I've been ... managing to take 300 pictures and about 10 or so are good, so, brace yourselves for some detail!

The future is here...

butter London: Slapper, HRH, Henley Regatta, Indigo Punk

Once again working on a Saturday and, unfortunately, left to my own devices, I picked my polish for this manicure, so I'm less than thrilled with the turnout. I was skipping through my butter London's, which I own a ton of cause I love London...and I found way too many polishes that I wanted to use.

At least I've had a chance to swatch them now, because butter London's are truly truly stunning (and I have four less completely unopened polishes now...)

The overall result is, in my opinion, a little bit of a hot mess, but I am not the artistically inclined one, I just paint the nails...


Translation: Blame my boyfriend for this mess.

OPI I Carol About You and Essie Set in Stones

Thanks to this damned weather, I am sporting particularly short nails this week. It feels weird and awful and I hate it. However, I do like dark colors on short nails better, so I thought I'd take advantage by doing a simple dark color and glitter manicure. I had a particular Essie purple in mind that I thought I owned--turns out I had bought it way back, but for my sister, not myself--so I ended up with OPI I Carol About You, which is apparently from the 2014 Gwen Stefani holiday collection.
Over top I used one coat of Essie's Set in Stones from the 2011 holiday collection. (Happy Holidays, I guess...)
