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...

ilnp Cold Fusion

Happy Sunday! I decided to try one of the new ilnp flakies that I just purchased with my Spring 2015 pre-order.

All I can say is thank goodness for work-day Saturdays. When else would I get my nails done?

Happy St. Patrick's Day! China Glaze Unpredictable and Sinful Colors Green Ocean

It's that time of year again! Green manicures for St. Patrick's Day. I do absolutely nothing for St. Patrick's day other than have green bagels, green donuts, green ... all the cakes, basically.

I also love this time of year because it reminds me of my 2 year old struggle to find Sinful Colors' Green Ocean, which is part of their (yearly) limited edition St. Patrick's Day display. It took me that long to find a bottle anywhere, and believe me, I went to a good 10+ Walgreens each year until I finally found it! And freaked out and bought like 3 bottles so I'd never run out ever.

That being said, I requested that my boyfriend find a color that he likes with Green Ocean. Frankly, I don't think this mani does it justice, but it was interesting to use it over something other than your typical black.

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.
