Ombre not Hombre

Oh ombre, where have you been all my life.  I have seen tons of ombre manis on the blogs and I realized I had tons of blues and could probably pull it off.

Oh, yes. Sooooo pretty.

I have had a polisher's block lately so this is actually kind of old. I have a ton of stuff that I haven't published yet. I figured that I would post old stuff for now until I get out of this funk.

Happy Manicures!

Safety Dance!

Ok, so I have recently posted about my new favorite brand, Blackheart Beauty. Which as you may recall, is from Hot Topic and the bottles look like skulls.  Recently I purchased a few more and today I am gonna show you Safety Dance, and Royally Screwed. I picked them up and held them together and knew they were destined to be together. Safety Dance is a road cone orange jelly that goes on beautifully opaque in 3 coats. Royally Screwed is a clear base with blue glitter in small and medium hexes. They are a match made in heaven. The stamping on these is done in Orly Sweet Peacock.

I thought my nails looked like some sort of sports fan's display, so I stamped a unicorn. I imagine the team would be the Nebraska Fightin Corns. They are pretty big on the polo circuit, did you know the Fightin Corns scored 42 baskets last season without any fumbles making them par for the course? Hell yeah, go Fightin Corns!

Enough of my sillyness, go paint yer nails!

P.S. This is one of the black light colors and it is the shiznite!

Happy 4th of July!

I love me some fireworks! So shiny.
...shiny...

Sorry. I went to space for a minute there. Shiny, like my mani today! I also love me some orly metallics.  I started my whole collection with some boring Sally Hansons and Wet n Wild.  When I started reading nail blogs, I ran out and bought Orly Dazzle. That was in November, now I'm on my second bottle.  I started lemming Sweet Peacock shortly after that. Guess what? Just a few months ago, Orly brought it back! I snatched that one up quick. Finally just the other day I bought Orly Rock It.  It's gorgeous! So what does all this mean?

Super Shiny 4th of July Mani!!!

Behold...

Shiny fireworks and wavy flags and happiness. These pictures do not do it justice at all. 
SOOOOOOOOO SHINY!!!!!

I really love all these polishes, they are super easy to apply, opaque in only two coats! They are also great stamping polishes, perfectly beautiful over black.  Actually I lie, I have not tried to stamp with Rock It (red), but I bet it's great. 

Since this is a scheduled post, I have no idea what I am doing today. I think I am seeing Spider Man. The new one of course.  Hopefully with some friends. Well, thank you all for reading.

Have a great 4th!

As always, Happy Manicures!
