holy shit!

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING POLISH!!!



Nfu-Oh #52
It's more blue IRL. This is 3 coats... 3 coats of perfection. Although it could have used another coat. But anyways... this is so SEXY. In the sun, it's reminiscent of RBL Scrangie. 52 is beautiful on it's own, but I think it would look amazing layered over a rich navy blue.




China Glaze Twenty-Four K with plate m57
Yes, it's a little tacky.. but I like it. :) I used 3 coats of TFK.

Thanks for looking!

all i need now is some lingerie.

I got this manicure idea from Wan. Her manicures are AMAZING.

I started off with 2 coats of OPI Pink of Hearts 2009...


Then added Konad plate M71 and Art Deco striping polish in black and a french tip with W&W Black Creme...


How cute is that? :) My mom said it looks like 'lingerie'.
Thanks for looking!

I decided to treat myself a little by painting my nails, since I haven't done them for a while.

Short nails make Clara sad :(
This is OPI Sand In My Suit. Gorgeous color!

My boyfriend decided to be a good sport and let me do his nails. He likes when I shape and buff them, haha, but I decided to take it a step further and add some Konad. I chose plate M38 for his love of wine even though these are champagne glasses... shh :)



Lol, cute, huh? :)
And just to show how much he loved having his nails done:

What a trooper!

cutesy nails

I did this konadicure before I cut my nails extremely short (which are shaping up nicely, the stains and ridges are growing out! hooray!). Butterflies aren't really my 'style' but the colors made it a bit more me! I liked this mani :)


Pure Ice Kiss Me Here, butterflies are plate m41 with Konad black special polish and Finger Paints Easel Come, Easel go

birthday FOTD

It was birthday was yesterday! Just another day.. nothing special...
Ther lighting on these photos sucks SO BAD. It frustrates me... I think it's my walls that alters the color. Whatever it is, it really sucks and angers me to no end. I'll have to recreate this look soon, because I really liked it and these pictures do it absolutely no justice!

Face-
the usual

Eyes-
NYX Milk
Brule
Coppering
Woodwinked
Soft Brown

WnW Cream liner
L'oreal Telescopic

Lips-

My boyfriend is the best :) He got me these two beauties:

Ahhhh the silkiness, softness, denseness, qualitiness.. I could go on. :)

And here's my birthday manicure!

Orly Petit Four w/ Konad m71

more konad :)

This is such a fun time to spend my time...


China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise


OPI Do You Lilac It? (the fishnet design is sooo hard to get perfect!)


China Glaze In Awe of Amber

All of these were done with Konad black special polish and plate m57. Excuse the nasty cuticles... I always get the designs on them, and they're such a bitch to clean. Full plate designs really suck for that reason :(

Anyways, I'm off to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk with my boyfriend. They're having a barbeque for Marines and their friends and family. Should be fun :)

i love konad!

I just received my first Konad order! I ordered from OCNailArt.com, which I would HIGHLY recommend, as everyone else does :) I ordered the double ended stamper + scraper, plate holder (completely unnecessary), and 3 plates: m57, m41, and m71.

It's so much fun! Easier than I thought it'd be, too. It's a bit difficult to get to design perfect on your nail, but practice should take care of that. I did my mom's nails, and they were way easier to do than my own, surprisingly.

Here's my first ever Konadicure:

Pure Ice Twinkle w/ plate m57
Not perfect, but decent for a first timer :)

Now I finally have something to occupy myself with. I can't wait to order more!
