Green Ruffian, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hey guys! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Everyone is Irish today, so go have a beer, wine, or liquor of your choice, (those that are of age of course) and make sure to wear green so you don't get pinched!

Today I'm getting on the bandwagon of the ruffian style nails. Instead of just doing the two colors I took it further and I've used 6 different greens for this one! A few of my fellow bloggers have done these recently, so I cannot say that I came up with the idea on my own!

I honestly didn't realize I had as many greens as I do until I was looking through them to do this mani :P I'll start with the very bottom layer (the one closest to my cuticle) and work my way down.

Milani- 511 hi-tech
China Glaze- starboard
China Glaze- he's going in circles
Snowman polish- green
China Glaze- paper chasing
China Glaze- entourage

I freehanded all of these with just the polish brush, so they are not perfect by any means but I think they look pretty good! Oh and my light box isn't big enough for all the polishes so you see the sides of it lol whoops!

What do you think?

Until next time! Happy painting! and happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sunday's Haul

Hey guys! Sunday I went out running errands with my old man, and we decided to look for some new polish, just what I need right?! Yes...yes it is ;)

I went to get my brows waxed and I found the first OPI on the left, brand new, unopened and I had never seen it before, so it had to be mine! The rest I got all at CVS :)

From left to right we have

OPI text me-text you, OPI cuckcoo for this color, Orly sterling silver rose, Sally Hansen gem crush-lady luck, Milani hi-tech, WnW blue wants to be a millionare, hannah pinktana, and teal of fortune. And some nail strips by Kiss :)



Until next time! Happy painting!

Lots of pictures of untried polishes!!

Okay so as I told all of you earlier, I'm going to post pictures of the manis I did while I had no internet. I actually did a few more that I didn't take pictures of **for shame!!** but this is most of them.

Once again I'm sorry that my camera sucks so much, I can put it out of its misery in about another week or two!

So I tried to pick just one picture from each one to show colors :)

Alright so to start us off we have Orly fantasea with OPI silver crackle over it, this was a super pretty combo! I didn't really care for the way the Orly looked on it's own (I know I know...) so that's why I added the crackle.

Thanks to my friend Jess I am in LOVE with this!! I thought it was going to be a dupe for my ChG awaken and boy was I wrong!!! This is OPI lucerne-tainly look marverlous, in the sun you can see small flecks of different color, I love love love it! (it's what I have on today ;) )

I'm sorry this pic is so horrible, I did them at night and was so excited about the color I took the pic before cleanup! Thanks to my very first trade from Alyssa I recieved Gosh gasoline! It is sooo pretty! There is even some blue to it! It did take three coats to get it this dark so that was a draw back, and also the reason I didn't have a sunlight picture of it lol...they got messed up quick so it came off quick :P

So here I used Sinful Colors love nails as a base and put Sally Hansen HD spectrum over it, the picture does not give it justice at all! It was beautiful :D

So this was my boyfriends pick, not too horrible but a little dark for my liking for summer time. We have Finger Paints scenery greenery with Kleancolor chunky holo bluebell over it. Now I did have a picture in the sun, but in outside natural light you were able to see the glitter better, it wasn't quite holo over top of the green but it was still pretty.

Once again thanks to my good friend Jess for sending me this! (I also got the silver!) Milani 513 digital, so so pretty! need I say more?

HORRIBLE picture, but it was the only one I could get the true color to show with! This was the first time I tried a Zoya, this is jo :) she is a beautiful blue!! and I added some little nail art stars on my ring fingers :)

I love pink! and this one is really pretty! This is China Glaze strawberry fields, it has a bit of a golden sheen in the pink (which is hard to capture on camera, trust me I tried and failed miserably lol) and is perfect for summer! I kicked it up a notch on my ring fingers by adding China Glaze fairy dust :)


And that's all the pictures I have for now!

Thanks for checking out all the pictures, let me know what you think!

Happy to be back :)

Happy painting!
