NotD: Shimmery Nubbins with Spunk

So, I had to cut my nails down and now have nubbins. (-_-) But who says nubbins can't be fun too? I've been wanting to use my Vivid Lacquer - The Ragdoll's Soliloquy again, and a unique glitter is a perfect and easy way to add spunk to short nails. I used one coat over two coats of Julie G - Shimmer Island, a fun lime green shimmer. So, I'll show you that first. (^_^)

As you can see, this is a very sheer polish. I don't mind a little visible nail line, but if you do, you'll want to do 3 or more coats. Good luck taking it off, though. I'm already dreading it. Haha.

This is obviously different lighting. Sorry about that. (^_^;) So, as you can see, this glitter topper is very unique. Green moons, black hearts, small gold, matte yellow (or are they sheer white and look yellow on a green background? ::shrugs::), holo periwinkle hexes, micro green and black glitter, and a slight green shimmer. I love this polish.

Here's the other hand. I didn't try to place the hearts and moons. I like the randomness. I may try next time though. I also want to try two coats instead of one, but this was from a Halloween collection and I don't know if it will ever be released again. (-_-) Oh well, we buy polish to use it, right? Haha.

That's all for today! Only a week 'til Christmas; are you guys prepared? Finished shopping? I'm not. (^_^;) Almost...almost. Okay, toodles!

NotD: Indie Christmas

Hi hi! So, everyone is doing Christmas/holiday manis, but I just haven't gotten in Christmas mode yet. So, I thought I'd show you two indies that work perfectly for a Christmas mani.

Sea Lore Arista (Red)

 Both polishes are from Sea Lore. The red is Arista and the accent nail is Ariel. These pics are 2 generous coats with no undies or topcoat.

Sea Lore Ariel (accent nail)

The dry time is really good, but you definitely need the dabbing method to get an even coverage of glitter. It was getting late so I got a little lazy on the second coat. That's why you might see some thicker spots.

I thought Ariel was perfect for an abstract Christmas tree and of course any red works. In case you can't tell, the red glitter in Arista is holographic. Love it!

Well that's all for today. Happy 12/12/12. (^_^)
