And now for a pic of my nails as described.....

From the Archives

Here is a pink from my archives, which explains the shockingly out of focus phone picture. But this is truly retina scorching.

China Glaze Pink Voltage

Traffic Jam

I always get jealous of bloggers who can think of cool names for their posts. I am not one of them.

In case you hadn't guessed this is China Glaze Traffic Jam from the Metro Collection.

This is an inside photo, even though it was gorgeous in Melbourne on the weekend I am totally incapable of taking photo's in the sun. I even change all the settings and everything. Any tips please?

Back To Normal Transmission

My school holidays have finished so it's back to work today. Three weeks spent carefully cultivating my nails and what happens. Last night the middle on on the left hand broke down to the bed. And because I don't like them being that uneven I chopped them all.

And apparently in chopping lost all my ability in putting polish on well. My right hand cuticles are ridiculously flooded right now.

This is 2 coats of Zoya Alegra, sparkly, sparkly pink.

And apparently

I also lost my minor bit of skill in taking photo's.

Quick question, do you use a point and shoot or a DSLR?

Color Club Ulterior Motive

Here is my Monday polish. Color Club Ulterior Motive, Fuschia with purple and blue shimmer in it.

I spent most of the weekend doing my 'Project' which, for the first step involved painting lots and lots of fake nails, and numbering them, each of the polishes that I have.

Next I will be making a spreadsheet of all I have.

Purple Colour Change

This is so cool this polish. I keep walking into things as a go between inside and outside.BYS ColourChange in Purple Glitter.

Warm on the left cool on the right.

Definately recommend some of these if you win my BIG BIRTHDAY BYS BONANZA.

Just over a week to enter.

Fail, Fail and, finally a Win

Some good ideas, I thought, that really didn't work.

Firstly Shatter Patchwork Mani.

Can't believe I'm actually showing a pic of this immense fail.

Then a Splatter Mani. Apparently something that everyone else in the world can do but me.

And , finally, yay something I can bear to look at for a couple of days. Zoya Lolly (Mod Mattes) with Nubar 2010 on the tiop then a matte topcoat.

On Wednesday's We Wear Pink

Hi, This is my first Pink Wednesday post. This is China Glaze Ahoy! from the Knotty Nauticals set. Just as troublesome as the other ones I found, but I got there in the end.
I think I need to buy a smaller digital camera, the big ones just too hard to take pics of my hand with.
This is taken outside with a flash to get the closest real to life colour.

Finally, Mani's Again.

Here is my very first attempt at Fimo Sticks.

This is a base of Color Club Raspberry Rush, which made me feel like i'd dipped my fingers into a tub of jelly, between the smell and the finish. I reaaly liked this one.

Sorry about the fuzzy pic. Still trying to get the hang of the Macro function.

And with Cracked Concrete

I wanted to vamp up the polish from yesterday. So I added CG Crackle Glaze in Cracked Concrete.

Nubar Prisms Prize

Was going to swatch my Frankens for you, but tried the green one and it's so sheer it would have taken about 25 coats to get opaque. Must try over a colour next time.

So instead I have put on Nubar Prisms Prize which is a gorgeous pink 'holo'. At least it's supposed to be a linear holo but lack of sun in Melbourne means its hard to see.

As my boyfriend put it, " It's not just pink, It's sparkly. Never forget the sparkles"

Random Other Manis

Here are other manis I have done recently. No idea on the detail though

Broken Hearted Crackle

This is OPI Blue My Mind with China Glaze Crackle - Broken Hearted

Girly Nails

Unfortunately you cant see the sparkly pink in the picture.

This is doing the tips with CG White on White. Then 2 coats of CG Bridezilla then nail stickers finished of with 2 coats of Seche Vite. It's cute but really not my style, so I'll probably change it tonight.
