How Much is that Doggie on the Accent Nail?

Hey, hey Bloggerettes! It has been a very long, hot minute since my last post and I apologize. However, I'm currently watching Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX and felt like it was time to post my Zombri nails! Zombri of course is my baby girl Boston Terrier. My nail art abilities are seriously sub par but I just had to do these!

Grey-t to be Here and Shine of the Times.

Grey-t to be Here, Shine of the Times, and Make a Spectacle.

I began with CND Stickey, 2 coats of Essence Grey-t to be Here, 1 coat of Essie Shine of the Times, 1 coat of China Glaze Make a Spectacle, followed by a thick coat of Seche Vite. Once dry I began my Zombri outline with a white base, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Then I took a short striper brush and an opaque black, Revlon Stiletto, and outlined her face, her nose, and whiskers. Then brown for her eyes and some pink for her ears and 1 more coat of Seche Vite to seal her in! It's funny, my demo nail came out more like Zombri while on my acutal nail looks more like Bronson.

See! But if you don't remember what Bronson looks like let me remind you...

Here he is after having couch for dessert!

What do you think of my totally derp representation of my pup? Thanks for looking!

Of Cabbages and Kings!

I recently acquired OPI I Mainely Eat Lobster for a reasonable price. When I purchased it I thought it was a lovely coral with gold sparkle. But when I applied it it appeared more neon orange, a color match to carrots! It was both grotesque and pretty so I didn't want to take it off just yet. So I decided to apply some Essence Edward, a square green glitter with small holo glitter, a match to lettuce. BUT that wasn't enough so a funky french with OPI Ink was added matching red cabbage. And henceforth my mani became a salad of sorts, lol.

First, here's the completed mani!

 OPI I Mainely Eat Lobster

 2 coats Essence Edward

I wish I Mainely Eat Lobster on my nails look more like it does in the bottle but it's still pretty. Just not by itself! What do you think? Too much? Needs MOAR!lol

Quickie!

Here's a quickie post of random nails I sported throughout the year! Nothing too special, well not special enough for their own individual posts,  but they need a good home. I'm currently battling my annual end of the year flu and just don't have the effort to do much of anything, lol.

Nyx Gilded Glitter, Essence Edward & Bella half moons.

 Butter Londen All Hail McQueen. I don't remember the red.

 Messy failed attempt at stamping, was immediately removed, lol.

 Orly Rock Solid.

 SPACE!

 My attempt at mannequin hands.

 Ice, ice, baby dundundundundadadundun.

OPI Muppets glitter gradiant.

Well, I'm off for more napping and chicken souping now. Have a safe and pleasant Thursday evening my bloggerettes! <3

Howdy 'gents and bloggerettes! I know I've seriously been lacking postage on my blog due to work, etc. If I don't immediately crash when I get home I am right on my computer browsing up my blog roll. All the polished nails, pretty make up, and hauls/collections make me feel like I'm not the only person passionate about something that most people consider trivial.

My first water marble...(pic heavy!)

Oh happy weekend full of sleep and more sleep! So here's my first attempt at a water marbling. I think it came out pretty good but not quite what I expected. This is China Glaze Cowgirl Up, China Glaze For Audrey, Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment, and Orly Fancy Fuschia, my franken Bile, base is 3 coats of Essence Prismatic White, free Hello Kitty decals from bornpretty and a flower from my moms garden. I know that's a mouth full! The first finger I did came out the best, in my opinion, it's also the finger I didn't use any protection, lol.

Before clean up.

After the first clean up attempt. Ladies use protection!lol

I'm pretty proud of my first attempt. Though I wish For Audrey would have been more noticeable. I used one of my mom's flowers on my pinkies. I cut the petals to fit my nails, painted a fresh coat of polish, placed it, then painted a top coat. It didn't hold very well though and was peeling immediately. But I wanted to try!

I won my Essence Prismatic White from a giveaway from Holly at shimmerspark along with a holographic eyeshadow in Lilac and a holographic lip gloss in Holoberry. Keep in mind Essence states these are 'holographic' when they are really duochrome.

 Cute tape!

Lilac is a purple base with blue duochrome.

Holoberry on the left and lilac on the right.

Holoberry is a pink based gloss with yellow, green, and blue duochrome.

Prismatic White is a white based polish with green and pink duochrome.

Holly had super cute stamps and business card. This was a great prize as it was a brand I had zero experience with and it allowed me to try it out. The eyeshadow is my favorite base for my purple/blue looks. The gloss is gorgeous and the polish works great. Thanks Holly!
