Inspired By…The Lacquerologist!

I love looking at other nail blogs…it's just so fascinating to see what other people come up with and of course, the swatches add to my never-ending have to have it list, and sometimes end up inspiring a bottle in my ever growing pile of polishes!

A looong while back The Lacquerologist posted a manicure I ADORED, you can see it here. I love her work in general, but this one really stuck in my head and I finally had to try it out. Here's my interpretation of the her awesome manicure, I used two coats of Sinful Colors Shock and Awe on my pinky, and two coats of Sinful Colors Nirvana on all the other fingers, except the ring finger. On the ring finger I did half of the nail in Shock and Awe and the other half in Nirvana. Then I added in the stripes down the middle using Sinful Colors Inkwell.

I loooooved this manicure, it was so bright and eye-catching and I got lots of compliments on it when I was wearing it too :)

Really random, but my bottle of Nirvana says Matte on the label…but it dried shiny, what's up with that?!

Thanks for reading everyone!

Sinful Colors Vacation Time with Love Birds

Hi everyone!!

Today I have a fairly simple manicure for you that I really enjoyed wearing. The simplicity of it was refreshing.

I started with one coat (!) of Sinful Colors Vacation Time on all my nails. It's a smooth, dusty brownish-pink colour, it reminds me of my favourite blush, lol. My ring finger and thumb are stamped with BM-H22 and Sinful Colors Coffee.

Since Vacation Time was opaque in one coat I'm going to have to experiment with it for stamping purposes. I love finding new, unexpected stamping polishes, can't wait to see if it will work!!

Blue and Brown Skittlette

Happy Friday everyone! Here comes the weekend!!!

Today I have a skittlette manicure for you! It features on my pointer and middle finger an unknown light (but still nice and bright!) blue from Color Club. Until the latest releases that arrived at Winners the multi-pack Color Clubs were nameless in both their collections and their individual color names. This one came in a pack with some other pastel/bright colors. Wasn't that a fantastic description, lol. If anyone knows the name of the color let me know!!

Anyways, I used four coats of the unknown blue. It was really streaky and sheer, but once it finally was opaque it was really beautiful. My ring finger and pinky finger are one (!!!) coat of China Glaze Mahogany Magic. I know lots of people aren't brown polish fans, but I quite like browns, I think they're fairly flattering for my skin tone. My ring finger has a star rhinestone which I purchased in a big ring of star rhinestones in various colors from Born Pretty Store. My pinky has one thick coat of Essie Shine of the Times. I love this polish, it adds such an interesting dimension to any polish and looks so different depending on the color underneath it, it's a real chameleon!

I love how the next picture really showcases the change from orange to green from Shine of the Times on my pinky finger. I spent a ridiculous amount of time looking at the color change in my pinky nail when I wore this mani! I just couldn't resist!
