Eyeko... dangerously close to being in my bad books....

Hi everyone!

Some good news - looks like i'll be temping again for the next couple of weeks! Yay!

Anyway - on to the polish.

Now, this was the one I was looking forward to the most... a bright electric purple...

While mucking around on polyvore (while wearing the Vintage - I was inspired by Nihrida's polyvores!) I made a set to encompass the purpley awesome I was expecting...

Ahhh... yummy purple, maybe set off with some black and white....

Unfortunately I got THIS....

What... the... heck? It actually CHANGED COLOUR from what was in the bottle... I managed to scrape one last use out of my dying bottle of Seche so I know it wasn't that... I'm also at a loss to explain the weird bubbly texture thats going on (if you can't see, click the above pic to figure out what I'm on about)

Just to make my point absurdly clear, look at the above photo. The purple on the left is the bottle of polish. On the right, my nail covered 3 coats of that exact polish.

Application on this was way better than the Vintage polish, but not worth it for a boring berry shimmery creme. Blech. And yet the bottle colour was so awesome!

Love,

Nail art... ...abstract impressionism is art, right?

Hello everyone.

Before you see these, I'm sorry.
I really, truly am.

I should only show you beautiful, gorgeously manicured nails.
I shouldn't show you this.

I shouldn't be laughing.

But seriously, if these guys had legs, i'd be telling them to RUN not walk to crazy town.

First off I'll let you know how this came about. I got three polishes from China Glaze's Ink collection. Being a MANIAC for purple I've known for ages that I had to get Flying Dragon. I also picked up Japanese Koi and Blue Sparrow.

Next, I wanted to do some nail art with these guys. Initially wanting to do something tattoo themed, the idea crumbled as I created these monstrosities...

     

Why on earth did I attempt something so ambitious? 

Because I wanted to. 

And I hoped it would have one of two results:

a) something AMAZING

b) something HILARIOUS.

Which do you think it was?

NB:
The first one is a BIRD.
Those are clouds.

The second one is a FISH.
Those are flowers in the water.
FLOWERS CAN FLOAT!

What I used:
BIRD:
Chi Chi - Mermaid
China Glaze - Blue Sparrow
Stargazer UV Nail Art Pen - UV Yellow
The Face Shop - BK901
Stargazer - White

FISH;
China Glaze - Blue Sparrow
China Glaze - Flying Dragon
China Glaze - Japanese Koi

Love,

"Where is boom?"

This is anther one from "The Haul" - probably the first one I gravitated towards becuase
a) This is my first OPI (!!!)
b) I looove vampy colours!

This is OPI's Boris and Natasha

I wasn't happy with the application - no idea if it was the polish or me but every time i put another coat on it took more off at the base of my nail.
Humph.

I thought it would look nice with my new China Glaze matte magic over the top...

Er...

No... just... no...

Love,
