Vault 101: Nude franken and first foil!

Hi everyone!

I'm cleaning out my little stack of posts to do before moving onto new stuff!
This was a franken I made out of Essie - The Naked Truth, I was never going to use it again as it was, and wanted to see if I could get it closer to my skintone, unfortunately my skin is multiple colours, not one!

Pretty darn close! This is 3 coats, it's still a little sheer as you can see, but no where near as bad as it was!

I also had some foils turn up from eBay, so I decided to give them a go!

 These may not have been the best choice for a first try, as because they are clear it was impossible to tell if they had transferred or not...

Hrm, not too bad for a first try! It looks a lot less shonky in person, trust me!
NB: I've since had a go with another foil that didn't have a transparent backing and the results were MUCH better...

What other nail art do you want to see?
(Hopefully not more mutant painted fishes...)

Love,

Safe for work...

Hi everyone!
The other day I had a job interview so my lovely colours had to be removed and do... safe for work colours.

Ugh. I hate it. I mean, just because my nails are holographic turquoise (they're not...) doesn't mean I can't be professional, right? Better to play it safe in the interview stage I figure.

This is Avon Nailwear in "Venus" - i've had this one FOREVER. I got this at the same time I got a pastel purple - and I remember wearing that to primary school! Gak!

I mattified it... thought it would make it look cooler. It did, purely because matte is a novelty to me still (lol)

On another note - I received these two lovelies in the mail!
Yaaay!

And oh... my... god... how have I been polishing my nails for this long without Seche Vite? It's AMAZING. Though I've heard scary stories of tip shrinkage and it going gloopy after using only half a bottle - any tips on how to work this stuff the right way?
Love,
