Inspired by Instagram/Another Blog

Hi everyone. I feel so meh about blogging lately. It's so much work to go from taking the photos to publishing a post and I'm just tired lately. Sorry about that, hopefully my mojo will be back asap :) Also, please note: the commenting giveaway will be active for March. I just haven't picked prizes yet! Would you guys prefer several smaller prizes or one grand prize? Any requests? Let me knowwww!

Today's mani was inspired by Nicole, the photo I used for inspiration was from Instagram but she has a similar mani here as well. This was a really simple mani to do, actually, but I love love loved the look! Nicole's on to something here, folks!

The base color here is OPI Rumple's Wiggin' (hi Jamie! thanks again!) and the dots are Finger Paints 15 Minutes of Frame, Julep Hayden, and Sation Holiday Pink. I just used three sizes of dotting tools and did a few dots of each size on the nail. Ta daaaa!

My New Year's Eve Mani

Hey guys! New computer is here and I'm back to blogging! Weeeee! Also, I've noticed my follower count is increasing steadily, so I want to say hi to all my new followers and thank you for suggesting my blog, adding me to your blogroll, or whatever you're doing so your friends are finding out about me :)

I feel so behind, but this is what I wore on New Year's Eve. It's basically The Polishaholic's Flakiegasm :) (Although I swear, before I even saw her swatches, I thought of it!) ;)

Anywho, so this is Sinful Colors black creme (I don't know the actual name, but you all know what I mean) with the Finger Paints flakies layered on top, although I forget what order I went in. I know I put Twisted on top because that one is my favorite :)

Artifical lighting

Up close to show the beauty, not just my cuticles' state of dishonor

More artificial lighting, boo!

Beautiful, no? It went really well to be a subtle pop of color with the LBD I wore :) Thoughts?

Fingerpaints Rose Patina & Fauxnad

Hi ladies! Today I have a post for you from the beginning of the week. I decided to wear some work-appropriate pink in the form of FingerPaints Rose Patina. Rose Patina is a nice, summery pink with subtle orange shimmer. I loved it on its own, but got bored with it and decided to try out my new Bundle Monster plates. (Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture pre-fauxnad: sorry!) This is the cheetah print from BM-221.

Excuse the chips... did I forget to mention the fauxnad was also to help cover up and distract from the chips in my polish? Whoops! My pointer seems to have gotten the worst of it.

I realize the majority of this picture is dark and blurry, but it was the most color accurate picture I could get unfortunately.

So what do you guys think? Personally, I love the new BM plates. None of mine were defective or damaged and they stamp great! I also love the size increase, it makes it perfect, even for stamping my thumbs!
