Running in Circles

Soooo ... I went a little overboard.  This started out as an attempt to do something for St.Patty's day ... it ended up with me trying a different pattern on every nail.  In my head it was super cool, in reality a little weird.  I liked the individual patterns though ... which one is your favourite??

Happy Polishing!

Jade is the New Black

I don't know if it's because Pantone revealed that their colour for the year is Emerald, but I seem to be buying a lot of greens lately.  My goal is to find one that actually looks good on me.  This one is a good start.  It's OPI's Jade is the New Black.  Great formulation, and nice rich colour.  I added on the gold triangles.  The boyfriend says that I it looks like Cringer (if you grew up in the 80's like I did, you know what I'm talking about ... He-man's 'fearless' friend ... anyone??).  I still like it ... maybe even more now!  I did another variation with the gold striping tape which I love love love.

Okay fine, you can save me

Feeling the dark nail polish lately.  I love OPI's Nein! Nein! Nein! Okay Fine! .... first of all, the name is awesome ... second it's just a great unique polish.  A dark creamy grey with blue/grey undertones.  You can see how different it looks in different light, but I love it.

Red and Gold

I had some time to kill so I decided to update my German-icure manicure :-)  I grabbed some scotch tape and some gold shimmery polish ( I used OPI Glitzerland) and went at it.  To get the straight lines I used the scotch tape.  If you're going to use it make sure you take some of the stickiness out before you put it on your nail, otherwise it will ruin your base colour.  You can either stick it on your palm a couple of times, or what I decided to do which was stick it on my jeans once or twice.  I want to do this one again with different colours.  I like the red and gold but it reminds me a little of Christmas ... all in all not exactly a bad thing.
