Fruity Nails

How do you guys wear these guys on without them feeling awkward on your fingers? Lol. I had to put a really thick coat of Seche Vite to secure each amd every fruits. However, pictured below is my nail without topcoat. They wore pretty well for a day & a half, until I started to pick them off.

Fruits! Yum :)

Rainbow Circles

This rainbow circles appeared on my nails after seeing Emerald Sparkled's circles & dots mani last night. A bit random with the color combo! It kinda reminds me to little kid's toys. Darn that glare though.

Colorful Circles

Colorful Tiger Stripes

I don't know how I feel about this mani. It looks decent on my nails, but zoomed up, it does not. Ha. I tried the sponging technique for the first time & sponged six colors onto a white base color. Then I added tiger stripes to them. These are going off soon!

Colorful Cheetah Prints

Another colorful nail design down before Pride comes around, which is this weekend! The first colorful design was from this post. Let's see if I can squeeze in three other designs before Saturday. Yup, so the overall mani is colorful cheetah print nails w/ a matte finishing. I love love love it so much!

Stripes & Hello Kitty's Bow

My favorite of the bunch!

Good morning! Last week's mani started off as OPI Skull & Glossbones, then I added Hello Kitty's bow for an accent nail. From then on, my mani slowly changed each day until it was time to move on to something different.

Simple, yet lovely!

added pink stripes & then used a matte topcoat

North Beach Festival 2011

Happy father's day to all the daddies out there!

Anyways, yesterday was my first time going to the North Beach Festival in San Francisco. It was really packed & the lines to get food were soooo long! I had a good time though, with the bf & his friend. & Here's my last minute nails to represent Italy! I used Sinful Colors Irish Green, Wet n Wild French White Creme, & Wet n Wild Red Red. It's so sloppy, but at least you can tell what they represents.

Italy!

Saw them taking wedding pictures next to Chinatown!

Soft Rainbow Water Marble + Shatter

San Francisco Pride is next weekend, so I'll be making my nails colorful til the end of the month. I started off with doing a rainbow water marble on only my left hand with light shades of colors. It came out really adorable, but if only each finger matched my index & middle fingers. I have a love & hate relationship with water marbling, so I'm glad this worked out a bit to my liking. I ended up not water marbling my right hand, but painting each colors instead. It came out very nice!

Water Marble

I ended up putting shatter on my nails during the second day of wear. My left hand had a top coat prior to shattering & you can total see the difference between both hands. I preferred the big shattered, made it so much easier to see my colorful nails!

OPI Black Shatter over White

Ever since I tried the black crackle/shatter, I fell in love with the black/white combo! For this mani I used OPI Black Shatter over Sinful Colors White on White. Simple, yet oh so lovely! ^___^V

Matte - Black Shatter over White on White

OPI - Pirates of the Caribbean

Hiii all! Here is a quick post with an old mani I found in my drafts. I did an alternating color mani, using OPI Sparrow Me The Drama & Steady As She Rose, both from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection.

Sinful Colors Midnight Blue w/ dots

Remember this mani? Well since that one turned out way better than expected, I wanted to try another color combo with a matte top coat. For my current mani, I am wearing Sinful Colors Midnight Blue with China Glaze Millennium from their Khrome collection for the dots. Midnight Blue has been with me way before I started collecting nail polishes, & it's almost running out! Then I topped the mani off with Essie Matte About You & that made the mani 100x better IMO. Ah, I also need to keep practicing on dotting my dots =P
