China Glaze rainbow time!
While I ADORE my base of Sunday Funday and Snowflakes, I couldn’t leave it alone for long. After two days of wear I had to splatter a rainbow all over it. The flakies still shine through the splatter gaps. UGH.

The warmer the weather, the more I want to water marble. It’s a pain in the butt to water marble when it’s cold outside, because my room is always cold and water marbling doesn’t work in cold rooms.

Nothing like busting out some Connemara marble for St. Patrick’s day!
Connemara marble is so beautiful that I couldn’t not recreate it on my nails. I used pieces of scrunched up plastic wrap to marble the greens for my base. LOVE. I added the shamrock moons to make it a bit more adorable.
Fun Fact- When the fam was in Dublin this past summer, we stubbled upon Stephen Walsh’s Connemara Marble shop. Too bad he was in CANADA and my mom wasn’t able to meet him.
Colors Used:
Sinful Colors- Adventure Island, Seaweed, Leap Flog, Beau Khaki
Orly- Too Fab
And my right hand for Emerald City ComicCon!
I really wish I had better control with my left hand when it comes to nail art. My poor Darth nails didn’t come out as well as my Pardee nails. I was hoping to paint his full face on my middle nail, but that just wasn’t happening….. at all. I didn’t hate them as much now then before I added in the highlighting and top coat. Still, they could have been better.
Colors Used:
OPI- Red Lights Ahead… Where?, Alpine Snow
China Glaze- Lemon Fizz, Happy Go Lucky, Desert Sun
Sinful Colors- Black On Black
Can you guess where I’m at today?!
Emerald City ComicCon if you couldn’t guess. I’m going with my Dad in place of my brother since he was a dumbass and ruined his chance of going. Sucks for him!
I’m SUPAH excited to meet Ray Park and Alex Pardee. Legit. I loooooooooooove me some Alex Pardee. His artwork is creepy awesome and “Goodnight Lava” is one of my favorite pieces he’s done. I’m hoping to be able to pick a print of it at his booth today.

Just because Portland’s weather has been overcast and gloomy lately doesn’t mean my nails have to be. China Glaze’s High Hopes is such a gorgeous pink coral. It’s just so summery and fresh that I couldn’t not pair it with some pineapples. When I googled pineapple print to help get a reference, this popped up and it was exactly what I was looking for. There are other gorgeous and fun prints that I’ve now placed on my to paint list.
Colors Used:
China Glaze- High Hopes, Lemon Fizz, Happy Go Lucky, Electric Pineapple, Starboard (mixed with EP)
OPI- Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!
Gettin’ my Get Nailed on.
My temp job ended so now I can go back to wasting my time painting my nails….. Well, that is until I find another job……. Anyways. Since Chelsea is disgustingly talented and her nails are disgusting fabulous, I was inclined to do an Chelsea inspired mani. I loved her Prabal Gurung mani, specially the lined pattern on her pointer and pinky. Not only was I hell bent on that pattern, but I couldn’t shake off pairing it with block pyramid accents. And thus this Southwest-esque mani was born.
Colors Used:
OPI- Barre My Soul, Alpine Snow
China Glaze- Swing Baby, Aquadelic
Charlotte Russe- Tangerine Dream, Periwinkle Twinkle
Sinful Colors- Black On Black
Shot through the heart! And you’re to blame! Darling, you give love a bad name!
I just had to submit a mani for OPI’s Happy/Anti Valentine’s Day contest. The rules were to simply submit a photo of either a pro-Valentine’s Day mani, or an anti-Valentine’s mani. Being me, I had to go with the anti-Valentine’s Day.
