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.
Colors Used:
OPI- My Vampire Is Buff, Steady As She Rose, Red Lights Ahead… Where?, Alpine Snow
China Glaze- Lemon Fizz, Happy Go Lucky, Fancy Pants, Sunday Funday, Kinetic Candy, Desert Sun, Mahogany Magic

‘Huntin’ humans ain’t nothin’ but nothin’. They all run like scared little rabbits. Run, rabbit, run. Run, rabbit. Run, rabbit. Run rabbit. Run, rabbit, run! RUN, RABBIT, RUN!’
Bundle Monster is having a nail art contest with the theme of ‘Fright Night’. So of course I submitted something (shocker). The rules were to use stamping somewhere in the design, but I didn’t want it to necessarily be the focal point. I wanted to do something a bit different and a bit more fun. Let’s freehand Otis B. Driftwood! I mean, what’s more frightening than Otis B. Driftwood?
Y’all should help a girl out by voting me into the top ten.

Avatar series part five: Air.
Evil nubbins. My middle finger nail broke while I was working on these nails so I had to shorten them. Sad face. Anyway. I originally wanted to do Aang’s air scooter, but it just wasn’t working out…. at all. So I went simple and did the Air Nomad arrows. It’s air related! Don’t judge me. Oh yeah, and I suck at swirls. I hate swirls.
Colors Used:
Essense Nude Glam!- Iced Latte
A bright matte blue no name from Hot Topic
White acrylic paint
Avatar series part four: Fire.
Fire Nation take two! Soooo…. I thought I had a pretty awesome idea for the Fire Nation, but I failed at executing it. Failed miserably. So I resorted back to one of my favorite techniques: gradient. Much better.

Avatar series part three: Earth.
When I was coming up with this mani, I had a horrible time. I mean, what does one do to represent Earthbending? The only idea that came to me was recreating the layers of the Earth’s crust. To be honest, I don’t love them, but I definitely don’t hate them. They kind of have an ugly pretty quality to them.

Vacation, here I come! Today, I’m leaving for vacation for the next three weeks, which means the only thing I’m going to have on my nails, outside of these, will be my base coat and crackle/shatter polish.

Batman! Fuck yeah!
Did you really think I was not going to do something for tonight’s Dark Knight Rises’ premiere? I didn’t have a whole lot of time to work on my nails for the movie, so I went with a minimalist look. I found this awesome print by Christopher Conner on etsy and I just had to attempt to recreate it on my nails.
