Tuesday's NOTD and nail polish haul

Wow, i'm finally posting pictures faster than before. yah for me.


I was freehanding on Tuesday, i'm not in love with this, i like my right hand much better, then looked again and it was more one half lavender/one half hunky dunky. After all that polish i decided the top coat could wait till the morning and guess what i forgot the top coat until mid afternoon and already the tips are wearing. (Damn office job, can't blame that either as i wasn't shuffling paper in the morning as i was in a learning campaign) I know that i need to paint the free edge and do a top coat even if i don't like the design. I'm tempted to remove this tonight (wednesday) and start simply with a base coat.

Base - Mary Kay signature - Lavender Moon
Top Coat - OPI Hunky Dunky
Kiss - white and glitter for the strips/lines


Nail Polish Haul


I'm a little excited, i got the Seche vite for $4.99Cdn a 50% discount. the Top coat $9.99Cdn i had to purchase at full price. The pink Sinful Colors was discount to $2.99Cdn. Green was purchased at regular price of $5.99Cdn. These are my first purchases of both Seche Vite and Sinful colors i'm so tempted to do my nails again but it's already 10:15am and i need sleep

Saturday NOTD

This was last Saturday's mani,

Base - Nicole stic feeling girly
Top coat - Covergirl grapevine
Kiss silver
dots made with an orangestick (need to work on my dotting technique)

This mani didn't last long many days as i had bubbles the next day. Not sure if it's cause polish is old or it's the OPI Top coat reacting with it. I'm starting to think it's the Top coat as i didn't add the rhinestone on my ringfinger until the next day and then applied more top coat, and if you can see i have bubbles directly around the rhinestone. I'll test it again some time with my new Seche Vite top coat.

I did get some compliments on the design from the ladies at my friend's stagette in the bar.

NOTD

I did this latest manicure on Monday night, waiting until Tuesday after work to apply top coat...bad idea...think i'm starting to learn now. Also still trying to be patient with polish and apply thin layers and try to cleanup the mani afterwards better. It's a learning process!!!

these pics where taking on Thursday. Friday night (tonight) i will be removing this mani and doing another. I will try to take fresh pics before the polish goes on the tips.






Love this nail as i stamped almost perfectly with the gold...looks better in person.

Konad Plate M64

I just purchased a new plate M64 and this is the image that drew me in.
I really enjoyed this mani...the left hand is much better than the right. I didn't top coat till the next day after work and that was a mistake. Also forgot to paint the free edge. You can see the color coming off the tips as i didn't take pics until after the top coat .The Nicole has impressed me as it's been 4 days and today is the day that i want to do another mani as this one is past it's time.

I would redo my mani tonight but my parents are only 15 mins away. yah.
