Twinsie Tuesday - What’s Your Sign?

.

For today's theme, we had to create manis based on our astrological signs. I am an October baby, so I started by attempting an opalesque (my birthstone) background. I sponged Essie Lapis of Luxury, Julep Nikki, Zoya Elodie, and China Glaze Dance Baby on my nails, then added a coat of Julep Melissa and Finger Paints Twisted.

Flakies for Freedom

The base for this mani was inspired by a look done by TrailerHood Chic in which she sandwiched Finger Paints Mötley in Revlon Royal.

It was really hard to capture a good picture of it, but I loved the look of the flakies layered between the jelly so much that I had to recreate it for myself!

Layering Lizards

I had the desire to do some more layering, so I started this one out with a green franken polish:

Then I added 1 coat of Pure Ice Oh Baby! And two coats of Finger Paints Twisted:

Twisted

I lied. This isn't Finger Paints' Twisted. =) I layered Motely, Flecked and Flashy over black and it looks exactly like Twisted, which is the one I wanted the most, but my Sally's didn't have it! Considering I am not the biggest fan of flakies, these three will last me for eternity unless I franken with them, so I am completely okay with not owning Twisted and layering these three instead! =D The other one I passed on was Asylum just because I didn't really like it from the swatches I saw.

Lamplight

Flecked

I love how the green shines against black in this one!

Flashy

I got 3 of the 5 new Special Effects from Finger Paints and this is 1 coat of Flashy over 1 coat of (I was feeling lazy and uncreative) Sally Hansen's Black Heart.
