Twinsie Tuesday - Summer Lovin'

I went more literal with this theme. For today's mani, I started with OPI Need Sunglasses? (perfect summer polish name, right?!), then did a semi glitter gradient kind of look on top with Polish Me Silly (previously Lush Lacquer) Summer Lovin.

Color Club Volt of Light + Lush Lacquer (now Polish Me Silly) Lite Brite

This is a mani I wore forever ago (well it was this past summer, which seems like a century ago. I miss the warmth!!) but never got around to posting. But I figure now is a fairly good time to share it, to brighten up the nasty winter! 

This is Color Club Volt of Light topped with Lush Lacquer (they've recently changed their name to Polish Me Silly) Lite Bright.

If I See One More ____ Mani, I'll Puke!

Have I mentioned that I love doing collabs?! Well, I do. And of course, I've done a gazillion more!

A while back, I did a collab with a few other girls were we did designs that aren't necessarily bad or ugly, but are overdone. So in another collab I did recently on IG with Amy and Mai, we repeated that same theme, for a second version.

Shark Week 2013 Nails

I keep seeing a lot of awesome Shark Week manis on Instagram, so I gave in and decided to jump on the bandwagon!

Gradient Palm Tree Nails

Quite a while ago, I came up with the idea to try out some gradient palm tree looks. The first one was over a base of China Glaze Dance Baby and Lush Lacquer Party Rockin. I did the palm trees with acrylic paint, gradually adding more white to it as I filled in the palm tree shape.

Oopsie Daisy
One coat over one coat of Revlon Hazy. ONE daisy glitter after I painted it onto 10 nails. Lame.

Rainbows and Ice Cream: Skittles Nails - An IG Collaboration

I did some matching quadruplet nails with a few other girls on Instagram!

Our color scheme was rainbow, with the theme of ice cream, and we did a sort of skittles look: one nail a marble, one a gradient, one glitter, and the fourth finger and your thumb however you wanted.

So I used a lot of stuff for this mani!

Glitter Topper Skittles

I couldn't decide what to wear the other day, so I just threw together some random combinations!

Sinful Colors Let's Talk & Lush Lacquer Lite Brite

This had to be one of the hardest manis for me to photograph to date. I always seem to have a problem with that, but especially with this one! The base color (Sinful Colors' Let's Talk) likes to be a typical, difficult purple and comes off in pictures as more blue than it really is. Plus, Lite Brite is just hard to get good pictures of, period, though I am not sure why that is. Any time I try, it doesn't like to behave!

I think I took about 100 pictures of this manicure and only a couple turned out halfway decent. And calling them decent is even a stretch!

Lush Lacquer - Pink Panther

I always love Mr. Bubbles more and more every time I see it, so I expected it to be my favorite of the three Lush Lacquer polishes I got. Pink Panther was the one that really won my heart, though! This is three coats over a shimmery, pastel pink L.A. Colors number. Of course, they are terrible at labeling their polishes, so I am not sure what the name of it is.

Lush Lacquer - Mr. Bubbles

I am thrilled to finally own my very own bottle of Mr. Bubbles! I always love this Lush Lacquer more and more every time I see it on other blogs! 

Lush Lacquer - Lite Brite

Although I hated trying to photograph this beauty, I really love it over black! This is one coat of Lush Lacquer Lite Brite over Wet'n'Wild Black Creme.

I won this in a giveaway, with two other Lush Lacquers from Kayla Shevonne last month. They are my first Lush Lacquers, and I am really loving all three of them!
