Crumpet's tri-polish Challenge

Yes, I am afraid I finally caved and decided to try a nail challenge...right about 10:00 last night I was thinking it was a big mistake...but after seeing some of these...I have more ideas, lol! The challenge is on this link The Crumpet . Here was my first day:

I used Pure Ice Wild Thing, A England Elaine and Sally Hansen Rouge Red...

 

It was kind of fun, but truly, I don't know how to properly use a striping brush, lol! My line started out narrow and progressed in thickness....ugh! I've always been a chicken to try one of these challenges, but this is a pretty laid-back thing...I might be able to handle this one! Check out all the other lovely manis below!!

Gold Holo Franken

Hey there! I hope everyone had a safe and joyous holiday.

We celebrated Christmas at my daughter's home, the first real Christmas she has had there, since she moved in right before the holiday last December. Good food, card games and plenty of silly string...for those if you that don't know the mess of silly string-think foam string that shoots out of a can at people. My son got me right on the face and then the race was on! A few minutes later...we had to start the clean-up, hehehehe. It was WORTH it!!! I am a rowdy Mom:)
Ok, my mani has my gellac back on...all the crafts made me cut my nails down to almost teeny nubbins from nicks, splits and dents. So I put the gellac/gel nails back on-just 2 coats of clear base coat for strength.
Two coats of Sinful Colors Timbleberry and 2 coats of a Gold Holo franken.

 Below is the franken I made from gold holo fine glitter, and gold holo bar glitter-very pretty topper to any color!

 Also I took a picture of all the finished leather Altoid boxes. The one on the top was my first. There is  a Trillium flower painted on the top. They grow wild here up in the mountains if you are lucky enough to catch their blooming season

And here is a sneaky little devil helping himself to someones water cup while she was napping. I couldn't resist catching Goliath at this, it cracked me up. Yes, I did tell her it was raided by him, hahahaha....I'm not that mean!

Coral Bling-O-Rama!

Holy Cow, I bought some polishes today and 2 of them are almost made for each other, I swear!
I picked up some Sinful Colors and brought those bad boys home to drool. And drool, I have! I decided to pair SC Timbleberry and It's All About You. SC Timbleberry is a pretty coral/melon-ish cream and SC It's All About You is the frosting on that cake! There are little bits of almost the exact same coral color in the golden-greeny goodness....make sure you click on the pics to see all the lovely details.

2 heavy coats of Timbleberry, except on ring finger...2 coats of Revlon Gold Coin. Then 1 coat of IAAY over the coral-ish...2 coats over over the Gold Coin/accent nails, though....

Before the layer of IAAY. My camera didn't capture the real coral goodness of Timbleberry, darn it!

Would you just look at that stuff?? Looks awesome over neon green, too, by the way! Tough choice tonight!
