Random Mani Spam-fest

I really am here....

OK, so my blog has been a bit neglected while life moves on and summer has finally arrived. Camping season is here (yes, I love to camp!), but since sleeping on the ground is no longer something my husband can do, I splurged and found a used tiny camper for us. And I am loving it, Mouahahahha! No more fighting the rain, I can cook inside and sleep dry! And yes, my nails are the prettiest in the mountains!

OK, on to the Manis!
(btw, I am not touching any of the Lynderella issues floating out there-I love her polishes, and I will post my pretties!)

Lynderella Change over NYC Tangerine cream (YUMMY!). The gradient wasn't very even, but it was still lovely...this is going on my toes next!
This is where we have been spending our weekends-Outside, getting our feet wet hiking!

My Nova (she loves her sticks!)

Crappy picture of me looking fat-ugh...but at least the waterfall is gorgeous!

Wet feet...had to take a picture!

~Break over~More Lynderella...

Essie Lilacism (damn bubbles...)

 Gradient using (woops, can't remember) I THINK  LA Colors gray/silver (sorry!)



Mercurial over the top-Stunning, I thought! Very distracting in the sun!
My franken, Cinnamon Glow! Have a few bottles of this up in my Etsy store (6HartsCraftCompany)

This one is yummy-kind of reminds me of cinnamon rolls and cinnamon toast.....Darn it, now I made myself hungry-off to the kitchen to make some toast!

Franken Quick Change!

I couldn't leave my last franken on my nails... 1) It changed the pretty blue too much and 2) Not enough sparkle/glitter :0)

So I decided to switch to a franken gray color and a franken neutral-purple glitter.

One coat of my gray franken....on my really atrocious-looking right hand...ok, it could be worse, but not a lot...

Then 2 coats of my neutral-purple glitter franken

 So, I had to look close, but I guess I did put black glitter in this...

Also, I put in some (pinkish) glitter you can see below in the close-up version, that made me think "black cherry" because it had an offset look to it that was almost black. Cool glitter that I got from Jo Ann's Fabric. White holo hex glitter, silver holo bar glitter and some other pretties...

Here are my two frankens above...

And the purple glitter franken over Orly Charged Up, next to the franken alone...you can see more detail here!

I was really pleased with how this turned out...I was inspired by Lynderells'a frankens, since it looks like I will never have one, hahaha!!

My Favorite Blue

I have worn this color twice and it has got to be the most heavenly blue...if you love blue, and I do!
It has officially become my favorite blue, if not my favorite polish...

One careful, thick coat of Pure Ice French Kiss *sigh*
Some free form swipes with a detail brush: Pure Ice Heart Breaker, Pure Ice Busted and I mistakenly added Orly Golden Halo swipes as well.  It was perfect before the Golden Halo....should have left well enough-alone!
Still lovely, so I can deal with it.

Oh, and one coat of SV over the top...as always! I shall be basking in all this Blue Loveliness for the next few days, until I decide I need a new mani, LOL!

Lilac and Gold loveliness!

The Minute I saw Sally Hansen's new (?) polish Big Money, I HAD to have it. It is one of their new Gems Crush polishes and to die for if you are a glitter addict like I am!

Most of the reason is that I love gold glitters, and also because it would look awesome with Essie's Lilacism...see the evidence!

2 coats of Lilacism...showing more blue than in reality, though-

1 quick application of SHGC Big Money on the corners...this stuff will overwhelm any polish it goes over the top of-it is drenched in Glittah!

Look at my ring finger below, I was playing with the new haul and put various polishes over my last mani...the dark green holo polish...

Look at that coverage-that is one coat...I can hardly see any of the underlying color! This is one you could wear totally on it's own. At any rate-I'm off to bed, darn cold here...looking a lot like last November all of a sudden!
