Birthday Manicure!

Hello everyone! It was my birthday on Sunday, and I was camping in the mountains so I couldn't do my nails on my birthday :( But I did them when I got home and I LOVE them! I've done a design pretty much exactly like this one before, but this time I did it a little differently.  The base color was Blanc by Essie.  I stamped the leopard design with Essie Licorice using Bundle Monster plate BM-221 (and the zebra print is 223) and filled in the spots with a dotting tool using a duo pink/purple from Charlotte Russe, Blue from Forever 21, and Pimp My Nail from NYX (green).

Also, for my birthday when there was a sale for Deborah Lippmanns I got 3 of them.  I got Sugar Daddy, Bring on the Bling, and Glamorous Life.  The bottles are so much smaller in real life than they seem in pictures!  Still, they're not small.  These are my first Deborah Lippmanns so I'll have to find out how the formulas are and everything.

Sugar Daddy (see the awesome duochromeyness?!)

I'm back with gradient nails!

Hello all!  I'm back, I had a wonderful time in Maryland:)  It's good to post again.  I have a bunch of pictures for you all!  First, I swatched Essie Main Squeeze. I don't get the name, that bothers me.

I didn't like it when I bought it, but now I fell in love! It seems kind of ghosty to me.
Then yesterday I did a gradient because I didn't know what to do with the color I had on (Love & Beauty Blue/green that I've shown bottle pics of).  I sponged Claire's Twinkle Twinkle about halfway down then on top of that OPI Lincoln Park After Dark.

 The one above is the closest to the true color.  My camera wanted to make it blue, and not catch the pretty purple duochrome glitters...

Well bye for now!

PS.  I got Revlon Whimsical!;)

New Polishes & Galaxies

I went to the mall yesterday and picked up some new polishes from H&M and Forever 21.  The H&M polish is double-ended with nude and plum.  It's called Frosty Lavender.  The Forever 21 one kind of reminds me of a peacock, it has an emerald sparkly base with turquoise and purple duochrome shimmer.  It's called Blue/Green because Forever 21 polishes are vaguely named.
My manicure is galaxies with what was supposed to be like an eclipse, but you can't really tell.
I used a ton of polishes-
the base is by NYC called Skin Tight Denim

the sponged colors are:
China Glaze-Platinum Silver
Orly- White Tips
Sinful Colors-Let's Talk (purple)
NYX- Pimp My Nail (neon green)
NOPI- Kim-Pletely in Love (pink)

and on top of the whole thing is Sally Hansen - Night Lights and a black and a white striper.
