Chanel – Rouge Noir
I juuust painted mine a few hours ago, actually!
I’ve got a tea-bag mending job on my thumb (it was definitely easier than I’d thought it would be…), but of course that’s not the important part. I’m wearing China Glaze Calypso Blue with Fairy Dust on top. On each of my ring fingers, I have a little moon-and-star decal, a star decal, a blue rhinestone, and a little pearl dealio, arranged in a little cluster (I promise, it’s not as cluttered as it might sound).
I even took pictures, I was so enamored. The polish looks more black in the photo than it does in real life, but it’s close enough, I think (Oh, and excuse the lack of neatness–I hadn’t cleaned up yet.): http://yfrog.com/ml54rwj
Also, the fact that I just used the word “little” three times in that comment tells me it’s time to go to sleep. I know half a dozen synonyms for the word just off the top of my head… *facepalm*
Zoya Raven with Zoya Delilah layered overtop (why yes, I did take advantage of their Vampy Kiss promotion!). Perfect black with red shimmer combo for Halloween!
Sephora by OPI What’s Your Point-settia?
Orly Iron Butterfly topped with ManGlaze Hot Mess on my fingers and ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly on my toes. Matte dark fun for Halloween!
Borghese – Milano taupe
The perfect pinky-taupe that compliments my skintone.
OPI Black Onyx with M.A.C Bad Fairy over the top. I was really disappointed with Bad Fairy 🙁 It didn’t have as much of a duo chrome effect as in the swatch photos and got major tip wear and chippage after one day. Still a pretty colour, just wish the formula was better and the gold showed through more.
Oh and CND Stickey as a base and CND Shiney as a top coat 😀
Essie’s Mink Muffs on my hands and OPI’s The Color to Watch from the Swiss Collection on my toes.
Orlys Galaxy Girl…getting ready for halloween 🙂

I’m wearing China Glaze Mummy May I on my fingers and Zoya Roxy on my toes.

I’m wearing an Iron Man look! 😀 I recently saw the films and thought they were super cool, so I decided to a mani. It’s a ruffian-manicure, with E.L.F’s “Blush” nail polish as a bottom color (two layers) and then OPI’s “Got the blues for red” on top of that (also two layers) and then topped it off with Seche Vite 🙂 It looks soo cool! If you haven’t heard of the ruffian-manicure, Google it. It’s awesome 😀

Bad Fairy from MAC Venomous Villains
I tried water-marbling for the first time with a black creme, white, yellow, and Peachy Keen by China Glaze, and topped in off with China Glaze Fairy Dust
I love water marbling, but it seems like i’ll get a couple really good fingers, and then just have way too much polish on others. need to refine my technique!
