Godzilla Nail Art RUN!!

This manicure is making me smile. Even though it depicts a horrifying scene. A HUGE fire- breathing lizard chasing innocent civilians shouldn't make us smile! :) The base color is OPI Ogre the top blue. The Godzilla is BB Couture Poison Ivy (best green ever!) the fire is Orly poison apple and an old Sally Hansen Live Wire. Thank you Nouvelle Gamine for the inspiration (shown below!)

1970's Owl Nails

I guess I was in a seventies kind of mood. I sat on my shag carpet and painted by the light of my lava lamp. Harvest gold... Avocado... Hey mom (or anyone else that remembers everything) what was the seventies red-orange called??? :) This is a fun manicure! I keep wanting to make the bow chica bow wow sound.

Brown: Barielle Make it a Latte

Harvest Gold: Sally Hansen Forsythia

Avocado Greeen: BB Couture Iced Olive

Red-orande: Sally Hansen Nasturtium

I finished my entry for PHD's challenge. I can't wait to share it with you on Saturday!!! :)

This is a ** MAN-icure ** BB Couture For Men Pipe Bender

Today, I bring you a MAN-icure. :) I felt like being a little tacky, a little inappropriate and a little awesome. The base color is BB Couture For Men Pipe Bender. This is a VERY unique color. It's a pretty slightly blue-ish deep green packed with a blurple shimmer. It's not super manly on it's own. So, I added a bit of testosterone with a mudflap girl! Can't get much more over the top manly than that!! This is two coats with seche vite on top. The chrome girl is stargazer chrome.

Here is a close-up of the color.

You're a Mean One... Mr Grinch

The holidays are in full swing. The Grinch is the perfect character to express how I'm feeling about the craziness that surrounds the holiday season! I put him on my grouchy finger...

I just want to say that this green ROCKS. It is BB Couture Poison Ivy. This is the first polish I've tried from this line. It is so stinking shiny. This is two coats with Seche Vite on top. This is now my favorite green. I have a few more greens to try from BB Couture. We'll see if they end up being favorites too! I understand the hoopla over this line now. It really applied well.

The Grinch's face is Carolyn New York Greenwich Ave. What a bummer that this company is no longer around. The hat is China Glaze's China Rouge. The trim is OPI Alpine White. His eyes are blended colors.

Sidenote: I finally took the silk wrap off my middle finger!!!! The break finally grew past the free edge. My middle nail is so short. The rest of my nails have been growing at their usual crazy fast pace. I've been filing off any new growth because of that LOW in the nail bed break on my middle nail. Now that that break is past the "painful if trimmed" stage, I decided to do a gel extension on my middle nail only. I used a nail tip placed under (instead of on) my nail (I didn't have any forms.) I used a builder gel and sculpted the tip of my middle nail to match the length and shape of my other nails. I cured the gel under a UV light. Then, I removed the plastic nail tip. I really didn't think this would work. If it stays put.. I'll do a tutorial.. :)
