Two for the Price of One

yeah it's been a week, here's what I've been up to- a matchy matchy spotted mani with Cult Nails glorious black Nevermore over LVX creamy dreamy oh-so-faintly-griege Cashmere. Also, ILNP Fall Semesterm three coats of the beautiful blue shift/sparkle/holo. (sorry no sun pics, it really does have a good linear holo in the sunlight)

Sunday Dotticure!!

Three coats of the lovelywaxy lime green Butter London Jaded Jack is my base for a few shaded dots today. Lippmann Gel Lab topcoat makes it smooth and glossy.
  I used LVX Cashmere and Viridis for the dots.

 

Yipes! Stripes! MSMD

Yipes, stripes, Beechnut's got 'em, yipes, stripes in Fruit Stripe gum, yipes stripes five different flavors, get Beechnut's Fruit Stripe gum! Ok so now if you're over 50, you'll have that jingle in your head all day, you're welcome!

I didn't set out to make my nails resemble the gum from my childhood, I actually was doing a MSMD of the wonderful Manicurity here.  However, I'm not a white base person, so I used LVX Cashmere as a base. It's a creamy stone color you could also call a warm pale gray. I also don't lean towards primary colors much, so Bettina's Resort collection with it's tropical shades fit my taste.  After finishing, this song came into my head I hadn't thought of in many years, and I have to admit, they do look a little like the gum-
