MSMD Wednesday?

Loving watching youtube videos from Candice aka MrCandiipants here. I made the mistake of watching MOST of the tutorial for fall flowers, then did my nail art. Forgot the leaves at the end of the video, clearly proving the art is flowers, so mine are a bit more abstract. Bummed. However, the gorgeous base colors I have on are from a new-to-me brand, Priti NYC. These are Italian Alder and Paper Birch from Dusk in Paris fall collection. Beautiful application and brush.  Lippmann Gel Lab topcoat. The artwork is dabbled various pastel polishes.

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.

 

ANNNNND I'm Back!

Priti NYC sent me this by mistake (their's, not mine, I'm thrilled) Giant Granadilla is a slightly deeper, and a tiny bit jellier version of one of my top 5 polishes, Finger Paints Cordur-Orange. I'm loving it so hard, I paired it with an accent of NerdLacquer Gorramit. Two coats of each, topped with Lippmann Gel Lab topcoat. Love love love.

Neglect.....

So what happened was.......I have so many Christmas and fall polishes to review in my roll as Nail Director for Beauty and Lifestyler Bride magazine www.blbride.com  that my nails have been looking like this

and this

so now you understand? I will get a reprieve shortly and get back to our regularly scheduled nail art. Thanks for being patient!

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-
