It's a Hard Knock Life.


Day 21

Today's nails are kind of a joke between my friend and I... he HATES knuckle tattoos, and thinks they're usually dumb. <---This is coming from a man who has lots of ink on his flesh. :-P SOOOOO, I decided to do this one for him. :-P i was pretty surprised the right hand "HARD" lettering turned out as well as it did, since I'm SOOOO not ambidextrous.





I used Zoya Gretchen as a base, with Zoya Charlize to pale it down a bit. I used Zoya Raven for the line work, with Zoya Dakota mixed with Zoya Raven for the red in the letters. The clover was filled in with a mix of Zoya Raven and OPI Green-wich Village, and the horseshoe was filled in with China Glaze Millennium

Gold Splatter on the Russian Navy!


Day 20

Todays post is a quickie- I had to do them this morning instead of last night... apparently last week and the weekend's event s finally caught up with me, because I fell asleep on the couch at 7:30 without doing my nails...GASP!



I used OPI Russian Navy matte which pretty much looks like black matte when it dries, same as Lincoln Park after dark. I'm kinda bummed. In the bottle its gorgeous. The gold design is China Glaze 2030 from Khrome Collection I can't say enough about how beautiful these 'Khromes' are. one coat and they are perfect- great for Konad... I used Konad Plate m70 for the design.

Dia de Los Muertos Sugar Skulls!


Day 19

Happy November everyone! To celebrate Dia de los Muertos, I did sugar skulls on my nails....



I used China Glaze White on White as a base, with Sally Hansen Nail Art pen in Black for the line work, Zoya Pippa for the yellow, OPI La Paz-itively Hot Matte for the hot pink with Zoya UltraGlitter in Astra over top of it for sparkle. The turquoise is China Glaze Shower Together, the purple is Hot Topic Purple Iridescent Glitter Polish and the green is OPI Green-wich Village. Phew, I think thats all of it. Im sure there's more that Im missing.
