photo dump

i haven't posted lately due to lack of time and lack of feeling motivated lol.  it has been a busy month with stuff with my dad and mom going on.

anyhow,  i've still taken pictures of manicures and instead of making posts for each of these i'm just going to dump them into one post.  i'll try to start posting regularly again because someone *cough* brooke *cough*  keeps on my ass every time i talk to her.  thanks, sister.

anyhow, most of these have bottle shots of what was used.   if there are any questions, feel free to ask and i'll try to remember what was used.  the literary lacquers one was purchased from their etsy.  cult nails was from cultnails.com, china glaze was from sally's and everything else was purchased from llarowe.   i swear i will  never let my posts get this far behind again.

literary lacquers - more like fire than light
 

shift happens gradient

fast post tonight...it's a work night and i'm tired.  i really wanted to show this though.

my inspiration is from here, i fell in love as soon as i saw it and knew i wanted to wear it.

i didn't use a white for my base, i used contrary polish - somebody loved as my base, this is a light pink/lavender with shimmer.  i then sponged cult nails - nevermore and added 2 coats of girly bits - shift happens.

i want to do this again with other light bases. 

i do have a few other sets of pictures on my camera, just haven't felt like sitting down to upload pics, but i'll get them online soon.

there is tipwear from work, but this still looks gorgeous in person.

 the first 2 are without flash, last 4 are with flash.  again, sorry for the wear, i took these tonight when i got home from work since the sun was on my side of the building.

better together & daydream surprise

this is 2 coats of contrary polish - better together and 1 coat of enchanted polish daydream surprise.  1 coat of seche vite was used, then the next day i added a coat of butter london's matte topcoat.  i'm really liking the whole matte-glitter thing.

pear-butt wally is enjoying some snow watching today.

contrary and different dimension

i used contrary polish - gilded oak for my base.  i used cult nails get it on for my topcoat, 2 coats of color and a coat of cult nails wicked fast.

this color went on really even and cleanup was great on it.  nothing wanted to stain and i didn't end up with shimmer everywhere.   contrary polishes are available from llarowe. 

after that all dried i sponged on spectral tiger by different dimension.  love this set....i play world of warcraft...for something like 6, going on 7 years, so of course i fell in love with this collection.  if anyone wants to check out my main that i've played forever, here is her armory link.   spectral tiger glows in the dark, but i didn't buy it for that.  i love anything with the type of shimmer this has in it.
  

after that dried i used gelous and  a thick coat of seche vite.
