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.

girly bits - eggnogoholic

so this one has to be my favorite light colored polish that came out in 2012.  i like that it's not blinding white and more of a cream color.  i don't own anything close to it. 

it was purchased from llarowe.  this is also available on the girly bits site here.

i did use 1 coat of orly - decades of dysfunction as my base, i didn't know how sheer it was going to be.  2 coats of eggnogoholic were used, 1 coat of poshe.  application was perfect with this and decades of dysfunction, no cleanup was needed for either.

girly bits - apparition

this is one coat of apparition over this manicure. this was released as a halloween polish.

i love how the bar glitter glows and how texas tea still shines underneath.

oh, and look.  no more stains from time traveler >.>

i  purchased mine from llarowe.    this is also available on girly bit's site.

cult nails - time traveler and girly bits - wet bikini

i've had this on for a few days now, base is cult nails get it on, 2 coats of cult nails time traveler, 2 coats of girly bits wet bikini and 1 coat of gelous to smooth out the glitter.

time traveler really surprised me.  it went on gorgeous with really even coverage.

so glad i added wet bikini to one of my last orders from llarowe,   i can see reaching for it often. i look forward to eventually trying out more girly bits polishes.

the color is more gorgeous in person.   the weather here has been cloudy and overcast so i've not been able to get a good shot of it in sunlight.  the pics below are all indoor with flash.

slightly blurry, but this does show the gorgeous color that kept getting washed out with the straight on flash.
