ninja polish - color changing garnet

i took these pics a few days ago, trying to shoot them with indoor light wasn't happening so i had to wait for the sun to come to my side of the building.

i still actually have this on.  it's another that i don't want to take off.

this is 2 coats of color changing garnet over cult nails - nevermore and 1 coat of poshe topcoat.  i probably could have done just 1, it still looked good like that.

this can be purchased from ninja polish.

i might need to sit down soon and just make a cheap lightbox for when the sun isn't out or for when i take pics in the middle of the night and the polish is one that needs light instead of camera flash to show it off.

lots of pics below.

enchanted polish - bruised nutcracker beetle juice

first off, wally says hi.

what a sleepy sweetheart.

i started this manicure with 2 coats of enchanted polish - bruised nutcracker.  this was from the ho ho holodays collection.  i did this last night before i went to bed.  used poshe as my topcoat and fell asleep.  i think i'm liking it more than seche vite.  there's no shrinking and it seems more glassy.

i came home from work today  and wanted to add to this manicure, so i grabbed beetle juice, which was my favorite from the falloween collection.  this is 1 coat of beetle juice followed by a coat of gelous and a coat of poshe.  i'm pretty sure this isn't being removed until it starts to chip.  i love beetle juice so much.

both were purchased from llarowe.

snow

love when it snows.

just shot this picture.  the sun hit the ice on the branches just right and i got stars.

open full sized to see.

indulgence water marble

this watermarble was done last night over this manicure.  i used opi ds - indulgence and fingerpaints - black expressionism. 

i really should start doing more marbles again.  i love how they turn out and my nails are finally long enough again to do them on.

blah, looks like i need to go back and clean up my thumb...

pistachio gelato

picked this up at target, they had them 2 for 8 bucks.    this is so packed with flavor...it's amazing.

the other one that i picked up was some chocolate one.  it also looks really good.

just thought i'd share this.

opi - ds indulgence

i picked this up at ulta yesterday.  ran in to get a new bottle of  topcoat and saw that they actually had these.  this was the last indulgence, there were 2 luxurious left. 

this is 2 coats of indulgence with 1 coat of poshe topcoat.  loving poshe.  it's much more shiny than seche vite and there's no shrinking like you will sometimes get with seche.

i love all of the ds polishes, but this one might be in my top 3.

you do see more of the gold colored flecks in person, my camera didn't want to pick them up.

spectraflair experiment

so apparently my sister didn't like the thought of me taking a break from uploading pictures.  so, here i am :P

i purchased some grades of spectraflair from here.  it is not the powder form, it is in a suspension base and it is extremely concentrated.   i first mixed some up in an opi topcoat since that's the clear i had sitting out. i realized that it was way too much even though i hardly used any, so i found a 2nd bottle of dumped about a quarter of the first bottle into it and that's what i have on right now.  when wearing that first mix on its own you don't see any of the colored polish underneath.

i also wanted to try with a color, so i found my old cnd oilslick and put some in.  i like it better used as a topcoat to be honest.  i didn't want to add too much into the colored polish and have it also turn pure silver,  so i just stopped and decided to go with the topcoat.

no cleanup done on the below pics.  honestly just wanted to get these online.
