Happy Halloween! I hope everyone enjoyed (or is still enjoying if you're into late-night Monday celebrations) their Halloween festivities! Here's a last minute Halloween blobbicure design in some festive colors.
The base is Wet n Wild Black Creme. The orange is Julep Kirti. The purple (I swear it isn't blue) is L'Oreal Wild and Free.
Purple nails day! I always dread using purple nail polish. I love purple, don't get me wrong. I hate it solely because my camera CAN'T UNDERSTAND PURPLE! It's the most infuriating thing! I have to take four times as many photos of purple manicures than any other just to get a decent shot. Today was no exception. But I made it work. :)
In celebration of the Supreme Court of the United States' historical ruling in favor of marriage equality today, I've whipped up a fun LGBT pride mani!
I don't know exactly what it is but I am a sucker for textured nail polish. Maybe it's the visual interest. I usually spend most of the day staring at my nails when I wear them. Maybe it's the feel of them. I also spend a lot of time running my fingers over my nails. Maybe it's the versatility of them. You can wear them rough or add a topcoat for a whole new look! Regardless, I don't think I'll ever get tired of them. I picked up another one of L'Oreal's textured polishes the other day and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it first!
It's been a very emotional and stressful week for me and, apparently, that makes my nails very brittle. I kept getting tiny little chips in my nails all week. Then, I had THREE bad breaks in one day! Ugh. Well, I only had one on my left hand (the one you guys see) and it wasn't terrible. It was just enough that I had to trim all of my nails down. The other two, on my right hand were terrible. Lame!
Anywho...
Well known fact : I love polka dots. So, when the overwhelming urge to do polka dot nails came over me, I contemplated just doing them in pink and red and calling that a V-Day mani. I convinced myself that I could make a fun twist on polka dots for Valentine's Day and I think I did just that!
While I was grocery shopping the other day, I came across a display rack for L'oreal Paris Color Riche Gold Dust. Well, I'm a sucker for textured nail polish. ESPECIALLY glittery textured nail polish. And these gold dust nail polishes are so so so sparkly. I was torn between two colors and asked hubby to pick one for me. (He picks out a lot of my nail polishes for me.) He couldn't decide, either, so he told me to get both! Well, I've only tried one, so far, and I am IN LOVE!
