I only wish there'd been more sun for the glitter, I barely had enough to get a quick picture but oh well ... it's supposed to be nicer this weekend, so I'll have better light for my new treat. What is it? Hmmm, I'm not going to even give you guys a teaser =) But the plan is to have either pics of a vid up Saturday so stay tuned!
So, as I mentioned in my last post, I nearly duped one of my own manicures again - I wanted something bright so I started with a base of Ruby Kisses Tropical Green, then I sponged the tips with China Glaze Techno Teal:
And I loved it! & then ... I started getting that feeling ... that deja vu feeling. After some searching I found a mani I'd done way back in January 2010 with China Glaze Entourage sponged with China Glaze Watermelon Rind - you can check out the original post HERE. It was more green on green, and this one was like neon green with teal, but they are definitely very similar. I suppose the longer I blog the more often & likely this is to happen LOL!
A nice red - stamping was a little more subtle than I thought it would be, and actually turned out better on my right hand. Base color is Ruby Kisses Golden Red, stamping done with Bundle Monster image place bm202 & Misa Ghetto Fabulous:
SOOOOO not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow =( These long weekends have spoiled me LOL, but I seriously hate hate HATE my job lately. Only good thing is getting payments processed in 4 days instead of 5 should make the time fly because we'll be so busy. One can only hope. I'm already planning my retail therapy after work tomorrow - I went to Ulta to spend my reward certificate & saw several other things that I wanted so I'm going to print some more coupons from their website =)
I have quite a haul, and a lot of them are crackles =) I went to a new to me beauty supply store & found a whole bunch on nice & cheap polish, so I indulged. A few of the 2012s are from Walgreens, colors that Family Beauty Supply (Broadway & Fremont for my local readers) didn't have, but they were only $2 at the beauty supply compared to $5 at Walgreens, so I got what I could for cheap.
Here's the haul vid - my longest video so far I think, almost a half an hour somehow LOL:
Left to right: Green Apple, Turquoise, Charcoal Navy, After Dark, Metallic Noir.
Here are the Ruby Kisses polishes:
Top: Black Eutopia, Golden Red, Twinkling Mauve, Tropical Green. Bottom: Blue Pearl, Baby Blue, All Purpled Out.
And here are some closer-up pics on the nail wheel swatches - the Kleancolor is a very unique crackle (similar to Kelier if you're a fan of that now HTF brand) if you're patient enough to let it dry, so I also swatched them over white so the pattern was really visible:
And then the 2012s - some of the neons did kind of a weird thing with top coat added ... they look almost ... I don't know, diseased LOL, the orange over black in particular:
Have you picked up any of this 2012 brand? Which colors did you get & what do you think of them?
