Fun Weekend Mani!

Yes, it's another adventure in layering with glitter and such! With a bonus yellow mani that I just love. Shall we get right to it?

Purple, Purple, Nothing Rhymes With Purple

Today seems like a great day to share a fun gradient that I did with pretty much all purples. And some glitter. I had a blast with it, and I love manis like this. Let's just get right to the pretty.

I'm Earning My Stripes

Okay, so don't ask me what I'm doing to earn them, I just remembered that phrase and used it. Hee. So, anyway, today's challenge post involved stripes, and I had a blast with it. Let's take a peek.

Ten Days Of Blue For Wackita (Days 3 and 4)

As I said yesterday, these are a series of ten days of blue to celebrate ten years of Wackita being in our lives. Today I have a dark dark blue and a more metallic frosty one for you.

A Few More Manis For You

As long as I'm posting, how about a few more pictures of manis in October?

Kicking into July.

Let's start off my July polish pictures with a bang. Haha, fireworks, bang, get it? Oh yeah, I'm feeling silly today. I guess it's because I actually got a really good night's sleep last night, and that tends to make me feel pretty frisky. So, let's take a peek at what I came up with to bring in July and Independence Day.

Teal The Next Time.

I admit it, I sometimes like to be punny. And not just the really good ones, I like the groaners too. I will fully admit that I have a wacky sense of humor. Anyway, let's look at polish some more.

More yellow swatches.

In this post, we'll look at some lighters yellows, and yellowy greens. Again, refer to the last post if you want to know my method of swatching and so on. And I'll stick with just listing the names and not boring you to tears with inane commentary.

Finally, some swatches!

I have said a couple of times that I had a BUNCH of swatch pictures, and I've finally gotten to them! This will be a few posts, since there are so many pictures. I should give you my swatching details first though.

Okay, here's how I swatch, because it's good to know the details. I start with one coat on the pinky, working my way up to four coats on the index finger. If I decide to layer over black (or something really dark), I do that on my thumb. I only do that with the really great layering polishes for the most part, and it's one coat over the dark polish. Right now, I'm using SH Night Flight, but I usually use WNW black; I'm just too lazy to go buy more. I suppose it's wrong to admit that, but I don't much care. I do not use any base coat or top coat. I don't tend to go all the way to the edges, leaving quite a large gap, because it's easier to clean up. Speaking of cleaning up, I don't bother if I slop, so it might look a bit messy. I guess that about covers the details. So let's look at them!

Light and Bright.

Sometimes I get on a kick for a certain type of polish, and will do several similar manicures in a row. Other times I'll just grab a polish at random and just go to town. I love it when I have somebody who is willing to suggest a certain color or design idea, and I can base my manicure off of that. Today I'm sharing lighter colors, which can be a problem for me, since they are often not as opaque as I'd like.

Gobs of Greeens!

Green polish used to be rather "Out There", but it's getting more mainstream now. It's getting easier to find shades of green, even in lines of polish that are normally known as being more conservative. Well, today I am sharing pictures of some of the greens I have and love.

Yellow Nail Polish

You may have noticed that I love nail polish, so I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite colors. Yellow! I can't really explain why I like it so much, other than the fact that I think it looks pretty good on my fingertips. Maybe it's because it's cheerful. Maybe it's the way it stands out so brightly. I can't explain it, but it's pretty much my favorite color, and lucky for me, it's getting more common as a polish color.
