Back to school!

  My manicure back on the first day of school.
  What I did was put on China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald and matte-ify it as a green chalkboard, use China Glaze Stone Cold for the grey chalkboard, and Wet n Wild French White for the white, and azure and pink nail art pens.  And I used a white on to write 2014 on my thumbs.  Everything I matte-d.


 
Happy schooling,
Em

Sinful Colors Nail Junkie (pic heavy)

  I am so so sorry I've been so lazy with posts.  With school quickly approaching and work and everything, I really dont have time!  But this one (and um every other one, lol) is for you all!!
  This first set of pictures is one coat over a black creme (Wet n Wild Black Creme):























  Two coats over a black creme:















  Sorry for the absurd amount of pictures.  It was literally that amazing.  I got several compliments per day on this manicure.  Layering = win!  OH and some of these pictures are with matte top coat
  My nails are much much longer now as you soon will see...

Happy layering,
Em

Funky Fingers Power Play and Love & Beauty Multi (Mattified)

  To start, Power Play (PP) is a neon purple in the bottle and on the nail it turns darker.  PP on me ended up looking like the color in the bottle mixed with red wine.  Its like a dark-ish purple/pink/red.  Its not nearly as neon on my nails as it is in the bottle.  See?

It looks like a berry wine here! (Thats the matte talking)
I dare you, just go onto Google Images and search "funky fingers power play" and THAT is the color.  Not this.
I am giving you a fair warning.  I love this mani even despite the tip wear after two and a half days.
Lots of "fail" pictures ahead.  I warned you...


This does not look matte.  That is the sparkles from Multi.
This is the bottle color!  Not that berry crap above this pic!

Ooohh deep wine color :) (I so want a polish that actually looks like that)
Definitely matte- eh?  I had to get my looong pinky nail in a shadow to show you that in fact this IS matte.

I might just be on a sparkle high.

Another more matte picture.

Dark.  Grrr

Why does this picture for my windowsill remind me of the beach?

Ok this is the almost-perfect picture.  This has the bottle color, the glitter, and the MATTE :)
Except on the nail is not the bottle color.  Mix this and the berry/wine color and thats what is on my nails.

  Ok for my matte I used Hard Candy's Matte-ly In Love.  It applied like a dream.  I might actually understand matte now.  Hmm...
  PP is very bright and looks much like the bottle color before I matte-ed it.  I do love this and the tip wear is due to the matte-ness of it.


Have you ever had a total win in a manicure but a total fail taking pictures of it?!

Happy matte-ing,
Em
