Mishmash Gradient

This was one of those manicures with no real inspiration, or plan. But rather just having lots of fun seeing how different colors turn out! I used a cosmetic sponge to apply different layers of OPI Funkey Dunkey, Revlon Ocean Breeze, and Revlon Mistletoe.

Stripey Stripes

Hello all! I feel like it's been forever since I did a blog post, but unfortunately, life got in the way and I had no time to even take a simple picture! Now that my two summer classes are over, and I'm no longer working 50 hour weeks, I finally have a chance to breathe! Well enough of that..lets get back to posting!
Recently I cut all my nails down to nothing for no particular reason. I never have long nails but I never have tiny stubs either. When I was painting my nails I thought "If I do vertical stripes my nails will totally look longer". And sure enough, they do! I used Do You Lilac It? by OPI, and a white nail art pen in white by Claire's.

Funkey Dunkey and Crackle

Today I tried out OPI's Funkey Dunkey. It was a little hard to apply, but that could also be because I chose not to use a Ridge Filler knowing that I would be using the Silver Crackle and all mistakes could be hidden. The color is a dark purple creme. It is nothing spectacular but I don't have a color like it so for me it was worth it.

To make my nails a little less dark and a little more summery I added a coat of Silver Shatter. I really like how it shattered this time leaving large bits of purple showing.

Purple and Green!

Sometimes I just can't ignore the bright funky colors in my collection. I used OPI's "Do You Lilac It?", and "Who The Shrek Are You?" for the base colors. For the dots I used China Glaze's "For Audrey" and image plate M60. I love that all colors are creme, so even though its bright and out there, its still wearable.
