Variegated Black Leaf

Here's another manicure inspired by my large collection of forgotten art supplies. I give you the Variegated Black Leaf manicure!

Inspired by Rise of The Guardians, Again: Pitch Black and the Sandman

Here's another nerdy manicure! Once again inspired by the new Dreamworks film, Rise of the Guardians. I based this one on Pitch Black and the Sandman. I loved the effects used for these two characters. Really pretty swirling clouds of golden dreams and  blue-black nightmares.

Fun with Pearl Ex Pigments

This is a small post. I just wanted to show what is possible using Pearl Ex pigments over still wet polish.

Faking a Gold Flake Top Coat

Just a short post today. I'm moving in December so money is a little tighter than usual. As much as I would love to splurge on polish I have to resist the urge. That means I have to get creative.

Scales

This is Ares.

I recently got a new fish. He's a Double Tail Plakat Betta. He's so pretty and feisty! I decided to call him Ares. I fell in love with his colors, such real shades of copper, gold, blue and teal all with a bit of lovely iridescence. He's rather hard to photograph, sadly. His blues don't show up terribly well.

I decided to honor him with a manicure.

Grey and Gold

This is my entry into the Gorgeois' Color Combination giveaway. I knew I wanted to enter this giveaway but I had no idea what sort of unusual color combination I wanted to try. I originally thought I'd do burgundy and baby blue but I finally settled on grey and gold.
