The theme of the third installment of the Let’s Do The Time Warp Challenge (hosted by Neverland Nail Blog) is I Remember When… So many memories! Design your nails in honor of a special event in history, either well-known or personal. For this challenge I chose my wedding and used …
I’m finally taking the plunge and participating in my first ever nail art challenge, the Let’s Do The Time Warp Challenge hosted by Neverland Nail Blog. There are eight themed manicures total for the challenge (two per week), all based on a central old-fashioned/vintage/nostalgic theme (you can see all of …
This is from quite a few weeks back (see, I was still doing my nails when I wasn’t posting this summer!). This manicure is directly inspired by Sarah from Chalkboard Nails. I had just acquired the China Glaze On Safari collection (which I will talk about in a minute) when …
My last couple dozen polish acquisitions have all been from fall collections. This raises an interesting dilemma – I’m not yet ready to concede that summer is over (its NOT, damn it!) but I have all these lovely new shades I want to play with. So for the last few …

I had all sorts of troubles taking pictures of this – it was very overcast yesterday so that didn’t …

Ruffian? Framed? I don’t know anymore… Either way this is China Glaze Sunshine Pop & Bettina Aqua. I love aqua and yellow together but unfortunately (and I suppose, rather predictibly) my aqua turned green when layered on the yellow. I’m still a bit surprised though, the aqua is nice and …
I wanted to try stamping with two colours at the same time, so I did this manicure using a rose pattern from my Drikk DRK-A plate. The base is Deborah Lippman Naked, stamped with A-England Dragon and China Glaze Purple Panic. Since my stamping turned out a little less than …
