You've Been Nailed

so, as you can tell, i am CLEARLY obsessed with ‘shine of the times’ as i have used it on the last 3 manis that i did. i can’t stop. it’s just TOO. AWESOME. it changes appearance based on the base colour so i’ve been having so much fun ~experimenttinnngg~

today i used tape for the first time. OBVIOUSLY i used a quick dry base colour, ‘midnight affair’ from revlon. you know, i REALLY like revlon. i know they’re the lame loser friend of essie and OPI, but they have really nice colours now! they’re TRYING guys!! and the polishes are less viscous (lol, my nerd is showing) that the other ones, which i like. UNDERDOG FOR THE WIN!

p.s. my inspiration for this was Frank Stella, a famous minimialist American painter from the 60s & 70s. check it yo:

color maze, frank stella. although this painting is actually bigger than me in real life!

In keeping with the spring theme, april showers bring may flowers, so here is a rainy-day-themed manicure! although in reality, the transition from winter to spring is really horrible and filled with cold, wet, rainy, grey, depressing days in which I must still commute everywhere by bike. but then..SUN! and SUMMER! yay!

the designs are a yellow rubber rain jacket, rainy clouds, and a red umbrella

PHHEEWWW whats up guys! it’s been a while since my last post. I’m sorry I’ve been such a lazy bum, I LITERALLY only got my mojo back after diplo on Sunday morning! Diplo, btw, on Thursday, was AMAZING. omg. WHAT. A. SHOW. we got up to the front for a bit but then angie got knocked over and almost trampled, and I realized that they probably wouldn’t find our frozen bodies until the show was over, so we went to the back and danced our asses off for the rest of it. HARDCOORREEE!! igloofest - i one hundred percent endorse that shit!

so today i am uploading a photo of my friend angie’s awesome tribal print nails. these are kind of AMAZING. i dunno how she does it, i saw her nails and my eyes were popping out of my head, they’re so cool.

also you may notice that the index finger on her right finger is missing some polish. this is because regardless of how much time she spends on her nails, she has this thing where she picks at them. i kind of had to yell at her all night to NOT pick at her nails so that i could take a pic of them for the blog. TOTALLY WORTH IT MWAHAHAH!!
