NOTD: Tuesday!

Hi. The bad post title strikes again. Anywho, quick NOTD. Not much to say about it so I'm just going to get strait to the photo :)


I was planning on doing something with a little bit more effort but for some reason whenever I put this color on I love it so much I don't want to cover it up.

Anyway, thank you so much for reading and be sure to let me know what you think! :)

Readers Request: Silver and Gold

Hi everyone! Time for another Reader's Request! Holiday edition! Ok, so Doxieil requested something for the holiday's using the colors silver and gold. She requested this a while ago but I couldn't make anything work until I got this idea.




This is my second attempt at a moon manicure. I think it turned out ok :) I freehanded the moons so they are a bit funky, but the overall look is ok :)

Well Doxieil, I hope you like it! If any of you have requests be sure to let me know! :)

Bettina Secret + Sinful Colors Out Of This World

I don't normally use black, but I know a lot of people do, so I decided to feature it today:)










Ok, so let's start with Bettina Secret. Secret (from their Glamour collection) is a charcoal black. Although it doesn't seem very charcoal in the photos, trust me, it is. I also provided a bottle comparison between Secret and an actual black ( Wet N Wild Black Creme). You can see it's charcoal-ness in the sunlight pictures. The formula on this was great, nice and smooth. It's pretty opaque so if you are careful you can get away with one coat, but out of habit I did two. Dry time was fast, and look at how shiny it is!

Today was a lazy day and I didn't feel like stamping, so I did some layering:) I have been meaning to swatch Sinful Colors Out of This World for a while now, and I thought it would look great over black. So I killed two birds with one stone:)

Out of This World is a super sheer silver-y, shimmery polish that I believe, is meant for layering. Dry time was normal. I used one coat so that's why in the sunlight pic it's a little patchy.

Also, pictures were taken at different times of the day so that's why the lighting is different.

So, what do you think of my layer combo? :)

Hallows or Horcruxes??

  In the last book Harry had to choose whether or not he should find and kill the horcruxes, or go after the hallows. I decided to base my Harry Potter nails on this. I found that this was a very important question to ask himself. Which SHOULD he go after? Overall, I think my nails turned out ok... not great, seeing that I am awful at free hand nail art, but it could have been worse.

  I don't know about you, but I personally thought that the movie was disappointing. It was nothing like the book, and the ending made me upset. They didn't even have the whole discussion between Voldemort and Harry! And the duel between Mrs. Weasley and Bellatrix!!! In the book is was epic! In the movie it was like 20 seconds long! I am not saying that the movie was bad (it was actually pretty good), it just made me upset that it was NOTHING like the book. I also want to mention that if you haven't read the book... READ IT. It will be one of the best books you will have ever read in your life.

Moving onto the nails.....

Horcruxes 



Thumb: Salazar Slytherin's Locket
 Index: Harry's Scar
 Middle: Helga Hufflepuff's Cup
 Ring: Marvolo Gaunts Ring
 Pinky: Tom Riddle's Diary

Hallows

 Index: Resurrection Stone
 Middle: Elder Wand
 Ring: Deathly Hallows Sign
Pinky: Invisibility Cloak

As you can see... I am not the best at drawing... and I failed miserably at the deathly hallows sign (tried 6 times!) and at the cloak...I tried to make it look like a moon manicure... but... no. If your wondering why I didn't post my right hand thumb (hallows side) it's the deathly hallows sign. It was so bad though, that I didn't even want to take a photo of it, lol. Overall, I am actually quite happy at the way this turned out... my nails look kind of awesome from a distance. 

Do you love Harry Potter as much as I do? Were you sort of disappointed at the movie like me? What did you like and what didn't you like? What do you think of my nails?? I would LOVE to hear feedback. Who is your favorite character? Mine is probably Bellatrix Lestrange... Helena Bonham Carter is THE best actress in the world! Pity she didn't play a bigger part in this last movie. 

HARRY POTTER RULES!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :D

 Hey everybody :) Today I did my friends nails using the same image as the last mani I posted (You can read that one here). This, I think, is the winter version, anyway, I really liked the way it turned out. Also, sorry about the bad picture, it is too wet to take the picture outside and I have really bad lighting in my room... here is what it looks like:


Again, sorry about the bad picture. Well, thats pretty much it for today, thanks so much for stopping by :)
