This week's mani

I wanted to do a mani to match my new, cheap ring. I thought gold would match, but not so much. In any case, it's a pretty nice mani.

Here's what I used:
  • Julep "Sienna" (goldish metallic)
  • Maybelline Color Show "Rich in Ruby" (red metallic)
  • Stamp plate: BM-319

Anya's Dec 22 Manicure

I did this holiday manicure last night while watching a few episodes of Community.
My guy often complains that I never do red nails. My excuse is red rarely looks good on me. Earlier this week I did green nails so it was only fair I try out red for Christmas.

My cat decided to get in on the photo ;)


This manicure uses:
  • ORLY "Grave Mistake" (a flat red color)
  • China Glaze "Ruby Pumps" (a deeper red with red glitter)
  • Essie "No Place Like Chrome" (silver stamped)
  • Julep Freedom Polymer Topcoat
  • Bundle Monster BM-205 for the filigree details on the tips
  • Bundle Monster BM-225 for the ball ornament on my thumb (shown below)

This Week's Manicure

I (Anya) have been super busy between the promotion I didn't want at my day job and the books I'm editing at night. My nails suffered. Thankfully I turned in edits on Sunday night and have had a little bit of time to catch up.

Here's the manicure I did last night:


This one uses:
Base Polish: Maybelline Color Show "Go Go Green" 340
Stamp Polish: ORLY - "Liquid Vinyl" 40484
Bundle Monster Image Plate BM-212

I'm pleased with the Maybelline polish. It was cheap (under $4) and coats well. I've yet to stamp with it. Check back for news about that.

Lace-like Nails

Melissa Tweeted me a picture of someone's lace-like manicure with French tipped nails last week. I'd never actually tried a normal French Manicure mostly because I have prominent tips as it is, though not bright white like these. So I decided to try it. 

My first attempt was done with China Glaze White on White for both the tips and the stamp (BM-201).

The second one used the China Glaze for the tips and Konad stamping polish in White for the stamp (Mash-40). 

Clearly the Konad is a brighter white in one coat.

I used guides for the tips on all of these (Nailene Perfect Tips) and set the guides beneath my actual white tips (hence why they're uneven).

I need a bit more practice on this and probably better designs but the effect is nice!




Mani for Monday

Tomorrow is a big day at the day job. I do my first interview as a director. I'm nervous.

I picked out my outfit and did a manicure to match.

Sort of. Skip to it.

Here's the fabric of my tunic shirt:


Nice right?

Here's the manicure I came up with:



This uses: 
  • Bundle Monster plate BM-215
  • Sally Hansen Salon 4131-01 Sterling
  • Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro 282 Hard Metal
  • Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
As you can see the Bundle Monster plates are pretty good. I don't like them as much as the Mash plates in terms of details and design but they're better than the cheeky plates I bought.

My Sally Hansen Sterling is getting near the end of the bottle but it still looks awesomely chrome-like. However it chips like crazy (I've already chipped it more since I took the photo ten minutes ago) and that Seche Vite doesn't do anything to stop it. I really need a better fast dry top coat that won't cost me an arm and a leg then crap out halfway through the bottle (I'm looking at YOU Essie).
