Easter Egg Mani

Things have been slow as far as nails go. I am giving my nails a break, because under all this polish they are getting weak and ugly. But maybe by the end of this week, I'll be ready to create again. How do y'all keep your nails in a polish mood?

Anyway,

Here is a mani I did for the last week, an easter egg mani. I used CG Light as Air, Essie MCA, and Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow. With the other two colors nearby, the Light as Air came out really lavender, which was nice, and the mellow yellow was not as soft as I wanted, but it definitely reminded my of Easter eggs.

At the end of the rainbow.

I decided to do an unconventional St. Pat's Day Mani, because I knew I would be decked out in my green anyway, and thought I would play with the rainbow.

For the colors I used:
Red- an unnamed Red I got for Xmas, that I really like
Orange- OPI on the same paige,
Yellow- SH Extreme Wear, Mellow Yellow
Green Zoya Midori
Blue- China Glze Shower Together.

I am really proud about the way it came out, though I would love  better quality of this shade of red-- any suggestions?

Vintage Wallet Series Part 1

My favorite accessory I own is this vintage style clip wallet, so I decided to see if I could pull as many similar and complimentary colors from it and match what polishes I have.

First up is Zoya Irene. It's a beautiful gold-toned green, It applies very clean, which is necessary for me, and I think it matches nicely.

In other news, life is both busy and happy. I am thoroughly enjoying the new job, and I get lots of feedback, which was sorely missed before.

Also, this week I adopted two rescue rats, who had a very sad story before they came into my home. You can read their story and see pictures here.

Up and Away, but not quite Irish

As Irish as I am, I was more than thrilled to get Four Leaf Clover from the China Glaze Up and Away collection.
And it was a beautiful color, just not quite Irish.

I ruined this batch of photos btw, but thought it still deserved posting.

But perfect for Spring!
