Purple and lime green and holo OH MY!

Today I wanted to experiment layering glittery top coats.  IMHO, Pure Ice brand has some fantastic top coats that can alter the color of the base polish and for CHEAP!!  This is only a fraction of the colors I tried today, but they are the final 4 that I quit with.

From left to right:
Pure Ice Heart Breaker - final top coat over everything because you can never have too much glitter!
Pure Ice Wild Thing - should be named Ogre Pee...needs 2 coats.
Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple - dries a little slow but it's a party in a bottle!
Kleancolor Fairy Lover - very dark with dark silver shimmer...1 coat opacity!

See?!  Party!!
The purple jelly has very little color, so all you really see is the firey glitter colors.  I put it over the pee green polish as well and you'd never know there is purple jelly on top.  Thank you to my sister from another mother for giving it to me!!  ;)
Oh yea, P.S....I've polished and re-polished so many times today I didn't bother to clean up the last time.  :)  Yes I'm that lazy.

And one more.  Because I can.  :)

Yesterday I tried painting a little skull on my thumbnail.  You can see her peeking up there.  That will be a separate post.

Too Subtle Mani Redux

It was wearing so well I couldn't take it off.  So I blinged it up with Sally Hansen's Gem Crush "Big Money".

Just free handed the tips and used Pure Ice "Oh Baby" as a shimmery topcoat.  (Because Big Money is rough.)
Here's a closeup so you can see the pretty lavender bits mixed in with the light gold!

PCFC Pastel Patchwork

These spring challenges have shown me that I don't own many pastels.  But no biggie.  I had 3, and was planning some time consuming multicolor nails.  Then Sophia (the baby) said, Oh no you aren't!!  So I went with plan B......not so much patchwork...they make me think more quilt looking.  KISS.  One base color...one stamping color.

Valentiney nails

Did not think taking photos of my own nails would be harder than my polymer clay goodies. Go figure.

Ok, so I'm better at clay than painting my nails....so the clay looks better....but whatever. I'm getting better. :)

I remember in grade school there was a rhyme, "red and pink make you stink". And perhaps they do. But I think they look cute together. And I took a shower today. So there.

The red is Rimmel's Lasting Finish Pro Stiletto Red, pink is Pure Ice Jackpot, glitter is Pure Ice Don't You Wish.

Cute, cheap nails

It pains me to spend over $5 for a bottle of nail polish, because I'm a tight wad. :) I would LOVE to have a collection of holographic polishes and snazzy glitters, but not until they fall into a clearance bin. :)

Today my nails are cute, glittery mauve and on the cheap!

Pure Ice Rumors + Bon Bons 1241




I'm guessing "1241" is the color code for the Bon Bons. Or are they too cheap to have individual identification?? LOL! 1241 is what is stamped on the bottom of the tiny bottle.

Pure Ice is about $2 a bottle, and Bon Bons are .99 cents.

Almost forgot to say...this color combo was inspired by Crumpet! :)
