#31DC2016: Rainbow
Friday, September 9, 2016

Rainbow nails threw me for a loop. I tried three different designs before landing on this. One fail got removed immediately, the second made it to finished and photographed but I didn't like it, and finally I managed to get one that I really liked. Funny story, I was struggling with my second design and had Futurama on in the background. One of the deliveries that the characters had to make was past a Rainbow Star (see photo below) and I thought to myself, oh that'd be cool but I've already started. Well guess what...that look didn't work out, so I went with the Rainbow Star look.
I used so many colors for this look, I'll list them down below.
Cirque Colors Doyers (red), Cirque Colors Orange Unnamed Sample, Cirque Colors Counterculture (yellow), OPI Jade is the New Black (green), OPI Blue Chips, OPI Do You Have This Color in Stockholm? (purple), OPI Alpine Snow (white) and Zoya Storm (black base).

Are there any Futurama fans out there? It's one of my favorite background shows, you know, the ones you've seen so much that you can have them on while concentrating on other things but you still know exactly what is happening.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#TheLacquerRing: Watermarble & #31DC2015: Inspired by a Book
Thursday, September 24, 2015

It's another double prompt day and I think you all should be impressed that I managed to combine, once again, #TheLacquerRing and #31DC2015. The prompts included "water marble" (AGAIN, You've got to be Kidding Me!) and "Inspired by a Book."
So I've had this book, The Rainbow Goblins, since I was a kid. It was one of my favorites. Years ago when I first moved out on my own I was sad to find that my original copy was literally falling apart, which tells you how many times I read this thing. Not only is it a fun story (my Hubs disagrees, he thinks it's creepy) but the art is absolutely stunning. General gist of the story is that there are goblins who lasso rainbows and drink their colors, but the flowers foil them and you get some amazing (including water marbled) art.
For this look, I attempted to create the cover with a lasso'd rainbow on two of my fingers. I tried (there was much cursing and restarting) to mimic the water marbles on a few fingers and on my thumb I attempted to paint the Red Goblin.
And there you have it. My Rainbow Goblins nail art. If you are interesting in seeing some of the art from the book, you can do so here. Besides one more #StampingSaturday, this is the end of double prompts for me. Thank goodness. I can't wait till next month when we're back to normal. Tomorrow is inspired by fashion. I guess I'll have to spend my day looking at beautiful clothes. ;-)
I used mostly OPI for this look. The colors are in ROYGBIV My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours, Where Did Suzi's Man-go?, I Just Can't Cope-acabana, Jade is the New Black, Can't Find My Czechbook, Eurso...Euro, Do you Have this Color in Stock-holm?, French Quarter for Your Thoughts (grey). I also used Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Cirque Colors Memento Mori.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

My picks from OPI Nordic Collection
Thursday, October 2, 2014

Today is going to be a picture heavy post. There were 5 polishes from the new OPI Nordic Collection that I deemed worthy of adding to my collection. Let me show you which ones I picked.
First up is Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? This color is a blue leaning purple, I've shown it to you before in this post.
Next up we have Can't Afjord Not To. This is a gorgeous orange polish that leans a tad coral. It is super bright, although I wouldn't term it a fall/winter color, I love how it goes with the other colors in the collection.
My third pick was My Dogsled is a Hybrid which if you know me, there is no reason why I wouldn't love this. Teals are my favorite polishes so loving this one is an easy choice. This is a green leaning light teal.
This is my one vampy pick from the collection, Viking in a Vinter Vonderland. This is a deep plum purple shade that is perfect for the fall/winter.
Finally we have the lone glitter in the collection, My Voice is a Little Norse. It is a total standout. Its a holographic glitter in a charcoal gray base. I'm wearing two coats here and it is almost fully opaque.
Which color is your favorite? I'm going with Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? but I love the others too!
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#TheLacquerRing: Supernatural

#TheLacquerRing is back. This time the lovely Sibohan of For the Love of Nail Art had the pleasure of September picks. You already saw the gold mani I did, for the second prompt she chose supernatural. She said to think of things like mermaids, phoenix, etc. So I went with dragons because who doesn't want dragons on their nails.
I started off with a base of OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm? (love the name) which is a beautiful blue leaning purple. I then used acrylic paints to add scales and a super cool dragon eye. Also, I'm terrible at posing with my thumb next to my fingers, please ignore awkward pose.

So what do you think? I love the dragon eye, I can't believe I freehanded that! Don't forget to check out all the other supernatural mani's that Cynthia, Amanda, Lesley, Frosso, Jessica, Siobhan, and Nicole came up with as well. You can see their looks below.

Then to spice things up, I used my Ciate Foil Kit to give my dragon scales some metallic shine. The foil applied a little thicker on the scales than I wanted but it looks awesome around the dragon eye.
Since I spiced up my mani with the Ciate Foil Kit, I thought I'd spice up yours as well. I bought an extra and I'm going to give you one too! Woo! Be sure to enter on the rafflecopter widget below!
