Sometimes I get these crazy ideas and then things happen way to late at night. I've got 3 major things happening on 3 of the post dates for the Untried Polish Challenge. So I was all "I'm going to be productive and get a few posts done early." I did that and then suddenly, it was 11:00pm and I had nothing to post for today. AUGH!! And I had used up all my inspiration. So I was just going to paint my nails a plain color and call it. Just a swatch day. But then I remembered this video and I was all "how hard can it be?"
MISTAKE!!! It really isn't that hard, just time consuming. Luckily, I finished it up and got these pretty pictures for you before passing out.
Unlike in the video, I chose to do roses just on my ring and thumb as accents. This was my first time doing the roses, and I like the colors, but I should have picked colors that contrast more. They're hard to see in the photos, but the detailing looks nice in real life.
Color break down is as follows. I think this design takes the most polishes used award, so far.
Base - OPI Glints of GlindaTips - OPI Glitzerland
Leopard Spots - China Glaze Kalahari Kiss (light) & China Glaze Mahogany Magic (dark)
Leaves - China Glaze Gaga for Green & Maybelline Color Show Tenacious Teal
Roses - Butter London Snog (Pink) & Butter London Pillar Box Red
What do you think of this design? To much or just right?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
Anti-Pinch Manicure: Color Blocking

Saint Paddy's day is coming up. In an effort to not get pinched this year, I've done my nails for the holiday. Because lets face it, I hate getting pinched. Doesn't everyone? Getting pinched SUCKS! Therefore it was necessary to make this happen.
I decided to go with some color blocking for this manicure. I busted out the ol' striping tape and got to painstaking work. This mani took some time to finish, but I absolutely love it.
These nails took 5 different polishes. I had a few more greens to choose from, but I went with 2 cremes and 2 glitters. Plus the gold base.
The first picture was of my left hand and the second of my right. I like doing manicures where both hands are the same. How I wish I was ambidextrous. Think of how cool I could make things if I was.
From left to right, polishes used are China Glaze Gaga for Green, AEngland Dragon, OPI Glitzerland, Maybelline Color Show Tenacious Teal, and China Glaze Running in Circles. I also used Orly Rubberized Base Coat and Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat.
The photo above, really captures some of AEngland Dragon's holographic goodness. I wish I could have got a better shot of that pretty for you.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
P.S. Will you be doing an Anti-Pinch St. Paddy's Mani? I'd love to see it.
