#31DC2016: Rainbow

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

#ThePolishedBookworms: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

You may remember that I'm part of a little group called The Polished Bookworms. This is a group for polish lovers to get together read a fun book, discuss, and then do a mani inspired by the book. If this sounds like something you'd like, maybe you should join us. *hint hint*
Anyways, I was inspired by the book in so many ways. There were so many quotes that stuck out. I started with a base of Zoya Storm, which is obviously the best choice for a galaxy base ever!
I then used a bunch of polishes to create a galaxy look. Light blue is Zoya Rocky, dark blue is OPI Eurso Euro, also used were Orly After Party, and Morgan Taylor If the Slipper Fits. I then stamped on stars with Uber Chic 2-03 and Sinful Colors Snow Me White, topping it all off with China Glaze Fairy Dust.
Once my galaxy was done, I decided to pay tribute to the most integral part of the book. "Don't Panic" is the first thing every time you check the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. “I like the cover," he said. "Don't Panic. It's the first helpful or intelligible thing anybody's said to me all day.” - Arthur Dent. The words were done with OPI This Gown Needs a Crown and Konad Black.
On my thumb I give you the answer to the question, the BIG question. “The Answer to the Great Question... Of Life, the Universe and Everything... Is... Forty-two,' said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.”
If you stuck it out this long, perhaps you'd like to take a peek at other ladies who did a Hitchhiker's Guide looks as well.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Zoya Storm

Sometimes I could just kick myself for being a big dummy. I've had Zoya Storm in my collection forever, but haven't used it until now. That was a bad choice based on how gorgeous it is. Storm is a black jelly base filled with silver holographic sparkles. How can you not love it?
What do you think?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
