NOTD: Polka Dot Bomb

I'm on a roll with these nail posts, aren't I?  I have three whole days off from work this week.  Three days in a row!  That means I have to put nail polish on.  That small mountain I have acquired over the past two years isn't just going to use itself up, after all.

I tried my hand at nail art.  I opted for a simple polka dot pattern at first but I love glitz and glamour so I threw bling in.

I grabbed Essie's Coat Azure as my main base color and Zoya's Christinna as my accent nail color.  I didn't particularly like how Christinna turned out as it was super duper sheer and not as bright as I wanted.  I used Essie's Blanc instead to dot over Coat Azure since it was a more solid white and thus made a sharper contrast against the blue.  Just for fun, I dotted Zara and Tangy over the white dots.  Both are sheer, duo chrome colors, and are also by Zoya.  They acted more as accents so even though there are a lot of details on my nails, they're not necessarily over powering each other.

I get to keep my nail polish for 3 days. Woohoo!!!!!

Anybody do anything fun with their nails lately? Please share =D

NOTD: Electrifying Big Spender

It's a miracle!  Two nail posts in a row.  Even if they are a couple weeks apart.  And I do apologize for my lack of posts lately, as I'm living a Korean drama right now and it's taking up a lot of my energy and motivation.  But I did have the day off from work today so I did my nails.

I started out with a couple coats of Essie's "Big Spender" but I really don't like the look of pinks and reds on my nails so I jazzed it up with a little bit of China Glaze's "Electrify" (from the Hunger Games Collection) as an accent.  I wanted to bling out all my nails but glitter is slightly difficult to remove so I settled for one finger on each hand.  I finished with a top coat by Seche Vite.

I did realized that I colored outside the lines....nails are definitely not my forte.

On a side note, did anybody notice the difference in picture quality?  Anyone at all?  I may or may not have acquired a new camera.....
