KOTD: Ginger Tone-On-Tone

Hi everyone! I have recently fallen in love with the idea of tone-on-tone manicures, because they look so cool! So be prepared to see more of these in the future lol. Today I will start off with one that originally went well, but I got lumps and bedsheet marks thus the not-so-perfect finish. It turned out very cool though, it seems very 70's to me! I used OPI Ginger Bells, Sinful Colors Bronze, and the m60 plate. Have any of you ever tried tone-on-tone manicures before? I like them because they are subtle flashes of the pattern in the light.

In light of this semi-fail, I will be posting a swatch of one of the polishes I hauled, so stay tuned for that! :D

KOTD: Nice Barbie

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you a very mini-series (there will only be one other post in this mini-series lol) on Barbie! I decided to put my Barbie pinks and Konad kit to good use, and today you get "Nice Barbie"! Oh, and I apologize for the indoor picture!

When I think of Nice Barbie, I think of the super preppy Barbie. Like the Barbie who rides around in the Mercedes around LA who goes to prepartory school, plays tennis and has a big screen TV. That Barbie! I thought that I light Barbie pink and some argyle was in order. I used Essie Castaway as the base color, OPI Alpine Snow as the stamping color, and the m60 plate for the pattern. What is your interpretation of "nice Barbie"?

KOTD: Gold on Gold

Hi everyone! I have been wanting to try a tone-on-tone mani for awhile now, and I have finally done one! I know that it is hard to see; I'm sorry! I had to take it inside as the weather has been very dim and dreary.

I used Wet n' Wild Shield as the base color and China Glaze Twenty-Four K as the stamping color using the m60 plate. It looked really cool in real life but I couldn't get a decent picture.

In more exciting news, I am going home today! Hooray! I can't wait to fly back for a nice long three week break! :)

KOTD: Metallic Argyle

Hello everyone! Today's post is a poorly done Konad, sorry. I did this and didn't bother to even clean it up before I took a picture because I took it off right after the picture was taken. This was my first time working with the argyle pattern on the m60 plate. The pattern is slightly crooked, but I love the idea. I love how metallics look when Konaded, they are so crisp! I also love mixing up the textures.

I used OPI You Don't Know Jacques as a base color and China Glaze Metallic Muse as the stamping color. Although not my best work, I think that this does look ok at least.

In more exciting news, I am going to a piercing studio with two of my best friends to get piercings this afternoon! I am getting my navel pierced, one friend of mine is getting two dermal anchors in her side, and the other friend is getting her ears pierced for the first time! I am so excited!

Again, I want to apologize for all of the hassle this whole "changing the url" thing has become. It is so hard to let everyone know about the change, and it is such a pain considering that it is supposed to update automatically. Thank you all who have gone through the trouble of changing the url and updating the blogrolls, I really appreciate it! Any additional help in letting others know would be fantastic too; as I have no way of reaching followers who do not have blogs that I can comment on. Happy Monday everyone!
