Vamp Tips

I felt the need to do something different and this is what happened:

I wanted to create the illusion that my nail beds formed a point. Kinda creepy... but kinda cool! They look like reversed vamp nails! Maybe I was subconsciously inspired by the recent premiere of the 3rd season of True Blood or maybe the newest movie in the Twilight series (also the 3rd...). Whatever it was, it worked! I like this.

Notice the black line. Without it, the manicure looks very unfinished.

Skin toned color- OPI "Canberra't Without You"

(topped with Essie "Matte About You" to reduce shine)

Dark Red- OPI "We'll Always Have Paris"

Black line- Stripe Rite (Black)

How do you feel about it?

I think it looks pretty good. I just wish I'd had a darker flesh tone color to match my skin better!

Challenge Suggestions!

27 comments

Good morning everyone! :)

Sorry to do this to you, but there will be no challenge this week... I'm sorry! I've got 2 reasons:

I've been having a brain fart lately and can't think of a good theme. Sounds lame but it's true! (I've been obsessing over having a black/white/gray theme but we JUST did a colored challenge so I wanted something more creative)
I'll be out of town Friday and Saturday so putting together the challenge gallery would be problematic.

The challenge will be returning next Monday though! BUT... before then, I'd like some suggestions from you! What would you like to see as a nail design theme? Any specific colors? Motifs? Materials? Give me your ideas! :) Thanks a lot guys! Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Current Nfu Oh Inventory

Nfu Oh 25 comments

I've put together some photos of my Nfu Oh polishes for you to use as a color reference. Ideally, I'd like to get these all re-swatched and photographed but who knows how long that'll take! So in the meantime, here are images of my bottles of Nfu Oh. Enjoy!

[If you were wondering... Nfu Ohs can be purchased from Fabuloustreet.com]

P.S. I've created a link to this post which can be found on my navigation bar above. It is titled "Nfu Oh". This will make for quicker access to this information in the future :) I will also be adding more bottles as I order them! Hope you find this helpful!

My Analogous Nails- Take 2

Konad Nail Art 7 comments

This is the 2nd idea I came up with for my "Analogous" challenge. I chose colors completely opposite than the first set, which was yellow and green...

Red Color- OPI "Red My Fortune Cookie"

Red-Purple Color - OPI "All That Razz-berry"

Purple Image- Konad plate M25 (in Violet Special Polish)

They are kind of boring... I don't think the stamped image is bold enough for such strong colors. I really do love this color combination though. I'm totally going to be in the Red Hat Society when I get old...
