sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead


Base Coat - Sally Hansen XTreme Nails "White On" 2 coats
Top: KleanColor Crack Nail Polish "Green Crackle" 1 coat.
Clearcoat: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails with Nylon "Nude" 2 coats

I really like this crackle, it's much more subtle than OPI. However, it's application process is slightly different. You MUST put this on on top of slightly wet nail polish, and you MUST apply a top coat while it is still wet. It needs to mix with the other wet polishes to achieve the crackle effect. It's much better with two top coats because with just one the crackle falls apart and just peels off without even trying. Hence, the tip damage to the index and pinky nails because I originally put on one top coat only.

i've heard that your settled down, that you found a girl & you're married now


Finger Paints - "Art You Blue" 2 coats

so hold me closer tiny dancer

2nd manicure of today!
I got a little lazy with my swatching tonight so I did two colours on one hand.

Thumb & Middle Finger: Wet n Wild "Bite the Bullet" 2 coats
Index & Ring Finger: Revlon Scented Collection "Beach" 3 coats
Pinky Finger: Bite the Bullet with Beach on top.


For my pinky finger, I decided to try something new and I layered the two colours, when I first thought of the idea I figured it'd look silly, but, it turns out that I really liked it! It gives it a goldish look that I really liked!
As for "Bite the Bullet", I really like it and it went on flawlessly!
However, "Beach" was less impressive to me. In natural light it's a lot more yellow than it appears in the bottle. I kinda like it though! As for the scent, when I smell it, it reminds me of sunscreen rather than the beach.

cause todaaaay is a great day, for fallin in love.. ;)

I didn't post a picture of yesterdays Canada Day manicure because it was sloppy and just all around unattractive, SO, I have a couple for today! (This post and the next)
I've been on quite a turquoise/teal kick lately! I bought several new polishes this week and a third of them were turquoise/teal!




Sally Hansen Complete Salon Makeover: Fairy Teal - 3 coats! (2 was perfect but as I took pictures after a full day of errands and such, I chipped a couple of nails and added a third coat just for the swatch.)
I LOVE this polish and colour! It's going to the top of my list!
