Still More Giveaways, and Weekend Glitters!

I know all (11!!!) of you are probably tired of hearing about all the giveaways going around, so I'll be brief. These are just too neat for me to pass by. If you aren't interested, feel free to scroll down to the mani pics. :)

painted Lady Fingers is having another great giveaway! This giveaway is for four hard to find polishes (including China Glaze Crystal Ball) and full sized bottles of Skin MD, in regular and spf.

This ends on April 10th. More details can be found here.

Laura at Sawan is having a (really) huge and terribly exciting giveaway! From lacquer to files to fun accessories, this one's got it all! Check out all the goodies you could win here. This ends on the 30th of April.

This is the manicure I was going to do this weekend, but I chickened out and chose something else instead. I took pictures of this because I thought it was fun, anyway.

To prevent visible nail line, I used Sinful Mint Apple (thumb, middle, and pinky) and OPI DS Extravagance (index and ring) as a base. Then I followed with three coats of China Glaze Atlantis over Mint Apple and one coat of Island Girl Island Sunset over Extravagance. Next time I think I'll use a darker base for Atlantis to give it more depth.

This one came out a bit blurry, but I thought it was a better shot of the sparkly glitter:

Until next time!

I went to a Rite Aid for the first time last month and found a whole bunch of brands I had never seen before. How exciting! I bought Scherer Chameleon Blue Frost since it had the prettiest light blue/purple duochrome going on, with a little bit of green around the edges. Unfortunately it didn't carry over that well onto the nail, but it was still a nice blue-silver that would decide to go duochrome at odd times.

Here's a picture of the bottle first. You can kind of see the purple here.

I had been looking forward to using the feathers from the new Konad plate (m77), and I thought this would be a good color to stamp it on. Birds in the clear sky!

I used Island Girl base coat and stamped with Island Girl Pineapple Plantation on top of Scherer Chameleon Blue Frost. It didn't really look done to me and I had really been looking forward to both the stamp and the color, so I added a blue rhinestone to my thumbs and finished it off with Konad top coat. ♥ I liked the result, but unfortunately it started chipping off the next day. Oh well!
