Rainbows on her Fingertips

Documenting my nail polish and nail art addiction.

I just think it's funny how different flash can make colors appear. Also that shine coming off my thumb and middle finger is kinda ~enchanting~. 

And I have a confession. After nearly two and a half months of not buying polish, I did just buy the new China Glaze Off Shore Collection. But after this I am going RIGHT back to saving my money. (well, I still need to buy more white polish. I use too much white for nail art) THEN I'm going right back to saving my money. 

I was just telling a coworker the other day that I'll know that I have made it when I can afford to buy all the nail polish I want, even the expensive brands & indies. sigh.

Did these in honor of my niece's 3rd birthday this weekend. She loves Hello Kitty and she just told me the other day that she wanted to paint her house blue and pink dots and stripes because those are her favorite colors.

Welp. Here's all 259 bottles.

Top left: Spring China Glaze collections Top right: Fall/Holiday China Glaze collections Bottom Left: Misc/Core Line and Summer China Glaze collections Bottom Right: Sinful Colors, Avon, Sally Hansen and other misc brands

I've put all my China Glaze into a spreadsheet and I'll work on listing my misc drawer this week. 

I think I probably need more Summer colors, but I'm on a no-buy til the new China Glaze Summer collection is available. I was THIS close to buying the Summer Neons (2012) collection on Amazon today because the bottom drawer makes me really really sad. But I didn't. SIGH.

But anyway. I'm proud of my collection AND I'm proud that I haven't bought polish since March 9th. That's ALMOST TWO MONTHS. Congratulations are in order, I believe.

Easter nails! 

I love the little bunny and I kinda wish I could have a little bunny friend on my nails all the time. His name is Oliver.

Yeah I probably need a better camera... but meh.

This is an original. And basically the first time I used solely nail art brushes on the designs. 

I was going for a blue china sort of look but… oh well. I still love sparkly blue.

Valentine's nails

First attempt at galaxy nails?

I know I haven't posted here in forever but I haven't really been doing much nail art especially nail art worth posting. But I'm really excited about this one!

This is China Glaze Tinsel Town, which was a pretty nice charcoal glitter.

The rhinestone colors photograph weird.... sorry.

This is Fade Into Hue from the China Glaze Avant Garden collection.

This is such a gorgeous and unique color and it is definitely one of my favorites. Whenever I hear its name I start singing Mazzy Star's Fade Into You. This color perfectly represents what that song sounds like, too. 

It's also my first attempt at the Caviar technique. I got the microbeads at the Dollar Tree, believe it or not! These are clear and iridescent, but came with seven other colors in teeny tiny little bottles.

I've been really behind on posting. This was a few weeks ago, but oh well. Better late than never!

These are the colors I got from the China Glaze Avant Garden collection:

White- Dandy Lyin' Around Blue/Periwinkle- Fade Into Hue Dark Pink- Life is Rosy Light Pink- Pink-ie Promise Green- Budding Romance

I really love Dandy Lyin' Around. It's such a nice, flattering white

All I want to do lately is floral, though.

I copied this from Packapunchpolish's tutorial. It was just so cute, I had to! I'm not usually a pink girl and I hate the hot pink and zebra trend... but this was just slightly different.

Playing with my new studs. 

I've spent WAY too much money on nail stuff lately. OHHH well.
