Tarts n Talons

All nails are by me unless otherwise posted. My personal blog was getting flooded by my nail art so I gave my talons their own blog.

For my Memorial Day mani, I was aiming for a funky half moon with a dotted starburst. But it turned out kind of Dalek-ey. haha! Oh well.

Hey babes! It's been foreeeeever, okay more like a month, since I've done my nails. I've been so incredibly busy that I just haven't had the time. Also I've been feeling very uninspired with my nail art lately. Well, I took some time today to do something simple- to get me back onto the horse so they say.

You know you might have a nail polish addiction when you get a package in the mail but can't remember what you ordered. You say this out loud and your kid says, "It's probably nail polish!"

It wasn't. :(

I've been so busy I haven't painted my nails in ages much less photograph them. Also I'm trying out a new nail shape.

I broke 3 nails in one day! Ugh. I'm distracting myself with one of my favorite glitters.

If you really like brighter reds, I would suggest checking out Essie's Geranium. It is by far my favorite red in my collection.

Hey, thanks for the tip! Not that I don't have enough red polishes... *ahem* another bottle won't hurt, right?

[tartsntalons]

Oh yeah, they do! So awesome.

I'm anxious for Spring, so wanted to do a Spring-like mani. So I went with the watercolor technique.

This über-feminine glitter polish is I Deglaze With Wine by Vivid Lacquer. I Deglaze With Wine is a glitter topper filled with a wide range of purple, red, and garnet hex glitter. I layered one coat over OPI Vant to Bite my Neck? I bet it would look great over a number of different colors!

You can buy I Deglaze With Wine from the Vivid Lacquer Etsy Shop.

This colorful polish is Metamorphosis from Vivid Lacquer. Metamorphosis is a glitter bomb in a clear base. The variety of glitter includes holographic silver butterflies, large pink holographic hexes, and blue and brown hexes in various sizes. Don't you just love the butterflies?? This is just one coat over China Glaze Sunday Funday.

You can buy Metamorphosis from the Vivid Lacquer Etsy shop.
