Above the Curve Diablos

This is just a swatch post, I'll Be having a few swatch posts this month because I haven't had a lot of time to do my nails.
Diablos is described as " a dark reddish brown almost mahogany holographic polish"  It is just so pretty.
For me it was a bit brownish but I'd say mine was more of a coppery bronze-y type color when not in bright light but still very pretty to me
These pics are 3 coats of Diablos in different light.

oops

Sorry
I havent dropped off the planet I have tonnes of manis I jsut havent had a chance to post them and my buffer ran out Will try to get them up by Wed next week.
Thanks for following me and Ill do my best to post without running out every few months :)

Chartreuse Tantalizes

This is 3 coats of Revelon Tantalize look at is so so pretty and sparkly

I thought this would look fantastic as a art deco style striping manicure and I like green and purple together so I put on tape and added 1 thick coat Barry M Bright Purple.

Yes too many Pics I know but I do really love how it turned out. I know all my striping tape manicures look similar but that is only because I am not a creative person :). I am working on it

Subtle Grey Flowers

This is CQ Eggplant 2 coats stamped with Color Club Beyond using a Dashica plate but I do not recall the number will try to look it up.

The Holographic effect was much better in person, but it was still quite subtle. I think it would probably be a good look for the office.

Gold and Teal

I am really happy with how this turned out the stamp is crisp and the placement is good. I do wish I had used studs instead I think the stones are a bit yellow.
This is 2 coats of OPI Ski Teal We Drop stamped with Essie Good as Gold, I do not recall the plate name (I will try to be batter about this) the stones are from ebay.

Roses and Diamonds

So I tried out the Migi Nail art pens again, I like them marginally better but I am not sure they are really any easier than a detail brush and as mentioned they take a while to dry.
I started with 2 coats of Yh beja Yellow creme and I used Migi Nail pen in Pink to make some roses and then added stones from ebay for an accent and topped with Poshe.

I found this stupid hard to do and took longer than normal to do and dry. I do wish I had used pink or yellow stones instead of the clear and I sort of wish I had used more than 1 color for the roses.  My left hand is only marginally better than my right so all in all I do not hate this entirely.

Kitty Cats and Polka Dots

This design was inspired by (copied badly?)  A post on kittybeast.tumblr.com
I started off with 2 coats Cherimoya Rated R, it is not quite as orange as it looks in the pictures it is more red than orange.  I recently was suckered into buying the Migi Nail Art pens I am still not quite sure how I feel about them. I used the Migi Nail Art pens in pink, black, and white.

The my Left hand turned out ok, but the right hand WOW what a hot mess. These pens take a bit of getting used to I'll keep working with them to see if I start liking them better. Part of the issue on the right hand is the pen wasn't shaken up well enough and when I tried to use it the pink was very liquid and because the black wasn't quite dry they mixed.  These pens take a bit of time to dry and they streak badly if you don't let them dry see right hand :(
