ABC Challenge: A

A is for...apple!  I know, isn't it so original?  All I could think of was apples, alpacas, and animal print.  I can't draw a llama and I wanted to do something new, so apples it was.

There's a Facebook group called Llama Nails, and the members of this group are currently doing an ABC challenge!  Every Wednesday we're doing nail art for the letter of the week, starting with A this week.  (This is why I'm posting twice today, since the Geo Candy Swirls tutorial was supposed to go up yesterday.)  If you'd like to join in on the challenge, just request to join the group!  Since we're posting our nail art to the group, you don't even need a blog. :)

So here are my apple nails!  Haha, I think it's bit of a fail, because I did it really quickly.  Do they look like apples?  I think they look like ripe and unripe tomatoes. x)

Base: Skin Food Fruit Drink Nail in #9 Rose Cocktail

Glitter: Milani Jewel Fx in Gold

Red: Zoya Rekha

Green apple: Sinful Colors Olympia

Leaves: China Glaze Starboard

Stem: Julep Olivia

Hope you liked my weird apple-tomato hybrid nails!  You can also check out other blogs participating in this challenge by clicking on the links below. :)

Geometric Candy Swirls Tutorial

Finally, after hours and hours of struggling with my internet, I present you the tutorial for my Geometric Candy Swirls mani.  I wanted to get this up yesterday, but my internet decided to have a meltdown.  So today, I ran over to the library and finished editing in record time.  It didn't even take me an hour!  To think I spent hours yesterday pulling my hair out. T__T  Well, let's get to it!

Preview: OPI Launches Two New Sets for Breast Cancer Awareness + Halloween

Sally Hansen for Prabal Gurung Digital Fashion Show

Just in from Sally Hansen!  See the video below to see Sally Hansen for ICB: A Collection by Prabal Gurung. :)


With fashion week in full swing, Sally Hansen is once again bringing the latest nail color trends to the most sought after fashion collections  for the ultimate style collaboration.  The brand's presence backstage --as well as online -- has  enabled Sally Hansen to  establish a legacy of setting color trends and bringing the latest innovations to the category.  This season , Sally Hansen has created an exclusive grey shade of the brand’s Complete Salon Manicure polish for  ICB, a collection for Prabal Gurung for Spring 2013, which will be featured on the Digital Fashion Show platform. The nail look was applied by  leading nail expert and Sally Hansen Nail Ambassador TracyLee .  The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure collection is not only on trend (the color is literally straight off the runway) but it is also an all-in-one formula that combines all the 5 steps of a professional salon manicure—a base coat, a strengthener, a growth treatment, rich color and a top coat—in a single multi-tasking polish.  
 

The Digital Fashion Show Platform represents an innovative new  vehicle to record and share runway shows, delivering  all information and materials—images, video, transcripts—needed to review, cover or potentially buy a runway collection. Designed specifically to  cater to editors, fashion writers and retail executives, this invite-only, password protected site services the industry in an efficient, modern new way. 

Geometric Candy Swirls ♥

Polishes used:

Nicole by OPI Kim-pletely In Love

L.A. Colors Electric Charge

Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat (white)

What do you think?  Doesn't this just remind you of cotton candy and striped candy?  I wish you could see the blue shimmer peeping out from Kim-pletely In Love.  It's the icing on the cake!

Let me know if you want a tutorial for this look! :)

Agh, my eyes x_x

Something about these pics really messes with my eyes.  It feels like my eyes are trying to focus on every single sparkling detail.  I can't wait to hit publish just so I can stop looking at them!  Haha.  I swear this layering combo did not have that effect on me in real life.  Maybe I'm just tired... (**Edit: I took down the exposure by several notches.  It should be better now, but that was weird.  This has never happened to me before, and I've seen my share of blindingly shiny nails!)

This is the Butter London Black Knight I showed you a few days ago with 2 coats of Butter London Tart with a Heart layered over it.  I got the two together as a cute dressing table duo last winter, so I thought I'd pair them together.  I kind of really like how Black Knight looks on its own though.  I don't know, what do you think?

Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend! ♥
