Misa Touch of Violet Fauxnad

Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend! I would do a Labor Day-themed ‘nad but then I would have no idea how to do it (haha). Apparently I’ve been in a purple/white mood lately. Here’s another one of those patterns that looked boring on the plate but stunning on the nail:

Nails Inc Charlotte Street Fauxnad

It’s been a while since I’ve worn gray so I figured that would be a nice little change. I just love Nails Inc: they apply so well! Too bad they’re a) in the UK and b) way too expensive

Barry M Mint Green Fauxnad

This is rather silly, but I waited to do this Fauxnad because this pattern is definitely one of my favorites and I wanted to make sure I thought out every combination before I posted the “perfect” one. Although I’m sure there are many more “perfect” color combinations out there

Revlon Cotton Candy Fauxnad

This fauxnad pattern definitely looks much better on the nail than it did on the plate. I was a little sketched about the honeycomb pattern but it turned out really nice with with Cotton Candy. By the way, the Revlon Cotton Candy is scented! It’s even scented through the topcoat! So cool! I kept catching myself sniffing my nails. Hahaha!

Sorry if my cuticles look a little more beat up than normal. These are nails after 4 days of camping! Thanks for looking!

Sally Hansen Garnet Lapis Layering Fauxnad

Quick housekeeping update: I slightly changed the look of the blog but I tried to keep everything close to what it was before. I tried to take a stab at my banner and I think it’s okay, but it might change again. Let me know what you think!

Another thing I love to do with my polish is layering. There are just endless possibilities! In fact, if I ever divert on this blog (which I’m still contemplating on doing), it would be layering because the colors you can accomplish is amazing. With that said, I’m going to post a very cool layering combo with a holographic polish (Color Club Revvvolution) and Sally Hansen Garnet Lapis (from the Prisms collection). It shifts from blue to purple indoors/indirect sunlight and sports major bling/holo in direct sunlight. How cool!

If you can track it down and if you love to layer your polish, try to find any of the Prisms collection from Sally Hansen. I found mine on eBay at a decent enough price a year ago. I’m not sure if they still have an inventory around in the land of the evil.

To top things off, I added a holo ‘nad with it! Talk about bling overload:

Sally Hansen Grape Going Konad

Creative Nail Design’s effects are quite awesome! I layered this with Creative Nail Design’s Crimson Sparkle and the color really sort of reminded me of Clarins 230! Sorry I covered it up with gold, but I think it adds a nice contrast to the purple:

Sally Hansen Teal Takeoff Konad

Last year, I found couple new Sally Hansen Insta-Dri shades that I thought were pretty cool. I’ve been trying to find something similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge Teal (because I’m cheap). While this might not be too close, I still really like the shade.

Sorry about the blurry picture (and the tipwear ). The weather outside sucks and this color is very pesky with flash photography! Thanks for looking!

Nubar Baby Blue Konad

Spring is officially here! It’s a bout time! So I figured I’d do something a little fun and cheerful! Plus this pattern is too cool!

I’m not sure what kind of look I was looking for with the flakies, but I guess they’re kind of cute

Thanks for looking!

Rescue Beauty Lounge Orbis Non Sufficit Konad

Here’s another so-so design from the new plates that looks kinda bleh on the plate, but not bad on the nails. Of course, the color combo doesn’t hurt either This reminds me of Star Trek. Spock would be proud (maybe).

Misa Radiant Konad

By simply looking this design on the m72 plate, I honestly wasn’t very impressed and I keep turning it down for my ‘nads. I finally decided to use it because I figured I would eventually show you guys all the designs on the plates whether I like them or not. This one was actually a very pleasant surprise! It’s way cuter on the nail than on the plate.
