Misc Nails 2012 - Part 1

Hello, again!  I went through some of my manis from 2012 and I thought I'd share some of them with you now. 

Ready for lots of pictures?  I'm splitting this up in to two parts because there were quite a few pictures and I didn't want to overload you all in one sitting.

Part 1

Orly Snowcone with KleanColor Blue Holo as an accent.  I waited a long time to get Snowcone and I have no idea why.  It's super pigmented and *bonus*, it doesn't stain!  A big thank you to Nailstah for the KleanColor way back in 2011.

Zoya Evvy (dark green-grey creme) and Zoya Quinn (deep berry).  The contrast of these colors was really great IRL...couldn't exactly capture it in pictures.

Zoya Bevin (mint) and Zoya Kristen (blue-based grey) with a little NYC Love Letters for some sparkle. 

Color Club Revvvolution (black holo), Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Orange Crush, black striping polish and a bit of silver holo glitter to give it some pow.  Obviously, this was a Halloween mani.  I was feeling kind of uninspired for Halloween this year.

Milani Violet Dash (purple creme) and Milani Jewel FX Lavender as a glitter gradient.  I wore this for the first annual Southwest SparkleCon 2012 as organized by Makeup Zombie.  SO much fun meeting some new sparkle friends!!

A plastic wrap mani using a pale pink (I haven't a clue what it was) and China Glaze Designer Satin.  Super easy mani with maximum bang for your buck.  I loved this one!

And last, but definitely not least, a really pretty water marble using Zoya Anja (purple) and Zoya Midori (green).  This is the first marble I'd done in a while and I was happy how it turned out.  I really like how some of the green faded in to the purple.

I don't usually post makeup pictures but I wanted to share this one.  I did this as my look for a derby bout in October.  This is Fyrinnae Velvet Vampire (red) and Raven's Prophecy (black).  This look took me FOREVER but it turned out just like I wanted it and it was so pretty with gorgeous sparkle (that I couldn't capture). 

Stay tuned for Part 2 - coming soon!

Disco Smurf

Good morning, Kitschies!  I apologize for the decreased postings as of late.  Things at the clinic have been a little more hectic and I haven't had as much down time as I usually do.  But, know that I'm still here and I love you all and I think about blogging often. 

And since I have a quick couple of minutes, I thought I'd share a recent mani with you.

In December, I got an awesome ROAK package from one of my favorite nail bloggers: Nailstah.  I was itching to try one of the beauties she gifted me and this was the first one I tried.

This is SH Xtreme Wear in Blue Me Away and Kleancolor Blue Holo.  Blue Holo looks *so* pretty in the bottle but it's super, super sheer.  I matched the blue base as close as I could and I think the match with Blue Me Away was pretty spot on.

Serious bling, ladies!  I wore this back in early January and it took me a few days before I could get some decent sun shots, hence the tip wear visible on the first pic.  I loved this mani - it reminded me of a disco Smurf.  LOL

Well, it's time to get my butt off my chair and get some stuffs done...even though my butt is sore and I'd rather just sit here.  LOL  Yay, roller derby!  I'll post as often as I can but it won't be near as consistent as it was a few weeks ago.  Yay for being busy with work.  Boo for not having as much time for my blog!
