TV Inspired: Game Of Thrones

Hey guys,

Today's manicure is Game of Thrones. I fricken love that show! I mean really all I need to say is Khal Drogo, The Hound, and Jon Snow. 3 perfect reasons to watch, Jaime Lannister is pretty hot too, once you get past him being a huge asswipe. 

So I basically did four of the main sigils (or I tried... some are a tad abstract) Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, and Baratheon. 

For this I used

Nails Inc - Carnaby Street

Essie - Turning Heads Red

Sally Hansen - Black Out

Sephora by OPI - Frankly I Don't Give A-Dam

Layla - Golden Nugget

Art Club - Yellow

Orly Instant Artist in Jet Black, Crisp White, Fiery Red

Sons Of Anarchy Manicure

Hey guys,

So tonight marks the beginning of the Sons of Anarchy season 5. Unfortunately by a stroke of misfortune we don't get the channel that plays it. So I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow so I can find it online. It breaks my heart a little bit but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I wanted to keep this pretty simple on account of it being inspired by a show full of manly men. (I may be singing the 2 and a Half men theme in my head right now. dang it)

For this I used

Sally Hansen - Black Onyx

Layla - Magneffects Golden Nugget

Quo Instant Artist - Red

Orly Instant Artist - Crisp White

Orly Instant Artist - Jet Black

Layla - Golden Nugget

Hey ladies

This will probably be pretty short seeing as I'm a little bit emotionally unstable right now. Some of you are probably aware that tonight was the series finale of One Tree Hill. Never before have I had such a strong reaction to the ending of a series. Yeah I'm usually bummed and there are usually tears depending on the show but this show has been such a huge part of my life, I've never missed an episode, and have watched it from day one. I grew up on that show so the fact that after 9 years it's not going to be there, I totally feel like I've lost a really close friend.

Anyways that's my mopey moment. I keep getting all weepy so I'm changing the subject

Let there be nails!

This is Layla Golden Nugget.

Now apparently all the crying is giving me a headache so I'm going to bed night!

and Goodnight Tree Hill

Belle Manicure

So this past week I was talking to Chelsea about trying to find the Disney Designer Princess Polishes on eBay. For those who don't know me I am one of the biggest Disney freaks ever. So checking eBay I found the 10 piece set for about $60 not including shipping which was at least $10 so roughly $7 a bottle. Not too pricey, but considering this whole set retailed for $20 something in me said "No" so I let the polishes go. In talking to Miss Chelsea we decided why the heck couldn't I do Princess inspired nails??

So in honour of Beauty and the Beast coming out in 3D this month the first princess I decided to feature is Belle, Belle is one of my top two favourite Princesses (the other to be revealed later).

So I grabbed Orly Hook Up, One of the prettiest yellow shimmers I've ever seen.

And Color Club Take the Stage

Now the idea behind using the magnetic polish on the accent finger was to represent her iconic dress. However I wish the colour was more gold. I don't think it looks bad persay but I do think it looks out of place. I used the glitter on the tips of all the yellow nails, while using more on my thumb nail.

After taking these pictures I tried going over the magnetic polish with a thin coat of Hook Up to see if the effect would show through. Nope no go so I'm going to have to re-do my finger and I'll probably just re-do it in the yellow with glitter tips.

Overall I quite like this. Stay tuned to see which Princess is next!
