Being known for having interesting nails isn't always the most convenient thing. I can't just go without polish for a few days, or gods-forbid let my nails chip, without someone asking me "Wow, are you ok?" Yes, yes, all is well. I'm just lazy. Some days, I don't feel like doing my nails...least of all with something interesting. I had an episode of the lazies recently, and decided to see how far I could go.
You may remember this Fingerpaints polish. I posted the swatches a few days ago. It's a really nice nude, and I didn't want/feel like taking it off. I decided to see if I could add to it, and still have it be wearable.
After wearing Neo Gothic Nude for a few days, I was getting bored. But I was still lazy, and my nails were still in good shape. I decided to add Amazon Amaz-off (from OPI's new Brazil collection) to it as a gradient. I actually really like the way that it turned out. It kinda looks like a half-moon manicure, but without the hard line. I wore this for another day or two before I got the itch to change it up.
My monthly trip to CVS was an eventful one, and I picked up two MegaRocks glitters for less than the price of one bottle. I decided to layer the pink and the teal glitters, since they are pretty sparse on their own.
This last step was my experiments undoing. I have a bad habit of picking at glitter, especially when it hangs over the edges or sticks up. I ended up picking a lot of the pink glitter right off...and thus I was forced to change my nails earlier than anticipated.
Overall, I made it a week and change without changing my nails. If I had chosen something other than the MegaRocks glitters, I might have been able to keep going. I can't say I recommend them at all.

I do this, but with stamping and Northern Lights.
ReplyDeleteFirst few days, just a plain mani.
Next two, a stamp.
Finally, some Northern Lights on top, since it's not so thick that ou can't see the original design
That's brilliant. I may steal that ;)
DeleteThe only color I like from the wet n wild mega rocks line is stick it to the man
ReplyDeleteI dont think I'll be grabbing any more of these. They look great in the bottle...but so much sorrow on the nail.
