new haul and tie-die haulter top mani...

hello everyone...sorry for the multiple posts...
that was the morning lazy me...and now this is the rainy day me...
cuz its raining and shopping in the rain is no fun...

so on my outing with Ari, we bought a butt-load of nail polishes  >.<
and i got some of my shipments in too =]

a lot of polishes...
3 Deborah Lippmann, 2 China Glaze,
5 Nubar (3 of which are holo, score!!),
 3 Skin Food (Korean Skincare line, i wanted to try their base coat so i bought 2),
1 Orly, 2 CND Special FX, and a Koko Collection polish
 the inspiration for this mani was a haulter top that i saw...
mostly white with loud purple blue and red splatters all over it...
had a tie-die like feel to it...

i used mostly new polishes for this mani and CG white crackle
Skin Food Nail Vita BC, Skin Food Milk Creamy Nail in lavender,
CG Sex on the Beach, and Nubar Absolute

the base coat went on super smooth and the light pink tint helped even out the nail color...
super super glossy even with just 1 coat

i cut a small chuck of cosmetic sponge and used foil as a pallete...

the holo was a little lite and kinda needed a few extra coats...
but the combo is pretty cuz the holo made its way into all the layers of color... 

used tape to cover up sections of the nail...
to kinda give that folded fabric effect...

removed the tape while the crackle was still drying...
put on some top coat and its done =]
i think its patchy and cool like a vintage died shirt...lol

btw...
if anyone is still looking for China Glaze Anchors Away set
i'm selling mines (i accidentally ordered 2 thinking that one of them was lost in transit...)
they are completely new and heres the link on ebay

happy polishing...

  1. Oooh Nubar holo= jealous Melissa hehe. And I say buttload all the time and get asked "Exactly how much is that?" To which I reply "Depends on the size of the butt!"
