Feeling a little girly

I recently purchsed a few polishes from Rock Star Nails and have been super excited to play with them. All are clear polishes with various glitter and sparkles in them, so it's been super fun lpaying with the layering. After sporting a very bright and in your face look, I decided to go with something a little more subtle, and definitely more girly. I used a light pink opalescent Wet'n'Wild polich that I've had for years (probably more than a decade) and added a single layer of Punk Rock Barbie, and it turned out super fun.

I really like this combination and will definitely be using it again.

Vacation Nails!

For my trip to Portugal, which was totally faboosh btw, I wanted to have fun and pretty nails, but they needed to last as I'd have no time or supplies to give myself touch ups or a new manicure. I ended up using Gorramit from Nerd Lacquer for the base, as I already knew that it's a long lasting colour. But I wanted a little extra, because, you know, bright yellow with red glitter just isn't flashy enough. So what did I do? I grabbed one of my new polishes from Rock Star Nails and went to town.

I used With Love which is just a clear coat with black, red and white heart shaped glitter through out. I layered that stuff on and voila! Cute, long lasting nails. There wasn't any sign of wear and tear on my nails until the last day of my trip, and since I went with a lighter colour, it wasn't at all noticeable. Success!!

Nerdy Nails!

This week I'm sporting the third of the Firefly trio I ordered from Nerd Lacquer. Sadly, it seems she is no longer in business as her shop has been removed from etsy. Boo. I really love her stuff! At least I have 2 more colours after this to comfort me.

The colour of the week is "I aim to misbehave" which, I think, is a perfect colour for Captain Tightpants, although I'm not sure he'd love the glitter.

Nerdy Nails - Shiny!

I think it's safe to say that I love Nerd Lacquer nail polish. When I bought the various varnishes, I got a set of three Firefly inspired colours. You've already seen me sport "Gorramit", so this week I thought I'd try out "Shiny". It's such a lovely cool blue with silver sparkles.

These polishes are surprisingly long wearing. I thought that the sparkles in them would actually cause them to chip faster, but the last one lasted almost 2 weeks, without the first signs of wear appearing until over a week had passed. This is pretty impressive, as I usually start showing signs of wear in my manicure after a day or two, as I do a lot of typing, sewing, pinning, etc. I'm impressed!

More Nerdy Nail Polish

This week I'm sporting another of the fabulous nail polishes I got from Nerd Lacquer. This time around I opted for a Firefly inspired colour, and painted my nails with "Gorramit". I'm not usually partial to yellow, but somehow this feels fitting for the time of year, being spring and all.

I absolutely LOVE the red glitter in this one!

Nerdy Nail Polish!

OMB I'm so FREAKING HAPPY I Managed to score some nail polish in Nerd Lacquer's last update. In total, I got 6 different colours. Today, I used "I Think You Call Me...Sexy". I'M IN LOVE

I don't know if nail polish falls under the coupons of Fashion on the Ration (I should check on that). If it does, I guess it's a good thing I ordered these before I started!

I'll show off the other 5 colours as I use them :)
