This makes me happy

I snatched up Illamasqua's Jo'Mina from JC Penny's when they were doing that sale. I've wanted this one for agesssss, so I was thrilled to get it! 

Gradient done with Lippmann's Happy Birthday!

A touch of silver

These looked SO cool.

I'm so sorry!!!! But, here's a few NOTDs to make up for it!

SH Purple Gala (PLEASE CLICK. You need to see the complexities of this polish)



ChG Nova (sucky pic due to no sun today, sorry :/ )


Franken (mid toned red purple with cool shimmer)


Gradient of OPI Mad as a Hatter down Ulta Fresh Water Pearl. Pretty.

I couldn't work my computer and I've been swamped with school work. I tried out for the fall play at my school, wish me luck! The cast list gets posted tomorrow.

OMBRE

It gets darker as it moves towards my thumb.
Pinky to thumb the colors are *drum roll please*
ChG Agent Lavender
OPI Do You Lilac It?
ChG Spontaneous
A FRANKEN (it fit perfectly!)
Zoya Lael
I really like all of these together, I have no eye for color (funny that comes from a nail blogger) but these all seem to fit. This is a super easy way to have an attention getting mani, no artistic skills or fancy tools required. If you have a manicure you've done based off of one of mine, show me it! Email me at paintedtips@gmail.com. I love to hear from you! If you have a request, you should email too, I'll make sure to do it for you :)

A Nail-Arty Post

Yeah, I've been gone a while. Sorry :(! Well, here are the AMAZING nails I wore today. This is WnW Black and White. It's hand done and just stunning in person :).

And here is the polish I just painted, it's still drying actually :). This is one coat of Essie Mademoiselle (told you we're best friends), one coat of Zoya Lael on tips and then a gradient of WnW Kaleidoscope and a glittery purple WnW (label came off). I modeled this after those awesome gel nails you see, I wanted the perfect my-nails-are-too-shiny-and-glittery-and-stunning-to-be-real kind of look. I think I achived that. The gradient as actually super subtle in real life, though the nails are impossibly bling-y.
