So Robyn and I decided to have a nail night the other night. The plan was simple. Have a few drinks and do each others nails, but the other person had no clue what they were going to get. But long story short, Robyn gave me pretty orange, black and gold nails and I gave her burger nails.
With real sesame seeds.
What did you expect from me? Normal?
Robyn's manicure she did for me was an orange skittle design. I personally don't do many skittle because for some reason coming up with ideas for more than two nails that are different is difficult for me. I loved the orange she used. I can't think of the name right now but it's from a recent OPI collection. The black studs did bleed a bit I should add. But to my surprise the black striping tape did not! I Don't know where she bought it but it held up well!
Note from Robyn: The orange is OPI A Roll In The Hague, stamped/striped with Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold, and the glitter is Milani 531 Gold. Striping tape from Born Pretty Store.The studs are from this fun little package that I got for my birthday!
These are burger nails. I did them for Robyn. They are majestic. I used OPI's Over the Taupe, acrylic paint and sesame seeds. I had to buy a bagel bun and scrape them off. I treated the seeds like I would nail studs. Then I finished with top coat so they didn't fall off/get wet.
Note from Robyn: I just finished watching Metalocalypse and all I could think was HAMBURGER TIME.
Do you guys ever have nail nights?

Rudolph Nails! + It's George's Birthday!
I actually wasn't going to post today because I assumed George would. But it's after 10pm and I know she's working. So I doubt she'll post tonight.
Anyways you should all wish her a Happy Birthday!
Speaking of birthdays these nails are actually almost a year old. I did them last Christmas. And I just never posted them till now. I used mostly Lippmann's Razzle Dazzle, as well as Sally Hansen's Gilty Pleasures, Essie's Fishnet Stockings, OPI's Over The Taupe and Suzi Loves Cowboys. I assume I used OPI's Black Onyx for the eyes. I'm not sure what the white or the pink is.
And just an FYI the tips aren't tip wear. It's shrinkage. The Lippmann's I have NEED to be wrapped around the tips. This photo was taken not long after I did the manicure.
Find out our giveaway winner tomorrow!

WOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH: Doctor Who Nails Part 1200
Anyways I did a show this weekend. It was another one of those fan fiction shows (This one was recorded so I'll see if I can post it). It was great fun yet again. But this time for once I understood the fandom!
Anyways quick story. Some man who was in his 50's tried to hit on me. First off I should mention he was a hard 50. I don't mind 50 year olds. Most men in their 20's stink. But that's another post. He kept chasing me around and coming VERY close (The kind of close where when you move away they get closer). He finished his attempts of getting inside my TARDIS by saying "I feel like I'm at a party surrounded by Hollywood stars". I responded with "Well I wouldn't go that far". To which he said in the creepiest voice "Yet...You could be a star". Agfsiayudhkjs. And in the words of Gary Barlow "I don’t know what’s offended me more, what you said or the fag ash breath!"
That being said a couple people asked for my autograph after the show. He was not one of those people.
Anyways onto the nails. On my right hand I did galaxy nails. But they looked almost identical to the galaxy nails I did last time so I didn't bother photographing them. My left hand was my doctor hand! My thumb said Bad Wolf (as you can probably read), my pinky was two hearts (The Doctor has two hearts), My Ninth Doctor index finger and Eleventh Doctor ring finger were inspired by these minimalist Doctor Who posters. If you hadn't figured it out it's their jackets. Finally my middle finger is the Tenth Doctor wearing 3D glasses.
It's funny because my index finger was actually the hardest to do. At first the blue was too dark, and then his shirt was totally off, or I tried adjusting it so much his jacket looked almost closed. I finally got it right on the fourth try after using tape.
I LOVE this manicure. Probably one of my favourite pieces of nail art I've done.

My middle finger looks best here. You can see the glasses properly.

OPI Over The Taupe
Let's talk nudes for a second guys guys.
1) Always, always, ALWAYS lock your phone. You don't want people rummaging.
2) I wish there were more nude polish collections that also had darker skin in mind. The few nudes I have are random browns, from random collections. And most nude collections look far better on lighter skin.
Anywhoo just a simple swatch today! Over The Taupe is green... It's not, it's taupe. OPI made this easy for me. It's a taupe cream. It reminds me of coffee! I used 3 coats in the photos. The sad thing is I love this colour but have only worn it out once, yet I've done I think 5 manicures with it. Most of the time I either ended up not going out or taking it off because I changed my mind.
I added black tips(OPI Black Onyx) in an attempt to look classy with a side of badass. I'm pretty sure that was a success.
ALSO before I forget (because I keep forgetting and just remembered when I saw the first comment to this post!) Thank you Stephanie over at A Little Polish for the The Liebster Award! Everyone needs to go and check out her blog!
