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.

Who's your Doctor?  Mine's Nine, but I do love me some Ten.

Vert.

Love, love, LOVE this colour! 

Now I'm a big fan of colours that border on pretty-ugly and this for sure is one of them!  Orly's It's not rocket science is green/yellow glitter flakies in a mossy green base.  As you can see it also flashes a blueish green in the bottle.   I used 3 coats to get it completely opaque.   She sparkled like crazy.

For some reason when I look at this polish it always reminds me of B-movies. That's another point for this polish.

The best part of Halloween?

Candies, of course!

Well, actually not.  I don't eat most candy being that I am apparently some sort of alien.  Really just chocolate and like caramel and things of that nature.  I am learning to like gummies but I can't chew them without feeling queasy so methinks the battle will be long ad arduous so I may just stop fighting and not eat candy.

But candy is pretty awesome on nails, as evidenced by the adorable manicure that I did last week after I applied my lovely white base!  I added some Ghoulish Glow on top to make it a little more fun but forgot to take photos in the dark.  C'est la vie!

So here is a cute little candy manicure!  I used about a million polishes and I can't remember them all but off the top of my head:

Urban Outfitters Bandeau
Zoya Charla
Zoya Ivanka
Cult Nails Annalicious
OPI Fly
OPI Did It On Em
Color Club Almost Famous
Color Club Fly With Me
OPI Pompeii Purple
OPI Too Hot Pink To Hold Em
OPI Y'all Come Back Ya Hear
OPI The Show Must Go On
Revlon Royal
Orly Glitz and Glamour (which is the gold bits and also the best warm gold ever)

Green.

Wow November is already here!  Soon it will be Christmas!  How was everyone's Halloween? I drank and did Karaoke!  If that's not what you call a fun night...then chances are you were doing something else. Speaking of Halloween I actually still have a bunch of Halloween polishes that I never had time to swatch that I'll post in the next few weeks because I could care less that Halloween is over.

I am a rebel blogger.

Here is a polish I used in my Halloween manicure yesterday.  Essie's Sew Psyched is a dusty khaki green that is packed with really fine micro-shimmer that can really only be seen under direct light.  In the photos that was 3 coats.  I love this colour(although I admit it's not for everyone).  My only problem with it is I wish it would even out a bit better.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Something ugly(and kind of a fail) inspired by something cute (Zombie Nails Pt.2)

So lately I've been seeing a lot of those cute Halloween manicures (Like the one here by Elizabeth of  Did My Nails).  Now I love these cute manicures and I would probably do one if I had some more days before Halloween.  But alas Halloween is upon us.  I decided to do a little twist on these nails.  Make them ugly.  So I decided to go with the classic stitched up look.

I liked the idea a lot but it was sort of a fail.  But I only have myself to blame.  I kindda rushed through the whole thing(didn't even get a great picture...but I guess and scary, bad picture works on Halloween).  Ah well next time.  And by next time I mean when I decide to start incorporating Halloween into Christmas.

It shall be called Christoween.


(L-R) OPI's Suzie Loves Cowboys, Cult Nails Quench, Essie's Fishnet Stockings, and Sew Phyched, and acrylic paint.

Eye See Slime!

First off(and most importantly) let me say to everyone being affected by hurricane Sandy I hope you are all keeping safe!  So far where I am it has just been overly shitty weather.

Next up I did a show the other day and of course my nails were Halloween themed.  Since there's only a few days left for till Halloween I want to get all my Halloween nails out of my system!

So on my left hand I did blood shot eyes(note how they are actually bloodshot) to get that bloodshot look I sponged on Cult Nails Quench after having dipped a makeup sponge in acetone.  I don't know what but it always kind of irks me when I see blood shot eyes that are totally white. I'm picky.  Then on my right hand I just did some slime over black.  Quick and easy.

I really liked how these turned out.  Especially the eyes!

Does anyone here also do completely different manicures on each hand sometimes?





(L-R) On my left hand I used Claire's Snowball, Cult Nails Quench, and acrylic paint.  Then for the right hand I used Orly Iron Butterfly and acrylic paint.

Brrrrraaaaiiinnnsss! Zombie Nails: Pt 1

So I did these nails for a contest over at The Polished Zombie's 200 reader giveaways.  I used mainly OPI's polishes on my nails along with Cult Nails Quench and Essie's Fishnet stockings. Oh and false nails that I roughed up.  And as you can see I didn't just stop at nails.  I figured I might as well go all out (well worth the hour I had all this on for).  Win or lose that gash is pretty badass. I would write more but I'm tired.  Enjoy!

ETA now that I'm a tad less tired: There is acrylic paint under the false nails make the nails look darker(they were white to begin with).  Then on top of the nails I sponged on OPI's Onyx, Over The Taupe and Suzi Loves Cowboys.  And around my cuticles and in the broken bits of nails I have Cult nails Quench and Essie's fishnet stockings.
