Disney Mani!!

So, let me tell you, I was super excited to do a Disney mani. I LOVE Disney. From Snow White to Pirates, love, love, Love, Love, LOVE!!!

I'll get the boring stuff done with first... Nails, colors, and bases... But first, the pattern is the patchwork mani! (If y'all haven't been to the Chloe's Nails blog before, beware! Haha. Some great designs and colors going on and you'll be spending like crazy!)

So, voila! There we have it! The first picture is the Friday following the day I did the mani - I was bored in the airport. The next ones are also in the airport 4 days later!!! I didn't do ANYTHING to my nails to maintain them. There was slight tip wear, but I didn't reapply a topcoat or anything! No babying at all on vacation. Of course, I didn't do dishes or anything on vacation either. This manicure stayed awesome!... Until I bumped one of my nails on my luggage. Then I peeled it off (eek). So, there we have it!

Anyone have any other themed manis that are their favorites?? Have a good week!

My latest color, and water marbling attempt!

Hello all! The time for my new update has arrived.

This is the color I wore from last Friday, Sept 30th til today (er, yesterday) Tuesday, Oct 4th.

It's Nicole By OPI Iceburg Lotus. The first few pictures are 2 coats. I definitely suggest 3. Some of the later pictures have 3 coats. And some of my nails have evidence of my attempts at Konad also. You can ignore that, haha.

Here we go, here's Iceburg Lotus!

As you can see, it's a nice green/blue/teal. It also has some purple shimmer when you see it in the bottle. It definitely does in real life also, but it's harder to capture on camera, unfortunately.

The picture above shows what it looks like in normal indoor light... More green than blue.

This is where it gets weird... In lower light, indoors this color is a deep teal type blue. I was shocked when I noticed this. But shocked in a good way! It's beautiful!

This was inside, low light after 3 coats. And attempted Konad-ing on the ring finger.

3 coats in the daylight. Green with a little bit of blue shimmer. So pretty!!

More daylight!

For my base, I used Essie's "Fill the Gap", and as topcoat, I used Seche Vite. Every other day I used OPI Nail Envy as a topcoat.

And now, my water marbling attempts. I used different colors and brands, so I don't quite remember them all, but I shall try!!! :)

I'm staring at my hand now trying to remember what I did where. This was an experiment, so it's *very* temporary. I'll probably remove it tomorrow.

Now, I can't guarantee all those are perfectly correct, but I they are as close as possible.

Hope y'all enjoyed! There will probably be a new post soon due to me only having my left nails painted, haha. Stay tuned! :)
