Catch Up

To say life is busy is an understatement. I'm just going to be posting pictures now. I'll begin with playing catch up from where I left off. :)

I'm only going to be listing colors here now instead of base and top coats.

COLORS:

Orly Lucky Duck

Pure Ice Heart Breaker

Nfu Oh 54

Macro shots uncover a multitude of sins! Sheesh!

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Halloween!!!

This manicure is minutes from going away, haha. It was okay to wear today I think, but it'll be a little out-of-date tomorrow (and I've gotten aggravated with it and peeled some of it off in class... eek again). Oh, and these pictures are FINALLY with my REAL camera! Be excited!!! XD

So, this is with Nfu Oh GS 14. I really got annoyed with applying it. So I've decided that next time, it's going over a black base with just 1 layer of GS 14. It was seriously grainy and took 2 to 4 top coat layers to get it smooth. NOT AWESOME. But, at the same time, this polish was totally worth it! It's absolutely stunning. My pictures don't do it justice at all.

As a base, I used Sinful Colors 902 base coat (I noticed one of their polishes, Unicorn, bled a lot on my nail so I use it now when I think my nail has the chance of being tinted by a polish. It's done an awesome job!). Nfu Oh GS 14 on all nails but my ring fingers. On my ring fingers, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Crushed. I also used a few accent stickers by the company Joby (found them on Amazon).

Here are the pictures!

Camera on auto with flash. You can see a few sparkles of Nfu Oh. 

Macro setting with flash. This is probably the most realistic of how you'd see it in indoor settings. 

Macro setting without flash. In indoor light. 

Right hand - Macro setting; no flash.

Outside trying to capture shiny! 

Outside still trying to catch some holo action! Haha.

So, this was my Halloween mani that's coming off in 5... 4... 3... 

How was y'all's Halloween? Did y'all do anything crazy with your nails?

Nails Inc - The Thames and Nfu Oh 054

Hello everyone!

Well, my apologies. I've delayed posting for quite some time! But, do not fear. I have 3 different posts for tonight! Over-compensating? Yes, I am. Haha. :)

This first one I absolutely love. I caved in, as I said earlier, and got the Nails Inc Neutrals from Sephora. In this specific mani, I used "The Thames" which is a beautiful "concrete grey" (I think they call it). After getting bored with it after a couple days, I decided to see what it would look like with Nfu Oh 054 over it. Beautiful. I'll let the pictures do the talking! (Although it won't be much talking because it's from my cell phone camera... :( ...)

Here's "The Thames" all on its own. This polish went on so well!! Beautiful glossy finish too!

And here it is with Nfu Oh 054 - 1 thin layer. My cellphone didn't capture its wonderfulness!

P.S. I changed the name of my blog from New2Nails to "What the Nail?!" recently. So previous posts that have New2Nails in the photos ARE NOT stolen. They are mine; I thought "What the Nail?!" was more exciting than "New2Nails"... A girl can change her mind right?! :P

I hope to use Nfu Oh 054 again over "The Thames", and I'll use my real camera next time!!

Oh yes, before I forget... I used the Nails Inc Kensington Caviar basecoat. It was okay. Didn't really fill any ridges or anything, but it did hold up pretty well. I used 2 coats of "The Thames". Topped it off with Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat. Then later a thin layer of Nfu Oh 054 followed by another topping of Seche Vite.

I love flakies! What do y'all think?

Busy, busy!

Hey everyone....

Sorry for the not posting in a while thing going on! I've been busy, and I've been without a camera due to someone borrowing it. I'll hopefully post a real post tomorrow and include 2 manis? Maybe? Haha. I'm going on vacation to Disney soon, so I'm trying to have an awesome Disney mani to come with me!

The pictures of my last mani will be pretty rough... With my camera gone, I've been left with just the camera on my phone. My last mani was pretty if I don't say so myself! I caved and got the Nails Inc. neutral set from Sephora. Since I *thought* I was going to be interviewing for a job, I went with "The Thames" (described as a dark cement grey). It's a gorgeous color, but more about it tomorrow.

I also was reading some other nail blogs for other ideas. I read about some Nfu Oh flakies and I was doomed. I ended up getting 44 and 54. As well as Nfu Oh GS14. More later!
