Here was my Saint Patrick's Day mani for 2012. Enjoy!

As you can see, I decided to go with white Konad in the final design rather than the green.

Day 9: Rainbow

Hello again! For the rainbow theme, I decided to go with gradient again (I was going to cheat and count this for day 9 and 10, but then I got butter LONDON's No More Waity, Katie, so I decided to gradient that instead).

Rainbow time!

This picture was taken in flash (sorry for blinding you with my whiteness!). I also tried to crop it more, but my software wouldn't let me! Grrrr. It is a little hard to see the red and orange differentiation, but I tried... 

You can see the red/orange difference much better here. But, the blue/purple kind of blend. 

This is probably the best picture of them all! 

Close up of my thumb! :)

There we have it: ROY. G. BIV. This manicure did remind me of school in that aspect... Learning about the colors of the rainbow using the name ROY G. BIV. Unfortunately, Indigo did not join us. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet sure did! :)

Day 2 - Orange Nails

Okay, so, I may have cheated a bit. I used this "orange" day for Thanksgiving. It's seasonal and appropriate, I thought. But, I also think I'm a bit of a cop out... I DESPISE the color orange, haha.

Here we are though...

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 It was okay to wear today I think, but it'll be a little out-of-date tomorrow (and I've gotten aggravated with it and peeled some of it off in class...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?
