Pinup Polish and Carpe Noctem Customs!

Hi! I had a few bad nail breaks so I'm going to post a few of my favorite manis from when my nails were still long.

This is my custom, Hyperspace by Pinup Polish. On my Pinky is Blue Years' Eve.

I chose the name Hyperspace because of the song Cosmic Girl by Jamiroquai. In the chorus it goes "Sends me into Hyperspace, when I see her pretty face."
If you look at the bottle you can see why I thought of that. Right Nadine? (Nadine is the creator)
I wish I had done a better job capturing the colors in this polish because it does a duochrome shift but I was trying to get the holo in the stars.

Here is the song:

Speaking of customs, Emily from Carpe Noctem Cosmetics made me my very own blogger color!

I had  a hard time thinking of a name. I just looked at it and thought of a beautiful bluish purple sky.

This color is also a duochrome (are we noticing a theme here?) Then I thought about tanzanite.. so it will be called Tanzanite Sky.
It is paired with Emily de Molly Head Over Heels.

Last but not least is another Carpe Noctem manicure I did for St Patrick's Day with polishes from her Always Greener Collection.

I used Losing Lime, Sweet Escapemint, and Insert Emerald Pun Here.

The other glitters on my middle finger are Lumina Lacquer Soleil (the gold) and the teal is F***ing sexy by Bitch by Jaclyn.

Enchanted Polishes & glitters, oh my!

Sorry I haven't posted in so long!

Life keeps happening. My grandfather was in the hospital and had to have surgery, so I was very worried about him, but fortunately he was able to come back home.

Also, my birthday was on the 9th. It was uneventful but hey, I'm 29 now.

Anyway, I have some manis to share from before I broke my nails and had to go to nubs! The worst break was my pointer finger.. and it happened trying on knee braces, believe it or not.

Without further adieu, here are some swatches!

Pointer & pinky- Enchanted Polish February 2013

Middle and ring finger- Too Fancy Lacquer- the Crown Jewel
I also did an experiment with this mani- since I have both Lumina Lacqurs Mucking Rainbows and Prismatic, I layered them over the Too Fancy color to see the difference.
Prismatic has a lot of beautiful flakies in addition to mulicolored, large circle glitters.
Mucking Rainbows is one of the polishes I am happiest to own, and I love how one of the green dots almost looks matte on my nail.

This is another mani I did with February 2014.
My middle finger nail is topped with Bellisima by Emily de Molly. Bellissima is a gorgeous, dainty glitter topper.

My ring finger has Diamond in the Rough by Lilypad Lacquer.

The beauty on my pointer,middle, and pinky fingers is Enchanted Polish- April 2014.

My middle finger is topped with Emily de Molly, LE 02.It is a lovely lavender/light purple,with hearts in it!
The ring is Colors by Llarowe- My Big Girls Panties. I wish I had holo underwear like that!

I still have some catching up to do, so you will get to see a few more pictures that I took before having to cut my nails! I miss them and it will take what feels like forever for them to grow back!

St. Patrick's Day Nails

For St. Patrick's Day, I decided to wear a few green polishes. I also wanted to make a rainbow on my ring finger nail.

I used Julep Eileen to make a white base for the rainbow colors I used. I mainly used Jade polishes for the rainbow colors, because the brushes are small and it's easier to do striping.

I used Julep Geo on the top of that nail instead of just doing gold polish. The purple tint really popped out and ended up matching the purple on the bottom.

On my other nails (from pointer to pinky:) I used Celestial Cosmetics Highgarden- which I purchased on color4nails.com. I used the same polish on my middle fingernail, but topped it with Lumina Lacquer Extraterrestrial.I thought the neon green giltters went especially well with the lighter green that Highgarden changes to when it was warmer.

I have to give my friend Cate a shout out for telling me about Highgarden. I saw it on her and it looked so great I had to get one for myself. Thank you, Cate!

On my pinky, I used Coveted by Cult Nails.I love this color! It's one of my favorite shades of dark green.. I did have to "Fish" a little to get the flakies out though.

And for a bonus pic:

They were giving out free rings at the grocery store. The clover really compliments my pinky color (Cult Nails Coveted) doesn't it?

The Snow Prince and a bonus mani!

This is the first year that I've actually gotten holiday/Christmas themed polishes!

I had a hard time picking undies for the Snow Prince by Lumina Lacquer. It has a lot of different colored glitters, as well as big snowflakes, snowmen, and hexes/snowball looking glitters.'

I love green and I ended up using Oh, Christmas Tree by Colors by Llarowe with Absinthe by Models Own on my ring finger as an accent. Absinthe is from the Velvet Goth collection, and all the polishes come with a velvet cap. The polishes are semi-textured glitters that smooth over with a topcoat.

Also, I have a bonus mani! When I was trying to decide what colors to use with The Snow Prince, I did a semi-skittles mani:
From pinky to pointer:
CbL Oh Christmas Tree, KB Shimmer Snow Flaking Way, and Liquid Sky Lacquer Teal it Like It Is

(somehow I ended up with an odd glitter arrangement that made it look like my snowman has feet)

I ended up deciding to use green undies with The Snow Prince because of the light green sparkles that showed up with flash.
