30 Manis Marathon 2013

Mani 2: Orange

With flash

No flash This one was a challenge because I don't own an orange nail polish. I used zoya tinsley which is pinkish color with gold orangeish tones I layered a thin coat of loreal tweet me between 2 thin coats of the tinsley to bring out the orange color. I did try to do a red yellow swirl but it looked like a nasty mustard catchup mix. Ewwww.

Orange Mani! I found a new brand of textured glitter polish - by Julie G, they're called "Gumdrops", and they're only $4.50! This is one coat of Julie G's Sugar Rush over one coat of Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails in Crushed.

yup, you should never cut them. cutting opens up your cuticles to viruses. trust me, i learned the hard way (thanks to a salon that cut open my cuticle and made me bleed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Manicure #2: Orange

This is two variations of the same manicure. I did the top one first, and that gave me some ideas for the second one. I kinda like the second color variation better.

I love both variations but I think I favor the top one. Something about it just looks so... juicy! lol

Thanks for letting me know. I was wondering whether I might be missing something that magically does something important. I have the feeling mine behave relatively well in normal circumstances, and moisturizing my hands as needed does the job.

Such a pretty color. Do you know if most of their line looks as good with just one coat?

Do you have any suggestions for better cuticles? I have crazy growing cuticles it seems and even when I do push them back, they build up.
