Good Luck Midterm Mani

707

Yes, before you ask, I do think that bright red, zebra tips, and baby bows are good luck for my midterms. Don’t know why. But that was what I thought to give me luck so I did it the night before, and Voila! I had two midterms and I’m feeling pretty good about them!

I used three coats of Essie Lolipop, probably could have done with two though. I hate how it is spelled though, it really irritates me to type it that way. But I really love this polish – favourite red! I love how it applies. I think I generally love all Essie polishes. They are so smooth and nice to apply, although sometimes they do take quite a few coats to reach opacity but I think they are totally worth it.

Next step, I stamped some white tips with Konad Special Polish White, using image plate m19. Who else thinks they are really big? The tips would take up like an entire third of my nail if I used it all. I just roll it off the edge always to get a thinner tip line.

Third step, stamping with Wet N Wild black Creme using the full nail zebra image from plate m57. Again, only rolled part of the image on because obviously I didn't need the full image size. I had finally given this plate a break but it came back into my life. You just can’t break up such a happy couple I guess…

For a while it stayed like this, but then I figured I needed a little extra luck because it was my first ever midterms in my entire life! So baby bows from plate m3 were added to my ring fingers and thumbs. Then topcoat and BAM!

Or so i thought! I had to add one more thing, just to go over the top a little more. Glitter on top! Two coats of Wet N Wild Hallucinate.

Ahh, now its done. Love it!

Thoughts? Too Crazy? Or do you also have a specific colour or mani that you put on for a big occasion?

UPDATE!

Since I did this mani for the midterm but I posted it today it is a little late. Which means I got my midterm mark back already. I got a 92% on my first University midterm! This mani worked!!

Does This Make Me Look Rich?

Okay, crazy thought here, this mani makes me look so gangster! Haha I feel like one of those girls in a music video, with expensive drinks and lots of “bling” and possibly throwing money in the air. Strange huh…

This was done using Konad plate m57 (I need to take a break from this plate, my poor other ones are neglected!) and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Pleasure – does anyone get that? I would understand Glitzy Pleasure or some play on the fact that it is gold, but Gilty? I think I must be missing the reference here..

Anyways, I stamped the cheetah print tip thing (is it a tip, I don’t even know) on all fingers except the ring. I did the full cheetah pattern on that one. I used Wet N Wild in Black Creme to stamp.

It isn’t one of my best but I did feel super rich and fancy walking around with it on, funny feeling, so it stayed for a few days.

Thoughts, comments, what about what mani makes you guys feel really rich?

Zebra Konad Finally



I recently got a whole whack of Konad supplies for my birthday. 5 new plates and four mini polishes. I am happy as can be, and super impatient/excited to try them all out.

Here was the one I have been waiting so very long for, animal print plate m57! I just could not bring myself (physically and price wise) to get this plate on my own. I have been waiting for an event or occasion to ask for it for about two years now. Finally it came to me!

I had no idea where to start, but this funky little zebra print was screaming my name.




Away I went, with two coats of Sally Hansen White On, and stamped in some no name no idea where I got it sparkly silver black.

I am so happy I got this plate, I already have amazing ideas spilling out my head.

What do you do with m57? Please leave comments with links so I can see your great ideas!

P.S. I tried to be artsy with the flowers and garden in the back, you know...zebras, animals, jungle, in the wild...
