Life is too short for matching nails on both hands. :P I also realized that my DSLR can do close-up pictures with my zoom lens, so expect higher quality pictures from now on, although I’m still practicing taking focused pictures with one hand, so please bear with me on that. Autumn-themed nails. Mystery shimmery brown nail base; Black Radiance Hot Steppa and Wet n Wild Fast-Dry Orange for glitter and pumpkin. Calvin Klein Splendid Color Emerald Green for the teeny bit of green on the stem.
The city at night. Freehand with my left hand—I’m right-handed, so please excuse the wobbliness and unevenness. :P The moon on the thumbnail is actually a stick-on rhinestone.
This is a week’s worth of wear with no touch-up except to line the bottoms of my nails and the very tips with a thin line of black, plus an extra layer of topcoat on my index nail.
I have decided that Sinful Colours’ “Hottie” (831) is THE most beautiful glitter polish ever. It’s tinted blue, so it won’t work as well on warm colors or pastels, but on blues and blacks, it’s perfect. The specks are thin and small and lend just the right touch. I’ve layered some over the jellyfish here. :)
Click on the image to zoom in! The transparent effect on the jellyfish is more impressive in real life (especially on the thumb); it didn’t photograph very well.
(And before anyone complains—the jelly on my thumb isn’t quite Aurelia aurita. I made a few modifications.)
