Daisy, daisy.

Anyone else do their nails in a cheery way to try and coax the sun out? I do~
I figured, "what's very spring?" and figured "daisies!". Apparently all things floral aren't necessarily my strong suit and maybe I'm better off sticking to cartoon characters and the like but, eh, wanted to try, at least.
This would be a gorgeous green by Zoya called 'Ivanka'. It's really a stunning colour that the photo doesn't reflect in the least. Our digital camera is currently not in the house so I asked my little sister to take a picture with her Blackberry as the mani wouldn't have lasted much longer; couldn't wait for the camera, it was starting to chip.

Going Up...

Actually had this on prior to the brown from 'Easter Chocolate' but forgot to post it, shame on me..

This is my previously posted 'Watermelon Rind' by China Glaze, layered over an emerald green Hema polish. The light in the picture has obscured the effect, but this made it a warmer green in all.
And again, trying to use some of my rhinestones of various colours. They reminded me of elevator buttons :)

Easter Chocolate.

I hope everyone had a great Easter and enjoyed delicious chocolate! In honour of chocolate, this lovely rich brown NYC polish '220 - Canal Street'. With my exams still going on, I'm still reluctant to do anything elaborate to my nails so instead I'm trying to get some more polishes in 'My Stash' swatched.

Can't wait for my exams to be over so I can rock some awesome nail art again!

 

Bonus cat.
Say hi to Mojo~

Dawn & Mint Ruffian.

I do love me some ruffian manicures~
I have so many rhinestones and little nail decorations that I rarely ever use, so I thought it was about time I throw one in. Just as a simple little detail, really.

Both Catrice polishes,
'200  From Dusk To Dawn'  and 'C05 Take It Mint' from the Cucuba LE.

My manicures currently are going to be a stream of boring, since because of my exam project I both lack the time and have to work with materials that ruin them in no time.

Daria.

Sort of feel like I'm doing the same thing twice in a row, but meh. I enjoy doing this type of nail art.
So, here we have Daria. I don't have much to say about it, really.
Herôme W.I.C. 'Dakar 107' and acrylic paints.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Polishes used:

Koh  '185 Coral'

Herôme W.I.C.  'Utreg 173'
Various acrylic paints my little sister kindly lent me, 

and the whole is finished off with a matte top coat.

Looks like I'm on a bit of a roll with the more detailed nail art I used to do. If 'two' can count as 'on a roll',  anyway. Gotta start the rolling somewhere. Err, anyway. Based on what (I think) is the most recognisable book cover for Anthony Burgess' 'A Clockwork Orange'. Another one of those designs I've been wanting to do for ages but kept putting off - check!
The rest of my hand has a bit of a erm, McNail vibe going on with the colour scheme. I toyed with doing the rest in orange for obvious reasons, but that didn't link back to the book cover, which was first and foremost my intention. I meant to show the design next to the actual book cover, but my copy is currently on loan so the badge got the spotlight!

Is this not what you expected to see?

I really, really love The Wall. I'd been meaning to do this for a while but kept putting it off (dreading the effort I expected was involved in getting the bricks properly across both hands) but I did it now!
Not really as planned, and my right hand definitely came out looking less than stellar. If I can have a superpower, I want it to be ambidexterity.
