V-Day Pedi

****Warning:Feet Ahead!******

I can't believe I'm showing you my feet. I hate them. I have a freakishly long second toe, that I can use to pick things up with (I even flicked a lighter and lit someone's cigarette with my feet once...it was a while ago haha). Showing my feet also means showing you a few of my tattoos. So, surprises all around.

I used this tutorial from Copy That, Copy Cat as a starting point for this pedi. I just discovered this blog, and am really loving it, especially the tutorials.

Also for some reason I have no idea how the hell to take pictures of my feet. 

What I used:
Color: Wet n' Wild-Red Red
Tips:Sinful Colors-Black on Black
        China Glaze-Silver Lining

My Little Secret for Covering Tip Wear..

Ok, let's face it.. I'm a lazy person. I procrastinate pretty much everything. So if I can find a way to make my already chipping mani last a few days longer, I totally will. The best way I have found to do this is, obviously turn any mani into a french!

I upped the ante on yesterday's mani with a double lightning bolt (I literally cannot say "double" anything without thinking of this), using Sinful Colors' Secret Admirer. Once again inspired by Nailside!

This was from a few weeks ago, when I killed my pinky :(

I am thoroughly addicted to this lightning bolt tape technique! I have so many ideas for it. I wish I could come up with a genius scotch tape mani idea like this! I think I'm going to make a trip to Michael's today to pick up a set of scrapbooking scissors I've been wanting for ages, and let the genius flow out of me. hah

Mr. Skull again! hah

What I Used:
Color-Hot Topic "Tidal Wave"
Tips- Wet n' Wild Silvivor

         Sinful Colors Secret Admirer Stamp- Konad Special Polish White
 T/C- Seche Vite

Skulls and Lightning Bolts, make my day! :)

Yay! 50 followers!!! *Happy Dance*
...I think I may need to do a small giveaway now! It's not going to be much, maybe a few bottles of polish but I'll try to make it good regardless. :)

On to nails..
I absolutely love Nailside's blog and her lightning bolt nails are the best! Here's a link to her awesome tutorial here, check out the rest of her blog while you're there! For my first attempt, I of course had to include the skull on m28 from my MASH plates! Lightning bolts and skulls! <3!!!!

I added two little red gems from a rhinestone wheel I got from 88 Beauty with a little top coat, for some extra bling.

I cannot for the life of me stamp the single nail design straight. 

I love these so much, I think I need to do some more skull nail art ASAP! Freehand??..hmmm.. 

I have such a love/hate relationship with Hot Topic nail polishes. I love the satin finish and the colors that they come in. I hate the horrible thick streaky formula, and how it tends to "pop off" before the end of the first day of wear (anyone have any good solutions for this?!? I am having horrible problems with my polishes "popping off" in a sheet, like I'm wearing cheap stick-on falsies). Oh and the lack of names of their polishes..but this does give me a good opportunity to come up with creative, witty polish names, and pretend I own my own polish company. ha I have dubbed this one "Tidal Wave", but I guess I would call it a light aqua-ish blue.

With the background of my beautiful bathroom. ha

Black Crack..hehe

Black and silver is one of my favorite color combinations (OK let's face it black and anything is my favorite color combo, but for arguments sake for today it's black and silver). Even though this is a really simple mani, I absolutely love it! I actually did this quite a while ago, but looking at it now makes me want to have it on my nails again, right now! hah
The base color for this is Wet n' Wild Slivivor, and this color is insane! I swear it is slightly mirror-esque. Wet n' Wild in general has seriously stepped up their game. I have recently accumulated a decent amount of their eyeshadow pallets and they are (almost) all great! Super pigmented, and with primer lasts all day with little to no creasing. For the costs of these babies it's such an amazing steal! Can you guys tell I love makeup too? hah
...But I digress, back to nails.

If I remember correctly in order to get the Black Mesh to crack like this I had to shake the bottle really well in between painting each nail. I also think I did a relatively thick coat.

What I used:
Color:Wet n'Wild Slivivor
Crack: China Glaze Black Mesh
T/C: Seche Vite
