NOTD- Experimenting for Fall

Played around with various nail styles....please excuse the dried cuticles....it's fall/winter ;P

The Half Moon look using a black nail polish color from Castledew and Orly's Glamorous.

This other design was created with my favorite fall nail color China Glaze's Channelesque which is more of a grey-ish deep purple.

Lastly, I'm sporting China Glaze's For Audrey. I absolutely love how this color reminds me of the exact signature blue green seafoam shade of Tiffany & Co.

I decided to experiment the other day with the For Audrey color I've been currently wearing by adding freehand nail art. What do you think?

I have been so swamped with work lately, so I haven't gotten a chance to update this....hopefully things will lighten up. I just took some quick mobile pics of the nail styles I have been rocking the past week....enjoy!

In celebration of Katy Perry's newest video Last Friday Night, I had to paint my nails with OPIs Katy Perry Collection. It was my first time using the OPI Black Shatter. I had already owned the China Glaze version of it called the Crackle Collection. But I've heard the OPI ones have a better shatter. And after trying both, I must agree that the OPI Black Shatter is much better than China Glaze's Crackle Glaze Collection in Black Mesh.

Colors Used:
OPI Last Friday Night
OPI Black Shatter
Seche Vite Topcoat

My Nail Gradient Experiment

It's been rather late since my last blog...I've just been so busy with work and haven't had the time to post this. I've been meaning to post these pics of a magenta pink to purple nail gradient I did awhile back. Please excuse the dry cuticles...it's winter, so my skin gets really dry...This is the gradient image without flash

This is the experiment with flash

The nail polishes I used:
OPI Natural Nail Base Coat
Zoya Nail Lacquer in Roxy
L.A. Girl Rockstar Nail Lacquer in Groupie
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

I first started out with the base coat followed by one sheer coat of the Roxy color. Then higher up on my nails, I did another second coat of the Roxy. For the nail tips, I used the Groupie nail color and finished with the Seche Vite top coat. I liked the way it turned out, just wished my nails were longer in length when I painted them. They grew really long, but I just recently cut it again to avoid chipping. Anyway, I hope you all think of this as a successful experiment... ;P

Katy Perry & Serena Williams OPI Shattered Black Nail Polish

Something I'm totally stoked about...can't wait for this line!
(Last Featured: OPI Nail Polish in Black Shattered $9 will be available in stores in January)

Creation and all rights of this video go to OPI.

And speaking of nails....what do you all think about the new "Stiletto Nails" trend that has been sweeping the nation? To me, a slightly pointed nail tip doesn't seem to harmless. Like what Fergie is rocking below...

But to a certain degree....this would be my max length!

Wouldn't want it to be too sharp or long like claws (below). Just think about scratching an itch on your face...Ouch!

Nail Design Experiment

By no means am I a licensed manicurist....but sometimes I like to DIY my own funky nail designs and looks.  This is the nail look I'm currently rocking.  I just used NYX Nail Polish in Second Skin, NYX Nail Polish in Prismatic Gold along the tips of my nails to create a sort of gradient look, and LA Colors Style & Art 3D Nail Stickers.  What do ya'll think? :P
