Thanks to all the well wishes from all you lovelies when I expressed concern that I was getting sick! I did get sick. I spent 2 days in bed sweating, achy and a throat so infected it closed right up. I'm now on antibiotics after being taken to the ER yesterday morning by a husband who said enough was enough! Us women like to tough things out (2 natural childbirths anyone???!) but I did start to feel better after a couple of doses of good old penicillin.
This manicure was done just before I got sickly and it looked down right sickly as well. Not one of my fav's but since I have nothing else, it's getting posted.
This is 2 coats of Wet n Wild Morbid, a blackened dark green. Gorgeous color but on my nails it just looked like a murky black with no shine to it. It looked even worse after I added Yellow Konad stamping to it!
What was I thinking? It must have been all that bad bacteria in my system waiting to launch it's full attack......must have been.
very cute mani! love the colours =D
ReplyDeleteI have this color in my untrieds and I was actually really excited to have the green translate on the nail =( there goes that idea. still though, not an ugly color
ReplyDeleteI actually like the "murky black" - it's different :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I don't like this mani, but I've got a question: how do you manage to get that clean rounded edge at the base of the nail with the lacquer? Do you clean with nail polish remover and a brush? How do you do it? I'm sorry for the stupid question and my English but I really would rally like to know! Thanks and kisses from Madrid!
Thx guys!
ReplyDeleteLa Tia. From practice! If you dont have a steady hand and cant control your polish from your brush just yet, a nail polish remover pen is handy for cuticle cleanups. Or a tiny paintbrush with acetone works excellently.
I like that you featured a drugstore polish. Every one can relate. Please follow!
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing. I'm glad that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYeah... That one looked better before the stamping. lol I like that polish. Too bad it isn't available around here; I would snap it up. :)
Thank you! So practise is the clue... mmmm... I'll better look for a brush or something...
ReplyDeleteWoah so pretty <3

OMG that sounds awful, I'm glad you're better! D:
ReplyDeleteThis mani reminds me of an evil carnival sideshow, like something out the Goosebumps books I used to love ;] with crazy mirrors and creepy stalls
I do like the combo of a full nail design on the accent finger with tip designs on the rest, but I must agree that I don't love the stamping colour over the black.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are recovering from your illness.
You poor thing! How scary to be so sick. Hope your doing much better. I love this manicure. Not a good look for the Summer here but good for a Winter look.
