Cute Frankenstein Nails of the Day!

Why hello! Since my last manicure was looking worse for wear, I decided to drown it in acetone and put cute little monsters on my phalanges! I achieved this mani by following a nail tutorial by the lovely GoldieStarling on YouTube, which I've posted below for your convienience! :)




Pure awesomeness! She also has a cute little vampire nail art tutorial that I recommend checking out as well.

Now, onto the monster nails!

Above: My 'lil Frankie mani. Here I'm holding the base color, which is Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Green With Envy.




Above: More 'lil Frankies. This reminds me of "the claw" from Liar Liar. ;D Or, sticking with Halloween themes, the claw of a werewolf! Or . . . me awkwardly trying to get mah nails in the picture.




 Above: My 'lil Frankie nails, take three.



x Orly Bonder as a base coat
x Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green With Envy
x China Glaze Ghoulish Glow on top of Green With Envy (this part isn't in the video tutorial from GoldieStarling- I just wanted my monsters to glow!)
x Art Deco striper in white
x Kiss striper in black
x LA Colors Diamond top coat

That about wraps this up! I hope you guys enjoyed my little Frankenstein nails. Thank you so much for reading, it sure does me a lot to me! Have a fabulous morning/afternoon/evening, whatever it may be! :)

I'm Not Lion by China Glaze for Fall 2012

Oh, hello there! Today I have a delightful polish to show you guys. It makes my insatiable glitter desire temporarily content, which is a stupendous feat! I'm referring, of course, to I'm Not Lion from the China Glaze Safari Collection for Fall 2012.

I went a little crazy with the pictures, as the lion statue below paired with the lion reference in the polish name made me full of warm fuzziness.

So, I believe it goes without saying that I freaking love, love, love the crap out of this. It's like a light, dirty golden color with holographic sparkles. It is amazing, like having liquid diamonds on your fingernails. So, if you'd like liquid diamonds on your fingernails (appearance-wise), I urge you to go to your local beauty supply store and see it with your own eyes. I truly think this is the best color in the Safari collection.

Let me know if you guys have gotten any of the Safari colors, and if so, tell me your favorites! If you haven't, let me know your thoughts on I'm Not Lion! I'd love to hear :)

Thanks for reading, as always!
