Ermahgerd, two posts in one day?! Perhaps the Mayans intended for the world to end on the 31st instead of the 21st! Ah, I kid, I kid. I just finished my nails for the day, so I wanted to share because I liked how they turned out :)
I started off with China Glaze It's a Trap-eze! from their recent Cirque du Soleil collection. I painted them a couple days ago with Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat, and they've held up quite well. To add some bang for this evening, I put Wet n Wild's Hollywood Walk of Fame from the Fergie collection on top. And then, I took pictures!

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.

Hello, darling readers! Today I have for you some swatches of a polish that has possibly been swatched a billion times, so let's make this a billion and one! I'm referring to China Glaze's Riveting, which was released from the long awaited (and controversial) Capitol Colors a few months back. Riveting is a stunning red-based orange with golden shimmer. And I love it. It's like the very essence of fire encapsulated in a lovely shade of nail polish. And since summertime here is basically like being on fire (That's right, Katniss isn't the only girl on fire nao!), I find Riveting a brilliant shade for beautiful (yet easy) summer nails.
Above: Riveting by China Glaze. Besides fire, this color also kinda reminds me of the scales of a goldfish. :)
Above: Out of focus picture of Riveting by China Glaze, cause life's not fair! ;)
The formula on this is a dream. It goes on smooth and dries fairly quickly. Also, even though the formula is a bit thin, it's opaque in two coats EASILY. I always appreciate a polish that's easy to work with!
Let me know what nail colors you guys like to wear during the summer! And as always, thanks for stopping by! It truly makes my day. :)
