LISA FRANK NAILS: yup, I'm that old.

I originally saw this idea on a slideshow somewhere and have seen several different versions since then. But this is my best take on it.

  

Stripes lovingly hand-painted in (from the bottom up) Orly Charged Up and Sinful Colors Cream Pink, Savage and Innocent, topped with China Glaze Fairy Dust. Leopard spots stamped with Mash-23 in Konad black. Photobucket is being an ass about letting me rotate these pictures for some reason.

  

As long as I have tiny stub nails, I need to practice stamping. Obviously.

  

Does anyone remember the Lisa Frank picture of a dog and cat wedding? The dog has a sadistic leer, and the cat looked terrified. It was so traumatizing that there is no evidence of it on the internet anywhere. Ashleigh remembers, so it was not a crack dream of my youth.

HONEY AND CLOVER: St.Patrick's Day Observed

Here we have Maybelline Express Finish in Go Go Green, stamped with Konad special green polish using plate BM03, and a slick of Sinful Colors Green Ocean to top it off.




I picked up the Maybelline at some point last year and thought it would make a good spring color. I'm not overly likely to use green polish, but it has a gold gleam to it that struck my fancy. I will say that the 50-second-to-dry claim on the bottle is an OUTRIGHT LIE. The Sinful Colors is a blue-and-green flake in a sheer, slightly green base, and I dote on it over black.





I had THE WORST time trying to catch a decent picture of this. It was 7:30 in the morning while I was trying to prepare for a journey south, and the light would not cooperate. Also please disregard the slopped-over topcoat as Maybelline's quick-dry lie gave me rage issues after midnight.





But you get the idea. Everyone at work Monday was amused/horrified, and then I took it off.
