Two fakes!

I feel bad for not posting here for while - it's all been rain, rain, rain... I haven't been pleased with any of the pictures of my nails :/.
In lieu of that sad occurrence, and to make up for the last couple days, here's some fakes I designed for a couple friends...

They're simple (and the bottom one is a wee bit uneven... damn shaky hands) and practical. Seeing as we're all students, I didn't think 3D nail art would last very long.
The green is from Sinful Colours (I forgot which colour though) and it's a very, very deep green. I refuse to use it on my real nails, because that sucker needs more than 3 coats to be fully opaque.
The blue is from Wet & Wild and it's around a year old, haha. It's a beautiful frosty blue that I really adore. The white stripe was done with one of the Kiss nail art bottles I have, & the holo sparkly tips are with Twilight Nox: Disco Darling. So beautiful. It's really stunning in the sun.
Anyways, I leave on a quick trip to Vegas on Tuesday - that means sun! I'll see if I can get some pictures of the nails I'll have on (not sure what I'll use yet).

Twilight Nox: Disco Darling

Today we miraculously had sun! Since I haven't changed my manicure yet, I managed to get a picture of Twilight's Nox Beauty in Disco Darling. It's a silver sparkly polish with holo glitters.
 (Click the picture to really see more holo-y goodness!)
Isn't she a stunner? It's sparkles are a whole lot more sparkly when it's really bright - but... Well, in my computer room it's not - and to be honest, I don't want to take pictures on my driveway, haha.
I should've used another coat to make it fully opaque, but it's pretty good right now. This is without topcoat (gasp!) so it's ...not rough enough to catch on pantyhose or leggings, but it's not exactly smooth.


I got mine for around $7.99 at London Drugs, but it's on sale over there for about $2.99.

Twilight Nox: Debutante

Today I have from the... Slightly ashamed to say, Twilight Nox nail polish line. This one is called Debutante. Despite my concerns of it being sheer, this baby needed only two coats! Shabam!

Debutante's colour really reminds me of white champagne. It's kind of a metallic peach, but then in other lights it can look light pink and gold! I'm really diggin' this, even when it's very pale on my hands. I also happened to do that manicure type style where you paint the ring finger a different colour? Yeah, it's great for when you have those gritty glitters like I used, but it honestly... looks weird. It keeps me interested in my nails, but it's very strange. I used Twilight Nox's Disco Darling, but no pictures. The sun didn't really come out, and to be truthful, Disco Darling looks ugly in the shade. Ugh. Maybe pictures later?

I got this polish when it was on sale at London drugs for around $2.99!
