Vault 106: Life of a Manicure, Deconstructed

lightbox
It's not uncommon for me to get bored with a mani quickly, but I'm too lazy to remove it and it still looks okay, so I just add something. Yes, I confess to polish ADD. This time it turned out alright, if a bit thick. Here's the final manicure after about 5 days. This shows the stamping, using plates BM03 and fauxnad M96. The blue is Sally Hansen Navy Baby and the white is Love My Nails White.

Sans stamping, this layer shows one coat OPI Big Hair... Big Nails. Mmm, jelly sandwich, anyone?

Here we have three coats Sinful Deep Red Ocean. Starting to look a bit thick already. But SO sparkly!

Back to the beginning, this is two coats China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy alone. It's a typical neon, so it dries matte, and I liked it that way. It's so bright! Love this one.
Whew, that's a lot of layers! Did you follow all that? Are you polish ADD, too?

  1. These are really cool! :D I have polish ADD too... well, to be honest I just get excited about doing new manicures so I usually change it up every day or so. The funny thing is I actually DO have ADD, and doing my nails is one of the things that I can actually stay concentrated on for a long time! XD

  2. Thanks! Glad to hear I'm not the only one, and I agree about being excited to try something else, almost as soon as I've slapped topcoat on. :P It's great that you've found a hobby that keeps you focused! ^_^
