Petites and a Unicorn!

Hey everyone! I've been VERY busy lately so sorry I haven't been updating often. I'm interning in a lab and taking a pretty demanding neurobiology course, so I don't have much free time! I've decided that I'm not going to be writing much in descriptions for the next couple of weeks - most of you don't always read them anyways I'm sure :)

One thing I would like to say though - I added a new page called wishlist to the top of my blog under my header (the thing that says LavenderParfait). It's really for myself to keep track of my wanted polishes, but if you guys have any of them and would like to sell them to me or trade something for them PLEASE let me know! I would be ever grateful :)

Okay, now that I have all the talking out of the way, here's Petites Lime Freeze. My friend gave this to me for Christmas and my dad picked it as my mani :p

It's very sheer - this was three coats. I thought I wouldn't like it but it grew on me! It's not as frosty as it looks in the bottle.

Then, because today was unicorn themed on MakeupAlley nail board, I added a unicorn. This is freehanded! Lots of pictures, so please take a look after the jump :)

Chalk Manicure

Hey guys! I got this idea a couple weeks ago. I think it's super, super cool. First I started out with a matte black. I used Sephora by OPI What's a Tire, Jack? and even though it was matte I added Essie Matte About You on top, which is a mattifying top coat.

Then, I got crazy and started drawing on it with chalk. I think this is so cool!

The best part is you can wipe it off and draw on it all over again! :)

Hope you enjoyed!

Essie Demure Vixen w/Konad

Hey guys! I thought I took pictures of Essie Demure Vixen alone, but I guess I didn't - whoops! Sorry about that. I could only find pictures of it with the Konad I did afterwards on top. I used the M71 plate for this and Special Konad Polish in Black.

Rimmel Steel Grey and Konad!

Hey guys! I just hauled most of the polishes I was lemming yesterday that I could find. I now have probably like 50 untrieds... whoops! One of the polishes I bought was Rimmel Steel Grey. I'll swatch the rest later. I forgot how much I like greiges!

Then I added holographic leopard spots with my Konad M57 plate and China Glaze OMG. I usually don't like leopard spots because I think they look tacky, but I love this combination. It's subtle which I like!

Update: here are some pictures where you can see the holo more clearly!

What a Starry Night - Nail Art

Hey guys! This is nail art I did about a month ago. I've always liked doodling stars and I decided to make a mani out of it. I didn't take process pictures, but here's what I did: I started off with Gelous as a base coat, then added one coat of Sally Hansen Midnight in NY. While it was wet I sprinkled black Martha Stewart glitter on the tips and purple close to my cuticle and made a gradient. Then with a frankened yellow-orange, I drew some stars with a dotting tool. I then added the moon with a white creme, and dotted Essie Marshmallow over the stars and moon to make them look like they were "glowing". I hope you like it!
