Black Chrome & White Lace Plus Celebratory Mani

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I did end up changing my mani yesterday because it clashes with the clothes I had picked out. I changed it to the exact same manicure with Nubar Black Chrome as the base color and White Konad Special Nail Polish for the stamping.

Here's what it looked like.

My formal event yesterday was a court appearance for my divorce. Ugh. Big ugh!!! The good news is that I never even made it in front of the judge - the other side cracked and we settled, so IT IS OVER!!! All but the last of shuffling papers. I can't even believe it! It took me a few hours to process that it really is done, and in that time I did a celebratory mani. It looks to me like party streamers and those little bits of paper they drop on New Year's Eve when the clock tolls midnight.

The base color is Sally Hansen Insta Dri Lickety Split Lime (one of the new ones) with Pop Green Konad Princess Nail Polish for the stamp, then I sealed the Konad with Diamont and added two coats of Wet n Wild Psycho for the glitter.

If nothing else, it's overtly celebratory!

Another good thing happened yesterday, too. Alexa updated. Check the number at the bottom of the page - 496,224. We cracked 500,000, Dear Reader! I have no idea what I'm going to do. If I had the cash, I'd love to do what one reader suggested and make T-shirts, but I don't. I also don't feel like dumping The Nailphile quite yet. Basically, I feel like a dog who caught a car - chase, chase, chase, got it, now what??? I do not know.

That's all for now,. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lightening and a Konadicure

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I took some pictures over the weekend that I haven't shown to you yet, and that's what I have for you today.

I tried out Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri in Lightening, and liked it quite a bit.  It took two coats to be opaque and even, but the result was nice. 

 

 

When I was done, I thought it needed something a little more fun, so I used Konad plate S6 with Insta-Dri in Blazing blue to add a little more to it.  The Blazing Blue worked alright, but not well enough to add it to the list of polishes that work with Konad, in my opinion.

 

Definitely more festive, but as you can see, the patterns didn't tranfer perfectly, so off the list it stays.

That's what I have for you for now, Dear Reader.  Until later, love and nail polish to you!

EDIT:  I frogot to add this little bit this morning...  Scrangie's running a Misa promo,  and basically, you can get 12 Misas for $23.50 shipped, an absolute steal, and you can order fewer.  Here's a link to Scrangie's post with the details, and if you order, make sure you let Misa know you want Scrangie's offer.
