The Brainiac in Fishnets & Other Konadicures

Good evening, Dear Reader!

I just thought I'd pop in to show you a few Konadicures I've done after the recent swatches I've shown to you.

The first is my favorite, The Brainiac in Fishnets. I started with Sephora by OPI's Brainiac...

...and then added the fishnet pattern from plate M57 in black and China Glaze Liquid Leather tips.

That's today's mani, and it's nice and Halloween-y.

The others I've done recently have been much more subtle, using my favotire tip pattern in silver over Revlon's Steel-her Heart...

...and another with a black floral pattern as an accent to SpaRitual's Gold Digger.

That's all I'm going to show you for now, Dear Reader! I have to save more for tomorrow. Until then, love and nail polish to you!

Yet Another Precisions Haul, Part III

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I've just swatched the last of my Precisions haul for you, the last four colors I got. I'll show them to you in order of preference, from least to greatest. I can handle that with four colors! They're all two coats over a base under artificial light.

Seal of Approval is a semi-sheer peachy shimmer. Since I'm still in the process of warming up to sheers, this is lowest on my list.

Rock Steady is a hot fuchsia red shimmer, which I like quite a bit.

Peachtini is a frosty peach, bringing a little bit of Spring into a cold October day in Chicago.

Brownie Points is my favorite, partkly because of my recent brown kick and partkly because it's such a perfect shade for Autumn.

So that's the end of my most recent Precisions haul. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do!

Until tomorrow, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

Nubar Vineyard Collection

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I haven't photographed the last of my Precisions haul for you yet, so it seemed like a good day to give you lots and lots of pics of the Nubar Vineyard Collection. This is the ultimate collection for vampy lovers!

Here they are, in random order, all two coats over a base. All eight are cremes.

Corvina is a deep purple wine shade, possibly my favorite of this collection.

Pinot is a deep reddish purple.

Barbera is a slightly fuchsia red.

Cabernet is a slightly brown vampy purple.

Dolcetto is a pure dark purple, also possibly my favorite.

Merlot is a slightly vampy red creme.

Muscato is a vampy brownish purple.

Malvasia is a dark true red.

All of these applied well, but I think dark cremes are the most difficult polishes to apply evenly, and possibly some would have benefitted from a third coat. However, the formula of these is wonderful - they apply like Nubars apply, which is very smooth and even. I got them directly from Nubar, and am happy that I did! I'm able to ring in the cold weather with some good vampy shades.

That's all for today, Dear Reader. Love and nail polish to you!
