Stuck on Me


Did you know that Barry Manilow wrote the Band-Aid jungle? Today's nails were the product of a suggestion by one of my coworkers, Erik, who noticed that I had a bandaid on one of my nails (it's my quick broken nail temporary fix until I can fix it for real), and thought it'd be a fun nail idea. So, today's nails are my interpretation of the strip of fabric with a beloved jingle, Band-Aids!!


I used Zoya Helen as a base, with Urban Outfitters Nude 3 to highlight, and Zoya Helen and Zoya Dea to shade and for the dots. (as the perforated holes in the plastic type of bandages) Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche vite top coat.

Are you stuck on band-aids?

Artform Revolutionary Range #504 Red Blue

Another multichrome today.  This one is Artform Revolutionary Range #504 Red Blue. Which like I said before is a dupe for Ozotic pro #504.  As the name suggests, this one changes from red to blue, with all the other blurply colours in between.





Look, here is another that arrived less than full.  I feel totally jipped.

The Nailasaurus is One Year Old!

It was my blog's birthday last night and I missed it. I saw that Steph @ Imperfectly Painted is having a blogaversary giveaway so I decided to have a look back and see when my first post was because I knew it must be coming up to a year and it was exactly one year to the day! I feel kinda bad that I missed it. Like I should have had a giveaway, or at the least a post, prepared but oh well. I'm planning a giveaway soon to make up for it.

I got Juicy Jules last weekend and I'm infatuated with it! It is without doubt THE sparkliest polish I own and it's just stunning in the sun. I plan on wearing it a lot in the summer.


The base colour is Urban Outfitters Matte Black and I used a sponge to apply the Juicy Jules to the tips in a gradient.
I used two coats of NYC to finish it off.


And out of focus so you can see all the amazing holographicness of the glitter...
