Massive slacker.

Wow! It only took me two months to reach the blogging cliche of not posting for ages. So sorry. I did however take photos of my many manciures. This first one I'm going to show you isn't my favourite. I'm not a fan of foils. I dunno why, I feel they look cheap and boring on me. I used OPI DS Radiance. I bought this nail polish back when I was a novice and I thought it was a silver holo. Needless to say, when I got home and realised it was a shitty foil, I was devastated. Hahahaaa. And ever since I've been trying to find ways to use it . I've done the black and silver reverse french where theres a small curve of silver at the cuticles, which I love. But other than that, this polish remains un-used for so long.
This was also the first time I used my black striper. My lines look crap. Getting it perfect is so much harder than I thought!
Then I finished it of with Revlon Galaxy which I picked up for $2 on a clearance table. Galaxy is so beautiful in the bottle but on the nail it applies terribly. I should leave it open for a day to thicken up. This was 2 goopy Galaxy. TWO coats. Doesn't even look like one! So yes. This mani can be file under failure. AWWWWW!

NOTD

Hey guys, so I'm trying the whole "write up now and post on a delay". The interwebz is cool, aye? This is Zoya Yara with the accent red as China Glaze Scarlet. I have a love/hate relationship with Yara. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I feel its too dark. But at the same time I like it because it has gorgeous gold micro glitter in it. I need to get my hands on Zoya Gemma. Now that's an army green for Summer! This army green colour is really in at the moment huh? Back on point; because of this shaky relationship I wanted an accent to break it up.

I felt this was too stark, so I taped my nails up and cover my nails in Essie Matte About You. The end result.
I should've kept it shiny, Yara looks much nicer with a gloss but I'm running outta Seche and it's so damn gluggy (Gotta get me some Seche Restore!).

Here it is with the flash on.

This whole taking macro shots... I think I'm getting the hang of it now!
