The Hungry Asian Sneeze Breeze and some stripes!

Good afternoon lovelies! Today I'm gonna show you a mani I did with the other polish I ordered from The Hungry Asian and one of my biggest lemmings - Sneeze Breeze! 

I HEART this polish. It's that sort of matte glitter, similar to Floam that I just love. It has teeny black and blue hex glitter and it's super dense. I really love it. I layered it over Sinful Colors - Why Not? which I got as a birthday gift from the lovely Carolina from colores de carol. Check out her blog if you haven't already. Her nail art is amazing!

I also got OPI - I Vant to be Alone Star in the same package from Carolina. I wanted this for AGES!!!! I am a total sucker for shimmery greys and I just love this one. I did two layers of IVTBAS and then used sticky note labels to mask off sections and used Sinful Colors - Amethyst to create stripes. Finally I added some little bows from a Hello Kitty nail sticker set I got from ebay. A lot of coats of Seche later (and for sneeze breeze that was A LOT! And it was still bumpy - but it's beautiful so it doesn't matter :)) and voila.

Pictures!

Don't you hate when your camera shows up tiny polish bubbles? They freak me out 'cos they look like holes. I remember seeing a nail art tutorial for making decals that look like little rocks in a stream and one of the comments mentioned that it looked like holes and that they were freaked out by holes in the skin - those little bubbles freak me out for the same reason. Is that weird? Probably :)

What do you think??

I hope you're having a lovely day, whether it's raining and you're tucked up inside or it's blazing hot and you're out enjoying it - or something in between.

Thanks for looking.

Hello Kitty and Deborah Lippman Across the Universe With Bonus ANIMALS!

Hello lovelies! 

I did these a while ago and these pictures were taken at the zoo! Hooray! I love the zoo. It's freakin' awesome. I got Deborah Lippman - Across the Universe a while ago in a swap from a lovely lady in one of my Facebook polish groups. She doesn't have a blog though so I can't link you to her. I love how deep it is... all that beautiful hexagonal glitter swimming in that deep blue jelly base - it is just like staring into the universe... not that I would know, having not had the opportunity to stare into the Universe, but I watch a lot of Brian Cox (I LOVE YOU BRIAN COX!) so I kind of have an idea. :) The pink is Butter London - Disco Biscuit with China Glaze - Fairy Dust. I love both of these polishes. They're just amaazinnggg. I stamped the Kitty with Konad Special Stamping polish. The only problem with these jellies is I find that Seche Vite tends to make the polish pull away from the edges a little bit which is annoying. Anyone know of a good top coat to use with jellies that doesn't cause shrinkage? 

Anyway... onto the photos!!!

And now bonus pictures - ANIMALS! These are from Dartmoor Zoo, which used to be known as Sparkwell and is the subject of the film We Bought a Zoo with Matt Damon. It's pretty cool there. I don't know how accurate the film is, but I read an interview with the guy who now owns the zoo saying that contrary to the film, his kids actually really loved living in a zoo. And why wouldn't you? It's a freakin' zoo! :)
So some bonus zoo pics for you guys:

Meerkat! I love these little guys.

Tiger!

Bear!

Thanks for reading! I hope it's not too blustery where you are. We're expecting 60mph winds tonight. And I've got to go out in it! NOOO!
