Union Jack Nail Art

Just for the heck of it and it was good timing to use the Olympics as an excuse I free handed the Union Jack on my nails. I of course had a nice large glass of wine so it got a bit sloppy towards the end but who cares it is just nail art.=)

Rainbow Pride Nails

These nails were a big hit at the Seattle Pride parade. I did not actually wear these nails to the parade but I had a few friends who asked me to do their nails for pride so this is a picture of my nails the week before because I wanted to time myself so I could figure out how long they would take on my friends. It took an hour and a half on myself while doing other things between drying but with friends and drinks it took 4 hours on 3 friends. This is after a lot of vegan food and a lot more rum.....

My husband bought me OPI's Fresh Frog of Bel Air today as a surprise so I wanted test it out right away. I used two coats of OPI Sit under the Apple tree which is a light neon lime color. Then I used two coats of Fresh frog of Bel Air. At this point it was super thick so I had a hard time with the Mash plate 25 since it smudged and I had to repaint two of them before I learned my lesson and waited for it to fully dry. I then used the white Konad special polish with the Mash plate for the overall look. I topped with the Konad special polish top coat. Little messy mostly due to my rush job but still looks extra fancy. =)

I did three coats of Rimmel Rags to Riches. It was somewhat opaque so it requires three goes. After I used Kiss nail art white becsue of its really thin brush to make the lines really quickly. The Rimmel is part of the Lasting pro finish line and so far I am impressed. It is the start of gardening season and for the last 8 days it has taken the abuse of digging around in the garden without gloves. It does say up to 10 days and I  think so far that it would last the 10 days but I get bored easily and will change tonight or tomorrow before the 10 day mark.
