What Does The Fox (Holo Skittle) Say?

 Hello, Fireflies!

This is the last NCC skittle challenge this month! This isn't a nail art I gravitate to, so it was fun to think of different ways to wear it.  Challenges definitely help keep me from doing the same old, same old..

So, this skittle was inspired by the colors in the nail decoration I decided to use for this look: pink and blue.

The pink (an awesome freebie sent with an order I placed) is Nail Nation 3000 Inner Flame, a hot pink holo.  The blue is Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Tea Is Soothing, I Wish To Be Tense, a light blue holo from her Buffy The Vampire Slayer-inspired collection. The glitter is Funfetti from (apparently defunct) Makeup Your Face.

And, my inspiration, a little fox nail decoration, with pink and blue stones in the tail! Let's all say it together, now: AWWWWWWWWW.

I know, right?

Double the foxes, double the cute! If you love nail decorations, Ebay is the place to go.  The cheapest prices are from sellers in China, but they can take quite a while to ship to the USA.  Your Mileage May Vary.

I love how Funfetti's glitters compliment the blue and pink holos, but stay soft because of the milky base.

I admit, most times after I take the pix, the nail decorations come right off, because otherwise I'll just pick them off.  But I dearly love sticking things on my nails! How do you feel about nail decorations?

Sunday Stamping - ovah a glittah

I love the effect of stamping over a glitter.  It doesn't always work out for me as well as I'd like, but I love the depth it gives a mani.

I started with Makeup Your Face A Heart On Fire.  I don't know why I'm continually attracted to these red/yellow/orange combinations.  I must have been a pyromaniac in another life.

This polish was fun and easy to apply.  I do have some VNL after 2 coats, but I knew I was stamping.  If I had longer nails, I might have found an undie to use, but I rather like the jelly yellow base.  I had to dab a little, but not much, to get the glitters distributed.  There were plenty to go around, though - no need to fish for glitters.

I decided that a Heart On Fire should look like it's on fire!  I used Cheeky CH52 for the flame stamp, and Finger Paints Black Expressionism for the first stamped layer, and then stamped over that with Maybelline Bold Gold.
