Dino-mite!

Hello Fireflies!

In this third installment of the NCC Inspired by jewelry challenge, I take one of my favorite kitchy necklaces and a stamping plate I've been wanting to use for awhile now! It made a LARGE impression on me, shall we say?

Zebra - Ze Garment That Covers Ze Bosoms

Hello, Fireflies!

Today's a two-fer in two ways!  Firstly, I have two posts today - this one, and the announcement about The Makeup Show - Orlando Peepshow/Creepshow competition.  Secondly, the prompt for today's stamping challenge overlaps with one of the 52 Pick 'n Mix Challenge's - wild animals!

I got these totes adorbz zebra charms from The Sparkly Shop, so I had to do zebra nails!

The plates I used were Mash 41 for the stripes on my index and ring fingers -

- and Cici & Sisi 11 for this cool zebra.  Who doesn't really need a nose, apparently.  I sometimes wish I had larger nail beds!  Poor zebra.  I also stamped him on my pinky, but really only got the neck.

I used my Sally Hansen/Revlon white mix and stamped with Milani Black Swift.  I just love a black and white mani!

Didn't I say that zebra charm is adorbz? Totes!

Bottle shot:  Milani Black Swift, and Sally Hansen White Tip (mixed with Revlon Spirit).

What's your favorite wild animal print?

Polish Royalty Meets the King of The Lizards

Hello, Fireflies!

When I started developing this rabid addiction to nail polish, there were some brands I was desperate to try.  KOH was one of them, even though I had to have it shipped internationally to get it.

This lovely brown is KOH Chocolate Brown. I love the subtle shimmer, which is apparently due to the addition of topaz.  It's such a rich polish.

But it's not just the color or shimmer that makes this 'Polish Royalty'.  Check out the packaging:

I've never seen polish come with a leather (or faux leather, I'm not sure) and lined snap case, with a little fan for drying your nails.  LUX.

Yep, I can't wait until the end of the post for the bottle shots.  The fan is too cute, and the embossed polish case is such a nice touch.  I even love the shape of the bottle.

So, when I was thinking about nail art, I immediately thought of T-Rex, the King of the Lizards, for this royal-treatment of a polish.

Little, tiny t-rexes.

These gold foil t-rexes are small, but sharp! they're made of gold-colored foil.  I bought them from The Sparkly Shop. I think they're totes adorbz.  Totes T-rex Adorbz, y'all.

 What would you pair a T-rex nail charm with?

(not my picture; not sure who to credit, though.  Just a funny picture from the Interwebz.)
