Wherein I Copy Someone Much Better Than Me

I subscribe to a number of nail art blogs, of course, and frequently star things in Reader that I just have to replicate.

Can I break for a second and beg the Google gods to pleasepleaseplease bring back "Share" in Google Reader?  I know that project is on the blade of the axe all the time, but it is a super love of mine, and to add Share back in would be fantastic.

Back to it.

Chelsea over at The Nail Network had the greatest combination of Zoya Noot and Storm the other day, and it stuck in my mind until I got home.  I don't know how she ever picked these two colors to go together, but her nails looked AWESOME and I was jealous.  Zoya Noot is this fantastic kind of darkened olive green creme that's a fantastic one-coater.  Storm is one of the other Ornate collection beauties Zoya released this past winter, a black creme with tons of micro holo glitter.

I never would have picked these two, but I totally should have.  Way to go, Chelsea - this is completely fab.


Enter the replication demon:

The holo doesn't flash under my sun lamp, but in the real sun it's a beast!

The weird lighting reflection makes it look like my nails are rolling waves of...putrid green.
Great.

Close and roiling.

  2. If this were a murder mystery,
    and you were dead,
    because someone slipped up behind you and clobbered you on the head as you were taking the picture,
    the CSI fools would be able to clearly identify your attacker.

    All of that to say... wow! what great pictures and what awesome nails!
