Two Thor 2 - Loki Inspired Manicures

     Today, I have a 2 different manicures to show you guys. I am going to see Thor 2 tonight (it had to be put off on account of illness until now). Actually, I did one of them before I got really good and sick so my nails are a bit longer (before they chipped while I was sick). I painted one and then ended up not going to the movie because I got to go to the doctor instead. Not a fun trade. Anyway my favorite character in Thor, and The Avengers is Loki. I'm not going to lie Tom Hiddleston is man pretty, but he's also more fun and more charming than Thor IMO (plus Thor is all blond...and a muscle bound monkey. Gross...). So I did a couple abstract homages to his royal Asgardian trickster self. Here are my Loki manicures:

See...man pretty.

      So there you have it. Which one do you guys like better? I like them both. To be honest I feel a little rusty having been away from nail art for so long. I have to get back into the habit. I've got another one coming up that's pretty epic, look for it later this week. Anyway that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.

I'm The Host of Viral Plague.

I just wanted to do a quick post from my phone to let you guys know why I haven't been posting. For the last two weeks I've had a nasty cold that turned into what my doctor referred to as a "raging" sinus infection (3 words I never want to hear together again) and bronchitis. Yeah...not awesome. Anyway I just wanted you guys to know I'm not ignoring you I'm just a host animal for a virus that's kicking my butt right now. I'll do a real post as soon as I feel better. I take solace in the fact that while the germs are making me sick, miserable, and crabby, my body is killing them. I'm taking pains to make sure no one else gets them so they die with me (Vengeance will be mine!). Anyway I'm going to go rest now and I'll be back as soon as I feel better. Until next time, stay classy, and stay polished.
XOXO

Duo-Chrome Curls Manicure

      As I am carrier of viral plague once again I am going to post a mani I did a while back but never posted. Don't get me wrong I love my job working with kids but I'm not a big fan of their germs. Anyway disregard nail length as I said this was an older mani that I did and took pictures for but never posted until now. I have another stamping manicure to show you guys. I decided I really like pairing two duo-chrome polishes together and I'm pretty happy with the result. Here it is:

What I Used:

OPI - Just Spotted The Lizard

OPI - Peace & Love & OPI

Stamping plate: Mash-49

     I used 3 coats of Peace & Love & OPI then stamped Just Spotted The Lizard over top. I really like the effect. A subtle duo pattern, that screams fall. Do you guys like it? I also tried a different clean up technique where I used a brush around the cuticles (Hence the tiny bit of exposed nail bed near the cuticle). What do you guys think of this nail polish clean up approach? I can't decide if I like it or not. I keep looking down and going "Ahh! Naked Nail!" Thoughts? Anyway that's all I have for you today. Until next time stay classy and stay polished.
XOXO
