Nail Art: The Joys of Thinner

It only just dawned on me why I haven't been doing as much nail art these days, it's because all of my glittery polishes are so thick! Luckily mum had a bottle of thinner on hand.

I was reunited with an old flame, Sinful Nail Junkie. To think that I even considered getting rid of it because I used it no longer makes me want to, 
(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ︵ ┻━┻

For this manicure I used Color Club Ready to Royal as the deep purple base, a small and short layer of NFUOh 050 followed by a sparse coat of Sinful Nail Junkie, topped with another thin coat of NFUOh 050.

Just a little bit more on Sinful Nail Junkie, here is a different look I did with it for the new year of 2010:

And here is a franken with it in it as well as Sinful UFO (orange version of NJ):

I hope you have a great week!

~*New Years Eve Mani*~

How did your new years go? For the first time I spent mine with my partner up in the city. We ordered some pizza, watched the fireworks and played on our new computer...

We had it all planned to go out to his friends, as I was heading there he told me change of plans, we are heading home! Whaaaaat... I just did my nails all special... But he did surprise me with a computer. It's pretty good because now I don't have to wait every 2 weeks to go home and swatch/blog!

For my new years mani I wanted someting similar to what I posted a little while ago where I layered differnt polishes and combinations.

For this one I used Color Club Where's The Soiree as my base colour, black. Followed by Color Club Femme Fatale. Just used that a little starting from the cuticle to 3/4's of the way down.

Then I used China Glaze Ruby Pumps, Nfu-Oh 53, Sinful Nail Junkie all used in the same way.

So you have pretty much every finish in there, glitter, shimmer, flakies. A party on every nail. I really loved this manicure as every nail was a bit different than the other. I couldn't stop staring.

I am obsessed with flakies at the moment. I can't stop wearing them! I was thinking of ordering Nfu-Oh 40, 44, 50, 51, 52, 53(gave mine to mum), 54 and 56. What do you think?
