Tip the Scales


Today when I sat down to do my nails, I had NO idea what I was going to do. (like most days) This is what happened, I think it kind of looks like very graphic fish scales. :-D


I used Essie Sag Harbor as a base, with NOX Twilight Talon for the 'scales'. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Tonight was AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE. I was lucky enough to get tickets to 2 concerts. Not one, TWO! :-P (FREE) I got to go to Cyndi Lauper at the House of Blues, and Michael Franti and Spearhead at Mandalay Bay Beach. Cyndi Lauper was INCREDIBLE. She sang a ton of blues songs, and then sang her well-known hits. (and you bet your ass I wore my MAC Viva Glam Cyndi. :-D) Michael Franti was also really amazing, I love how his music is so happy and uplifting, he's definitely a gifted artist! :-D

This is me after tonight (no, not red, smeary, and round-faced...HAPPY! Don't mind the zillions of freckles...I'm cursed)

  1. Really pretty! Reminds me of the children's book "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister, that has the colorful, shiny scales on the cover! :)

  3. That's really cute! It reminds me of a pottery design, I'd pull up a link if I could remember more about it. I like it a lot, though. :D

  5. These are great! Can I ask you a question? What brush are you using to paint on the fish scale lines? Will it ruin the brushes to keep dipping them in acetone to clean them?
    i Love NOX polish !
