Finger Paints: Paper-Mâché swatch and comparison

Finger Paints: Paper-Mâché is an opaque, creme, white polish.



In comparison to Pure Ice: Super Star! I think Paper-Mâché has a duller finish, and that Super Star! is brighter.



Unfortunately I didn't get to get the comparison shot until after Super Star! chipped. If I get a chance later I will retake the picture, but right now I am far behind and still need to catch up. Pure Ice: Super Star! is on the left and Finger Paints: Paper-Mâché is on the right.







Today's book recommendation is Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce. I first read this series in Junior High (before they all became Middle Schools, I'm old, I know.) Alanna trades places with her twin brother Thom, so she can become a knight, and he can become a mage. I still read this series, and others that Pierce has written over and over.

Week 19- Floral manicure

For my floral manicure I polished my thumb, middle finger, and pinkie in Pure Ice: Super Star! I polished my pointer and ring fingers in Pure Ice: Watermelon Ice.

I applied stickers on my pointer and ring fingers, they are the same stickers I used for my Easter manicure, seen here.

Clockwork Angel is actually the first book that I read by Cassandra Clare, but it is actually the first book in her second series. It is set in the same world as the Mortal Instruments, but in the Victorian era.

Week 5- Newspaper manicure

I have been sick all week, so I didn't get to post this until today.

I painted my nails with three coats of Pure Ice: Super Star! last Thursday, and you can see there is some tip wear already. I didn't use a top coat, but then I can down with the plague. Today I did manage to venture out and get a newspaper. I found a quote by Albert Einstein in it, "I never think of the future - it comes soon enough." I cut it out to use on my manicure. I started with my thumb and worked my way to my pinky. I did get better as I went along, but my thumb really is just a smudge of ink.

And here is my picture:


I am starting to feel better, so hopefully soon I'll be back to swatches and I will do better on next week's challenge.

Pure Ice: Super Star! and Platinum redux

You can see my previous review of Super Star! here. And you can read my previous review of Platinum here.

So, I tried these colors again. I made sure to wash and dry my hands carefully, to make sure it wasn't oil on my hands that was causing the bubbles. I painted each very thinly and a lot of extra drying time between layers.

In the pictures below each nail has four layers of color and two layers of




Super Star! is on the left and Platinum is on the right.

Super Star! is a nice and creamy, I think it would be good for a French manicure.
