In the Speed Of Life

So life here in Leominster is good. I like the area, and have been going on long Sunday trips with my Landlord. He is showing me all these fantastic places around here. I'm working on getting a job, and a work desk for my nail art, but for now, its all in boxes.

Lets be a bit crazy shall we?

Today's mani is made using 4 different polishes, a dotting tool, some stamping. I used Bundlemonster plate BM214.

If you ever consider layering/stamping anything over Orange-a-peel from KBShimmer. I would recommend using a topcoat between that, and what-ever goes over. Every time I have tried I have ended up smudging everything, even thou the layer seems dry (30 m - 1 h). Topcoat seems to hold it in place.

This manicure was inspired by my dear friend Mishka. She created this cute manicure stamping over a indie.
Using the same idea with orange, I created this.

And that's it. What do you think?

Orange-a-peel with sunspots

I just got my first Indie-polishes, and I had to try Orange-a-peel. It reminds me of a close-up picture of the sun with sunspots. I know I'm a nerd. Haha.
Don´t know what I am on about?

Picture showing AR1339, from National Geographic.

No its not a Claude Monet, this is actually the surface of the Sun. Cool, right?

Anyhow... Back to polish. 

I wanted to to and create something like this with my new polish. 

I used two coats of Depend - 124, and one coat of Orange-a-peel. 

And now for the sunspot effect I sponged some black at the tip and base of my index finger.

Orange-a-peel is a fun polish, I am interested to see how it layers over other colors.

As for drying time. You should not use Out The Door topcoat on this one, after 1 hour it was still gooey. Sally Hansen Double Duty (that I happened to have in my bag), dried it in a few sec. (I have to remember to get a new one soon, cause its almost out. !!)

Closer look at the Indies

This is a quick swatch, on nail wheels. Using 1 coat.

OMG Indie Nail Mail

I came back home after a shopping trip, and found not one, but two packaged in my mail.
I ran up all the stairs, which is a lot of steps, since I live on the 5th floor.
Hastily threw my bag on the floor, snapped my camera, and opened the packaging.

Weeeeeee!!!

One from Cult Nails, and from a girl I bought some polishes from on a nail-forum. 

Lets take a look at what I got from Cult Nails.

Enigmatic

I am looking forward to use these two babes.

And what did I get from my little forum-haul?

She gifted the rhinestones you see at the top, and assorted fimo-sticks. I cant wait to try that!
And look at the indies!! My firsts!

I am so happy now.
