Fanny Z Gold Zebra

I am calling this Fanny Z # 83 polish 'Whoa' because it is a beautiful shimmery blue that made me say 'whoa'! This is 2 coats, and some gold zebra stripes with a franken stripe polish I made ( it's really just Claire's 24 Karat in a stripe bottle ) I chose not to use the obvious silver colour of stripe polish and instead went for a metallic gold. I think this turned out lovely. I am still working on the thickness of my stripes.......

I don't own anything to compare this polish color and finish to: has anyone else spotted these Fanny Z dollar store nail polish's?

  1 coat & 2 coats

P.C. chipotle dipping sauce changed my life...........!!!!.

STARBURST NAILS

Here is a fun and easy way to use nail art stripe polishes. I started with a  base of Sally Hansen Complete Salon in Plum Luck, a rich purple creme..... I added wispy strokes of LA Colors metallic pink and Kiss nail art in pink glitter...... I gave that a few minutes to settle up before sparsely applying a Sally Hansen X-treme wear in Strobe light which is a silver and pink multi-sized holographic glitter then lightly sprinkled on some magenta holo glitter ( from summer 2010 ).

I like this nail art and have done it many times with different colours over the years......

 stuff I used; SH CSM Plum Luck Art Deco Metallic Pink, Kiss Pink Glitter, SH X-treme Stobe Light

#1 pink metallic

#2 pink glitter stripe,  silver/pink holo, sprinkle of loose magenta holo glitter

#3 TC and pink rhinestone

2 more glamour shots. I can't complain about my camera but I will mention that trying to take photos of hot pink or magenta coloured objects does not turn out well most of the time.

please don't eat me lol

Will autopost work today?

.........we will see at 7:00 a.m. Central Time

 Todays nails are a copy inspired by Thriszha over at Fab Ur Nails - she posted this awesome sticks and stones mani...., a few weeks ago. I copied the polish part using nail art stipes polish & added a coat of TC. Love the black and white glitter she used!

I basically brushed on these four colours using nail art polish randomly over my nails. I will definitly try this look again in the future, with a glitter top coat.

whoops @ my middle nail ~ lol

Title?

I have been meaning to do this look for a while now.  I don't know if I should call this 'lattice' nails..... or 'bold geometric line nails'.... This was super-duper easy to do, the addition of Love My Nails Dazzling helped bring this pattern together, but it still looked cool without it.

I started with a base of Billi Cosmetics Turquois, then made random intersecting lines with LA Colors stripe polish's in Hot Pink and Fuchsia.

...see - it is spelled like that

stuff I used Billie Cosmetics Turquois, LA Colors Hot Pink, LA Colors Fuchsia

without top coat

started with the lighter colour.....

with TC

Essence High Spirits with LA Colors Stripe Polish funky french

 ..... looks like I need a little more practice with glitter stripe polish.

So I finally found these Essence nail polish at Shoppers Drug Mart (Canada). I picked up a few but wanted to try Essence High Spirits right away. I was surprised that this was only 3 coats for me, I imagined this would be a watery sheer polish, but it applied perfectly and I had great opacity in 3 coats.

stuff I used for this mani - Essence High Spirits, LA Colors Silver Glitter, LA Colors Black, and Billie Cosmetics Black ( and Nailene Top Coat )

I used LA Colors Stripe polish in black to make the line, then filled it in with Billie Black... I couldn't find my trusty Wet n Wild Black Creme..... I did the opposite on my ring nail and added just 1 nail sticker, traced the line with 2 coats of LA Colors silver stripe then added Top Coat.

 I added the pretty white flower nail sticker from Fing'rs to my ring nails then added a coat of TC. I was hacking tree stumps this weekend and none of those stones fell off --- impressive

whispy stripe polish....

I love stripe polish's. This mani is simple curved whispy stripes. I started with a base of Billie Cosmetics nude creme, then swiped on L.A. Color Art Deco Hot Pink, then L.A. Color Art Deco Metallic Pink. No Top coat in these photos...... I planned on adding some more pink glitter and gems, but left it as is - I thought it was perfect.......

This colour on it's own is......is......gblah

stuff I used Billie Cosmetic's Nude Creme, L.A. Colors Hot Pink and Metallic Pink

I'm blue...............................

 3 coats of Sinful Colors Fly Away, With LA Colors Stripe polish in Black, filled in w/WnW Black

I have been wearing this beautiful blue polish for 3 days, I'll have to look through my previous posts becuase I think I wore this for 3 days the last time I wore Sinful Colors Fly Away. After totally trashing this manicure doing household cleaning and scrubbing, I added some black tips with LA Colors Stripe polish, then filled in the small area with Wet n Wild Black Creme. I added a profane coat of TC ( with bubbles!!!! )

If anyone else has this polish, is there some hair care product or cosmetic packaging that is extremely similar in colour to Sinful Colors Fly Away? - I think there was an older Covergirl Mascara tube very similar to this colour-

.....and

above - 3 thin coats of Wet n Wild Saved by the Blue, followed by silver and shimmery/opalescent stripe polish's from KIss Nails. I thought that the stripe polish's would show up much better, but they ended up being in very subtle contast to the base polish......

I used the shimmery white and silver polish from the package on the left.....

Check out what happened with my matte top coat - My pinky nail went all-the-way matte and then it got shiny-er gradually towards my thumb  - weird! maybe Wet n Wild Saved by the Blue is too awesome and powerful for matte top coats and needs to shine!!!!!!! lol

I added top coat to my pinky I wanted this whole mani to be matte but ended up leaving it as is.
