Breaking Dawn Part 1 - Movie Manicure

Pin It

Hey ladies,

I saw Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 yesterday (I didn't hate it, just the wolf scene really - it reminded me of the kids calling on Captain Planet and him saying "With your powers combined, I am Captain Planet! - I pissed myself laughing - not sure the elderly couple beside me appreciated it but I'm always a horror to sit next to at the movies - I pre-empt every laugh out loud moment + lots of others no one else either gets or finds amusing with my seriously loud cackle. It is fun to embarrass my friends and family though!!!) and in honour of the film I did a special (yet not nail arty) mani.
FYI I took these photos under my lamp.

I'm an on the fencer when it comes to Team Edward vs Team Jacob (who am I kidding, if Jake wasn't so young I'd be on him having his wolf babies sooner than an addict on crack. Bella is a FOOOOOL, but she gets to have pretty hot vampy sex & Edward's rich so ...), so I ordered both sets of water decals off the Evil Bay much earlier in the year.

On my left hand I'm wearing The Volturi  & on the right I'm wearing The Wolves from the Breaking Dawn trio I bought from Dollish Polish. I probably should have worn The Cullens for my Team Edward hand but I thought the Red symbolised the Vamp choice and more importantly went with the red heart on the decal!!!
I just used OPI Alpine Snow under the water decals because I wanted to make sure you could read them.

In real life the decals looked a lot clearer (but I fumbled them a lot before I actually placed them properly on my nails so that's why they look pretty cracked in macro).

I loved looking at my ring fingers the last two days (that's why there is some tip wear - I'm so rough on my hands!!) - it always put a smile on my dial :)

Lisa Stanbury, dearest friend - these are the decals I am sending you - I'm sorry this parcel has been taking me months to actually send. This week it goes out for realskis!!!

Hope you like.

More Dolls... from Dollish Polish's Franken Line

Pin It

Good Monday Morning all,

Just before I get off to do a little work I wanted to show you some more  Dollish Polish Franken swatches. I bought these a month or so back now and have been itching to show you them.

 Nice Scrunchy, Heather, inspired by Heathers, is much more holo than it looks - the sun just wasn't co-operating with the camera! I'd class it as a medium strength holo. And the formula? Oh Em Geeeeee - to die for. Just like painting on a regular creme. Two easy coats of jelly/creme like goodness. Props to Dolly for this beautiful pin-up red. I feel the urge to call it a cherry red? Just beautiful and so kind to my warm toned friends. I'm seriously in love. Seriously. Seriously...

I don't feel like I captured The Shire well at all. It was so overcast and glarey that you barely see the true brown in these photos. Clearly inspired by Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit this is a medium almost chocolate brown with a strong green shimmer. I really wish I had got some good photos under a lamp :( The top right photo shows the brown the best I suppose. The grittiness/bubbles on my nails is from my Sally Hansen Miracle Growth, again. Sorry!!

Remember you can get your hands on these frankens by going to Dolly's shop - Dollish Polish - on Etsy. She has a new Limited Edition set out of 3 holiday top coats, named The Christmas Story:

L-R: It Says F-R-A-G-I-L-E, You'll Shoot Yer Eye Out, Kid, I Triple Dog Dare Ya'

They look gorge - so get in quick!!!!
