Nail Art, nubbins and my secret project

I have so much to post...were to start...

Last Sunday I sat with my sweet neighbor lady's adorable Mother

who fell while I was there.(She was not hurt) While picking her up off the ground I managed to snap my middle fingernail off. So that meant filing the rest down to match. So now I have tiny baby nubbins.

What do you do with nubbins?

You decorate them!

I had been swatching so I can't remember the base color.

I stamped my nails with my Konad fishnet image using Cocl stamping polish from Born Pretty store

and then added the little pale pink heart sequins also from Born Pretty store.

I feel all sparkling!

Now onto my secret project...

Those of you who follow me on twitter know that for the past few months I've been keeping a secret and dropping the occasional annoying hint about it....welll

I created my own perfume! Evil Angel's Intristic Harmony!

It took forever and was far more complicated than I could have ever imagined but I am so proud of it!

The beautiful and talented Crystal "Naneko" Boyer created my likeness in fantasy form to add to the label.

The fragrance is: A hint of soft black leather to entice the wild side, a subtle whisper of strawberry to settle the inner child, rested on a base of sweet water lily and jasmine with gentle wafts of coconut and blood red roses all to sweep you away to your "Intristic Harmony"

The name is something my Daddy used to say when he was doing things he enjoyed or when people were stressed, sad, angry or what have you. "Find your Intristic Harmony"  In other words go to your happy place or find your inner peace. This takes me to my Intristic Harmony and I hope it will do the same for all who wear it.  Obviously it's available on my website http://www.evilshades.com/ Most important is that I accomplished something I never thought I could and I enjoyed the long road to get there!

I'm just a Zombie girl living in a cupcake world!

I took my 9 year old daughter out for

a girls day out for her Birthday. We went to a Tea Room for lunch.

(Lots of snitty side glares over my pink hair, tattoos and who knows)

Then we went to the mall (I hate the mall) so she could spend her Bday money.

(Hot Topic has no Twilight crap left now and I found a studded bra, score)

So I had to do my nails for the big day of Toture fun.

She said nothing creepy or weird. What? Who? Me? Creepy? Weird? Not me!

So here is what I did

(Thank you Maria)

Barry M Pale Pink for my base China Glaze Grape Pop and OPI Dim Sum Plum

for the images, using BM14 for the cute lil' cupcakes and Konad m13 for my Zombie doll and her Skully friend.

What? Zombies and skulls are not creepy or weird, they are cute!

If you click the picture and make it big you'll see that I even put "sprinkles" on the cupcakes using some random glitter. I did 9 fingers of cutsie cupcakes and the one cute yet super cool Zombie finger.

Bloodstone Manicure

I bought the most gorgeous ring from a friend and Artisan on Etsy, HandcraftedCarolyn

Carolyn is not only an absolute doll but she is an amazing jewelry artist. She makes Earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, sets and custom pieces. Her prices are great and I personally adore her!

This is the ring she made for me.

It is a hand carved Bloodstone rose on silver wrapped wire and I love it so much that I did my nails to match.

The ring fits perfectly and is so comfortable and so beautiful!

I used Nfu-oh 569 as my base and random dots with konad special polish in red.

(Don't panic, I did not cut my nails, this is my right hand. I cut them down to the nailbed about 7 weeks ago for a review of some cute glue on nails.)

I absolutly looooooove this ring and the Artisan who made it. I want more!

Carolyn also sent me a lovely pair of earrings that match my hair! (well the back of my hair)

If you are looking for some beautiful handmade jewelry from an amazing artist, co check out Carolyn's etsy shop here you will love her and her sparklies!

The ring was purchased with my own money and the views in this post are my honest opinion!

You know you want to be Between The Sheets

Deborah Lippmann Between the Sheets

A beautiful Bright nearly neon Fuschia that leans a bit purple and refuses to photograph properly.

I love the story behind this polish. It was inspired by a pair of fabulous sexy heels that Deborah bought and knew that she would never wear them outside the bedroom. How many of us own shoes like that? I own a couple pair of those fabulous sexy too high heels.

This was taken in direct sunlight and is the most inacurate as far as color.

Two coats of amazingly smooth application. No top coat except the one that I stamped.

This and the rest of the pictures are in my lightbox

On my ring finger I made a sad attempt at a corset. It just seemed right.

I used Barielle Belly Dance as the base and Between the sheets for the "corset" with konad image plate m7 and Wet n wild black.

 

I love this color, the formula, application and the bottle!

Color Club Ultra Violet and subtle konad

I did a fun quick manicure with a Base of Color Club

Ultra Violet and Konad m65 rose full nail image (double stamped) using a light purple holo franken.

Subtle image but I like it.

It's a bit like a fancy neon wallpaper

I love the contrast of the shimmer and the holo

There is that sexy shimmer

Is it wrong that I could paint my house in this color and never get bored of it?

Prissy Pirates

This manicure was for my personal entertainment.

I started with 2 coats of Barielle Shdes Blossom, a beautiful color that does not love my skin tone.

I am really loving the Barielle Shades, all that I have tried thus far have a very nice formula, are well pigmented and very unique colors.

I then realized that this color didn't love my crazy Native American/Nordic complection so I thought I'll add polk a dots to detract from the undertones a bit. Yeah didn't help much.

So then looking and my prissy polk a dotted mani I thought

this reminds me of a prissy, fancy party dress. Well what goes best with Prissy, fancy party dresses?

Pirates, duh! lol

(yeah see this is why no one tries to poke about inside my mind)

Can't you just picture the Pirates sipping tea at a fancy ladies afternoon party?

......Crickets chirp....OK so I'm the only one who puts these two worlds together?

Well maybe my view is slightly unusual

I am not crazy....I can hear you thinking it

OK well maybe I am just a teeny tiny bit on the crazy side....

But I have a Prissy Pirate Party on my nails so :oP******

Strange things make me happy, Pirates in fancy party dresses is definitly up toward the top of that list!

Welcome To The Jungle

That song is stuck in your head now isn't it?!

Muahahaha.....oh yeah there was a point. :oD

My 8 year old daughter has been anoying  asking me if she could try konad.

So lastnight I gave her some fake nails and set up the konad for her and caos insued!

She did her nails, the fake nails, her toes, and then she started eyeballing me....

I gave in and let konad over my franken mani.

After she finished she asked me if I liked it....OK Mom duty says you must always tell your children that their art is beautiful so yes you did a great job. This is were she got me.

DD: Mommy are going to take pictures of your nails and put it on your web thing?

Me: Ummmmm.....

DD: If you really like it you will put pictures up for your friends to see. (big sad blue puppy eyes)

She's good!

Here is my jungle

I have a dinosaur in my jungle, giant ladybugs and monster sized butterflies...bet your jungle doesn't have all that. I honestly can't say which plates or polishes she used other than the dino is from my Hot topic fauxnads.

And just to make sure the song sticks for a good long while...

How to not be selected for Jury duty 101

My mission to not get picked for jury duty was a total success!

So I thought I would lend my tips to my other civic duty shirkers!

First consider where you live and what "type" of community it is.

Mine is Super conservative, rich, republican, stick up the but hard core Southern Christian extreemists.

So yes this was not too hard for me. :)

First I consulted the top minds in the Nail world...MUA Nail board, to determine a perfect don't pick me manicure. Most felt that bright, tacky and bling would do the trick. I added my own twist.

I used a base of Golden Rose Paris Holographic #102

Middle finger I did a base of Bloom Mena (Thank you sooooo much Jacie)

Then I stamped some random and lovely blood spatters using Konad special polish red and my Hot topic fauxnad image plate. Restamping the small splats randomly.

Is there anything prettier than blood splater on holo?

On my middle finger I added a coat of my beloved Wixbetty franken Sexy Scarlet Stilettos.

I am in love with this manicure!

Next Make sure that your youngest child is sick and keeps you up until after 4am.

If you don't have a small child I am happy to loan one.

Oh and you must have an Earthquake an hour after the screaming child allows you to sleep.

(Don't worry my summers in LA had me having flashbacks and I ran straight for my nail polish closet)

No worries it was only a tiny 3.3 right under my town. Go figure I would find the one place in the mountains of TN that has friggin' Earthquakes.

You want your eyes nice and red

add puffy and huge dark circles.

Now you'll want to dress for the occasion. Unfortunatly they send rules so this was not fun enough to take pictures. I just wore my studded ballet flats, black capri's(with my studded belt) and my black studded top.

Makeup is very important, you want to make a frightening good first impression.

Go for bright bold colors that can be spotted from a good distance. Go extra heavy on that smokey eye or the eyeliner whichever makes you feel pretty.

I used ES Neritic (which is a peachy pink, stuip colorblind camera) and Glooming for the outer v and upper lash liner, my camera did not pick up the awesome aqua sparklies that rock like nobodies business. Mind you I was comatose when I applied so pardon my craptastic application. Phyrra look away hun, I don't want to traumatize you.

And if you are working on two hours of sleep you might luck out like I did and have absolutly no symetry at all. I'm just good like that! I think I was asleep when I blended and we are not commenting on the brows. umkay!

Final touch, you must wear pigtails so that you brand new 3 gray hairs show as well as the 6 inch wide section in the back of hot pink. Not to mention that at 36 years old it makes you look like you are confused about your own age. :) (Damn it I love my piggy tails and Chris says they are handy cute.)

Remember to accesorize with your dog collar choker and handcuff earings.

And when they call you yawn as you are walking to the interrogation chair.

Plop down your giant studded Demonia purse that weighs more than your youngest child.

While the Judge and attorneys are consulting glop on more lip gloss.

(ES Primrose path lippie and a tiny dab of Lillian's light gloss)

Then you might notice the two attorneys looking oddly at you and making head motions.

Then the clerk comes and says that you are excused!

What no questions? I was prepared for questions damn it!

Do your best innocent face as you skip to your car!

(P.S. don't mind my fancy robe, I immediately put on my jammies when I got home)

Well my Lovies there you have it. I do hope this helps you out in your time of need.

Looking through my rose colored glasses

Have you ever wondered what people see through

rose colored glasses? Here is a glimps through mine.

**Warning spiders ahead**

I started with a base of China Glaze Tantalize me.

It's a touch more lavander in real life but the blue shimmer is what holds my heart.

The clouds are stamped with plate m79 and OPI Panda-monium pink

Spiders are plate m1 using China glaze Heli-Yum

and the "ground" is plate m65 and Orly Pure Petunia

I shouls wear these glasses more often

Do I have any art loving readers? If so I bet you get this konadicure.

I think I did a similar painting in high school.

Nail art madness

So what happens when your husband says why do you need all this crap

While looking in the drawers of your nail art cabinet. Ummmm......because!

Him: Because you never use it?

Me: I do too use it. (covers up unused nail art brush set)

Him: Hmmf! K...crazy nail polish lady!

Me: Flips him the bird!

Him: When are you going to be on Hoarders?

Me: Right after you! (Points to eleventy billion cd's)

:oP

So I was determined to use my goodies.

The Base color is Essence Date me

Konad image stamp from plate m65 and free hand tips are China glaze Grape Pop

Hot topic fauxnad stamp is Orly Wild Wisteria

Shakey hands much?

Had to touch up between a few "tips" with Date me to get rid of a few stray stamp lines.

Stupid nails are already too long for the full nail stamps to cover.

Crazy nail polish lady says pppbbbblllltttttttt...... :P*****

I have no clue what I was trying to do with the weird french tips.

I love this brush and if my hands weren't so shaky today, you'd see that it is awesome!
