Past looks

It's probably pretentious, but I have a habit of "naming" polish looks I really enjoy.


It's just a quick way to refer back to a look I really like, or if it makes me think of something specific.

"Space Jam", made with OPI "Lucerne-tainly look marvelous" and Sally Hansen Diamond Strength "Wedding Crasher"

"Lumpy Space Princess", featuring two thin coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure "Good to Grape" and again, "Lucerne-tainly". In a non-bullshit lighting situation, this has a purply undertone. 

And of course, not all looks get a name, just those that I'd love to repeat later on, whether for a special occasion or otherwise.

I suck at triangle cuticles. There were seven(!) polishes involved with this look. The base green was Wet N Wild's "Sagreena the Teenage Witch", then a layer of Sally Hansen's HD "Resolution". The red is L'Oreal's "Owl's Lust" with a top coat of Wet N Wild "Under Your Spell", and I think the lavender was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Lacey Lilac" with a top coat of Scherer Chameleon in "Calypso". The gold was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Golden-I". 

L'Oreal's... "Owl's Lust" with NYC matte top coat. That fucking name.

This look was inspired by wrapping paper at Christmas. Do you know how hard it is to take a shot of both hands? It involves timers.

Of course, as long as your polish looks good, it doesn't matter if it's named or not.

"Blackberry Jam", OPI's "Black Cherry Chutney" topped with Revlon's "Sparkling". I freaking love this look.

I don't want to name it Cinderella, but that's all I can think of. OPI's "Dining Al Frisco" with tips of Sally Hansen Gem Crush "Big Money".
