Inspiration between sneezes

Dots, stripes, and glitter make glam. I spent a week periodically having inspirational design ideas - when there was enough of my brain working to get an idea through.

I'm just getting over a nasty cold I got to share with my hubby... Gotta say, spending time at home together with nowhere to go and nothing to do is a lot more enjoyable when it doesn't involve loads of Kleenex. Oh, well, at least it gave me time to be creative. No full manicures, but I did make some singles that turned out really cute!


 This is a really neat pebbled design, mostly in shades of silver and shimmery gray, but with touches of color for variety. It has a very slightly marbled texture - enough to be interesting, but not enough to catch on anything. Best of both worlds!



Inspired by a college dorm room design bean bag I saw somewhere. Hooray for retro!


My first attempt at a braided design - definite potential. It's also more than a bit of a pain to paint. I'm thinking this one's not going to be a regular design, and there's NO WAY I'll be able to paint it on myself with my left hand. 


Another example of a nail that looks great and an unfortunate job getting a good picture of it. Stripes of matte and glossy rich royal purple, with accent stripes of green. You can't tell me Maleficent wouldn't love these! ;)


And the crowning glory - here's the glitter & glam. Part shimmer, part glitter, delineation via stones. I think this could be a great every-nail look for a LOT of glitz & glam (I'm thinking New Year's Eve party), or as a ring-finger masterpiece against others that 'pop' a bit less for a slightly less "Look At Me" look.

Pigments

I finally caved and placed an order (a tiny one, just five samples - I'm being frugal!) from Inaz Cosmetics. They have some absolutely incredible pigments, and I'm supporting a Texas company. Whoop!

As I wear eyeshadow about once a year, I went ahead and dove straight into the glittery "Glam" line.

Their color choices are incredible, and my picture is not doing justice to just how incredibly bright these guys are. Especially the one on the left that just looks silver. That's Glam Rock, and is this incredible holographic glitter. It's completely a see-to-believe color. I will be sporting these proudly on nail designs in the very near future!
