Moody nails part 2 - bored/excited

It's been a few days since I put on this polish, but I've been busy with work and stuff. It's been a good kind of busy though :)

Anyhow, this time I was in the mood for peach polish - so I grabbed my Moody polish from Claire's called bored/excited. It took three coats for coverage, which is a bit annoying. I prefer two coats, and unless it's an awsome polish worthy of three coats, I don't use three coaters. But it's changing colours! It just might be reason enough to use it again :) I applied one coat of Seche Vite to add shinyness. It dries to a neon matte finish.

Getting a bit chilly ~ or should I say excited? LOL

Is this not magical?

FYI - my nails broke before the last picture, so that's why they look a bit sad. On top of that, my pinky and ringfinger is much longer than the rest LOL. They must grow faster as I cut them all in matching length last time!

I have a lot of fun wearing these - watching my nails constantly, LOL. Just like wearing holographics on a dull day and then suddenly catching a ray of sun - it's jaw-dropping!

Today I'm wearing a new colour (this pretty didn't survive my cleaning and dish-washing chores), and it's a very special one - I do miss the colour changing part, I have to admit! I'll put up pics when I've had time to give my cuticles some TLC.

Until then, have fun and enjoy your weekend!

Moody nails + Daddy Gerbil (not for rodent-haters!)

I hope you're all having a fantastic week so far! Mine's been a bit "meh", but my wonderful fiancé and our lovable pets are doing their best at brightening my day ♥ And I want to share a pic with you of our gerbil (danish: ørkenrotte), called Daddy Gerbil - because he made me laugh out loud tonight. You can basically do anything to him while he's eating his favourite treats - these orange yoghurt drops - so I picked him up and he just continued munching! If you gently push him of his hang-bridge (there's what - 3 cm down, him being 8 cm?), he will continue eating while falling, LOL! Don't worry this is not something we practice - it was a mistake that happened once while we were closing his cage.

Anyway, enough babbling, here's a picture of the stunning little critter ~

I cropped it there because.. Let's face it. His genitals are not that interesting! LOL

I received a really nice package today, containing polishes I bought from the sweet owner of Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes, Chris. The three polishes I am most thrilled about is Moody polishes from Claire's - teal, blue and pink ones! ♥ I couldn't help myself, I've been wanting to try these for ages, so I immediately stripped my nails and applied the teal one, called Confident/Peaceful. I did two coats on my usual base-coat, NailTek II, and it had a wonderful formula and coverage. The brush was not amazing but quite alright, if only the bottle lid had been a bit bigger for me to hold while applying, then it would've been even better. The polish dries to a somehow matte finish, like a neon would.

Here's a picture without topcoat ~ (I haven't used cuticle oil or creme after the mani so my fingers are dry)

And here's a picture of the same polish with 1 coat of Seche Vite on top - and now my fingers are warm so you can see a difference between the tips and the rest of the nail!

This is the moody polish with the least effect of the three, and I'm already impressed! I can't wait 'till I get to try the other two :D I've already spotted another one on Ebay I just have to have - but I'm going to wait until I have funds again, ofc, LOL.

I have this annoying nail, the one to the far left - it's not broken as it appears, it's just bending :/ Any tips on making it un-bend or stop it in the future?

That's all I have for you today! Have a great day/evening out there.
