Mo-vemeber Mousetache Nails

Hey, In honor of Mo-vember which you can read about HERE, I decided to do Mousetache nails since I can't grow a moustache (I would be considered a Mosista). A basic explanation of Movember is when men shave all facial hair off on Nov.1st and vow to let their moustaches grow out until Dec.1 this then raises awareness of prostate and testicular cancer. Okay now on to the NAILS!

Nails of the past 3 weeks


 

Hey,
So basically my camera battery has decided that it no longer wants to charge so all my high quality picture taking skills have been eliminated for the past couple weeks and until I can get a new one. So I have a few manicures that I've done in that time to show you guys but beware they're cellphone (Android) camera pictures and there is only one of each manicure. Thanks and enjoy the photos. :)

This very basic manicure is Butter London's Knackered. This is 3 coats and it still is transparent in some areas. This product is a duo(trio)-chrome
in my opinion. It flashes green, blue, and purple with holographic glitter all throughout.  Butter London goes for $14 dollars a bottle and is 11ml which is slightly smaller than most regular nail polish bottles, but with the formula its pretty much worth the price.                         
This also basic manicure is Essie's Absolutely Shore with 2 medium blue rhinestones on the accent nail. This is 4 coats due to the fact that it is very, very, very thin and extremely if not applied carefully. It's a very pale green (GORGEOUS!) than can appear slightly blue especially if near blue like blue rhinestones perhaps. I purchased this polish for I believe 3.35 at TJ Maxx. Yay super deals. For it's price I can deal with it's interesting formula but for full Essie price I don't know if it would be worth it.

This manicure, well, I love this manicure for it's gorgeous shimmery simplicity. It features China Glaze Black Diamond as an accent nail and Sinful Colors Cream Pink on the other 4 nails. First things first lets talk about these colors individually Cream Pink is a gorgeous pink with gold shimmer did you read that correctly yes GOLD SHIMMER!!! and Black Diamond is a typical black with silver and if I'm not mistaken very faint green shimmer. Although you can't see either of the shimmers on my nails you can see the China Glaze shimmer in the bottle. Since I borrowed these colors from family members (THANKS!) I sadly do not know how much they retail for but they definitely are worth it.







This manicure my one is loosely based on the Halloween colors purple and orange.  This manicure features two new colors that I recently purchased from Sally's on sale for around 3 dollars each The first color is Beach Bound by Finger Paints It is the darkish purple color. In the bottle it is a bit lighter than it shows on the nail which was a bit disappointing and its application was okay.  The second color was China Glaze's Orange you hot? It is a medium orange with an orange shimmer not to exciting but I like it. And then obviously as you can see I have medium orange rhinestones on the purple nails and light medium purple rhinestones on the orange accent nails. It's bling-y, girly, and pretty all the same.  Oh it took 2 coats each.                                      

 And finally to the end of this very very long post with my all time favorite manicure. This manicure is China Glaze's Kalahari Kiss and the accent nail is Butter London's  West End Wonderland. Kalahari Kiss was on clearance at Sally's 3 dollars or so as usual. And West End Wonderland was $14 dollars. Now lets talk about the polishes Kalahari Kiss is a light nude/tan reminds me of a lion. It's interesting to apply It was hard to get even coats because I have very unsteady hands and It took 2 coats to get it like that. And WEW took 3 coats. It is filled with 3 colors of shimmer tons and tons and tons of gold, yellow smaller amount than that and then orange with has the least enough to be noticeable but doesn't make a huge difference in the polish.










That concludes this extremely long post I had a breast cancer manicure but can't find any good or usable pictures which sucks but BYE guys and gals JAI/Y
