Us Lab Bench Ladies Got To Stick Together

Here's a manicure I done did for a friend, who is also a So-So Fly Biologist.  We're showing those Nerds how it's done!

The manicure is Polka Dot Dotty using Barry M varnishes (Coral and Black).  Took me a while to paint in full - I'm a perfectionist.  But a Big Thank You to the Dahling who lent me her keratin canvases...I'd be happy to manicure again - if you ever have 5 hours to spare ^_^

Polka dots on nails has been trending for several years but they have never left the scene because they can work with most colour combos and they are pretty easy to paint - just use the end of a paint brush or anything with a small blunt end.

So get painting - I want to see those Polka Dot claws at a Lab Bench near me!

Here's some more polka dot inspiration for you:

Some B**ch Broke My Nails!!!!!!!

This means War!  Although, I will have to wait till she gets her A** back into the country...yep, she's a coward and ran away before I had the chance to make her feel my wrath...^_~

Anyways, I'm getting by...managing with two horrifically mangled nails.

Cue the fakes (that's fake nails FYI).

What I Hate about fakes:

They never match your natural shape, no matter how carefully you file them.  There' something about the curvature, the thickness...it's just not as satisfying to paint and then ogle!  They are not true Nail Porn!

What I Love about fakes:

They cover up what some B**ch ruined!

Yeah...and I'm going to ruin her...face!

Let's put the anger aside though and go to the happy nail painting place.  After all the shaping and filing, I had a little bit of fun/polka dot madness (guess which are the fakes).

Take a look:

I'm slightly Obsessed with Barry M Gold Foil Effects at the moment...it's shiny, it excites!

Fleur-de-Lis + Polka Dots

I'm a fan of alternating my designs - a Fleur-de-Lis here, a Fleur-de-Lis there, with a few polka dots and Gold tips!

Is that Mr. Vengeance I spot in the background?

Nails and Mr. Zacky Vengeance - the perfect combination!

I feel my anger subsiding...and a need to express my love for Mr. V a little more...
