Day 7: Very Berries

How come I forgot about the berry? I assume that vampires love berries. What kind of berry? If hence, maybe they'll gonna love this one.


Uh-huh. Never seen any with this comparison. Vampy and berry and the same time. Credit for my friend's effort! Whew!


Taking pictures while Mr. Sun is oozing with hotness has never been this pleasing. This dark berry color was my choicest but I tried thrice because OPI made a not-so-polisher-friendly formula for this one. It looks gorgeous but too plain. So I decided to stamp it after three days.

OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees (4 coats), Orly Luxe

That's for the left hand. Here's for the right.


Just approving. Oh my, it's the seventh day and I'm so done!!! Yippee!

Day 6: Count Dracula

You'll find the relevance in the end of this post.

As the challenge ends, it took me hard, really hard to look for the vampy shades that won't bore my readers. Swatching for this time's color is twice as usual. It's like I qualm about the shade for the first time; I trust Scrangie's review. Maybe I'm not in the semblance but I have to give it a try.

Dark green. Cal Poly Pomona green. Hunter green. Crucial ABCs huh? See for yourself.




Makes me think of Zoya Envy and Essie Licorice. It's OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow from Spain Collection and OPI Silver Shatter. Four coats to achieve the genuine opaque finish.

So here's about Count Dracula. Early English folklore believes that green is known to have signified witchcraft, devilry and evil.  In 1927 Broadway stage production of Dracula , the main actor wore the green-hued make up.

From Roses to Cotton Candies

Just so you know that I'm not fond of colors red and pink but then again, I still want to keep the ones bought and use them. Somewhat this is what I did three days ago; considering it's the "red/pink" (my opinion for the colors of Valentine) month, I want to create a nail art that'll make someone think of valentine. Funny that after all my effort, it didn't turn that way! My four and five-year old nieces say that it looks like a cotton candy.



Please forgive my mess and not cleaning.

Here are the the stuffs:
1st color (in-line w/ the cuticle): butter London Snog
Middle color: OPI Manicurist of Seville
Tips: OPI Opi Red
