Time for New Hair & Nails to Match!

Hello Dahlings!

Yes, it's that time again where I show you my latest dye job

& da mani I did to match it.

I do have to say that I wasn't as happy with this hair

as I've been with my previous dye jobs.

I blame Color Jam 2 Purple Passion

cuz that shiz ain't purple, it's red plum leaning maroon!

I still have 2 shades of pink & 2 shades of blue left over

from my annual summer multi-color dye left-overs fest.

Da purple from that dye job had pretty much faded out

& I had da usual 1" or so of grow out.

I bleached my fringe roots.

I applied Ion Brights Lavender to the top, sides & back fringe.

I applied Color Jam 2 Purple Passion

to da front & side fringes along with da back.

This is what I got...

...da left side...

 ...& da right side.

Meh.

Da plumy maroon just ruins it for me.

I've decided to live with it for a week

& if it still bugs me I'll over dye da whole mess

with something else...maybe Electric Blue?

At least my nails turned out better!

 On my left hand I applied 2 buttery smooth coats of

The Devil Wears Polish Autumn Nights

*swoon*

I is in lurv with this dark blue violet 

rainbow fest of bountiful beauty!

(shown with one coat of Seche Vite)

 On my right hand I applied 2 coats of

GlitzkriegWarPaint Electric Violet

(shown with 1 coat of Seche Vite)

My Ultimate Lemming for almost a year

has been a neon purple linear holo polish.

When XOXO, Jen sent me a pic of this polish

I dang near wet my knickers

& rushed off to buy me a bottle!

The color is EXACTLY what I wanted!!!

Alas, the formula was not.

I added thinner twice & that only got me

to the consistency of house paint.

(if you add too much thinner

you can cause the polish to fail in a horrible,

not wearable way, so be careful when using it)

So I added a lil clear, non-fast drying polish

& that at least thinned it enuf that I could get a 2nd coat on

w/o pulling off da previous gloppiesque coat.

It's still thicker than I like, but it's now wearable.

*le sigh*

I figures that when I finally get my paws on my ultimate lemming,

it's less than perfect.

I ordered 2 other polishes with Electric Violet

& hope they aren't as persnickety to apply.

A plus for the vendor is that one of those other bottles

got decapitated by da USPS

(toopid PO...it was well wrapped)

& she replaced it pronto.

 

On to da nail art!

I used Kleancolor Metallic Fuchsia

with da large cable knit design

in da upper left corner of Vivid Lacquer plate VL 025

to stamp over Autumn Nights.

 

I used Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire

with da 2nd down on da left design

from Vivid Lacquer plate VL 026

to stamp over Electric Violet.

 

I like to wear a cozy sweater on those crisp Autumn Nights, don't you?

 

Funky & fun!

(My dentist liked this mani!

She told me so right before she pinned me to da chair

for over 2 hours as she filled 4 cavities. Blerg.)

 

If I redo my hair, I'll show you.

I haven't decided yet...

 

>^. .^<

 

 You should take care of your fangs, like I do, Meowmy!

 

A good chewing on catnip keeps dem clean

& makes me a happy Ciri.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
