Doing nails with my guy.

6:23 pm:  These nails are not mine.  In fact, I didn't even do them.  They belong to my Shaun-love and he did them himself with his own polish and stamping kit.  😃😃😃  Look people:  If I can find a man that loves me with all of my strangeness and even joins me in my not usually man-friendly hobbies then I know there is someone out there for everyone.  😉

Back to the nails - he only wears really dark colors - mostly black, and red or silver metallics.  He also likes a matte topcoat, but he didn't get to use it this time because I was bumming it, (as you'll see in my next photo).  On a more manly note he does clean his cuticles with his knife... where I just use polish remover and a pointy cotton swab.  😂

6:35 pm:  This is my trial experimenting with a matte topcoat.  Shaun uses one frequently, but I never have put one on more than just briefly.  The main reason for that was because the matte topcoat I had would leave little white goobies on top of your polish when it dried.  Which... as much work as I sometimes put into my nails you can forget me doing anything that might gank them up.

For anyone interested, the matte with the goobies is by Hard Candy at Wal-Mart.  We found a new one by NYC at Wal-Mart this past weekend which is what I'm wearing now.  No issues at all!  I put it on different kinds of polish to see how it would look.  On my thumb it's only on half of the nail.  It's also on my first and ring finger.  I left the middle and pinky shiny to show the difference.  I actually really like the look it gives so I'll definitely by trying it again the future.  😃

Shaun and Shadow both seemed shocked...

Shaun and Shadow both seemed shocked that I didn't have a hand full of different patterns on today.  😂  But I'm done swatching my big plates so I'mma do what I want!  This image is from a smaller plate and it's the first time I've used it.  I think it looks really neat - like graffiti or something.  I knew there was no way that I could make them all look the same so I intentionally stamped in all different directions.  I like how it turned out - they are just a wee bit wild!  🙂

31 - 40/40

AS USUAL - I missed the tip of my left thumb.  I've only managed to not do that so far ONE TIME in all the time I've been stamping now.  Also I somehow managed to chip my pointer finger before I could photograph it.  So.  I guess these are a little janked up for your viewing pleasure.  😂  I like all of these patterns, but I stamped with a glitter polish (I just had to try it) on the pinky so it doesn't look like I'd hoped, but that's ok.  Note to self:  Don't do that again.  😛

Pinky is my least favorite here, too.  The polish didn't stamp too well and I also don't really care for that little shape.  It's like a spear or something.  Btw, the white I used under the color is AWESOME.  I can't remember the brand, but Walgreens and KMart carries it.  It's kind of got this shimmer to it and it goes on really nice.  White polishes are usually such a pain.  I'll go look in my box and see what it is if anyone is interested.  🙂
