The Northern Lights Of Essie Fire!

Does that blog title make absolutely no sense? Yeah, I thought so. I've been painting my nails more than I've been blogging, so I have a few back-logged designs, and these three aren't all of them.

The first one is The Northern Lights.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan, but I should show you guys my fail nails, too. The second picture is "Sapphire" (I think) by Quo/Orly which is my base colour. The other blue/purples that I added are all crackles. They didn't really crack much. Oh well. Also, it doesn't look like the Northern lights. I can see the real-deal from my bedroom window on clear nights and they don't look like that. Oh well. The design is still... interesting?

This next design is just showing off my new Essie top coat, "Shine of the Times" with a purple base.

it's a multi-dimensional glitter coat. In different lights and different angles, it changes colour, from red to blue to green to gold. You can see a video of these nails below. Excuse the background music, my mother or brother was practicing piano at the time.

Now for the third design, it's FIRE!

 I've heard this works as a Hunger Games design, but I'm not a fan so I wouldn't know. I only saw the movie once, not knowing what I was about to see. Meh, I thought it was okay. Anyway... yes, my thumb looks different. It's the same polish, "Garnet" by Quo/Orly, but it doesn't have black as a base. Goes to show that putting a coloured base on first really changes how the polish turns out!

I have several more backed-up designs that I hope to show you one day. I have a not-very-good crackle one, a special effects design, and a Deathly Hallows one. Stay tuned and I'll post them at some point in the future.
