Hello ladies,
I usually keep a bright attitude and my parasol up, but today was challenging. What's a lady to do on such occasions? The cranky manicure! Please note the other fine ladies before me with the angry manicure and the rageful manicure. I had some assistance from Coraline with arms and legs crossed from plate C05. She is stamped in Konad special polish in white and black respectively.
Please click to enlarge. My crankiness is extraordinarily sparkly.
The color and proportions of the dahlia above demonstrates a riled temper. I did calm myself first with my garden photo session. Then, I sat in the back patio area of the cafe with a strong coffee and a toasted wheat bagel loaded with extra garlicky hummus. I took the concept of being unapproachable to new levels today. My friend David spoke kindly to me from the safety of the door frame, both feet inside. He smartly blamed it on the hummus.
Let's talk polish! Emblazoning my middle finger is China Glaze Ruby Pumps. I used three coats. The rest are painted in Chanel Feu de Russie, one of my most beloved polish shades. What I adore about Feu de Russie is the blackened base still reflects subtle red shimmer in low light. It's vampy, but it doesn't become one of the un-dead without bright sun to illuminate it. I used two coats. The formula is so opaque one coat would likely work for shorter nails. Chanel Feu de Russie is from the discontinued Moscou Collection and my favorite of the three polishes in the grouping.
I hope my cranky manicure brought amusement to you. Only a couple days left before the Coraline contest ends Friday! Please enter if you haven't had the chance.
Happy painting ladies, but it you have to paint crankily, angrily, or ragefully that's what red and black are for! xoxo!
