Since we had a rainy day down here in SoCal yesterday, which is pretty strange for May, I decided to do some rain nail art! I'm not totally happy with how these turned out but I still want to share this with you all. :) I definitely need to work on my nail art skills.
For this mani I used Sephora by OPI Metro Chic as my base color. I wore this for a day and was impressed by how shiny it was without top coat! For the clouds I used a combination of a white polish, Sally Hansen Gray by Gray, China Glaze Immortal, and Mischevious. The raindrops are Sally Hansen Gray by Gray which is really quite a blue-gray color to me.
Below is Sephora by OPI Metro Chic on its own. Three coats plus top coat.
You all know how much I love my gray polishes, so this was right up my alley. I really can't get enough of them haha!
In other news, I made a lightbox (finally!) I've been meaning to do this since I started this blog almost 6 months ago and finally got around to it. Yayyy! These were actually my first pictures in the lightbox an you can tell I haven't gotten used to it yet. But I am loving it so far.
Also, I have been thinking about an absolutely insane idea to swatch all of my polishes that I currently own. Yes, all of them. I don't know if it is even going to happen but I'd like to know what you guys think. I've added a poll on the right so take it really fast and let me know!
Be sure to check out all of the other R manis! I've seen some awesome stuff so far!

ReplyDeleteI really like these!! Cute idea for R. I would love to swatch my whole collection too, but I can't find time to swatch the "untried" much less all of them. I think it's a great idea, and Good Luck!!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Essence date in the moonlight. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteI am currently swatching all my collection, too. I bought swatchicles (swatch sticks) on ebay for all of them plus extras for the new entries ;) I prefer swatch sticks over swatch wheels because I want to order them by colour. And if I buy a new shade I can insert the new stick where it's meant to be. It's a long journey honestly because I have nearly 1,000 polishes but I love to have all of them organized!
ReplyDeleteAnd for the ABC, I love the rain idea you had!
Glad you're OK!
ReplyDeleteI really like these, especially your clouds-they look awesome! Great idea.
Rain!! Great job!! I would never swatch my whole collection, it would take the fun out of finding something I aren't worn yet!!!
ReplyDeleteGood idea! Rain! They're so cute, and the base color is really pretty as well. I love greys too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome to swatch all your polishes, I think you should do it!
Aww this is cute! I would love to see some rain over here but it is unusually warm down under right now :/
ReplyDeleteAs for the swatching... Do IT!! :D
So cute and creative! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI'm swatching my entire collection by color and on nail wheels. I also have dedicated wheels for my holo polishes.
ReplyDeleteThey're nice, but honestly I wish I had bought swatchicles!
Anyway, lovely manicure - today has been rainy here in Italy too so it's very appropriate for my mood! ^^
It would take me years to swatch all my polish, but kudos to you for going for it! I thought about rain for 'R' but couldn't figure out how to do it. I like what you've done with yours...so cute!
ReplyDeleteCute manicure! I think I have own Metro Chic for three (3!!!) years now and it's still on my untrieds pile :O Shame on me :/
ReplyDeleteI RRRRRealy like this, how's that for R? :) I am glad you're better now!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! It never even occurred to me to use Rain for R - it's only rained here just about every day for over a week. I like how it turned out.
