You and Me, Rendezvouz?

Hi everyone!
I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while... what with high school applications and a ton of schoolwork, I've been having trouble finding the time to paint my nails! However, now that hurricane Sandy is here, school has been cancelled in the city for 3 days! I've had hardly anything to do, so I decided to do my nails. Since I've recently been listening to a lot of vocaloid music, I decided to do nails based on one of my favorite songs: Matryoshka! It's kind of a creepy song, but I definitely recommend it (especially because I love Miku and Gumi). Vocaloid is really hard to explain, so for those of you who have never heard of it, just look on vocaloid wiki for more information. I guarantee you'll love it! For the base I used Sinful Colors Innocent, Borghese Rapido in Marino, OPI InStyle Red, and of course Wet and Wild Black Creme. Here are the results:

In the song's famous cover art, Miku's hoodie is green and Gumi's hoodie is red. I painted crooked "french tips"(more like half-nails) to represent the vocaloids' hair, which is blue and green, respectively. Finally, I added black markings to represent the face markings in the cover art. I was rushing a bit when I did these, but i think they came out okay! 

Now, in honor of both the vocaloids and Halloween (which is tomorrow, yay!), here is a list of my top ten favorite creepy vocaloid songs:

10. Daughter of Evil

9. Servant of Evil

8. Crazy Clown

7. Fear Garden

6. Creepy Toast (not really creepy, but it's still a funny song!)

5. Dream Meltic Halloween

4. Trick and Treat

3. Mrs. Pumpkin's Comical Dream

2. Alice of Human Sacrifice

1. Kagome Kagome (Circle You, Circle You in English)

And that's it! These songs are definitely perfect for your next Japanese Halloween party. 

For those of you who are being affected by Sandy, stay safe!

I hope you enjoyed this post. Keep reading for more nail art!

'Til next time,

There's Antimony, Arsenic, Aluminum, Selenium...

Hi everyone!
Recently I painted a very scientific (not really) design on my nails: Elements nails!!! Although I did not include any Antimony, Arsenic, Aluminium, or Selenium in my design, I still love it. I decided to go with a very simple design, which involved painting the atomic symbol and number on each finger in different colors. For the base I used Wet and Wild White Creme, and I used my assorted (unlabeled) Sephora by OPI polishes for the designs. On the thumb I did Sodium (whose atomic number and symbol are 11 and Na). On the pointer finger I did Yttrium (37 and Y). On the middle finger I did Iridium (77 and Ir). On the ring finger I did Phosphorus (15 and P, yay phosphorus!! My favorite element...). Finally, on the pinky I did Neon (10 and Ne)! They are a little hard to read, but hopefully that should clear things up. Here are a couple of pictures:

The top picture shows the whole hand, while the bottom picture shows just the thumb... sorry if it's too hard to read!!
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this. I think I might be posting less frequently now, if that hasn't already been happening. I'll still try to post as often as possible, but I just don't have as much time. I'll probably post once every 1-2 weeks. Hopefully that's okay!! (o^v^o)
Keep reading for more nail art!!
