Leopard Sugar High

Hi!


Now this is my fourth entry, Criminal Nails starts looking like a true living blog, and I love it! I even had my first comments, and yes, it made me smile like mad! I was on the sofa with my BF, showing my new stuff to him as he has helped me a lot to improve the baby, and then... I saw it: one comment. First thing I did was to yell "I have one comment" then, thinking about it, "is it yours?". It wasn't ^^ So yeah, a big thank you for Sneakerette!


Do you remember the first comment on your blog? Wasn't it orgasmic?


On to the mani now. I reversioned it like a bad girl, by simply adding some black leopard with Bundle Monster's plate 221 and a random black very very pigmented I bought on a tiny underground shop in Paris from an rather unknown brand called Make Me Up.


Of course, it's not a bad thing that Make Me Up was unknown to me, it could have been a happy discovery ;) And sure, it works great for stamping because it is highly pigmented, but... it really smells like crap! I don't have any Kleancolor to compare (no offense, Kleancolor) but this polish is the stinkiest polish I own, hands down.


I'm satisfied with this new attitude the leopard gave :) On the contrary some of my friends looked at my nails and seemed to think "Gosh! Please take my eyes out of their sockets!!". 


I have to say that some nail art is still not very popular here in Spain. We don't really have a tradition like in the U.S.A. or a high level of tolerance regarding other people's style, like in the U.K. or Germany, where no one turns back to stare at some trousers/nails/dyed hair/make up/whatever. Wait and see!


Have a good day!

China Glaze Sugar High

Hello! 
So today I felt like switching to a warmer color, I was in the mood for something bright and girly… And that’s when China Glaze Sugar High (from the Up & Away Collection) made its entrance.

2 coats + top coat. Easy peasy application. I totally recommend this polish if you’re on the look for the perfect summery pink.

This kind of girly girl color brings to my mind the commonplace that girls with long polished nails have to be superficial and brainless, which I’m sure any nail polish addict has been confronted to at least once. Especially when wearing in-your-face manicures and bright pinks. I don’t really care anymore; if the occasion so requires I place a sentence in the right moment of the conversation just to make clear I’m not a Legally Blonde kind of girl [I particularly enjoy the stupid face of people when thinking “I had her all wrong”, it’s just as ridiculous as their previous bias]. If not, I tiresomely think “again..?” and let it be.

Have you ever been confronted to this kind of situation? If so, what do you tend to do?
:)
