Bad Teenage Poetry: Voldemort

After some joking around on someone's Facebook post, I decided that it might be fun to do bad teenage poetry as written by fictional characters.  Let's see how that goes.  I'm starting off with the original from the Facebook thread.


One Day You'll See

Fun with Foil

Playing around with Matte Me Crazy again, I decided to try using it over a foil. Because, yeah--have I mentioned how much I like matte over glitter? No?  Well, you'll soon find out.

Anyway, I couldn't leave it plain, of course and did a simple inverted V in purple.  Maybe it's lazy, but I'm going to use  an edited version of the phone picture I took. It's about the only way this entry is ever going to go up.  Besides, I'm antsy to do some experimenting.

You can see that there's some shine on the purple because it wasn't mattified. Also, I'm still bad at freehand.

Christmas Mani: Candy Cane Accent Stamp

I'm way behind and should have posted this days ago, but here we go.  This was supposed to be a full stamped mani-- red candy canes on white, white candy canes on red-- but once I did the one stamp, I decided I liked the current look better than the idea of the planned one.

Christmas Mani: Stripes

I've been having more adventures in striping/nail art polish, and this is my latest.  Red and white stripes over a green base.  I had a bit more trouble with the white, due to it being thick and gloppy in the neck of the bottle.  There was also some smudging that waiting ten minutes did  not prevent, contrary to the nail art tip I saw on Facebook.  (Not that I believed it to begin with.  I tend to wait a long time before putting on topcoat, anyway.)

This also marks my first full-on gap mani. Not too bad, I'dsay.

Pink Wednesday: Freehand Swirls

I thought it would be cool to make some little swirls then add some strokes of green and ta-da!  Roses.  That didn't happen.  Instead, I just have some swirls. It's progress.

Plaid Mani

After I got home from my quest to find the other last bottle of Matte Me Crazy, I finished working on my plaid nails.  I'll definitely be more careful next time because these look sloppy.

Adventures in "Oh no You Di-int!"

Hey, guy, remember that mattifying topcoat I was so excited about?  The one that was the only one left at the store?

One of my nieces ruined it by adding nail polish to it.  None of them will admit to it, but the nail polish got put away immediately.  They were just wasting it applying and reapplying anyway.

I then hopped into my car and snagged the last bottle at a different store after having enough trouble finding the NYC display.  Next stop was the liquor store in the same plaza for blue raspberry vodka and tonic water.

At this point, I have one hand done up in plaid. Pictures tomorrow unless it gets messed up by then.
