Blinded By The Light....Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night...

I LOVE that song, one of my favorite movies is Blow, and if you have not seen it, please do! Well, this mani, really did almost blind me, in my car :) While on my lunch break, I did a mani of OPI DS Original over black, and then a quick Konad of the leopard spots, since I wasn't to thrilled with how my first leopard mani turned out.

This is what I started with. Seriously guys, if you can get OPI DS Original, please do!! It might not look sooo fabulous inside, but in the sun.....oh just wait and see. I actually just grabbed another back up off of eBay, for under $12. Not bad IMO, and totally worth it :)

Then I did the leopard Konad. Now, these next 2 shots are from inside my car! Okay, I wasn't driving, I was stopped in traffic. I have an hour and a half commute each way, with TONS of traffic, so I took advantage. I knew by the time I got home, there wouldn't be any sun, and you guys had to see this!


When I got home, I wanted to try out my OTT light, and see how it looked. Look, crazy holo still!!

    isn't that stunning - the length in your nails is nice. I love the other photos in the car, love seeing news angles. I take lots of nail photos in the car as well (although i don't have a blog)

    Funny story related to the song... I asked my dad one day in the car while it was playing "how exactly does one get revved up like a DOUCHE?" He was flustered and turned red, explained that it was deuce instead. "well what does that even mean and how do you get revved up like one?" He says I don't know and changes the station. Lol. Best part was I was in my twenties and knew what I was doing when I asked him that ;) I like making my dad blush. I'm a nurse, it comes easy! Lol

    Thanks you guys!! I'm so glad you all like this as much as me!!!

    Emer, thank you! I'm going to try and start taking pictures from different angles from now on for you guys :)

    Viki, it is done by stamping. Some just call it Konading as well. I have a tutorial in my 'Tutorial' tab under my header :)

    Anonymous, HAHAHA, Yay, I hope you have fun shopping, and all your new pretties. Whatever you decided to get :)

    Suzanne, I would say that IDK is a tad more purple, and opaque. Original, is pretty sheer, and I think looks best layered

    Stickers, awww thank you so much!!

    Monkey, Oh I know! I'm scared to see what the prices will be next year, lol

    Megan, YAY, thank you!!

    Leslie, HAHAHAHA, I can completely picture that! It's so mean, but way too funny!

    Did you happen to see Springsteen on "Storytellers" this weekend? He was giving a line-by-line account of this song and discussing the remake, with it's... "unfortunate" word. Pretty funny!

    Kind of random, but I was wondering if you had any tips on how to keep the edges of scotch tape manis from bleeding. I got pretty good lines but not anywhere near as crisp as yours and I'm not sure what I did wrong!

    Thanks you guys!!

    Courtney, I didn't, boo!!

    lnievin, I know!! I don't get why the best and prettiest polishes get the axe!

    omgnoodles, you MUST use it again, and soon!

    Erin, when i use my Scotch tape, I can easily see the edges, and whether or not they are down 100%. That is really the only trick. Sometimes it could take me a couple of tries, but I make sure to check, and remove asap after you polish over it.
