When I was a little girl I loved everything that sparkled. It really didn't matter what it was, as long as I saw some bling bling in it. I even gathered all my necklaces and pins at one time and put them on all at once!! Well, after visiting my sister and her kids over the weekend, hanging out with my little niece must have rubbed off on me and brought all the need for bling bling out to surface... as evidenced by my way-too-blingy rhinestoned nails today!! weee... what the hell was I thinking??!!! (and btw, I did do my niece's nails in neon pink with Hello Kitty stamp, and some with pink/gold glitter! She loved them!!!)
Anyways... before my mani turned into disaster, I started with OPI "Yodell Me On My Cell", for the letter Y. I can't believe we're already in the last week of the ABC challenge!! One more letter and that's it!! (really sad face here)
Yodell Me On My Cell is an aqua dark blue with all kinds of aqua shimmer. Pretty good formula and it took 2-3 coats to cover up VNL. This little stinker stains though!!! I got a little on my cuticles and it was a pain to remove it =( I hope I don't end up with smurf nails after this!
And now it's time to show you my epic fail. First I stamped my ring nail and my thumb with the fllower design from Shany plate SH17. Then I used another flower design from SH16 for the remaining nails. I used Orly Luxe for all the stamping. That already looked a little overdone, but I had to mess with it even more and added rhinestones to everything!! The whole thing looked even worse (can you believe it??!!) because I used different color rhinestones on each finger, and then I decided to change them to one color so I don't scare too many people off. This is definitely not an adult mani!!! But I bet my 5-yr-old niece would love it!!! haha =))
Yep... I can see the horror on your face... and that's definitely NOT what I'm looking for in my nail art contest!!! (are you thinking of your entries yet????) Good thing I'm not working today!!
In any case... Yodell Me On My Cell was released in the fall of 2010 in OPI's Swiss collection. I bought my bottle at TransDesign and I'm sure it's available at other e-retailers.
For other blue beauties and non-fail nail art look at these!
