TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indie Friday - Sonoma Nail Art 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Welcome this week's episode of TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indy Indie Friday! Today is all about Sonoma Nail Art 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea! This is an absolutely stunning polish! This polish is also steampunk inspired! Another win! :)

Here is one coat of Sonoma Nail Art 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea over one coat of OPI Stranger Tides. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a gorgeous clear based glitter with blues, greens, and white through out! I love this glitter! The micro glitters remind me of tiny air bubbles working their way up to the surface! And this polish applied nicely! No need to fish around finding glitters here! :)

You can buy this polish any her other amazing polishes at her etsy shop here. And don't forget to visit her facebook page to here to be kept in the know! :)

And here is one coat of OPI Stranger Tides. Could have used one more coat to make it totally opaque, but I knew I was going to layer the glitter over it. :) It is a pale green creme, kind of like zombie flesh green. :)

TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indie Friday - Sonoma Nail Art Clockwork

Welcome this week's episode of TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indy Indie Friday! Today is all about Sonoma Nail Art Clockwork! Woot Woot! :) This is an absolutely gorgeous polish! I had to get this one because it was inspired by steampunk! Brilliant!

Let me pause for a bit as you pick up your jaw off the floor!................................... You good? Then let's continue. According to Sonoma Nail Art's etsy shop: "Clockwork takes inspiration from the fantastical gears and cogs of steampunk machinery. Clockwork is a glitter polish with multiple metallic shades." How perfectly spot on for a steampunk polish! Yes! Steampunkers around the world unite in a grand hurrah! :) It is a clear base with silver and copper micro hex glitters, gold and copper small and medium hex glitters, and copper bar glitter with a smattering of darker copper (almost a brown) smaller hex glitter! It is stunning! (Yes I know I use that word a lot on this blog, but it fits!)

I followed Sonoma Nail Art's advice and layered Clockwork over two coats of OPI Skull & Glossbones. Such a perfect combination! Wow! This is just one coat of Clockwork! The glitter applied perfectly with no issues at all! I love it!

Just a quick shot of OPI Skull & Glossbones (two coats). This is probably one of my favorite go-to polishes for a base! :)

31 Day Challenge: Day 25, Inspired by a Fashion

My Fashion that I chose to be inspired by is Steampunk (click the link to be sent to an explanation of Steampunk). Oh the great wonderful world of Steampunk! I love it! I even dressed up in Steampunk two Halloweens ago! For the base I used the wonderful Catrice Beam Me Scotty! I just got this on Monday and I love it! Though it doesn't say it on the bottle it dries with a OPI suede-like finish! I lurve it so very much!

 

Had to show a picture of Beam Me Scotty by it's beautiful self! It's a grey/green with a silver shimmer and a suede-like finish! C'est magnifique!

Here's another picture of the mani. I only used Catrice Beam Me Scotty! but used Orly Sec n Dry to adhere the clock pieces and gears. I love it!

                       

The picture on the left is one of the first mainstream Steampunk photos. And the one on the right is just awesome! :)

For a little more fun here are some Steampunk music videos, whether it's actual Steampunk music (Abney Park) or Steampunk inspired!
