Scofflaw Steps

Hey all,

Of course as soon as the weekend approaches, so do the rain clouds.

Was it me? Did I do it?

Should I not have said "let's go to a lake this weekend"?

Is it because I just received polish I want to swatch in the sun? 

How did I anger the weather gods and what can I do to set things right?

If there's a rain dance, there must also be a sun dance.

And if there is I hope it involves lots of headbanging.

During a recent sale I decided to try out some NailVinyls.

I LOVE tape manis. They're the first kind of nail art I tried and excelled at.

But I hate cutting out pieces of tape. It's so finicky and time consuming.

If you're with me on this you'll love NailVinyls!

They have quite an awesome assortment of vinyls for all your tape mani needs.

Lightening bolts, chevrons, classic french tips... something for everyone.

 For my first try I decided on a simple getting to know you manicure.

I used a base of A England - Encore Margot then laid down Chevron vinyls
and covered it in Scofflaw - Love Letter From Scofflaw

Love Letter from Scofflaw is a super interesting black polish loaded with silver flecks & red and pink sparkles.
I really love the warmth it has, like the glow of dyeing embers.
 

 

And the nail vinyls worked perfectly! Such a breeze to use.

I highly recommend for all tape mani aficionados.

Next time I'm trying out the lightening bolts! So excited.

 

Alright people, I'm off to the dentist now.

Yep, on a Saturday morning because I'm a masochist.

Have a good one!

Breath of Creampuff or Ruff Tough Spring

 Hey all,

Another lazy late night post coming your way.

I paired two amazing indies for the ultimate in spring looks.

This is the manicure I wore for my getaway two weeks ago.

I had it all planned at least a week in advance.

(yep, I'm that kind of crazy.)

 

Say hello to Scofflaw - Ruff Tough Creampuff

covered in Model City Polish - Breath of Spring 

 

Breath of Spring has pink and blue micro glitter and squares, blues hexes, pink and purple circles

And the cherry on top, holographic pigment.

Which makes a lovely addition to Creampuff's stunning shimmer.

If this polish was a bouquet, the holo pigment would be Baby's Breath. <3

 

 This was everything I'd hoped it would be and more. I'm in love with Breath of Spring.

It echoes the colours of clear skies, cherry blossoms and sunshine.

There is nothing else quite like it.

 

 

Alright, that's it, time to pass out.

Have a great night!

Hey all,

 Tonight I have another polish combo I couldn't get out of my head.

It kept nagging at me. Like getting a song stuck in your head.

So let's get it out of my system.

 

Zoya - Rue topped with Scofflaw - Happy Little Tree

Mattified with Essie - Matte About You

 

Initially I wasn't a fan of Happy Little Tree. I'm not a huge glitter topper person.

But the more swatches I saw, the more it grew on me.

The pale yellow, grey, gunmetal, aqua and pale green glitter combo feels so vintage to me.

Like the colours cars from the 50's & 60's. Chrome with pale yellow? I love that shit.

 

And for some reason I had to put matte topcoat on right away. Which is unusual for me.

But this combination screamed matte or nothing!

 

 Rue is such a fantastic neutral pink. Understated and classic.

What do you think of this combo?

 

And now for something completely different.

This is the first time I've done anything like this.

But it has been percolating for many years.

 Last night I recorded my alter ego lip-synching to a song.

Drag kinging it up.

When Lucas asked to see, I was absolutely terrified.

To have such a strong reaction, to do something I've wanted to do for so long, is pretty screwed up.

There's something about drawing on eyebrows and a moustache that makes me feel like I' m totally naked.

So I'm going to make myself even more uncomfortable and share this with all of you.

I'd like you to meet Lux Vortex.

Where the angry punk and the absurdist artist in me combine.

Ok, well I'm going to hyperventilate a bit and wonder why did I post that?!

The Sagittarius loves playing the clown and does it quite well,

 but the Scorpio unnerves itself with over thinking.

All that matters is that some of you think this is even remotely funny.

Oh gosh... why did I do this...

Peaches n' Creampuff

Hey all,

Here's something really luxurious.

 

Sinister Benediction - The One Ring & Scofflaw Nail Varnish - Ruff Tuff Creampuff

together in a tape mani I can't help but refer to as Peaches n' Creampuff

I used Creampuff as my base colour, two coats for opacity.

This nude has some fantastic peach shimmer that really pops with topcoat.

It's just so damn cute! Without being cutesy. Just feminine, delicate and sophisticated.

Once Creampuff was dry I used a couple pieces of tape and applied The One Ring.

This polish is also extraordinary, red glass fleck gives it a warmth and wonder of no other gold.

I'm not a LOTR geek, but... this polish seriously makes me think "my preciousssss..."

 

I felt pretty damn posh and angelic wearing this. What a great combo hey?

I had a feeling they would go well together, but it's like they were made for each other!

A polish match made in heaven.

 

Hope you're having a good Monday.

Back to work for me tomorrow. :)

Bring it on.
