Sinful Colors San Francisco + Kleancolors Afternoon Picnic
San Francisco by Sinful Colors is a dark emerald green glass fleck. (The smile line is not visible in real life like it is in the picture.) This is two coats.
Then I brushed on some glitter! I used Kleancolors Afternoon Picnic, a joyful hullabaloo of multicolored, different sized hex glitter. I used one coat on all my fingers except for the middle, which has two, to illustrate how the glitter accumulates with each layer. The only thing I didn’t like about Afternoon Picnic is that the edges of the larger hexes tended to turn up, resulting in a fragmented nail surface. Kleancolors also smell kind of funky, but I’m used to it. You will definitely want to use a quick-dry topcoat with this level of mega glitter going on.
What a fun mani! San Francisco reminds me of grass so an addition of an Afternoon Picnic only seemed logical 🙂

Jewelry, art, music… and makeup! For me, these are all natural ways of expressing myself. The face is a canvas waiting to be enhanced, just like a blank sheet of sterling silver or clay. Here you’ll find an archive of my makeup looks and tutorials. For about 2 years I did my best to never repeat the same makeup (!!), so as you can imagine there are quite a few! I’m happy to answer any questions about how I created a look, product recommendations, etc.
From time to time I have makeup sales, which will also be posted here.
