Call Me Sushii

So I've almost been gone for a year. Been lacking the energy to do nail art that requires more than a simple paint job.
This came into my life almost 3 months ago so I've only managed to paint my nails when I have help around.
She now looks like this coming to 11 weeks old....

Hope the new year brings more energy and inspirations. I'm aiming for a cheongsam/qipao look with this, to bring in some Chinese new year mood. Photos and blog post all done on the iPhone. Colors are fairly accurate.
Find me on twitter, suzieducks. I may be slightly more alive on that....

PD is nowhere near Wedgwood blue but i was trying channel the delicate feel of fine china on my nails.
PD is a lovely grayed out baby blue(or dusty blue or dusky blue) with subtle glass shimmer. it's also easy to apply but still required 3 coats for true opacity. i'm wearing 2 here since i liked the way the pinks in my nail beds glowed through the polish...

good gosh! Pardon the knuckle hair. MM did not cause me grief in application and that is all that i remembered. prolly 3 coats here but will work well with 2. seche vite will cause shrinkage but at tips and cuticles.
here's one of cat trying to maul me....
