Spring Daisies!

 Hello All,

Hope you had a great weekend!

I got the pleasure to spend time with my sister in law (I hate putting in law, she my sister), Becca, today. We went to the Savannah Kennel Club's Doggie Easter Egg Hunt! 

We had so much fun,even more than our pups!

After we came home I  gave her a manicure.

She chose this cute daisy flower design on my BM10 plate.

 I painted her nails first with OPI Nail Envy and then put down the base color of 

OPI Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj Collection.

I used Konad Special Polish in White for the stamping and then used the Yellow to 

apply the center of the daisies with a dotting tool.

I think it came out so cute and perfect for spring and upcoming Easter!

Thank you so much for stopong by for a visit and 

I hope the rest of your Sunday is wonderful!

And the winner is.......Pink Voltage Neon!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

No surprise but the winner was the China Glaze Pink Voltage Neon!

I can not stop looking at my nails.

 I love this combo so much, but I have a feeling that this glitter would look awesome on any color.

The camera does not show how insanely neon this pink is but it is awesomely bright! 

Love it!

I did two coats of the neon but next time I will follow some advice I saw on Twitter and put down a coat of white before I put the neon polish on. It said it will make the neon colors really "pop".

This Cover Bands Lacquer Sticks and Stones is just a whole lot of black and white glitter goodness.

It contains large and medium hex glitter, bar glitter, square glitter, small round glitter and fine iridescent glitter. That iridescent glitter doesn't show up in camera but it adds a little sparkle especially against the black glitter.

Application was really good, I did two coats and only had to fiddle with the chunky bits a little to get them where I kinda wanted them.

Man, I think this is my favorite mani so far! 

I can't wait to try out on other colors!

Ok, enough with words and onto more pics.

Keep scrolling for picture overload if you would like to.

  I could not put just one picture.

So........Do you all like how it came out?

As always thank you for stopping by and have a great rest of your night!

I Need Your Help!

Happy Monday Everyone!

I got in the mail today my order of Sticks and Stones by Cover Bands Lacquers from  Ninja Polish website. 

It is out of order right now but you can get on their email list like I did so they can tell you when they come back in stock!

I couldn't wait till I got this polish! I've loved it ever since since seeing Lynderella's version which is called Connect the Dots. She though has closed down her site because she didn't know how to handle people ripping off her creations. Since I couldn't get her version I decided to get this "knock off" one. 

I can not wait till Wednesday till I can put it on. Why am I waiting till Wednesday you ask? I would die if, cause of my work, it chipped and ruined this manicure. This polish deserves to not put ripping at price labels all day.

Here is my problem, what base color should I use?

I love me some China Glaze!! My favorite brand!

China Glaze  Pink Voltage (Neon) Super bright neon pink!

 China Glaze Papaya Punch ( It is a little but more orange than showing in picture)

China Glaze Starboard 

China Glaze Shower Together 

China Glaze Spontaneous

I'm leaving it up to you guys to help me decide which one to choose. Whatever one gets the most votes will be the one I will do a mani of on Wednesday!

Thank you for visiting and 

have a great Monday lovelies!

Holo Teal Goodness

 Happy Saturday Everyone!

After having my dark hunger games nails, I wanted something bright and fun!

What's for fun than Turquoise Neon plus Teal Holo!

 

Base Coat: OPI Nail Envy

China Glaze: Turned up Turquoise (Neon)

KleanColor: Chunky Holo Teal

Top Coat: Seche Vite

Stamped: Sally Hansen Insta Dry: Silver Sweep

           Here is two coats of the Turned up Turquoise and two coats of the Teal Holo. I wish my lighting could do it justice cause it is so bright and holographic!

            

 I'm really loving these holos even though

 KleanColor polishes have such a weird smell to them. 

 I then thought it needed a little something but nothing too big to take away from this beautiful color. I was drawn to this cute little flower on my Bundle Monster BM15 plate.

I also liked it cause it had a Asian quality to it.

 And here is the final result!

I placed the stamp on the far right side of my thumb to allow 

for a nice area of the polish to show and glow.

I hope you all enjoy this manicure!

Thank you for visiting and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Hunger Games Flame Nails

Hello All,

I got inspired by Cute polish and her awesome Hunger Games nail tutorial so I decided to try it my self. IT is to represent the nails that Katniss wears.

Here is the link to her tutorial on her You Tube page: Cute Polish. This is the first time I have ever done any free hand drawing so be nice to me. LOL

In her tutorial she used a black but I decided to use China Glaze Store Cold from the Hunger Games Collection. I wish I could have left it be matte but I need to put top coat to seal in the flames decal.

I used a ziploc bag to free hand the flame designs on so that I could peel them off and apply to nails. This way my other hand will not look like a 6 year old drew on them.

I used a white first to create a base that will make the colors pop. The red is OPI Kennebunk-Port, the orange is China Glaze Breakin' and the yellow is China Glaze Lighthouse.

I let these dry for a few hours because they were "interesting" to paint and I did not want to mess up at all in case not dry. :-)

I found it easier to peel off the plastic from the fire tip end since I small amount to try to get up.

All you have to do now is place on your nails  and then put a topcoat on to seal the design in place!

Some people may feel that flame on every nail is too much so an idea is to just put on the ring fingers. 

I hope you all enjoyed this design! 

I can't wait till the movie tomorrow and I will be all ready with my 

Tribute Tee, Mocking Jay necklace and pin!! 

My friend Tiffany is even gonna braid my hair before we go to movie!

Yeah, I'm one of those crazy people. :-D

                                     Gift from my buddy Tiffany!

Thanks again!

I hope you all have a great rest of your day and as always, thank you for reading!

Half Moon Manicure

Happy Monday!

I wanted to use my new Ulta Set it Nude polish I posted about a couple days ago.

 It was just screaming to be used in a half moon manicure.

 It just had such a retro vibe about it. 

I think it came out alright for my first time doing one. 

You need to know that I am insanely picky and it annoys me that the lines and not perfect.

 I started off with two coats of the Ulta Set it Nude.

I did add  a coat of Seche Vite in order to speed the drying time.

 I used reinforcement labels in order to create the moon shape at the base of my nail.

I actually reused each circle. I just turned the circle around to use on the other hand. I have also seen people cut them in half but I got lazy. :-)

 Ignore the index finger of China Glaze Agro, I was going to use this polish but I just didn't feel it once I saw it on. I felt I needed to go more to traditional with the red.

I actually put the tabs a little lower on the nail cause I felt it showed too much of the nude.

I suggest you play around with how much you like on yours.

I applied one thick coat of OPI Kenne-Bunk Port.

I worked one nail at a time. Once I painted on the red, I then immediately removed the reinforcement label. At times I do not think I had the tabs on totally secure cause I would have a little bleed through. 

Like I said earlier, I like the turnout but I think I'll try placing each tab one nail at a time as well to ensure that the tab is stuck on well.

Are there any combinations with the nude that you think would look good? I may try your suggestion the next time I do it. 

Cheeky Jumbo Nail Art Plate: B, C and I

Good day,

Today I have for you the other three cheeky plates I had gotten. I am digging the images on these a lot more than the other ones. I got these off Amazon for the intro price of $19.99, I believe they are $24.95 now.

I did some testing with them and like the other three, they stamp extremely well. Like you can tell in the pics, they do scratch when I use the metal scraper but I really don't care about that since it is not messing up the actual image.

Plate B

 This has a bunch of circle designs which some people may find as repetitive but I love circle designs!

Plate C

This one has some really neat scroll like patterns and many show the reverse image to be used on opposite hand! Love it!

Plate I

I really like this one because of all the fun paisley designs! So freaking cute! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of your day!!
