HUGE 4th of July Nail Art post!

Hey everybody I'm back with some awesome nail art for the 4th of July! Some of these manis include me using Salon Perfect stickers and striping tape that they sent me for review.


This first mani is really cute and pretty easy to do. I started with my base coat (white and silver) let that dry completely. Using my striping tape- I taped the nails and then went over them with the color I wanted( red, white and blue). Did my accent finger in Salon Perfect Speck-Tacular and BAM you're ready for the fireworks! I used OPI Color so Hot it Berns(red), China Glaze Scandalous Shenanigans(blue), Essie No Place Like Chrome(silver), and China Glaze White on White.

This next mani I had seen on Pinterest about a million times and wanted to give it a go for y'all to see how easy this would be to do for the 4th of July! I started off with the white tips ( I used CG White on White). After that had dried I used a nail tip sticker to add the top red (Hot Topic red, no name). I used the same tip stickers to do the curve in my accent nail- added the blue(China Glaze Dorothy Who?) and the red. After drying I added some star stickers from Salon Perfect. This mani was pretty easy and looks really cute!

Here is another mani that I had seen on Pinterest and wanted to try. Now mine isn't the same but it came really close to what I saw in the picture:) Started with a natural pink base and added my silver tips(Salon Perfect Twinkle Twinkle). The accent nail was pretty easy with red(OPI Color So Hot It Berns) and blue( China Glaze Dorothy Who?). After that had time to dry I added a star sticker and white striping tape from Salon Perfect. Really cute for that girl who loves just tips and wants to show a little patriotism.
 

The next mani is a great idea if you love red and want to have a little fun at the same time! I started off with my red nails(OPI Color So Hot it Berns) and my silver nail(Salon Perfect Twinkle Twinkle). Let the red dry and then added the blue striping tape(Salon Perfect) this part is a little hard but looks great when its on! Added the star sticker(Salon Perfect) and finished! Another great idea for y'all to show you're 4th of July love!

This mani is my favorite out of the bunch I did and really wished I had did it last so I could have worn it longer. I used blue(Salon Perfect Varsity Blue), red(Salon Perfect He's with Me) and silver(Salon Perfect Twinkle Twinkle) for my three solid nails. My accent nail is done by using a natural pink base- then using striping tape to tape off the part I wanted blue and painting it and peeling up that used tape and discarding- after that had dried I used the nail art stickers from Salon Perfect (the star, silver tape and red tape). This looked so good on that I really hated to take it off!

This mani is a super pretty idea for those people that need a little pop of color! I started off with a natural pink base and then added the blue(China Glaze Scandalous Shenanigans). After that had time to dry I added the red striping tape and the star stickers(Salon Perfect). Super easy mani for a 4th of July.

I hope y'all love these as much as I do and maybe even try one out for the 4th of July! Leave me a comment and tell me what y'all think of these manis and if you do one for the 4th show us on our FB page :)
Stay tuned this week for more 4th of July looks and for my annual 4th of July Water Marble!

Paper Mache and Kazmotology are for my weekend!

Hi all today I have for you my weekend Manicure (polishes sent to me for review). Today I have on Finger Paints Kazmotology and Paper Mache. Paper mache is a white cream polish that went on very smoothly in two coats. Kazmotology is a clear base with black, blue, green, yellow and red hex glitter. 

 Here is Paper Mache with Kazmotology (I patted on Kazmotology) without top coat.

This is Paper Mache and Kazmotology with a top coat...not much difference because Paper Mache was shiny to begin with.

So I'm going to wear these two this weekend! I really like the funky cute glitter...it has all those great colors in it. I hope you guys enjoy your weekend! 

You can find Finger Paints at your local Sally's or Sally's online store. If you are looking for Finger Paints online you can find them on Facebook, and Pinterest.

Salon Perfect Paint the Town Red, White & Blue Review

Hey everybody! Today I have the Salon Perfect collection Paint the Town Red, White & Blue to share with y'all, they sent me these for review. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays and with this collection you can show your patriotic love on your nails and create almost anything! There are nail art stickers, striping tape and of course nail polish with this collection, I'm going to show you the nail polish today and next week I'll show you some of the cool thing you can create with the stickers and striping tape.

Fool's Gold is a gold tinted base with tons of gold glitter (large and small). This polish is really a nugget in a bottle. The gold is spot on and with about two coats it covers most of your nail.

Speck-Tacular is a red, white and blue hexagon glitter polish with a clear base. This is the polish that Pat fell in love with and almost stole from me before the review:) With this polish I had to do tons of coats to get the coverage I wanted... which equals long dry time:( But it is super pretty and perfect for 4th of July!

Twinkle Twinkle is a silver glitter polish. There isn't much to say about this polish other than its a silver glitter bomb polish, pretty but again just silver.

Starred & Striped is a clear base polish with blue star glitter and red and white bar glitter. I loved this polish in the bottle and after I got it to go where I wanted on my nail. Great for a accent nail or all over mani.

Gold Leaf is a gold polish. After you get this polish on it looks just like the name implies. Perfect for those people that don't care for silver polish.

Grand Finale is a clear polish that has red, blue and holo silver bar glitter. This polish is super pretty if you have the time to dig the glitter out and let it dry between coats(you'll need 4 or more coats). Looks super thick in the bottle, just doesn't come out that way- had me a little disappointed.

Overall this polish collection is great combination of colors that encompass the 4th of July almost to a T. Liked them all but if I was you I would just pick a glitter and a solid color that you like and go with that, using these glitters(any of them) would be great for an accent nail.
Look for me again at the start of the week to share some of the great 4th of July manis that you can create with the stickers and striping tape from Salon Perfect.
Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of these polishes:)

Party over here with Finger Paints Kitchy Tangerine and Three's a Party!

Hi all today I have for you is a look at Finger Paints Kitchy Tangerine and Three's a Party (that was sent to me for review). Kitchy Tangerine is a great (two coats) bright orange that dried semi-matte. Three's a Party is a clear base with blue, yellow, peach, and red hex glitter. I dabbed Three's a Party on because that's how I usually apply glitter...seems to work well for me. Let's have a look...

This is Kitchy Tangerine and Three's a Party without a top coat. 

 Here is Kitchy Tangerine and Three's a Party with top coat.

I liked wearing Kitchy Tangerine with Three's a Party...not sure I'd wear Kitchy Tangerine by it self...well maybe for a pedicure.

You can find Finger Paints at your local Sally's or Sally's online store. If you are looking for Finger Paints online you can find them on Facebook, and Pinterest.

Finger Paints Art Deco Pink and Ka-Pow

Hi all today I have a great duo that was sent to me for review. This is Art Deco Pink and Ka-Pow from Finger Paints! Art Deco Pink is a lovely rose pink that dries darker than what the bottle shows (bottle shows a bright pink). I like the color but I was hoping for bottle color I can never have or wear enough bright pinks. Ka-Pow is clear based with white, pink, light pink and black hex glitter. Here are the pictures.

I wore these together. Art Deco Pink is two coats and dries with a semi-matte finish (shown in first picture). Ka-Pow was patted on my nail (patting just seemed to work better for me).

Here is Art Deco Pink and Ka-Pow with a topcoat.

I really liked the combo of Ka-Pow on top of Art Deco Pink andI really enjoyed wearing it. I think this is great for summer! The formula on both of these are a hit with me.

Lets hear it for the weekend!

Hi all Quick Friday Post. Here is my weekend Manicure. This is Color Club's Over the Moon stamped with KleanColor's Metallic Blue. Stamped with BM 315. Here are the pictures...

I did notice in the pictures you can't really see the stamp as much as when it's in the shade (in the pictures). When I had this in the sun I could see it fine. I'm a little disappointed you guys couldn't (from the pictures).
I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Watermelon Nails

Hi all today I have for you my idea from a very popular post Anne posted awhile ago. So when Anne and I received the Neon collision set to review I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! I started with Fired Up Fuchsia that is two coats! I'm in love!!!! Seriously a neon that's BAM in your face neon without a base of white and isn't streaky! WINNER winner chicken dinner! Here are the pics...

Here is the neon collision set...you start with your base coat let it dry...then you take the clear that is in the box (it's a bonder for the glitter). I then let it dry but not completely and put my glitter on (press it on with my finger). Then let it finish drying.

Here is the whole set out and about. You get a brush, bonder, and 4 neon glitters.

I also used the Black from Liner Basics made by Salon Perfect (also sent for review) for the seeds.

Here it is! It's my way of cute watermelons. First picture I didn't use a topcoat. After I put a topcoat on it ate away at the glitter as you can see from the other pictures. I added a little bit more glitter on top of the glitter that melted. 

So I really liked this..after the glitter melted I was sad. I think you need to be careful of the top coat you use if you are going to use this glitter maybe test it out. Over all this is an easy to use product but it does make a mess with the glitter. You can find Salon Perfect at your local Walmart. Thanks all for checking this post out!

Beautiful Neons!

Hi all I'm back with another review for Gelish Goak of Gel polish that was sent to me. Today I have for you Pacific Sunset. I LOVE this color! Same as Wednesday's post I used the Basix System to start off. These pictures are shown on fifth day of wear (as we had some cloudy weather when I put this on). Pacific Sunset (two coats) is a beautiful neon gel that I wore for a week and a half. I really enjoyed the color and the brightness that didn't dull with age.

If you are looking for neon gel's I would 100% recommend the neons by Gelish Pacific Sunset, Rub Me The Sarong Way, Mali-Blu Me Away, Lime All The Way, Tahiti Hottie, Rockin' The Reef. I would also recommend the Basix Kit as I had a little trouble using the gel without it.

Gelish can be found at your local Sally's or on Sally's online store. Gelish is on Facebook, Twitter, and InstaGram.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Gelish gets rockin' with Neon!

Hi all today's post is a review for products I was sent from Gelish! Yes I have fallen in love with Gelish product's. I started off with the Gelish starter System to prep my nails(products at Sally's). The Basix Kit pretty much (which includes Mini Gelish Ph Bond, Mini Gelish Foundation, Mini Gelish Top It Off, Mini Gelish Nourish, Mini Gelish Cleanser, and Mini Gelish Artificial Nail Remover)   which provides everything except the gel color and light. So I started with filing also lightly buffing the top of my nail and cleaning my nail with the nail surface cleanse. I then applied the ph bond to my nails and let it dry. Next the foundation gel went down on my nails and tips and I had that under my led light for 5 seconds. I then applied this beautiful neon by Gelish called Rockin' Reef that is a great neon coral (which cured for 30 seconds per coat in my led light) which was two coats. Next I applied the Gelish Top it Off  gel sealer and cured that for 20 seconds. I wiped off the tacky coat that formed with the Gelish cleanser and then applied the cuticle oil to my cuticles. Let's check the pictures out!

I went ahead and tried to do some nail art on the fourth day and used Gelish Lime all the Time, Mali-Blue Me Away, Rub Me The Sarong Way, and Tahiti Hottie. I liked the way it turned out. I didn't use the pink (Pacific Sunset) because I was afraid it wouldn't show up. 

I found the Gelish system very easy to use. I liked the product (which I kept on for a week and a half with no problems) and the ease of use. Gelish can be found at your local Sally's or on Sally's online store. Gelish is on Facebook, Twitter, and InstaGram. 

I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed wearing the polish.

Feeling a little grey!

Hey everybody:) Today I wanted to share my blue and grey mani that I manage to keep for about 5 minutes before I broke a nail and hurt my back. First a moment of silence for the broken nail (I had to file all of them down and now I have nubbins!) ____Silence____ Thank you! And as far as my back not sure what I did to it but it hurts :(
This mani is one I've wanted to try for a while and finally got the stickers to give it a go. I started off with tips of China Glaze For Audrey and painted my ring fingernail. After that had finished drying I added to the tips a line in Orly Decoded (love that grey!). I gave my ring finger a little more dry time just to make sure the tape would not peel polish up. Okay then I added my tape and painted Decoded on top (two coats) of the ring finger. Finished with a top coat and instant nail art!

This is such a easy and fun way to dress up you mani... love! I'm already missing my nails, hope they don't take to long to grow out. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this look.

Happy Polishing Everyone!
Love,
~Anne~

Neon Palm Trees

Hey everybody :) I just wanted to share a quick post of the mani I'm rocking this weekend- it's Neon Palm Trees! I have been doing palm trees for a couple of summers now and wanted to try something different with them. I started off with a black top coat let that dry and painted on a white palm tree. After that had dried I got my neons out and did a ROYGBIV (colors of the rainbow) on the white palm tree to make them look like rainbow trees. Added a top matte coat and BAM Neon Palm Trees!

I hope y'all have a great weekend! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of these neon trees!

Happy Polishing Everybody!
Love,
~Anne~

Who's ready for some neon?

Hi all! I have to show you what I'm wearing today this is going to be a real quick post. I couldn't decide on the neon I wanted to wear so I decided on using all of them. This is China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Celtic Sun, Orange Knockout, Pool Party, Turned up Turquoise and Flying Dragon over a white base. I wanted something unique for this mani so I did a brush stroke. Very simple and easy to do! 

The last two pictures really capture the neon-ness of these! I hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend! Tell me what's your favorite neon? 

Salon Perfect swatch and review #2

Hey everybody:) Today I have some more Salon Perfect to share with you, the nail art foil was sent to me for review. So yes I went to "Wally World" and found more neon polish sets and picked up one I just couldn't leave... I tell myself that I needed it to swatch with the nail foils :)

The nail foil pack comes with glue and 4 different nail foils- gold, silver, gold with a design and silver with a design. Today I'm showing you the silver with the design. I was really hesitant to use these cause I had never used them before, but its pretty straight forward, put glue on where you want and let it dry until tacky and clear- then put the nail foil over the nail and rub gently- add top coat (don't freak out if it crinkles up, it will go back to normal) . That's it! I was pretty amazed on how easy it was and how pretty it looked. Now as far as wear this is maybe a going out on the town kinda thing, mine didn't last as long as I hoped it would about two and a half days and then it started to peel away:(

The nail polish that I bought to wear here is Haute Pink. I loved the color in the bottle, but on me it turned a orange color. So overall I think the nail foils are a good idea if you have some place special to go and if it is a one day kinda thing. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of these foils.
