Wild Flamingo!

Hi all recently Anne and I were given the shot to review polish from Color Club..When I saw Anne review these I had a light bulb go off!! Flamingo and Wild Cactus would be so good together. I asked Anne if I could borrow them and this is what I came up with! I used a base of Flamingo topped with a sparse holo glitter top coat and stamped with Beyond (that I purchased myself) using Konad plate M57. Then using a dotter I made a few dots in the design.  I just love how this turned out. 

It's been so rainy and cloudy here I needed something that was bright and fun! What do you guys think?

Nail Art Wednesday.....Start of Summer

Today is the first day of summer! Let's enjoy it...For today's manicure I used a white base to get my color's to pop a bit more and then I took my pink (Electro Candy) and with a nail art brush I swiped downward towards the tip (stopping at the middle) doing all of my fingers...While my pink was still wet I swiped (with the same brush--but cleaned) from the middle to tip with my orange (Tangerine Scream)..I then repeated the process...this is how it turned out! 

I was then thinking of stamping since I haven't done it in awhile and miss it! So I took out my Konad M57 plate..and my KleanColor's in Metallic Pink and Metallic Orange..it seemed to fit at the time...coated half of my plate with pink and half with orange and stamped!

I'm not sure if I like how this turned out with the stamping...but C'est La Vie! I hope everyone enjoys your first day of summer! ^_^

What's on your nails right now?

Up All Night

Today is My Mom's birthday so I asked her a bit ago what she thought of my ideas for Christmas Manicures and she came up with today's combo! So Happy Birthday to my Mom <3. Today I'm showing China Glaze Up All Night (two thin coats and it was perfect!)  I love this blue! It's shiny and glows..but inside it is more blackened with blue shimmer...yes it's that dark of a blue!

 I then took out my konad plates because my Mom wanted a snowflake! M57 plate has 2 snowflakes! I took out my Konad special polish in silver just to give it a try because I had problems with it showing up! BAM! it worked but I also put on some spectra-flair top coat snowflakes but with the Konad special top coat it just brushed it away v_v but it's ok because it looked really good (you can't see from the pictures but there was a sparkle of holo on the other side of the snowflake that was so pretty!)

I'm off to Michigan tomorrow! Going to spend some awesome time with family ^_^ 

What do you think?  What are you doing this holiday season?

The Cat's meow!

Hiya! Today is a quickie.... I have  China Glaze Cross Iron 360 (3 thin coats pictures taken inside...first and third picture with flash second picture no flash)

I took this baby out for a spin the other day and I thought I needed a little Holiday MEOW! to it! So I took out my KleanColor Metallic's (they stamp so awesome!)...picked up Metallic black and Green...picked out my stamps and went to work! (stamps M57 and BM13) Now I wanted something a little different and in real life the spider from BM13 showed up great but went to take pictures (btw it's the green shimmery stuff you see on the nails is the spider) it just didn't turn out right.

 I like the Meow this manicure has and to me. It had just enough meow you could wear it with your cat costume this year or even just cat ears!

And I know everyone is checking out our Halloween Manicures! Just in case you missed it here ya go:

Russian Navy

I'm a sucker for blues!  There I said it! While at JCP I went into the salon and found out that they had a sale (yes while I was in Michigan) for buy one get one half off! now I love O.P.I I started collecting with an O.P.I. (I'm not really a waitress..and I finished the bottle!) so I looked around at what they had and picked up this because I have a need for an O.P.I. blue that my sister has! (Correct me if I'm wrong Anne but I believe it is "Yoga get this blue") Seriously I have love for that blue! well on to today's beautiful blue! I put on Russian navy expecting my usual 3 thin coats...nope 2 thin coats is all I needed! 

Now I couldn't leave well enough alone >. > well it happens < .< but this one turned out to be a winner not a fail which made me super happy! I took my SF Topcoat and konaded with it! I went looking through a few of my plates and found one that was perfect! M57 it was!

LOVE!! I love the look the sf tc is subtle but not! 

As always I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

What is your favorite color to wear on your nails?

Bring on the Funk!

Good Morning Ladies I know I haven't posted in a week (well I did take pictures) but I have just been in a mini funk with polish and this post will show it! Some times I just need to wear black I love the look (no matter my mood). So when I first saw this on some blogs I knew I needed it but it's a matte polish and we all know how matte polish wears...chips quickly right?So when Amber suggested using a top coat between layers of polish..I had to try it. I did base coat, polish, polish, top coat, polish and it stayed for 2 freaking days and then I put a top coat over it and then the next day Konaded it! Ok yea this mani lasted for 4 freaking days which is saying something! (thanks so much Amber for letting us know of the matte trick). This is Zoya's Dovima Matte which is simply BEAUTIFUL it has a wonderful shimmer in it that you can see in the sunny pictures! Here are the Matte Pictures!

Here I added a top coat you really can see the shimmer here.

On the forth day there was Konading! I used ip M57 with Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup in Aqua Chrome (this is an old polish that I'm pretty sure is very hard to find).

I wasn't completely sure that I would like this manicure with the konading because I have this little thing that I don't usually put blue and black together...but I love the look of Dovima all glossed up with a bit of wham from the konad! I'll be editing more pictures this weekend that I have taken since my funk ...also Ladies if you check out the tabs we have added some info on Konading...this is just a few things that I do/use when I konad...I'm also hoping to make a quick tutorial soon of the technique I use to make the fade look what do you Ladies think would you want to see something like that??

So Ladies let me know what do you do to your nails when you are in a funk?

I'll go first I usually wear darker colors or let my nails go naked (which for the past 3 days they haven't had anything on them v_v)! Ok until next time Ladies enjoy your DAY! ^_^

Wicked Sweet!

Today I have for you wonderful ladies Color Club Wicked Sweet from the Wicked Sweet Collection that I won from the St. Patrick's Day Contest that I entered on Color Clubs facebook page! Wicked Sweet is a very nice blue with blue flash that to me smells like blue fruit roll-ups (it has a really SWEET smell that is almost to much)! My pictures are 3 coats of Wicked Sweet, top coat, then I tapped half the nail and put on my loved silver from Finger Paints "Easel Come, Easel Go!", and I couldn't stop there I popped some tape back on and decided to play with my M57 plate...Here are the pictures!

See here it is one of the thoughts running through my head for a few days now my index is how I pictured it nice and shiny. My middle finger I put China Glaze Matte Magic because I just wanted to see how it looked. Ring finger has my konad blue special polish stamped with because I wanted to see how close it was to Wicked Sweet and it's pretty darn close that I would so wear this again! My pinkie has my konad purple special polish which I just put on because I just wanted to play with it I guess.

I have a few more things I will be trying out with this collection probably spread out in the next week and a half since I'm in the mood for summer and the colors in this collection scream summer (and spring) to me!

Tell me what do you think I'd love to hear feed back and know your thoughts!
Until next time ladies enjoy the rest of your day!
