Red, white and blue!

Hi all here is a quick red, white and blue mani idea for the forth of July. I started off with a white base. I then took KleanColor metallic blue and red and just dotted the colors around (then scrapped) on plate Llc-b (from llarowe...I don't think they are sold any longer). 



This was very simple and I think it turned out great :) Oh yea I'm really digging how this turned out..have a great day everyone!

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!

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.

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!
