Copycat Nail Art

Hey everybody:) Today I have some nail art for y'all that I originally found on Pinterest, this nail art is a Copycat from la_manisera on Instagram. I just fell in love with the design and colors and had to give it a try:) 
I started off with all my "base colors" , the pink is China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Zoya Chanelle (taupe), Zoya SnowWhite and  Raven. After they had time to fully dry I did the top coats, leopard print and stripes also the dots (I used Salon Perfect Gold Leaf). After they all had time to dry again I used a matte top coat and BAM instant awesome mani!

I just love this mani and got tons of compliments from everybody that saw it! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Happy Polishing Everyone!
Love,

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? 

Palm Tree Tutorial

Hey everybody! Today I have an awesome and easy way to dress up those summer beach manis..... Palm Trees! This tutorial is easy and really just takes 4 steps to making the perfect palm tree mani.

Step 1  Super easy, start off with any summer color. I just happen to have a summer ombre on when I wanted to do these. In my ombre I used China Glaze Pool Party, Flip Flop Fantasy, and Sun Worshiper.

Step 2 is a couple of simple lines going from right to left. This gives you a base to start your palm tree and gives you the illusion of water.

Step 3 is the trunk of the palm tree. If you look at pictures of palm trees near the water the trunks are always curved, and doing this in the mani makes it look better than a straight line going up and down.

Step 4 is placing the palm leaves. This may take a little practice, just keep in mind that you need to do a slight curve in the leaves. I start from the trunk and pull my brush out.

















That was super easy! Here is a shot of the final mani ♥

I love this look so much! This really looks great as a pedi♥  Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani:)

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Nail Art Wednesday: Dots

Hi everyone! Today's Nail Art Wednesday is brought to you by Kat over at The Kracked Kat. She showed me this picture from this blog and told me to get to it. ^_^ So I said what the hay I can do this but I told her "you have to do one also!" Joint adventure accepted ...so we both got to work and here is what I came up with! My first picture is taken on a cloudy day where we where about to have rain (a whole afternoon of rain little did I know). So I couldn't capture the manicure like I wanted because it was very dark out. Here it is!

The colors I used above are O.P.I.- Fly, China Glaze- In the Lime Light, Flying Dragon, Flip Flop Fantasy, Pool Party.

So I figured I'd wear this for a bit and take pictures the next day! Boy was I wrong came in and BAM banged my new manicure with the door and messed it up! But I figured I had a few good pictures >.< nope but I do have that one to show you!

So I Started over another day doing the same manicure but with a brighter purple so it would pop more...and on accident I grabbed another blue (they are right next to each other in my melmer so I just picked up one)

The colors I used in this one are O.P.I.- Suzi Says Feng Shui, Finger Paints- Pop Art Purple, China Glaze- In the Lime Light, Flip Flop Fantasy, Pool Party.

I really love how each color just pops over the black!

Now Here is Kat's isn't it lovely! I told her that I will be copying this in the future...I hope you will check out Kat's post!

I love both looks so much! I need to get some more use out of my neon's before fall starts.

Are you still rocking summer colors or are you ready for fall colors?
