MEGAN!

Happy Birthday to you Girl! I really hope you have a wonderful day!





So Megan at Painting Rainbows birthday is today (go say hi and wish her a happy birthday!) and to wish her a great birthday I put this manicure together I started off with China Glaze Lazer Lime I then stamped it with bm plate 14 with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sequin Scandal (that I won from Getcha Nails Did). I topped the cupcake with a glitter I had in my stash of art stuff...then topped it with a larger piece of glitter! Then I thought this is a party mani I need confetti right? so the bigger pieces on the side are supposed to be confetti ...if that wasn't enough I then added Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Hidden Treasure....ok here are the pictures!





So that's what I came up with I know it seems a little much to have on nails but when you are inside you don't see the holo...and outside the holo outshines hidden treasure. Ok so Megan I hope you like it and have a wonderful birthday! ^_^

Cracked up for my Birthday!!!

Hey Ladies, Anne here from SSP. Sorry its been so long  since I've done a post. I had a wonderful Birthday (thanks for the birthday wishes). For my birthday I really wanted to get out of my comfort box (at least for me) and try some crackle on for size. Pat has done this before and liked it but I wasn't sold on the look. So I set out to try something new.... And I loved  it.  I started off with a base coat , then it was Kleancolor in Wild Rose... let this dry for a while, serious folks let it dry!!! China Glaze Crackle in Cracked Concrete on top of that, I love gray:) I really didn't realize how long this polish look takes to do, but its worth it. So here are the pictures.....

China Glaze
With no top coat!

The final look! 
This polish stayed on for about 5 days with no chipping, AWESOME!!!! Everybody what do you think? I also want to know if you own any crackle polish that you would recommend us trying????

Peace Love and NAIL POLISH!

Today is a beautiful day! So a busy weekend is over now I have for you today is Finger Paints All You Need Is Color. I picked up fp all you need is love with peaceful purple! I so love glitter the colors of these wow! Seeing how I don't have glitters like these and the other colors in the collection (FingerPaints Peace, Love & Color Summer Collection) didn't wow me...So on to the info I swatched A.Y.N.I.C. for you over Ruby Kisses French White. I wanted to show you how it really looked! So my pinkie is showing off one coat, ring two coats, free-bird (yes yes my middle finger) 3 coats, and my index has 4 coats also these have a top coat and they are NON-BUMPY! Now if you want to wear this as a bling-tastic! manicure I would recommend either a similar base or a black base and you could probably get away with just 2 coats of this! On to the pictures!




I know clean up wasn't done! Sorry but since this was a quick swatch I wasn't to worried about cleaning it up and didn't notice until editing my pictures what a hot mess it was! I think I might be using this color in a gradient manicure soon!


So Ladies tell me what is your favorite summer color?


Also don't forget Birthday Giveaway ends this Saturday!
Until next time ladies have a wonderful day and enjoy your polish!

Paint Your Nails Pink

*This is my opinion (as is everything I post usually is)* So most of you know or have seen the picture about the CEO of J Crew Jenna Lyons painting her young son's nails hot pink! ABC did a story on it if you need to catch up. Everyone is up in arms about this boy having his nails painted and Jenna Lyons saying "Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink"...We all had/have our favorite colors I personally don't see a darn thing wrong with her painting HER son's nails pink! I have actually painting my nephew's nails with glow in the dark and matte polish before because he loves to see them glow! I personally find nothing wrong with polish for boys or Men! I don't want people telling me what I can wear just because I'm a GIRL! It's just nail polish people it will come off *rant over* so in support we have my nails painted with China Glaze Sugar High and Anne is wearing China Glaze Heli-Yum. First picture is Anne second is me ^_^.

Please feel free to comment with your opinions about this but let us keep it nice Ladies!

A Flying Dragon with a Fairy on it's back!

GOOD MORNING today's manicure my sister loves (she wears it on her toes but I DON'T SHOW FEET!) and since this is my sister's Birthday Month . I knew I wanted to show all of you this manicure look that my sister LOVED having on her toes last summer! China Glaze Flying Dragon (is a neon purple with blue and pink shimmer) with Fairy Dust (is a holographic glitter bomb) on top I believe that was 2 coats of FD and one coat of fairy dust! So here are pictures of a flying dragon..of course with my base and top coat was added.
oh hello little pinkie nail that shows off the shimmer of pink and blue from Flying Dragon!

I really love flying dragon (hey I'm a purple lover!) when I put it on but when my sister picked out Fairy Dust to go on top it shined!
I think it looks like I have a sprinkle of salt on my manicure here but when you get this manicure out into the sun it's bam! NEON..BAM! holo goodness!


I hope you enjoyed this manicure. Also I wanted to take this part of my post to thank all of you Ladies for stopping by and checking out what we have to say. I never knew how much fun just sharing my manicures would be and I want to thank all of you for leaving comments!

And to my sister thanks for doing this with me ^_^ and I hope you have a wonderful birthday (whenever it happens to be ^_-).

Alright ladies tell me what you think do you want a flying dragon with a fairy?

Hope you have a magical weekend no matter what you are doing!
