Day 4-6 of 30 days of untrieds

The next polish I used a couple weeks ago and just didn't have time to post them so here is Cult Nails Captivate the glitter is pretty thick but nothing that cant be worked with this is 3 and 4 coats on some nails. 

Next is a beautiful creme polish from Gosh called Lavender Love which is a perfect name for it because I love this color! It went on smooth in one coat!

And the last color is lavender loves sister Gosh neon baby this make me really love Gosh polish they are always so easy to apply. This 2 coats and added some Hello kitty decals I got free from Born Pretty store. 

I hope you ladies like these polishes and are joining in on the 30 days of untrieds! 

New 30 Day challenge! Day 1 OPI DS GLAMOUR!!!

Hello Ladies I am back with another 30 Day challenge that was circling around the net and the image was made by my polish buddies on Facebook. This one is a little simpler then the last one since its not all about nail art and you can interpret it any way you like. I will be going on my own pace since the last one was a little crazy and I cant post everyday so I always falling behind. If you would like to participate please feel free to do so the more the merrier :-)

Day 1 is your Favorite polish and my favorite is OPI DS Glamour! This has been my favorite since before I had it lol.. I use to see pictures of it and drool thinking that it would never be mine. But my Polish bestie Jennifer came through for me and found 2 so we bought it for each other :-). It is soo beautiful and applied beautifully in 2 coats!

I absolutely love this color and it will be my favorite color of all time! I think I need a back up bottle because I want to always have it on. What is your favorite polish?

Day 9 Rainbow

Hello ladies this challenge is starting to get more exciting I wanted to do something really cool with this one but unfortunately I didn't have much time since Im in training at work and it doesn't leave much time for nails. So I did something I little more simple and quick. I used one of my new polish Jesse's girl Girls night out from JulieG collection and painted my nails except my ring finger. On my ring finger I applied some top coat and began to fill my nails with rhinestones in the colors of the rainbow. 

3 coats of Girls night out

I am not fully content with this mani but its the best I could do with the time I had. I wish I would've used the smaller rhinestone. What do you ladies do when your not completely happy with your mani and its late at night? Do you take it off and go the next day with naked nail or keep till you can do something better?

Day 5 Blue Orly Stone Cold

This is the day Ive been looking forward to because blue is my favorite color and Ive been dying to use Orly Stone cold from the new Mineral Fx collection. This polish is a must have its a super shimmery blue that was opaque in 2 coat and dried smooth!

Ok so I wanted to add a little something to it and what better then some flakies! I added a coat of Nfu Oh #53 now the pictures I took does not do it justice. It kinda reminded me of a polish Ive been drooling over for a while KOH blue universe. 

I added a coat of Essie Matte about you just for fun.

I love this mani and its probably going to be my favorite of this entire challenge. What is you favorite color? 

Hibiscus Nail art

I recently bought a sarong dress at the beach and it had such a pretty print with a bunch of beautiful hibiscus that I just had to do my nails to match. So I remember I had tried flowers like that after seeing a post on Ash-Lilly's blog and it was one stroke art using acrylic paint. I Youtube it to get a refresher on what exactly I was doing. I watched this video (yes its in French)



I got started I used Wet N Wild white cream as the base for my ring finger and thumb for the rest of my nails I used Zoya Robin. Its not perfect but I love how it came out!

I like it so much that I had to do the matching pedicure! I said I would never post pics of my toes here but they came out better then my finger nails. I took these picture while I was out on a canoe with my kids at work so there is already some chips. IWARNING TOES PICTURES!

Have you ladies done nail art designs using acrylic paint? if not you need to go to your closest art store and pick up some paints because it is so much it come out so beautiful and it super easy to make any design!

Shatters + Bottles by Shadow

I wanted to play with my new shatters so  I  did a quick mani I applied Revlon Royal then took out my Turquoise shatter and then thought to do some accent nails but i was pretty tired so I ended just using silver shatter for accent nails. It didn't feel complete so I added some glitter! I did one coat of Cover girl boundless color city lights and a coat of seche vite to smooth it out.

So I recently arranged a swap with Rebecca from rebecca likes nails and one of the the polishes in the swap was her beautiful fraken that she later named Rebecca likes cupcake. I had made an order from Transdesign.com and with that order I had got some empty bottles for Rebecca and to try to do a franken. As I was packing her stuff I had an AHA moment I thought to myself I sometime buy polishes because I like the shape of the decoration of the bottle so why not decorate the bottle.. I already had an idea of what I was going to draw because Rebecca love hello kitty like I do and her fraken is called Rebecca likes cupcakes so why not make a Hello Kitty Cupcake. I decided I would draw the outline with a sharpie and then design the entire thing with nail polish. Here is the begin of the the process

Here is all the polishes I used.

Final Product

After the polishes dried I added a coat of Seche Vite to give it some protection.I love how it turned out I almost kept it for myself but It was Rebecca's fraken that inspired this creation so she deserves it. I will be making more of these. 

China Glaze 2nite

Today I'm going to be showing you one of my top lemmings that I finally killed. A week ago I went dusty hunting which going to salons and looking for older discontinued polishes. The China Glaze OMG's and kaleidoscopes are pretty easy to spot since they have silver caps. I spotted 2nite and asked one of the nail tech about buying it.She first looked at me like I was crazy and then tried to find me a new bottle but no luck I insisted on buying that bottle so she added some thinner to the polish and let have it for $1.50.  I left that salon skipping. I couldn't wait to wear it unfortunately there was no sun for a couple days. I didn't use a base coat and applied 2 coats of 2nite and 1 coat of China glaze FF top coat. OK on to the Holo goodness!

I'm in love with this polish! What are your favorite holos?

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

I have a new favorite polish!! Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Pacific Blue is such a unique color It looks nothing like any of my polishes. The color is  blue but it leaning toward purple too.  I got so many compliments on this polish that I even wore it all week which is very rare for me I did remix it a little with some stamping.
The polish was a little running but its very pigmented only needed one coat and was super shiny!

1 coat and top coat

Stamped tip design from Konad plate M44 with Gosh Holographic

and a star from BM206

Whats your favorite blue polish? My favorite color is blue so it hard for me to pick just one but this one takes the cake!

Blue stripes failed mani

So I usually don't show failed manis but I just love the color of the polish I used and I didn't capture any pictures of it by itself. I attempted to do blue stripes because I was wearing a shirt with blue stripes so I went with the tape method. I had a hard time cutting the tape into strips as well as placing them straight. I used Wet N Wild white creme and Revlon Royal.

Any tips on how I can do this mani better?
