Pink, Black, & White Multi Mani

So. I'm completely obsessed with this mani. It's super girly and fun and got me so many compliments! For the polish, I used OPI's Pink Friday, Sinful Color's Snow Me White, and Wet N Wild's Ebony Hates Chris. I also used Sally Hansen's nail art pens in white and black. For the pinky, I did two coats of the pink and then used the nail pens to create the leopard. On the ring finger, I also did two coats of the pink and waited for it to completely dry, and then used the hole reinforcer method to make the half-moon mani. For the middle and pointer fingers, I did two coats of the white and then did the stripes and polka dots with the nail pen. I really wanted to do a pink heart on the striped nail, but ran out of time and blah blah. Thumb nail, did the two coats of pink again and two coats of China Glaze's World's Away (part of their Cirque collection). As always, a top coat to finish it off!

Mint and Glitter Half-Moon Mani

Happy MLK Jr. Day! Hope everyone is enjoying their day off! For this super cute mani I used Wet N Wild's Fast Dry in #229C Ebony Hate Chris, China Glaze's #551 Fairy Dust, and Revlon's #85 Minted. This manicure started off as just black, but then it started to chip and I didn't feel like changing it, so I touched up the chips and threw on the glitter. (The glitter is awesome, by the way! It's holographic glitter and shines like crazy in the light!) Then that started to chip and I still didn't feel like changing it, so I stuck on the hole reinforcers and made the mani minty fresh! Top coat to seal it all in, of course!

NYE Mani

Ah I haven't posted in ages!!! I'm so bad at this!! Whatevs.... I'm just super excited to share my NYE manicure with you all now!! I already love glitter and anything that shines, so NYE is one of my fave holidays because it gives me even more of an excuse to sparkle! Tonight I'll be wearing a multi-colored glittered clutch, so naturally I had to have my nails match. For this mani I used black (my favorite is Wet N Wild Fast Dry in #229C Ebony Hates Chris... I usually only need one coat and it dries super quick!... Winner!!). Then, I did one or two coats of Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters (depending on the glitter disbursement on each nail). This is one of my absolute favorite glitter polishes A. because it has different sizes and colors, B. because it shines unbelievably, and C. because it's super inexpensive! Top coat to seal it all in and you're done! Hope you all have a good and sparkly New Year's Eve and a fabulous year to come!

Fairy Dust Glitter Ombre Mani

My favorite way to cover up wear and chips on my nails is to do a glitter ombre on them! They're super easy to do and look so pretty! What I like to do is first paint a thin coat of glitter just on the tips. Then, one nail at a time, I put a glob of glitter on the tips and brush it back. Finish with a top coat and done! It looks like a fairy sprinkled some magic dust on them, right?! The pale pink is Sinful Colors in Easy Going and the glitter is Nicole by OPI in Twist of Fate. Be sure to use a fine glitter polish for this and not a large glitter, as you wouldn't get the same effect.

My Birthday Mani!!

Again. I've neglected this blog. I'm trying people, I am. Anyways tomorrow is my birthday (my first one I'm depressed about) and I have these fabulous gold sparkle shoes I'm wearing, so duh, I had to make my mani match! I used two coats of Essie's Tart Deco (obsessed with this color!) and multiple coats (I lost count) of Milani's Jewel FX #531 Gold (just until it was solid)!!! That's it! The sparkles shine really nicely in the sunlight also!!

Leap Day Mani!

Happy Leap Day!! In honor of this extra day, I'm giving you all an extra mani! (Like one mani doubles as the base for another, sort of thing.) Okay, so I recently bought Sinful Colors' neon pink #920 and I was SO excited to finally find a neon that I liked! (The other "neons" that I found before just weren't that bright and, well, neon.) I did two coats of it and it was totally solid. Also, it dries somewhat matte, so that's good if you're into that. (I prefer shiny.) Anyways, I couldn't deal with just plain neon on my nails, so I did one coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust... it sparkles so much! So I left it that way for like a day, but it was still too neony for me (I know, I'm ridiculous), so I decided to pair it with Ulta's Smoke Screen. I taped my pieces of tape diagonally across each nail, did one coat of the charcoal, let it dry, then did a second coat and peeled off the tape right after I applied the second coat. (I waited to remove the tape after the second coat on one nail and it got too gunky and just made it gross and uneven.) Did one coat of my top coat to seal it all and done! It might sound complicated, but it truly isn't. I got several compliments on them, with one girl even saying she was going to do them the same! Hope you all enjoyed your extra day!

Hehe.. get it? Because they leap? I know, I'm a dork.

Oscars Nails

So today is the Academy Awards and I fully celebrate them. I plan on plopping down at five with my popcorn and computer, ready to comment on all of the celebs' outfits. (And obviously I'll be wearing my Oscars shirt, duh.) Anyways, I did a little ode to the Oscars on my nails this weekend, and let me tell you, everybody loved them. They are SO simple though, it's ridiculous. All it is is black polish (I used two coats of Wet N Wild's Fast Dry #229C Ebony Hates Chris) and two coats of Milani's Jewel FX #531 Gold. I got soo many compliments on it from complete strangers!!

 

 

These pictures really don't do the glitter justice at all.. It shines so, so much. I love it.
