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!

Flower Power

Hola! Yes, I know, I haven't posted in forever, but anyways!! For this floral mani I used Essie Tart Deco (mango), OPI Steady as She Rose (a blushy pink/purple), Revlon #85 Minted, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #420 Yellow Kitty, and Sinful Colors #101 Snow Me White and you're going to need a tiny paint brush (preferably an inexpensive one because it can get a little funky after using it with nail polish). First I did two coats of the white and waited for it to completely dry. Then I used the paintbrush and just splotted little circles and did two coats of each color. Then I took black polish (I think it was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear) and dotted it with a toothpick, but I wouldn't recommend using that polish for this because it ran when I put my topcoat on it!! And I put the topcoat on like six hours after, so it was definitely dry! Also the toothpick created too big of dots on some of them, so I would suggest using the nail art pens for better control. Also, don't forget to clean your paintbrush with nail polish remover! (I did it in between each color.)
