Thunderstorm Nails

Hey guys,

I found this blog post my Pshiiit and I love how she did the base and I thought I would try something similar.  Mine didn't turn out looking really similar to hers at all but it was what I was inspired by.  This reminds me of thunderstorm clouds, the pictures also do not do this mani justice.  It is darker looking and the glitter looks ten times better in real life. 

For this mani I started with a base of Sally Hansen CSM Gray by Gray (not sure if this one is available anymore since the CSM line was redesigned).  I sponged OPI Do You Lilac It?,  Essie Turquoise and Caicos, and Color Club Get A Clue on random spots on my nails using small cut pieces of cosmetic sponge. I then topped them off with Sally Hansen CSM Snow Globe over the entire nail.  The technique for this mani is similar to doing galaxy nails, however the are some differences so I may post a tutorial on this one for you all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Birthday Nails

Hey guys,

My moms Birthday is today so I decided to do a fun mani for it.  I wanted glitter obviously and I have been really wanting to try a darker base with a lighter glitter.  I also wanted to mattify it because I love the way glitter looks with matte top coat!

I used China Glaze Stone Cold, Lush Lacquer Slumber Party, and Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love top coat

 

 

 

 

 

Nightmare Before Christmas

I love The Nightmare Before Christmas, it is one of my favorites around Halloween and Christmas haha.  I went with a Jack and Sally inspired mani.  It was hard to decide on exactly how to do this one but I like what I went with.  Sorry for the Jack face not being the best, my polish was drying too fast so it was getting tacky as I was trying to paint the eyes.

I used Wet N Wild Black Creme, Orly Au Champagne, China Glaze Electric Beat, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Grey Area, and white and black striper polishes.

 

 

 

 

31 Day Challenge, Day 18 Half Moons

I haven't done a half moon mani in forever, so I am a little rusty at it.   Also this cloudy overcast weather is killing me, it is so hard to get good pics with no sunlight!  I used the little french manicure guides for this one and I am not sure if it was the guides or something I did but they didn't turn out as curved as I would have like them to be.

I used China Glaze Stone Cold and Wet N Wild Disturbia

I have the other Lush Lacquer that I purchased to show you all today.  I love this one, it is mix of matte white, pink and blue glitters.  I had a hard time choosing a base color for this one though.  I think a pastel blue or a pale pink would look nice with this but I chose a blue-toned gray for my mani. 


I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Gray By Gray and Lush Lacquer Mr. Bubble
