Private Show

Hey guys,

So I finally was able to find Pure Ice Private Show at my Wal Mart the other day, which is a dupe for Butter London The Black Knight!  I have wanted The Black Knight for a long time but just wasn't willing to dish out the money for it so I was so excited to find a dupe for it.  If anyone remembers last year around the holidays there was a set released with The Black Knight and Tart With a Heart and I saw a ton of pics using this combo and I loved the look of it so I used my Tart With a Heart dupe ( Nina Ultra Pro Holographic Topcoat).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poison Ivy

Oh goodness this mani is frickin awesome!  I can't even stand it, it looks so glowy and gorgeous.  I wanted to try Wet N Wild's Poison Ivy again because the first time I wore it I did a horrible job of applying it and I couldn't get any good pics of it.  So this time around I super nubbinized my nails and slapped it on being extra careful to not flood my cuticles, this one is really hard to clean up if you get it on your skin.  I felt like it needed a little something else so I applied a couple of coats of Pure Ice Heart Breaker over it.  Heart Breaker made this polish look insane.  After looking at it I wanted to try it with a matte top coat so I did that as well haha.  Hope you enjoy!



I used Wet N Wild Poison Ivy, Pure Ice Heart Breaker and in the last two pics Hard Candy Matte-Ly In Love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blurry so you can see how glowy it is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

31 Day Challenge, Day 28 Inspired by a Flag

I went with the American flag for this inspiration.  I figured this would be fun practice for next years Fourth of July nails.

I used Pure Ice French Kiss, Orly Dayglow, OPI Pirouette My Whistle and LA Colors Art Deco Red Glitter

 

 

 

 

Independence Day Nails

Ok here is another 4th of July mani that I like a lot more than the other one I did!

I used Sinful Colors Ruby, Ruby, China Glaze Ring In the Red, Pure Ice French Kiss, Orly Dayglow, Wet N Wild Hallucinate and a red striper polish. For the stripes I used tape to tape off the nail and make the lines as straight as possible and then painted the white on over the blue, I then took the red striper polish and added it above the white stripes.  For the little heart I just used a dotting tool and made the shape.

Acid Strawberries and A Mermaid Glitter Gradient

I have just a couple of random mani's today. 

First off the acid strawberry nails, I don't know about the color combo here but the idea is kind of cool I think.

I used OPI Did It On Em', China Glaze Four Leaf Clover, and Orly Frolic.

Ok this next one I guess I will call a mermaid gradient.  I was just experimenting with a glitter gradient that would look "mermaidish".  I know that I used Sinful Colors Cinderella as the base, also China Glaze SnowGlobe, Sinful Colors Pinky Glitter and Sinful Colors Call You Later, oh and Pure Ice Heartbreaker.  I used the glitter gradient technique and just layered the different glitters.

Hope you all enjoyed sorry this was a bit of a random post.  I plan on trying something different to get a better mermaid gradient, I just have to find the right combination for me to achieve the look I am going for.
