Happy Easter!

Hey guys,

I can't believe it's already Easter, I always love doing an Easter themed mani.  Pastels are pefect for Easter and I love pastels soooo much!  I did a gradient, for some reason gradients screamEaster to me.  At first I wasn't sure that the color combo I chose was going to turn out, but it ended up being so pretty.  Also please excuse the white towards the cuticles I just could not get the yellow to transfer close and so it left some of my white base showing.

I used all China Glaze for this mani:
Base- White On White
Gradient Colors- Secret Peri-Wink-Le, Pink Plumeria and Lemon Fizz
Glitter Top Coat: White Cap (which is kinda amazing over gradients fyi)

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Raibow Water Marble

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of posts recently I have really been into doing much to my nails, but I think I am getting out of this funk now so I should have more manis soon!  This was my third time trying water marble nail art.  I really hate the process and I am not very good at it at all.  I like how this one turned out and it is a mani I have been wanting to do for almost two years.  Also I didn't tape off my fingers or us any Vaseline so sorry if there is some stray polish on my fingers in the pics I thought I got all of it but I noticed some when cropping my pics.

I used a base of Essie Topless and Barefoot, the for the water marble I used Wet N Wild Everybody Loves Redmond, China Glaze Papaya Punch, China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Essie Mojito Madness and Sinful Colors Why Not. I then topped it off with a coat of inm Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat.

 

 

 

 

Blue Mix N' Match

Hey guys,

I have no idea what to call this one and I know I already have a few mix and match mani's on here but I am drawing a blank, haha.  I was just playing around with my acrylic paint again and figured I would show you guys how this one turned out.  I really don't like the leopard print it just doesn't look right.  Anyways hope you enjoy!

I used Sinful Colors Endless Blue and white and pink acrylic paint

 

 

 

 

Girly Floral

Hey guys,

I am so loving really cute girly nails lately!  This one started as me just kinda playing with my acrylic paints and I liked how it turned out.  I used Orly Lollipop and China Glaze White Cap for the base then painted the flowers and leaves using acrylic paints.

 

 

 

 

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).

 

 

 

 

 

 

St. Patricks Day

Hey guys,

I did a quick and cute mani for today.  I used China Glaze Running In Circles for my base, I then used a large dotting tool to apply Revlon Top Speed Jaded and a small dotting tool to apply Essie Mojito Madness.
