Gray and Pink Dots!

Hello All!

I will announce a winner tonight!! And Never fear, another giveaway will be up this week!! 

Today I have a fun mani for you, one that once again has been inspired by something. I have some really cool notebook paper that is white, but has gray and pink and white dots on it.. And since I love my dotting tool..

I took it out and created this!

I used three coats of Sally Hansens Xtreme wear in Wet Cement. Now, I never thought that I would actually use a gray on my nails, but I liked it a whole lot. It really made the perfect base for the dots. It went on super smooth as well.

After that had dried, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Twisted Pink, Sinful Snow me White and Sally Hansen Insta Dry in Pink Blink!

After that dried, I used on coat of Poshe top coat, which I really don't like. It just doesn't seem to work well for me. Seche Vite shrinks like mad, thankfully Poshe doesn't.. I need to combine the two I think, to get the perfect top coat!

I hope you liked it!! And that weird gray stuff on my nails, is just top coat.. you couldn't see it in real life!

Hope you have a good day!

My First Sponge Gradient!

Hello All!

I hope you are having a good week?

I am super excited about this mani, for this is the first time I have done anything remotely close to this! And it was super easy! Like, seriously easy. If I can do it.. So can you!

This is a sponge gradient! I got the tutorial from Neverland Nail Blog and she got it from Laynie Fingers. She is seriously amazing! Like.. seriously! I am sure when I first got onto her site I spent all night looking at her mani's. She is soo talented!

Okay, so for this mani, I did two coats of Sinful's Snow me White, and sponged over it, Revlon Blue Lagoon, Sinful Innocent, and Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Pink Blink!!

So pretty! :D

And pardon my index finger, I forgot which way the sponge was going!

 

Also, I apologize for the redness of my hands, I don't think light green is my color! 

 

St Patrick's Day mani!!

Happy St. Patricks Day Everyone!!

Here is my St. Patricks Day.. Skittle!! Woo!! :D

For this I used, 2 coats of Nubar Reclaim on my Thumb, then 4 Coats of Zoya's Ivanka on my Pointer Finger, 4 Coats of SaGreena the Teenage Witch, on my middle finger. 4 coats of China Glaze Paper Chasing, on my ring finger and 2 Coats of Sally Hansen's Jade Jump on my Pinky!! Woo! That is many nail polishes but I am not done! After all that was done.. I put on two coats of Zoya's Maisie, and then mattified all my nails!

And here I have a little Friend to help me out with my Pictures!! :D

And then.. since I was slightly bored and feeling creative.. I did my.. First ever Nail Art!!!!!

Yup, It's a Pot of Gold! I freehanded it using an orange stick and a bobby pin! Not bad eh? I like it! I'm super proud of it too!!

I used Sinful Black on Black and Snow me White, for the pot and the clouds. Orly's Glitz and Glamour for the gold.. 

I'm so proud!!

What do you all think??

A jelly sandwich!

Happy Wednesday All!
I apologize for the delay, but I have been sick, and haven't been up to posting! But I think I am finally on the way to recovery! Hopefully!

So you all know how much I love Jellies right? And I couldn't help but want to play and layer with them.. and so tadah this mani was born.

I started out by using Sally Hansen's Red Carpet, which is an amazing red glitter. After that I added a layer of Orly's Swet Tart, which is a sheer reddish pink jelly. I wore it alone, and it looked magenta to me, but here layered over the Red Carpet,it turned a beautiful red color!

After that, I layered Essie's Shine of the times, and then another layer of Sweet Tart!

The pictures don't really do this mani justice at all! You can barely see Shine of the times, but in person it was amazing!! So much depth and sparkle! I hated taking this one off! :D

I hope you all have a great week! :D

A Twisted Deep Purple.. and a cat!

Happy Monday All!
I hope you all had a great weekend? I did for the most part, on Saturday I went out polish shopping! But most of the stuff I got was for my Birthday Club, and a swap with another blogger! :D I did however find Green Ocean.. or rather actually..
My husband did! He got it for me! He is so sweet! Definitely what I needed after my terrible week last week!

Anyways onto the mani! :D

Here I used three coats of Sally Hansen's Deep Purple and used Hard Candy's Matte-ly in Love over it, to turn it into a beautiful purple matte color!! So gorgeous! After that, I put two coats of Finger Paints Twisted on my tips, and matte-fied that! :D

So pretty!!!! And Pardon the scratch  on my thumb, my cat and I had a fight yesterday!

Want to see the Little Darling who did this to me? 

This is Kevin!! My diva of a cat.. Yes it's a girl.. named Kevin!

Can you tell I like the Eiffel Tower??

Have a good day!

My Valentines day Mani! :D

Well First off, Happy Valentines Day everyone!! :D I hope you all have an amazing day with either that special someone, or someone that you love! My husband was super sweet and he let me take the day off of work! Now I don't have to deal with angry customers!! YAY!! :D (I work in customer service..it's a pain!)

Anyways.. onto the nails! :D So, there aren't hearts or anything.. But I like how it turned out.. My nails remind me of cupcakes at the moment! hehe :D

So I started with a layer of China Glaze's Ruby Pumps, and then added a layer of Wet N Wild's Hannak Pinktana and Pure Ice's. Oh Baby! After that, I added another layer of Ruby Pumps and Oh Baby!!

You can kinda see the blue shimmer that is flashing across my thumb in the first picture.. I love this layering effect! It's super sparkly, and super deep!

And then for the "clouds" I used Sinful's Snow Me White and Sally Hansen in Lilac! :D

I hope you all have a great day!! And Don't forget to Like My facebook page as well as leave me a little comment or two! Just so I know that people are reading!!

Happy V-Day All!! :D

Much Love!

A little bit of everything.

So for this mani.. I had an image in my head.. I wanted to do a half moon mani over some glitter..
And somehow, it didn't quite turn out how I pictured it in my head.. But nothing ever really does!

I used one Coat of Sally Hansen's Gem Crush in Lady Luck, and to be honest, I wasn't too fond of it. I don't think I like such chunky glitters. It just looked like it was a mess on my nails.. and a top coat eater as well! I don't have Gelous yet.. so..
After applying two coats of top coat, I taped off my nails, and added Sinful's What's your name. It's a black that has blue shimmer in it, that is actually really hard to see!
And after I did that... I decided it needed something, so I did a little cloud action, with China Glaze's Ruby Pumps. 

What do you all think??

Oh and a question, Anyone know of some good jelly polishes? I have Revlon Royal, but I would like a few more! Any suggestions? Anything but OPI, I can't really get my hands on those!

Also, I am thinking of doing a giveaway soon, once I have a few more followers.. Any suggestions for what you would like to see?

Have a great day!

a Follow up :D

So, if you couldn't guess from my previous post, I was rooting for the Patriots. But they lost :( Oh well, at least my nails looks good!
I used China Glaze's Icicle, for the base and then just took tape and taped off different sections of my nail, and I used Sally Hansen's Xtreme nail polish in Red Carpet and Blue-it.

I personally think my thumb turned out the best!! :D It was my first time trying this pattern! The next one should be better now that I know what to expect!

I hope you all have a great Monday!! :D

Inspiration.

Happy Tuesday all!

There are many things that I love besides nail polish, (*Gasp* Amazing I know!) For people who have known me more than a few minutes, they come to find out that I love a certain set of things. (It makes gift giving for me really easy for all my friends and family.) And what are these things that I love? Well, here is the list, it's not long, don't worry. I love the color blue, ice cream, Mickey Mouse, The Eiffel Tower, snow, fuzzy socks and last but not least, I love baseball, more specifically, the San Fransisco Giants! I grew up in California, (Northern California mind you. No, I didn't see any movie stars. L.A was 10 hours south of where I grew up!)

Anyways, you might be asking yourself, What does this have to do with nail polish? I am getting there! For my birthday in September, my Brother in law got me the most amazing pair of fuzzy socks. They are amazing! And I was looking at them one day, and thought.. "Wouldn't it be amazing to do my nails like that?"
Well.. here is that mani!

I started with one coat of Sinful's Snow me White, and then added a coat of Seche Vite, my preferred top Coat. After waiting for that to dry, I taped off my nails, and added a coat of Sally Hansens Xtreme wear in Sun Kissed. It's such a beautiful orange! Then I added another coat of SV. After waiting for that to dry, I used tape again, and added Sinful's Black on Black to my tips!
It looked good, but I thought it needed something more.. so.. I added a coat of the Magical, Essie: Shine of the Times. One final coat of SV, and I was done! Whew! I think I have about 12 layers of polish on my nails!

And here is what inspired the whole mani! My amazing Fuzzy Giants Socks!

I hope you have an awesome day! And Remember, Inspiration can come from anywhere! :D

How am I suppose to Polish with no air?

Okay.. so the Title is based on a Song.. "No Air" Glee does an amazing cover on it..

Anyways.. I hope everyone had an amazing weekend? Mine was alright. I wasn't able to find Finger Paints: Twisted, or Essie's Matte About You! I guess that is why they are on my wish list! I  might have to nudge my husband over to that list.. Maybe he could find them for me, for some sort of present!! Hehe!
Anyways, onto the nails..

So this mani.. started out pretty disappointing. I started out with two coats of Sally Hansen's Smooth and Perfect in Air (See.. the title makes sense now eh? :))This polish was not smooth, nor was it perfect.. In fact it was rather thick and super goopy and really hard to work with! Not to mention, it has a big old brush..I have small hands, and small hands equal.. Tiny nails! That big brush covered almost my whole nail! It was a pain!

And finally.. the color.. It was such a pretty blue in the bottle.. and ended up looking all.. white.. on my nails..

So.. I decided to improve it a little!

I used two coats of Pure Ice's Oh Baby! It's a blue shimmer, that is amazingly pretty, and then I used Pro's (I am not sure what the full name of it is.. I got it in Sally's.) in Opal. It's a pretty glitter..

I was super happy with the final result! Though the pictures didn't want to show the shimmers! <_<
It looks much better on! I promise you!

Have a great Day!

Blue Shield! :D

Sooo, here is what I hope is an original mani.. I haven't traversed that many blogs.. but the ones I have.. I haven't seen this.
I call it.. The Shield!!
During Christmas, I used this design for a "present" but after I was done.. it just looked like a Shield to me.. So, the Shield mani was born! 

For this I used Sally Hansen's Insta Dr in Blue-Away and China Glaze's FrostBite!

Please forgive my pinky nail.. The tape I used was a little thin.. and it broke :(

I hope you all have a great weekend! I am going to attempt to go to Ulta again! We will see how that goes! :D
Also, I have a question to ask of you.. Does anyone know of a good Orange Creme? I need it for a design I have in mind, but the oranges I have are super sheer.. and I need a good opaque orange! Let me know if you know of any.
Thanks!
Munchy :D

Gray Clouds

So, Yesterday I was on Blogger, and one of my favorite nail blogs, Nailside  updated with how to make.. Clouds on your nails! She had worn this pattern before and I LOVED it, but it looked sooo hard to do. However, she put up a tutorial on how to do it...

And I went home and did this.. 

Not nearly as great as hers..Seeing as it was my first time.. but I was pleased with it! I already had on about 4 coats of Wet-n-Wild's Gray's Anatomy, so I added Sally Hansen's Blue-It and Sinful's Black on Black!

And yes, I am intentionally hiding my pinky nail.. I messed up!! :P

Thanks for reading! :D
