Water decals from bornprettystore

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around a lot... The weathers been muggy and grey and I haven't been inspired by anything! Works been alright and allergies haven't been the best either. God I love summer! That's a joke lol.  

Well I purchased a big amount of water decals and this was my first attempt to try them. You can check these guys out at bornprettystore.com.

I topped these over highlight of my summer by china glaze to get the nice contrast :) super easy to do.  All you gave to do is place it in water for 15-20 seconds and you will feel it slide off the paper backing. Wet your nail so that you can slide it into place more easily. Top it with top coat when dry and simple as that! Have fun everyone! 

My addiction to Polka-dots!

Hello dear readers! Today I have for you a multi-colored polka-dot theme I did last night for you guys. I was inspired by Issy's nails from our nail party that we had last Tuesday night. Almost using the same colors, I decided that it would be a little bit more interesting to incorporate a dark color into it. I used China Glaze- Electric Beat which is the blue one, OPI- I eat mainly lobster and OPI- Miami Beat.

I've been wanting to revise some of my old posts that I added in a hurry when I first started blogging. So with a title as my addiction to polka-dots I figured i would put them all together in this blog as well. 

This pink polka-dot manicure is done with Essie- Lights and OPI- Funky Dunky.

This polka-dot manicure I did for my boyfriends Ring ceremony when he was awarded his engineering ring. I had a black and white dress on with black heals and I wanted my nails to match as well. Everyone was quite fond of the contrasting index finger ;)

Party Blue!!

There's not a lot I can say about this blue except its STUNNING!! The color is from China Glaze with the name Frostbite.  There was a fundraiser at my old hairdressing school for the students to go to New York. They were doing blow-dry's and manicures and my old aesthetics teacher saved this color for me. She knows me too well. I had a blast that night. I added all my nail art the following day myself. Very party-ish nails. The silver sparkles I used reminds me of shimmering diamonds.  These were all out glamour nails! 

what do you prefer for a party?

Random Color Swatch: Make Some Noise!!

Todays manicure was from china glaze! I absolutely love this orange-coral color called Make Some Noise. This color is from the Electropop spring 2012 collection. The color goes on quite well in two coats. Great for the spring and summer but I found this color a little late in the year!

Electrify!

Hello my friends! Well I was sitting in my living room last night painting my nails when all of a sudden the power went out! It was a tad dark so I didn't get to play around and try some Halloween nails. That made me sad, so instead I did a beautiful gold and red sparkle accent nails with my trusty black from Essie! I used Electrify from the hunger games line from China Glaze. I would like to try and do one more attempt at some Halloween nails but time is running out! Halloween is tomorrow!!!!!! Well I was glad that I could have done my friends nails a few weeks ago.  If you didn't already check them out you can go in my archives and look for Halloween nails. 

happy Halloween everybody!

Party Streamers!

Liquid Crystal by China Glaze

Liquid Crystal 

OMG! This is the color I have been waiting for! I've been trying to find something that I didnt have already and here it is! This is my IT color! haha. Liquid Crystal by China Glaze. I can see this being a hit color in the cold winter, sparkling in the sunlight on a cold day. I usually go dark in the winter or very light and sparkly. Its a very festive color so guess what ill be wearing around the holidays! 

New polishes!!!

I found a pot of gold! and Indi-go with the flow were Sephora purchases. Beautiful sparkles, I cannot wait to play around with these!

These i have been dying to get! And I cannot complain, I bought them at a ridiculous price! I only have 5 out of the 6 but I'm alright about that.  There's Ray-diant, Prism, Liquid Crystal, polarized, and Optical Illusion.

China Glaze Electrify, Luxe & Lush, and Smoke and Ashes. These are all Hunger Games collection nail polishes, I just didnt buy them all! lol. 

This nice warm orange is called Opus in Amber by OPI. I'm not quite sure which line this color if from, it's the first time I have seen it. Or heard of it lol. 

Blue Blue Blue

Blue Blue Everywhere!

I didn't quite know where I was headed with this manicure. Its the first time I actually didn't have an idea in my head for my nails. All I knew was that I wanted something with blue. So I started off my manicure with Just Groovy by OPI.

When this was Completely dry I started to add my tape strips. I did the white first and then let it dry, and then did the two blues. (Russian Navy from OPI and Splish Splash from China Glaze) I found that it looked lightly still plain even with the white and blue stripes,so I added a small line of fine silver sparkles. To finish I used one coat of Last Friday Night by OPI's Katy Perry line.
