Neon Leopard Print

This weeks challenge was leopard print. I had never participated in the weekly challenge and I felt inspired so I thought why not. Animal print always makes me think bright and tacky colors so for my base I did two coats of Sally Hansen Green with Envy. This is a color I'm not sure why I ever purchased but now I see why. I did the hot pink dots with China glaze Shocking Pink then surrounded them with Milani Black Swift. I am so in love with this I almost don't wanna take it off but I found a Hello Kitty tutorial I bet ya'll can guess what tomorrows post is : )

Mission Accomplished

Thanks to the wonderful Ms. Brittany at Adventures and Mishaps in the Land of Polish I decided to try stamping again. Thanks to her wonderful suggestion that for some reason I had never tried I did my first successful stamp mani. I have had this stamp plates since Christmas I got mad after several unsuccessful attempts and gave up. Then I saw a mani she had done and I had to try it again. Again with no success. Then she gives me what sounded like the most simple suggestion I have ever heard, use a gift card. I thought I had tried everything but nope! So I now need a bunch more plates all my images are boring. I went with the flowers off of the konad plate m60. They looked cute and simple and it wasn't gonna matter how I positioned them so I went with them. I started my man with two coats of Matte NA Fairytale (don't you love this color?!) and then went to stamping with the konad special polish in black. I love how these turned out, tell me what you think?

Splat!

Oh the splatter technique, it sounded so easy. Well it wasn't. I'm pretty sure its because I was using matte polish and that dries really quickly but I wanted it neon and those were the neons I had. So I had to figure out how to get the splatter technique my own way. I wiped off all the excess from the brushes and tapped the brush onto my nail basically just smashing the bristles into my nail. You get this weird splatter/smash effect but it worked. It doesn't look like the splatter technique like I wanted it to but it does look like tie-dye so I love it. There are lots of ways to do a splatter mani but this probably isnt one : ) Well enjoy ladies.

Pink?!

I never wear pink. I don't think I own a single pink item of clothing but for some reason tonight I wanted to be different. So I pulled out China Glaze Carribean Temptation. Its a pretty pink with a pourple chrome undertone. I did two coats of Carribean Temptation and there was still a little visible nail line but since I was goin to do some art I kept it at two coats. Then I used this new nail drying spray I got, I'm not sure it worked but it smells great. After that I did a diagonal line of white dots across my nails. I was going to do a write up on my Mash brushes as well but I didn't have the time to do it. Though I now have the best clean up brushes ever. Hope you guys like this mani because I really do.

Flakies!: Zoya Maisie

For today's pots I broke out one of my favorite polish babies, China Glaze For Audrey. I thought it would look good with the bright blue flakes in Maisie. I thought the flakes looked very small in the bottle but once on the nail they seemed to just disappear. They aren't a pain in the butt to get out of the bottle (no fishing). I did two coats of For Audrey with two coats of Maisie. Maise just doesn't stand out here but will look good over black. Maisie is my first Zoya but I don't think it will be my last. Looks so lonely on the shelf : ) Well here you are. I also got my Mash nail art brushes. There will be a very long picture heavy review tomorrow so be prepared.

See what I mean?

Pic is dark but you can see the flakes

Close up

Sorry about the dark pictures one of my lights blew so I gotta find a new place to take pics.

Spectraflair Top Coat!

Oh the possibilities are endless and I see I am already going to need another bottle. I got it for just a penny on Copious. I couldn't decide what color to put it over but I decided on Milani Black Swift. I have the urge to pour the whole bottle into a bottle of black because it kind of turns it greyish. Well with no further ado here is very first holo : )
