Leftover Neon Nails (fail)

Hey girls. I originally started with a gradient using China Glaze Sun Kissed and Orly Skinny Dip. My gradients always look wonky too me. I keep trying with the same results. Practice makes perfect I guess. I never feel like I can wear my gradients alome so I ALWAYS cover them up with glitter.The glitter I used was China Glaze Graffiti Glitter. Graffiti Glitter is an emerald green color. It came out looking black in my photo's though. 

Cya next post!

Flower Nails

Hey girls .. Very late post today. I always post in the morning. I'm gonna attempt to do this Californails "Totally Doable I Have a Life" challenge. I follow this account on instagram. Lol, I just love that name. I attempted to do a challenge back in 2011 and it was everyday and I could just not keep up. Plus this challenge will help get me back into doing nail art.   I really need to make a instagram for my blog. I used seven different polishes for this nail art and I forgot to take pictures of the polishes. If you'd like to know the name I'll be happy to let ya know. The base color I used is China Glaze Kinetic Candy. Such a lovely shade of blue.

Overall I'm okay with how the flowers turned out. I didn't want to make the design to busy because my nails aren't very long. The two yellow polishes I used were too similar. You can't really see the outline. Well that's all folks. Heyyyyyyyyyyy to all my new followers :)

Rainstorm & Water You Waiting For

Hey.. This mani was inspired by Nails Beautiqued. She wore the exact same colors. I liked the combination so much I decided to give it a whirl. I've had China Glaze - Water You Waiting for quite some time. I didn't really like it that much. I only picked it up from Sally's because it was on clearance.

Sinful Colors - Rainstorm is dusty blue. I only applied one coat.  They surely picked an appropriate name because this polish does remind me of a rain storm. How cheesy!

China Glaze -Water You Waiting For is a very fine micro glitter. It has small pieces of green , and purple which can barely be seen. I'm still not in love with this WYWF,  its still "okay" in my opinion.  I think I'll like it better over a bright or baby blue. I just adore those two shades of blue the most.

Ruby Wings - Moonstone

Moonstone is a baby blue color changing polish. It changes color once you go outside. Once outside it changes into a soft muted purple. I was surprised that the bottle only shifted a little once outside. I thought it would shift completely into the purple color.  I purchased this color from Burlington Coat Factory for 5.99. I was surprised that they carried them out of all the places I've looked. I only bought one. I wish I would have grabbed a couple more. I enjoy color changing things, lol. I have this Coca Cola shirt that changes colors when you go outside. That tee shirt is my absolute favorite because of that effect.

It would be awesome if  a company was able to make a polish that gives you the ombre/gradation effect. That would be cool.

Monday PAA Mani - Crackle

This weeks PAA challenge was crackle. Since I'm not a fan of the crackle/shatter/croc trend , I didnt have any Crackle polishes. So I improvised and used Bundle Monster Plate 208. I'm happy with this mani. My stamping is slowly improving. I stamped with Konad White. The base color is China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. I love love this color. Its' so fablous. Blue may be my new favorite color for nail polish. I find myself wearing blue over and over again.

Day 19 Galaxy Nails

 I really like this mani. I didn't at first b/c I thought it was too dark. But it grew on me. I think I like this galaxy better than my first. I always have more fun when I just paint instead of thinking about it out too much.  Ciao!

After Christmas blue mani

I'm such a sporadic blogger . Anyhow. I didn't wear a festive mani for Christmas but I wore this mani on Dec 29th in honor of my great grandma. Her favorite color was baby blue. She would have been 79 on Dec 29th 2011. I went to visit her grave in honor of her birthday :)
 I have to get a backup bottle of this baby blue polish, Sally Hansen Barracuda. It's so plain and not to unique but , I just adore this color on my skin tone. Accent finger is China Glaze Dorthy Who. I should have used two coats but I didn't so its a little spotty.

Day 18 - Glitter

Good afternoon!

The base i used is Teal Envy by Nail Polish Max Makeup CHERIMOYA. Too long of a name if you ask me. This bottle is very similar to Kleancolors. I just adore this color. I've worn it 3 or 4 times. Which is a big deal b/c that only happens with pinks or blues lol. I was loving this mani before I applied Revlon - Blue Mosaic. When it first came out earlier this year i instantly fell in love. Now 3 months later I'm just now trying it and I don't like it against this base. Maybe they are to similar in color. 

Day 11 - Polka Dot Nails

GM!!

I love, love, love this color. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Barracuda. I had been looking for the perfect light blue. I need 2 back up bottles lol. Totally one of my "go too" polishes. The polish I used for the dots is NYC- Skin Tight Denim Creme.  It's also perfect for stamping. One problem i always have with dotting is the dragging.  The dots sometimes will leave a small stray line behind and it drives me up the wall. Any tips?
