Hard Candy - Party Central

Hey... I'm really loving the new Hard Candy polishes. I recently picked up Party Central, and Black Tie Optional up at Walmart. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first seen them. Every Walmart I visited never had the colors I wanted. The only thing I'm not really liking is this tiny bottle 7.9 mL for $3.99. I sucked it up though and bought two to see if I would like them, because I've never tried Hard Candy polishes before. I really enjoyed wearing Party Central. This may sound cheesy. When I wore this polish I couldn't help but keep staring down at my nails because it was like a mini party lol. Party Central is a very fun glitter. It mainly features blue, purple,teal,white, and pink glitters. I wore it over Sally Hansen - I Pink I Can, and China Glaze - Blue Sparrow. This was also my first time wearing Blue Sparrow. It dries matte and looks dull but with topcoat it really pops.

Hola, my lovely readers that are still here after my long, long, hiatus. I haven't blogged for many reasons. The main reason being , I'm a bit hard on myself sometimes. So I just decided not to continue to blog. Over the past year though, I've missed it so much. So I'm back. Now on to the nails...

I recently made a spreadsheet for my polishes , because sometimes I would buy a polish I already owned. So after my spreadsheet was completed I couldn't believe the number of Untrieds I had. So  I decided I would "try" to use one or two untrieds for every mani. I'm not exactly happy with the colors . I just grabbed and polished. I used China Glaze - Beauty Within from the 2012 United In Purpose collection. Funky Fingers - Mrs. Mint , and Finger Paints Are You Hoppy? from the new Wild About Spring collection. Are You Hoppy is a lavender Glitter Shard Topper. I had application problems with AYH , this polish could definitely use thinner. Some of the pieces were very large and didn't lay flat. Two coats of topcoat would probably lay the pieces down flat. But ain't nobody got time for that.

Day 14 - Flowers

Hello :) .... Excuse my absence, yet again.

I wanted to try something new instead of doing the dot flowers or the "c" flowers . So I decided to use some fimo slices that I've had for ages but haven't used. They didn't lay flat on my nails at all. I even tried bending them. I used my new 3mm rhinestones. They're huge.  I should have got 2mm but I still like them.

Day 13 - Animal Print

Hello my lovely followers! It feels good to have polish on beside base coat. This is my 2nd attempt at Leopard nails . These turned out much better than my first try. Last time I used a brush, but this time I used a dotting toll and it made it more natural looking. I think. Side Note: My nails are almost to the length I prefer the most. Then my middle finger just breaks. It's so short I can't properly file it square without it hurting. I usually cut them all the same length but I refuse this time.

Day 10 - Gradient Nails

 Hello!!

I started off with Sinful Colors - Pink Forever for the base. I then sponged on Sinful Colors Pink. What an an original name. After i applied the second color it still looked to similar so I then added Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Fuchsia Power. I really liked it. Pink is my favorite color after all.

Then I had to go and ruin it with my horrid stamping. I used Bundle Monster Plate 221. I first stamped the abstract looking design first on my index, middle , and ring finger. After my lopsided stamping I figured why not try this Chinese/Japanese?? stamp that's really cute. So I did. That didn't make it any better lol. I enjoyed using my plates though, haven't used them in forever.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Good Morning!

The theme for this week's PAA, Monday theme is Breast Cancer Awareness.  I love pink polish so this week was the week for me. I haven't known/lost any family or friends to breast cancer. But cancer in general has taken away several of my family members. I will definitely create a colon cancer mani soon in honor of my great gran that passed away from this disease last year. I love this mani, BTW!

  

Lines were created using a "Fan brush"! Got the idea from LOVE4NAILS youtube. 

I like both versions .
