Pink Flowers & Pearls

Well last night, I decided to do a subtle male mani, lol. What I mean, is a mani that won't stand out to much to men, since I have a big dealer meeting this morning, I didn't want to do anything too crazy but still fun.

For this I used, a base of Essie Merino Cool, Pure Ice Busted over top & then did the stamping with Pure Ice Outrageous.

This was my final mani :)

I started with 1 coat of Merino Cool

added 1 coat of Busted

Then stamped with Outrageous

and then, because they were sitting next me, I added some ivory pearls in the center of the flowers, on my ring fingers.

 

Polkie Dots with a Kick!

Yep, I said 'Polkie', lol. Now as you all know, I love polka dots, purple, scotch tape and matte manis, so why not do a mani, that has it all!!!! Here is the mani I did. I used Ulta Cocktails Anyone?, Sally Hansen Slick Slate and Essie Matte About You. I know I'm holding China Glaze's Matte Magic in the last pics, but when I was taking these pictures, that was on the end table, and to be honest, my butt was too lazy to get back up and grab the Essie, lol. Hey....I was tired and comfy, lol.

I started with 2 coats of Cocktails Anyone?

Then I did the polka dots with Sally Hansen Slick Slate and a Bundle Monster Plate

next I taped off half the mani, diagonally, and used Slick Slate again

Then for fun, I re-taped my nails, and added Essie Matte About You :)



looking for a sexy blue???

This is the other Sally Hansen Inst-Dri that I picked up along with Slick Slate. It's called Co-Bolt Blue. I'm in love *sigh*. It's soooo bright and glowy!!! I wanted to Konad with it, but decided to do a quick swatch for you guys first.

Here is my base for my mani, OPI No Room For The Blues, another great blue! Excuse the weird pictures. For some reason the camera INSISTED on turning my skin red for this. I took over 100 pics, and almost threw my camera, lol.

Then using a Bundle Monster plate, finished off my mani :)



More polka dots!!

** If you have emailed me, or plan to, I'm having trouble sending messages. I can open your message, and attempt to reply, but it won't send. I'm not sure why, but hopefully it will be fixed soon, I'm so sorry**

While I was at Sally's picking up some Gelous for a friend, I saw they still had the free China Glaze with SV top coat purchase!! YAY, so I picked up Secret Peri-wink-le, and I don't know why I never grabbed this before!! I love it!! After I did my mani with it, I just had to spice it up, I can't seem to leave any mani alone, lol. For the polka dots I used Sally Hansen Blue Blast :P

I just adore this combo and the subtlety of the polkie dots, from afar :)

Hello Kitty Funky French Nail Art thanks to Born Pretty

Here is another item that was sent to me for review from Born Pretty. It's their nail stamping image plate, M71, stamper & scraper.
Here is the mani I did.....How freaking cute is this!?!?1 You know what....I might actually leave this on all day! Yep, that's a record for me, lol.

Here is what I received. The stamper, scraper and the image plate

Most image plates have a very thin film that you might not even see. Just make sure to remove it.

and here is my nail stamping set-up, lol. I've taken control of one of our TV trays, can you tell. It works perfect though for stamping. Then I always make sure to have 100% acetone, my green coaster, for the cotton ball/pad soaked in acetone, image plate, stamper, scraper, and polishes I plan on using. Oh and after I took this pic, I decided to not use the Konad polish in white, but instead used black.

Grandpa, the pup, well 16 years young, we adopted a few months ago, just had to watch, lol.

Before I started stamping, I applied 2 coats my base coat of Brand 10, color #415, Pinky Promise

Now on to stamping. I used the flower image on the plate first, and used China Glaze Millenium for them. Then I used the cute Hello Kitty image, and Konad polish in black for that :)

Finally I did my black tips with Sinful's Black on Black and added a tiny rhinestone to her bow :)



I LOVE this!! What do you guys think???

Stamping with Sally....

Good morning ladies!! This is a mani I did last week, pre-break, I'm still so mad, lol. For this I used Sinful's Black on Black for the base, and a Sally Hansen Color Quick Chrome polish pen, in Turquoise Chrome, for the image. I used the Bundle Monster plate BM20. These Sally Chrome polish pens, work GREAT for stamping!!

Gold & Green Funky French

So to take a break from the Water Marbling, I decided to show you a funky french I did last week. Oh and before we get to this mani..............I BROKE A NAIL!!! Grrrr, I slammed it in a car door :( It broke my middle finger nail, down far!!! I'm debating on putting a fake on, or ljust letting it be, and grow out. I don't know, this sucks!! Okay, whew, rant over, now on to the mani. For this I used the brand 10, color #415 for the base, Ulta Urban Jungle for the tips, and Claires 14 Karats for the Konad.

This is 2 coats of the base, 10, #415

Then with the Konad on :)

And the final mani :)
