Multi Colored Checkered Mani...

Yep another checkered mani, lol. I wanted to use my Sally Hansen Prism Turquoise Opal again. Man, I cannot get enough of this polish! Just sooo many colors in one polish. Since these have been discontinued for years, I got mine, and a few other Prisms off of eBay, at a very decent price. Then one of my BFF/neighbors, Meghan, stopped over while I was in process of this, and suggested the OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte, for the squares. Even though I've used it a bunch lately, I agreed, and she was totally right!!! Then later on I decided to add a top coat, for shine!
You can find the tutorial here, that I did.



Here is Turquoise Opal over black. See.....so many colors!





Here is where I added the Lincoln Park After Dark Matte for the squares. Ignore the dent in my middle finger, lol. Not quit sure how that happened. Grrrrrr





Now with the top coat! I love SV, it evens everything out!





This pic is when I tried it out with the flash on my camera. I loved this pic!

Happy New Year everyone!!!! Another checker mani........

I really hope you all had a great New Years Eve! I had a blast and spent it with all our neighbors, which really are the best! I can honestly say....I'm sooo glad the holidays are over! Anyways, on to the mani. I know I've done a checker mani before, but I wanted to add more squares, instead of my regular 4. Yep, I love it, but won't do it again, lol. It took forever!!!  I used China Glaze 2NITE and Sinful Black on Black. Also, since I did this on my lunch break at work, I forgot to take pics as I went along.

Checkers anyone??

As you all know, I love using Scotch tape for my manis. Well I wanted something new, and that's when this came to mind. I used Orly Luxe and Sinfuls Black on Black. I absolutely LOVE this, and can't wait to try it with other colors. Below I also posted step by step pics, for anyone who wants to try this.



Remember to only do 1 nail at a time. I taped off the nail like so...


Then added my gold


Once you pull the tape off, you go on to do the rest of your nails, and add a coat of SV



Then I wait about 10 minutes, and then taped my nail off like so...


Added the gold...


Then pulled the tape off, as soon as I was done with the gold. Go on and finish the rest, adding a coat of SV again, when you're done


This was my final result!!
