Magnetix

Used:
*nails inc.  (silver)
*nails inc.  (red)
*nails inc.  (purple)
*wet n wild, wild shine top coat

I used two coats of each of these polishes plus one coat of top coat. I got these as a birthday gift and i have to say they go together really well. And even though im not a huge fan of red that is actually my favorite of these three.
They were relatively easy to use though it took me awhile to get them to work the way i wanted them too. They dry really fast so you have to be very quick when you put tge magnet over them. And you have to avoid touching the nail which i was not having an easy time with.
But i really did like these and will definietly use them again and again. Theyre an easy way to get a cool look without a lot of work.
I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Glitter into the New Year

Used:
*Rimmel London, Caramel Cupcake (1 coat)
*Essie, Not Just a Pretty Face (1 coat)
*Milani, HD (dry brushed on)
*Wet n Wild, Wild Shine Top Coat

I love this mani! It's gorgueous subtle and filled with holo goodness. I thought it would be a great way to celebrate the holiday and the dropping of the glittery ball that will drop at midnight!!
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished new year!!!

Christmas cheetah

Used:
*Wet n wild, haze of love (2 coats)
*Fright night, ruby red slippers (2 coats)
*Milani, Art of Gold
*Aero, silver polish pen
*Fright night, Black
*wooden skewer stick

This is what I consider my Christmas mani this year. I don't like doing anything too obvious and I must admit this turned out perfectly. I actually want to try the silver and gold spots on other glittery bases. It makes the look even more fun and polished then just using a regular creme base coat. 
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished holiday!!!













Splashed

Used:
*2 coats of wet n wild, white french creme
*Splashes
  *Ciate, pepperminty
  *avon, Loving Lavendar
  *Icing, hot pink

For this I used the cotton swab and polish remover technique were you add a drop of polish to a piece of paper or something, did a cotton swab in remover and mix the polish with it to make it thinner. I like the effect it made and enjoyed doing it. Though for a first time it was kinda of odd and a little hard.
I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!









Unconventional french

Used;
*Avon, loving lavendar (2 coats)
*opi and sephora, dance till fawn (tips)
*opi and sephora, why yellow there (dots)
*dotting tool
This was really easy to do. I did the two coats of purple first and then brushed on the tips with the bottles brush. Lastly i took my dotting tool and added the yellow dots to make it even more fun. I hop you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!!

Watercolor

Base: OPI, My Vampire is Buff

Others:
 Icing- Pink
 Sally Hansen- Blue Me Away
 Ciate- Pepperminty
 Opi and Sephora- Why Yellow There
 Sinful Colors- Matte Top Coat

For this I used the brush and acetone technique and I liked the results but I don't think I would do this again. At least not with a brush. It was awkward and didn't really do the overlapping that I was hoping for. Well I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Fall Foliage

Used:
    - Wet n Wild, Disturbia (2 coats)
    - unknown black and orange glitter (1 coat)
    - sephora and pantone, tangerine tango glitter (1 coat)

This was just a simple glitter comb that I did when I didnt have time to do a full out mani. I actually really loved this and wore it for a couple of days. It was very clean and the dark color looked really good with my nails at the length they were. I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!!








Glittery gold

Used:
   -wet n wild, haze of love
   -milani, art of gold (striper)
  -wet n wild, break the ice.
I started with 2 coats of haze of  love on all mynails. I added two coats of break the ice on all but my accent nails and thumb. I thought it would be lighter, but instead it was quite opaque. I then used the stripper to add al the gold accents and voila! A fun glittery mani. I hope you enjoy it and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Owl you dotty

Used:
*2 coats white (Wet n Wild, French White Creme)
*2 coats sheer pink (OPI, Bubble Bath)
*Polish pens with clear from plastic bags
*Top Coat (Wet n Wild, Wild Shine clear)

This was based off an awesome mani I saw from One Nail to Rule them All. It was of course a little different but I have to say mine turned out pretty cool too. I put clear on a plastic bag to make appliques that I drew on with black polish pens. I used a dotting tool to add dots to the other nails instead of making appliques for the other nails.
Well I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polish day!!!

  -Wet n Wild, Through the Grapvine
*Leaves (CQ, Mint Green)

I absolutely loved this design. At first I wasn't in love with it but after a day or two I was in love. I modeled it after my favorite Vera Bradley pattern. It's absolutely beautiful and have great colors. I made the flowers with my wooden skewer thing and sponged on some glittery brown afterward. It added a nice contrast to the look.
Well I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!
