Delicate China

Used:
*2 coats Wet n Wild, French White Creme
*Sponged on Opi+Sephora, Why Yellow there to make a more cream base
*Flowers (lightest to darkest)
   -Avon, Vintage blue
   -Sally Hansen, Blue me away
   -Pure Ice, French Kiss
   -Revlon, Royal
*Leaves, CQ mint green

For the flowers I used my wooden skewer tool and a cosmetic sponge for the sponging. I loved this design and it looked better every day I wore it, until it chipped. Though I wanted to fix it so badly when it chipped but touch ups only help so much and sometimes make it chip the rest even faster. Though I did were this look for more then three days which has been a record for a while, since I've been doing my nails more often lately. Especially since they've been growing faster lately too, must be the awesome base coat that I've been using. It even lets me peel off my polish with minimal damage, which is pretty awesome and makes clean up easier and faster.
Well I hope you like it and sorry for the tiny pics, I don't know whats up with them. If I can get them bigger I'll update the page but for now this is the best I can do. So enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Hide and Go Matte

Used:
*1 coat LA Colors base/top coat
*2 coats Ulta, Hide and Go Sequins
*1 coat, Sinful Colors, matte top coat
*rhinestones from aero nail art pen





I really loved the matte look of this and how awesome this color looked, especially for being a dark glitter. I love this color shiny too but I just wanted to try something different and the added rhinestone made it perfect. So i hope you like it and have a perfectly polished day.

Pastel Galaxies

The Process:
*1 coat LA Colors base/top coat
*1 coat of Avon, Vintage Blue
*Sponged on:
   -Wet n Wild, White
   -Opi and Sephora, Why yellow there
   -CQ, Mint Green

I've seen the Nailasaurus do a pastel mani in a million different ways and so rationally, I had to try one myself. I absolutely loved it and actually wore it till it chipped, which I haven't done with that many manis for awhile. Well I hope you like it and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Pepperminty Cheetah

Used:
*Ciate, Pepperminty
*Fingerpaints, purple
*Icing, silver
*Aero, black polish pen

This is a mani I did about a month ago that I forgot to post for some unknown reason. It was really easy and i used the pens to outline the bigger dots that created the awesome cheetah spots. So I hope you like it and have a perfectly polished day!!! P.S. I have some pretty cool new looks to post so stay tuned!

Foiled Cheetah

Used:
*L.A. Colors base/top coat (1 coat)
*Sinful Colors, Lavendar (2 coats)
*Ciate foil (silver and gold)
*Black Polish pen
*Handmade dotting tool
*Wet n wild, Wild Shine Top Coat

I recently started using a base coat that I got from a basket the past couple manis I've done and i have to say I'm in love. I never really used base coats before, since i never saw the point, but this has made my nails smoother and polish easier to remove. I've used it on every mani since the first time i tried it and i think i will be using base coats often from now on, especially this one. Plus it dries really fast.
For this mani i did my base, let it dry and then used my dotting tool to apply the foil fix in little dots. Then after the foil was applied I applied a top coat to seal it and then added the block outlines to the spots. I usually wait a day or two before putting on a top coat so that the black doesn't smear that much, which I also did this time.
I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Look at this cool image google made!

Purple Royale

Used:
*2 coats (Sephora and OPI, eve-y on the eyes)
*Sinful Colors Matte top coat
*Aeropostale, silver polish pen
*Blue painter's tape

This turned out really awesome and the pics were actually pretty good. It was very simple and easy to do. I used painter tape to make the shiny parts separate from the matte parts. I then dotted with my polish pen.
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!
