Summer melon

Used:
* kiss, gel perfect nail strips
* nyc, long lasting top coat

I'm not sure how I feel about these strips. I love the pattern, but they don't stretch so the tips tend to look weird and if you pull at them they get weird lines in them. I did add a top coat with these like suggested by the package. I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Jamberry accent

Used:
*CQ, mint green (2 coats)
*Sinful Colors, Ardoise (2 coats)
*Orly, wont chip top coat
*Jamberry nail strip

I keep trying to live there but I have no luck with them. They always end up with some type of bubble or don't stick right at the tips.
I do love how they look but they're just not worth it for me sadly. So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Watercolor accent

Used:
*Sally Hansen, How nude
*Kiss gel perfect strips 
*NYC, long wear top coat

I love the pattern for these strips but I could barely get them to work for me. I wanted to have all my nails the watercolor look but instead I just used the other pieces that came with it and one of my favorite colors. I love this nude because it's close to my skin tone but not exact which makes it look good but not like my nails are completely naked. I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Black French

Used:
*Sally Hansen, Shell we dance (2 coats)
*So rite, black striper
*Orly, wont chip top coat

This was a random idea that I then had to try especially with my nails being so long. I loved how this ended up looking. I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!


Black Cheetah French

Used:
*Sally Hansen, shell we dance
*So rite, black striper
*NYC, lincoln center
*Orly, wont chip top coat

So once I got bored of the plain black tips I decided to touch them up by adding some cheetah to the mix and I LOVE how the crimson and black looked together, I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Why yellow there

Used:
*Sephora and OPI, Why Yellow there (2 coats)

This is a swatch of this awesome color. I love this color. It's a sweet pale yellow that has a creamy appearance to it. The formula is pretty awesome too, it goes on like butter and is pretty opaque in two coats. I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Glitter tips

Used:
*sally hansen, shell we dance (2 coats)
*Sally Hansen triple shine, wavy blue (1 coat)
*So Rite, Black striper 
*Orly, wont chip top coat

With my nails being long I had to try another french with a twist so this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Summery ombre

Used:
*sephora, riotous
*fingerpaints,
*avon, vintage blue
*makeup sponge
*Orly,  twilight

This look is debatable for me. I like it and yet i dont love it. But it is an ombre and it is summery so its got two things going for it.

Stamping

Used:
*Sally Hansen miracle gel, Throwing Shade (2 coats)
*Sally Hansen french manicure white
*Orly, wont chip top coat
*stamper

This is just some stamping over throwing shade that I did on day 4 of wearing this polish. I was pleasantly surprised that it lasted that long.
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Overboard

Used:
*Essie,Go overboard (2 coats)
*Sally Hansen,  (2 coats, accent)
*Formula X,    (2 coats, accent)
*Orly, Wont Chip top coat

I scored this Essie polish for $1 at Walmart!!!! I was way too excited about it. I also managed to pick up the Sally Hansen miracle gel polish for that same price. I didnt get the top coat for the system though so I cant try it with that. Instead I used my Orly which works pretty well unless my actual nail peels, which happened with this mani to two of my nails on like day two. Which was ridiculous.
This was really easy to do though so Im not too sad about it. Its also a pretty easy fix.
So i hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Throwing Shade

Used:
*Sally Hansen Miracle Gel, Throwing Shade (2 coats)
*Orly, Wont Chip top coat

I love this color and the brush is fantastic. The formula is also pretty dang good too. I didn't buy the actual top coat cause it wasn't on sale but it did pretty well with my other top coat and lasted pretty well. So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Julep Swatch:

Used:
*Julep, Fazia (2 coats)
*Orly, Wont Chip top coat 

This was a simple swatch I did awhile back. This is the first time I've ever used a Julep polish and I'm kinda iffy on it. I love the color and the opacity. The brush is also quite nice. But the formula leaves a little to be desired. It's a bit on the thick side and it has an odd strong smell to it thats not in many other polishes.
I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!
