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!!!

Blue Slate

Used:
*CQ, slate (2 coats)
*Sephora, Jacuzzi (3 coats, accent)
*Spoiled, I have no reception (1 coat, accent)

Slate is one of my favorite polishes. The color is amazing, it has a pretty great formula and I never have to use more than two coats. Its amazing! So i wanted to do something with it plain but add a little flair as well so i tried out jacuzzi.
This polish is pretty nice. The color is great and it has an awesome brush. The only downfall is its a three coater since its kinda sheer. Otherwise though its pretty great.
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Day 27: Inspired by Artwork/ Hawaiin Lily

Used:
*Sally Hansen, Petal Pusher
*Sephora, Speed Dating
*Maybelline, Green with envy
*CQ, mint green
*Sally Hansen, Mellow Yellow

Well I went a little odd on this one and decided to play with stuff. I used dry polish to try and make a more layered look so that the petals wouldnt seem as flat as if they were just painted on. I'm not sure how much I like it but I knew I couldn't do a perfect rendition of the piece so I just decided instead to have a bit of fun with the prompt.
I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Day 6: Purple/ Violet Delicate China

Used:
*Sinful Colors Shine, Wisp
*Wet n Wild, Bite the bullet
*Avon, Loving Lavendar
*Milani, Rapid Orchid
*CQ, Mint Green
*Sephora and OPI, Evey on the eyes
*Sephora and OPI, Why yellow there

I love this look. I did once with blue flowers and loved it too so I thought I'd recreate it for this prompt. I also tried out a new polish SinfulShine wisp. This may become my go to white now. It has great coverage though the shine on one coat wasn't that extraordinary. Though I really like this polish! I hope you like it and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Day 4: Green/ Geometric Green

Used:
* CQ, mint green
*Maybelline, Vintage Leather Ageless Olive
*Milani, Art of silver

This is a combo of two things I dont do often but love: tape manis and negatives space manis. They always look so good. To get this one done faster I freehanded the green line and then used tape to put on the darker lines.
I also got to try out my other vintage leather by Maybelline which made me really happy! I love this stuff, it's just sad that if you put a top coat on it it ruins the intended finish, which makes the polish look so good. I love the finish.
So since I'm still in school I'm gonna take a day or two off after this one since I always have a lot of work to do. I'm actually surprised that I got to day 4 without having to stop.
So I hope you enjoyed this and that you have a perfectly polished day!!!

*Ulta, Fashionably Late (1 coat)

Galaxy Print

Used:
*Base Avon, Vintage Blue 
*Sponged Avon, Loving Lavendar
    CQ, mint green 
    Wet n Wild, French White Creme
    L.A. Colors, Electra 
*Newspaper
*Water and cotton pad
*Wet n wild, Wild Shine top coat

Well I'm not sure if anyone else was bored and tried something like this, but I decided too. Thanks to an extra newspaper sitting on my desk and having just done my bff's nail in traditional galaxy print. So here's what happens when you sponge to make an awesome pastel galaxy and then take a cotton pad you dipped in water to apply newspaper and held it done for a few seconds, then added top coat. 
I also left the accent nails alone to have one fun galaxy print nail per hand.
Warning though if you want darker newsprint you should probably add a layer of top coat after sponging and dotting and then do the newspaper. I think thats why the newsprint is so weak in my look. 
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!
