Striped

Used:

*Maybelline, Coral Crush (2 coats)

*Sally Hansen, white striper

*Sally Hansen, Grey Area (2 coats)

*Julie G, jet set top coat

Here's a quick look with some of my favorite colors. I love Grey Area so much and I wanted to do an opposite accent nail idea. So instead of making the accent neon I made it neutral and everything else kind of a neon. 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 20: Water Marble/ Water Marble Decal

Used:
*Orly, polo princess
*Sinful Colors, Lavendar
*Maybelline, Green with Envy
*Deborah Lippman, On the Beach
*Maybelline, Coral Crush
*Wet n Wild, French White Creme
*Sinful Colors, Wisp (1 coat, base color)

Well I had to try something a little different for this cause I hate water marbling. Well it's more like I can't do it and I have tried, multiple times. It never works for me and I have no clue why. So I decided to try it this way. I put drops of polish on a plastic bag that I have taped on to the back of a clipboard and mixed the polish up to create decals. They turned out better than I expected but they didn't mix the way I actually wanted them to.
So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Day 8: Metallic/ Vintage Leather Shine

Used:
*Maybelline, Sage Staple (2 coats)

Today I decided to go with a simple accent that also allowed me to try out this vintage leather polish. I love the finish to this polish!!! So I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

The color is more like the other pictures, this just shows it with longer nails.

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!!!

Closest to actual mint green polish color

Matte Candy Striper

Process:
*1 coat Avon, Vintage Blue
*Cut up small pieces of blue painter's tape (easier to see and use for me)
*Painted on Maybelline, Coral Crush on 3 nails
*Painted on Maybelline, Green with Envy on other two nails
*1 coat, Orly Twilight
*1 coat Sinful Colors, matte top coat

I didn't wear this very long but I did really like it. The pictures don't really show the green on the blue, but it is there. And the matte made the look work out better than I expected. So i hope you enjoyed and have a perfectly polished day!!!

My 101th post

Well i didnt even know it, but im up to 101 posts!!! So in honor of my awesomeness I did a mani with two of my favorite colors, purple and black.
Needed:
*Black base- twilight rays by Maybelline Color Show(2 coats)
         This is a beautiful black filled with gold micro glitters.
*Dotting color- Loving Lavender by Avon
          This is a perfect lavender that can be opaque in one coat.
*Accent nail- Hi- Res by Milani (holo) (2 coats over 2 coats Twilight Rays)
           A violet holo polish that makes this look even more unique.
I love this mani. Especially the polish colors. Im also in love with the holoness of hi res. It might not be great compared to some but it is still absolutely stunning and shows the whole rainbow in the sun.
Well i hope u have a perfectly polished day!!!

Fail at watercolor nails

Used:
Vintage blue by Avon
Maybelline coral crush
Maybelline green with envy
Loving lavender by Avon
I used a cosmetic square and randomly dabbed with the above colors. It doesnt look as good as i wanted it too but ill survive. For these pics i didnt add a top coat to show the texture it makes but i prob will to make it easier to remove.
Enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!

Coral crush

I recently got my hands on a coral color which i have been wanting for a long while now. This is by maybelline color show and is called coral crush. The formula was a little streaky but dried quite fast which made the three coats a little less of a pain to do.
You can still kind of see the tips wih three coats with is a little annoying and the polish dries with a more matte finish than shiny.
I bought two other polishes from this brand and since they were on sale for $.99 which made it worth it. I will probably layer with the other two though to keep from having to do so many coats.
I also put a layer of twilight by orly which is a light silver glitter instead of a clear top coat.
I hope you enjoy and have a perfectly polished day!!!
