Blazing Sunset

Hi guys! I wanted to try ombre nails again, but when I did, they kept being not quite right. I kept at it again, and came out with this. I don't think it came out too bad! :) I used a cheap brand, California Colors, which I got at the Dollar Tree, in yellow. I painted the whole nail with yellow and let it dry. Then I used the makeup wedge sponge ombre technique. Seriously, this technique is everywhere, so if you haven't seen it, google it :). I used 3 colors to sponge: California Nails yellow, OPI "Atomic Orange", and Sephora OPI "Pushing Your Luck". I like the way it turned out, and hope you all do too! Have a great Tuesday!

Rainbow water marble

I have been on a water marble kick lately. My sister was interested in learning in how to do it, so now I'm all about it again. This is actually 6 colors, but the blue kind of fades into the purple. Oh well. I used Sephora OPI "What Aura Gonna Wear?" (pink), Sally Girl "Orange" (scented orange), OPI "Candlelight" (yellow), Sally Girl "Lime" (green lime scented), Sally Girl "Coconut" (blue coconut scented), and Sephora OPI "It's Hippo to be Square" (purple). Also, with the combo of the scented ones, my fingers smell like a bag of Skittles...and that's not too bad! :) As all water marbles turn out, I think my thumb was the best!

Hope you all have a great Easter weekend!

Easter egg nails

Hi guys! I have been wicked sick and off of work for 2 weeks. I mean, if you've ever had too much to drink and went to lay down to sleep and the room spins, this is what I have been feeling for these two weeks! And not even with the fun of the alcohol before hand. Really, I don't think I've had even a beer in 3 months. Anyway, since I sat here and did all sorts of nothing for that time, I thought I would do some water marble nails. I started with the base of OPI "Alpine Snow". Then I used Sephora OPI in "How Cute is That?" and "What Aura Gonna Wear?", and Sally Girl scented polishes in "Coconut" and "Banana". So not only is this very Easter egg looking, but it smells like suntan lotion too.

Happy Shark Week!!!

In honor of shark week, I decided to do....you guessed it, SHARKS!! This is "Who Let the Dorks Out?" of the Sephora OPI Glee Collection. I used Konad special polish in white and Konad plate M27.

Royal Inspiration

Happy Tuesday! This purple is from the Sephora OPI India inspired collection. I love it! It's called "Seriously, It's a Naan-Issue". As of today, I don't have a good gold stamping polish.So, I opted for a silver. It's Konad special polish in silver, and Bundle Monster plate 318. I think it looks regal or something, but that's just me :)

Pink Galaxy!

After reading tips by all of the lovelies I follow, I decided to try out an ombre technique. I think it turned out very well. My sister said it reminded her of a pink galaxy. I will be doing a grey/blue to black combo soon to make a night sky one that is similar to this per her inspiration :) This was OPI "Shorts Story" (the light pink) and Nina Pro in "Punki Purple" for the dark. I finished it with China Glaze "Fairy Dust" to make it all shimmery. Then of course Seche to seal it all off. In real life, it was ultra sparkly and kind of looked like something that would be perfect for Barbie or a Disney princess...Seriously, like Tinkerbell vomited on my nails :) HA! Have a great day!

Damn you camera!

So, I bought so crackle polish online from Sephora. It was on sale for like $5 a bottle, so how can you resist when they were $9.50....Anyway, I got this one, "Blasted Opal" (One of the Sephora OPI ones). It's white in the bottle. The pictures do it no justice because it's like a holo, but not. The colors range from yellow to purple depending on the angle and the lighting. I used it over black to try and show the rainbow effect. Alas, no luck. Still looks pretty cool with the majority of it looking purple. It totally sparkles in real life.
