Intrigued by the stamp plates by Konad, without wanting to pay the price, I tried these Salon Effects (an "As Seen on TV" thing I found a Walgreens). They worked nicely, and I had to add some bling to them :) Colors: Background- OPI:Pedal Faster Suzi (pink), and the burst things OPI:Eiffel for This Color (deep purple)

Ok, I didn't change my polish today. Those rainbow ones from yesterday deserved another day in my opinion :) These are a water marble I did just before Easter. OPI Shorts Story (pink), OPI Bling Dynasty (gold), and OPI Suzi Says Da! (maroon/brown). Figured I needed a post for today anyway....I keep a few in reserve for such days :) Have a great weekend!!!!

I saw someone else do this on the internet, so I can't take credit. But, I HAD to try it out :). List of polish: OPI for Sephora (pink)- What Aura Gonna Wear?, OPI (orange)- Pumped Up Pumpkin, OPI for Sephora (yellow)-Yellow My Name Is Betsey, OPI for Sephora (blue)- Too Too Turq, OPI for Sephora (purple)- Eve-y on the Eyes. After I sponge Ombre-d it (if you will), a coat of Seche Vite to smooth the surface. Then the water marble of simply OPI Black Onyx and OPI Bubble Bath (sheer beige...helped mask the edges of where the colors ran together) Then finished with another coat of Seche Vite. I really LOVE how they turned out. Hope you all do too :)

Seriously, the blurry is pissing me off. ANYHOO..... Just needed something to protect my nails today as to try and not break them off. China Glaze Fairy Dust has done the trick! Will hopefully have something more exciting tomorrow :)

I am not the biggest fan of a French Manicure. Although, it does looks pretty classy, it's just not my style usually. I bought these dried nail appliques from TKB Trading Co. They applied like a breeze, but it's been less than 12 hours and they are chipping off. Now, I did finish them with a coat of Seche Vite. That may be what they don't like, but a clear over it shouldn't have made their wear worse, right? (Side note, man, my nails are like talons right now!)

These Sally Hansen Salon Effects are called "Tat-too Much". I thought they were cute in the package, but they remind me too much of some Ed Hardy gear. (Of this, I am not a fan) But hey, if that's your thing, they fit right in. (I think I had these on for less than 24 hours)

These are an old pattern of Salon Effects by Sally Hansen. I think they are called "Don't Get Catty". I figured that I was at the beach and neon always make one look more tan :)
