Day 15: Delicate Print

 So today is delicate print nails.... I didn't have any ideas except for nail stamping. I really liked the look of the image on the stamping plate.... but I can never get the whole image to transfer onto the entire nail of my longer nails.... But I think if you ignore that, it looks cute :)

 

 I started out with 2 coats of  L'Oreal "Walk On The Beach" which is a nude color. I don't think there is really anything special about it, it was my untried polish, but the application was great. It will probably go in my underwear drawer.... Not my actually underwear drawer... my nail polish underwear drawer :)

 

 I added 1 coat of Nubar "2010" which is your basic flakie polish. I just wanted to add a little something.

 

 For the stamping I used Sally Hansen "Frutti Petutie", which is also an untried.

 

 As you can see on my ring and pinky finger that the stamp wasn't large enough to cover the entire nail, plus it didn't transfer on some parts. I guess practice makes perfect.

 

Well there you have it. Those are my delicate print nails. Tomorrow is tribal print, and I have no clue what to do for that :( Google search and Pintrest here I come. So check back tomorrow to see how that turns out.

 

Thanks for reading and make sure to check out the other delicate nails from the ladies below.

Picked by my Fiance... and another franken!

I never know what color(s) to paint my nails so I normally ask my mom (who lives downstairs from me) or my fiance, Jody, for color suggestions. Well it was Jody's turn and he said "bright green with pink tips" You may not know this about me but I LOVE green and I could care less about pink. I do have a couple pinks though. I wasn't really excited about his choice but I did it any ways..... and honestly, I'm really glad I did. I love how it turned out. The colors worked really well together. Ok on to the pictures :)

I don't know why but I forgot to take a picture of the green base color. For the base I used 2 coats of Essence "Lime Up", The pink was an L.A. Colors polish but it doesn't have a name If I ever figure out the name of it I will make sure to update this post   :(.... but until then...

I did the tips free hand instead of using guides. I just wanted to see how how I could do without them.... I think I need to keep using lol. I used two coats of the green, one coat of SV, two coats of the pink and another coat of SV.

Also since I love my new and very first Nubar I had to give it a try on this mani. I used 1 coat of Nubar 2010

The effect the Nubar 2010 had on the lighter colors is much different then when it is used on darker colors.

Next up is a franken I made. It doesn't have a name yet so if you have any ideas please let me know.

 i pretty much just poured in a little of every glitter polish I had and some loose glitter for more sparkle :) You can never have too much glitter, there is no such thing!!!

 This is 2 coat of my un-named franken

 

 It reminds me of a few other polishes I've been seeing on another blog:

This is Deborah Lippman "Happy Birthday" from Lacquered Lover's Blog, The glitter in my polish is smaller but they do look a bit alike.

Also from the same blog is Milani Gems:

Well that's it for today. Please leave any comments you may have below :) Thanks for reading and please check out Lacqueres Lover's blog !!!

Black, Silver,and Nubar

I really wanted to use my new Nubar "2010" so I decided to use black and silver polish. I used L.A. Colors "Circuits" and "Live" I did a half moon mani, I just really like how they look :)
Sorry for not cleaning up before taking the pictures.

I then topped it with Nubar "2010" here is a bunch of pictures since the colors are just so pretty. The colors are different depending on the angle you look at the nails. I tried to show it the best I could :)

To get some other looks I used a brighter lamp to get some more shots

So there you have it... so pretty I plan on trying it over some other colors so watch for those.

Take care and thanks for reading!!
