Orange Gradient

I think I'm a bit in love with gradients lol. I think it's all I've been doing lately. But I still love them :) I think this is one of my favorites so far. I used 2 oranges for this mani...
Warning: Lots of pictures ahead!!!

 Piggy Polish - Damsel in This Dress and Sinful Colors - Citrine

 I love how this turned out. I wanted to wear it forever... but all manis must come off sometimes. But here is some nail porn. I couldn't beside which pics to use to I'm using them all :)\

 when I started doing this mani I didn't think there would be enough of a contrast between the 2 polishes, but I think they work perfectly together and I will have to remember this combo for the future.








Well this it for today. I hope you enjoyed the nail spam. Thank you for reading and keep tuned for my next post. Love you all my beautiful readers :)

Summer Mani Gradient

I've been gone for awhile... like over a month :( But sometimes the real world gets in the way of the blogging life, and you just have to deal with it. I've been dealing with a lot of stuff in the past few weeks, but I'm hoping to jump back in better then ever :) Ok so we go...

For this mani I used: Orly - Glowstitck, China Glaze - Flirty Tankini, Beach Cruise-r, and INM - Northern Lights Topcoat

I used the 3 colors to make a nice summer-y gradient!

 Orly - Glowstitck
 China Glaze - Flirty Tankini
 China Glaze - Beach Cruise-r




 INM - Northern Lights

Well that's it for today. I am going to try and keep posting on a regular basis from now on. Thank you for your continued follower ship, and this blog is nothing without my readers, so I thank every single one of you for supporting me.

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Today I have 2 4th of July manis to show you. First is the mani that I wore on Monday... 
 For this mani I used O.P.I. "Alpine Snow" China Glaze "Blue Year's Eve" and "Ruby Pumps" and Icing "Patriotic Princess"

I started out with a coat of "Alpine Snow", and then used "Alpine Snow", "Blue Year's Eve" and "Ruby Pumps" to do a gradient sponging on each nail.



 I then applied one coat of "Patriotic Princess" to each nail





My second mani I tried something a little different. This time I started with 1 coat of Spoiled "Correction Tape" and then applied striping tape like such:

Then using Essence "Glamorous Life" and "Hard To Resist" I sponged over the striping tape.
"Correction Tape"

"Glamorous Life" 
Some of the striping tape moved during the sponging process, but I still like the outcome :)

 "Hard To Resist"

 On my ring finger I used 2 coats of Julep "America"

Well that's it for today. Thanks for reading and I hope everyone had a fun, and hopefully cool day. It's been in the 100's here today!

Night!!!

Hey, Hey, Hey... 2 Manis Today...Ho, Ho, Ho!!!!

Since I haven't been posting much lately I decided to share not 1, but 2 manis today. As if you couldn't guess that by the title of my post lol.

First up is just a simple gradient I did.


 Orly "Crush On You"

 Orly "Oh Cabana Boy"

 Finished up with a coat of OTD "Northern Lights"

 So that's my first mani for today. Now on to the second mani for today...


 As you can see these are not my fingers lol. My friend said she didn't think her nails could be painted so I felt the need to prove her wrong lol. Granted the clean up kinda sucks, but I'm not use to do other people's nails and in my defense it was kinda late lol

 I used 2 coats of Petites "Hazel" and for the stamping I used Orly "Glitz"

 I used the lotus flower image on the Mash-35 Plate


Well that's it for today! Thanks for reading and please come back soon.

Shredded Mani & May/June Haul

I'm going to start out with a mani and then show you most of the polishes I've bought in May and most of June. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but it's still a lot lol.

So my mani today is pretty simple. Nothing special, but I still think it looks awesome. I started with 2 coats of China Glaze "Love's A Beach" I forgot to take a picture before adding 1 coat of Icing "Shredded"
  
  
I really liked this mani. I did have a few C.O.D. moments where I picked at the flakes that didn't lay flat. That was minor, and totally something that I can deal with and work with. I think this would look awesome over so many different colors.

Ok now on to my haul pictures!!!

First a few things I picked up from Big Lots:
Color Mates "Cabernet" "Spring Fling" and "Fuchsia Flash"
 Revlon "Grapefruit Fizz" "Apple-tini Fizz" "Watermelon Fizz" "Pineapple Fizz" "Grape Fizz" and "Mint Fizz"
 O.P.I. "Just Spotted The Lizard" "Number One Nemesis" Sally Hansen "Multi-Faceted" and "Ring-a-Ding"
 Color Club - Blossoming Set

 Orly - "Swizzle Stick" "Steel Your Heart" "Green Apple" "Butterflies" "Prelude To A Kiss" "Oh Cabana Boy"
  
 China Glaze "Love's A Beach" and "Orange You Hot?" Icing "Shredded" "Rave Royalty" "Pampered & Primped" and "What Planet Are You On"

 The 4 Cos Bar's have no names, but you can find them at Target, O.P.I. "It's Totally Fort-Worth It" "Pirouette My Whistle" and "Shatter The Scales"

 Revlon "Sorbet" Magicolor This polish stinks to high heaven lol, and Sally Girl neon orange

Well that's it for today. Now you see what I have to have a blog sale lol. Thanks for reading and have a great day/night!
