Easter Mani - Day 3!

Happy Easter to all that celebrate :) And Happy Sunday to everyone else!!!

I Have had a lot of fun with Easter this year (It is my favorite holiday :) and I am going to share some of my fun with you! 

First, coloring eggs..... I guess all kinds of color (not just nail polish) love my fingertips. 

Keep in mind that this was after 3 hand washes :)


But it does give my Easter mani that extra something :)


Instead of a green thumb I have a pink one :) I think we should use a pink thumb to describe nail polish lovers :D

Anywhoo I'm an idiot and forgot my camera connector at school so you are just going to have to look at the phone camera version of my mom's Easter mani. And just know that the awesomeness is even better in real life :)


UPDATE :) 


She wanted all of her nails to look like they were Easter eggs. I love the way it turned out :D and they are soooo shiny its ridiculous!! Everyone was stopping her and asking her where she got her nails done. She was so cute and proud :) 

For the colors I used Color Club Yum-Gum (hot pink), Twiggie(Green), Secret Rendezvous(purple), Sheer Disguise(blue), Get A Clue(light pink) , and Studio M's French Tip (white). For the Silver lines I used Art Club's Silver. Then I used SESR's Pearly white color and their pure white.

In case anyone was wondering Yum Gum is part of Color Club's Wicked Sweet Line that is all Scented. And though I was hesitant, I still got these and they do not dissapoint!!! They smell awesome! And are scented the entire time you have your mani on.  Even through a top coat and other colors :) 

Have a great day!!!

P.S. For anyone that is paying attention, I have used like the same 10 colors this entire weekend. This is due to the fact that all my nail polish is at school and it is physically impossible to bring them all back home haha :) Even though I want to!

Easter Mani - Day 2!

Sorry about how late this post is!! I just have been crazy busy with Easter preparations :) Anywhooo on to the manicure :)

This is a three coats of the lovely Sheer Disguise by Color Club. It was almost too beautiful to paint over!! It was a light dusty grey/blue. However, a warning when using this color: USE THIN COATS! I mean REALLY thin, otherwise the color will not dry fully and you will get ugly wrinkley nails even an hour after painting (With Seche Vite too!). The only way I found to solve this was using thin coats, and letting them dry completely. 


 Then using Color Club Secret Rendezvous (purple) and Color Club Get a Clue (pink) I made stripes to look like an Easter egg :) My original plan was to use tape to make the stripes but even after all of that waiting the tape kept getting stuck to the polish!!! What the heck?! I am hoping it was just this color or just this bottle because I have never had this problem with Color Club before. So i just ended up free handing it and it turned out good. I used Art Club By Color Club silver for the stripes and finished with Seche Vite. 

I am going to be posting tomorrow but it will probably short and sweet and later in the day. Have a Happy Easter everyone!!

Easter Mani - Day 1!

Happy Friday everyone!! I have decided that I am going to feature easter inspired nails from now until Easter (and maybe even after that).

So here is Day one!! I did these for my little sister, it was the first time she had seen Konad, and lets just say she was superrrr excited :) 


She couldn't pick just one color or just one stamp :) They look almost like eggs ! And of course, we had to add SPARKLES :D


The glitter is actually an awesome find from Meijer, Studio M's Magic Attraction. It is an awesome clear base stuffed with holographic glitter. [Not visible in pics because these are taken with a phone camera :( ]
Other colors I used from thumb to pinky : Studio M's Neon Caution, Color Club Twiggie, Color Club Get a Clue, Color Club Yum Gum, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet. 

These were all awesome colors to work with, opaque and pastel awesomeness :) I used Konad's Special White polish and a variety of plates. 

Hope you are having a good day and hopefully enjoying your day off :)
