Day 23 - Inspired by a Movie

For today's inspiration I chose Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

I actually did these nails the day before the premier but never posted them.

I did all of this art with my Stride Rite nail art stripers. From L-R: French Flag, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hedwig.

The flag is because this mani was on France's independence day

From L-R: HP Logo, Lightning Scar, Deathly hallows logo, Luna's Radish earrings, and A broomstick.

And an upclose of the characters.

I loved these, they were soo cute!!! And I loved the movie :) I am totally obsessed with Harry Potter. Actually its funny because my two favorite things are harry potter and nail polish.... as you can see by my tumblr.. 

Day 11 - Polka Dots :D

For the next couple posts I tried to use my untried polishes that I bought recently! 

So here is Mermaid's Lagoon by Jessie's Girl, it is a new LE polish from the Julie Collection.

The reason I got this polish was a post by Nouveau Cheap that showed the awesome shimmer! I am completely obsessed with her blog so if you haven't checked it out- GO NOW!

This is one of the most color-accurate and shimmer showing pictures I got. It was super subtle and I must say, its why I fell in love with it!!! Going in the sun with this would be crazy awesome!!

This is inside in indirect lamp light, you can see that it looks like a creme almost, its like a hidden surprize just for you!

For the challenge of the day, I wanted to do something a little more original and this just popped in my head. I fail at making straight french tips and this is a good way to get around that! I would totally wear this as a full mani one day. Plus I love the color combination!

I would also like to remind everyone to keep the families and friends of those who died today ten years ago in their thoughts and prayers. I was in elementary school when it happened and I know that if it affected me like it did, I could not have imagined it as an adult who knew all the consequences.

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!!
