Lets Go to Hawaii

I saw this idea posted on Face book from Intense Polish Therapy post I thought it was awesome.

I used 3 coats Princessa White and then sponged Kleancolor Bikini Green, Neon Lime, and Mango. I use a make-up sponge and paint the color directly on the sponge in pattern I want after this dried I used MASH black stamping polish to stamp from row m29 of my Konad Knock off plate. It was topped with Ulta color enhancing topcoat that was part of a set of topcoats. I didn't notice a much difference so I don't know how "enhanced" the colors were.

Can I just say I am super pleased with how this turned out. The pictures don't quite pick up the bright neon-ness of this look. The stamping turned out so well and it was just so bright and cheerful , i actually wore it for several days which doesn't usually happen :)

Roses

I've been seeing this look around the web and I loved it but I wasn't quite so sure I could pull it off  however, I decided to give it a go anyhow.

I started with 3 coats of Lime Crime Milky Ways which I stamped with Klean Color Catch Me using Plate Cheeky CH6.

To make the roses I used a detail brush to paint
blobs of,  Color Club Gimme a Grape Big Kiss, Klean Color  Neon Pink and an Unlabled LA Colors Color Craze. I used so many colors because I don't really have many pinks and none of these were quite the color I wanted. To make the rose details I used Art Deco Striper Magenta and a Kiss Striper White, I thought I could use the stripers but ended up using a detail brush, I made the leaves using Yh Behja #5 painted on with detail brush.

I am just please as punch with how this turned out, I think its pretty good for a first go. The offhand turned out almost as well as my dominant hand.

OOPS Sorry!!

I decided to add labels to my posts and unfortunately this has moved some of my posts around to be more recent please bear with me as I am still adding labels and I am not entirely sure why it has moved some forward and not others.
Thanks

Two Bottle Challenge

Ok so I saw a nail art challenge on the blog Nailed It and I thought I'd give it  go. I initially picked black and white, because I  thought I could mix it and make grey, but I changed my mind. I felt maybe that wasn't in the spirit of the challenge  Supplies used Sinful Colors Black on Black-103 and China Glaze Snow and a crappy detail brush I need to get a better one :P

3 coats of Snow and 2 coats of Black on Black then chose to do vortexes on my ring finger and middle finger, simple geometric designs on my pinky and index finger, and finished up with a lacy design on my thumb. Yes, I cheated and only did the one hand but cause for anything past a glorified french or occasionally polka dots my left handed work looks like a 3 year old painted it and my right handed stuff isn't far behind sometimes :) . Behold my labors

I am comforted to know this doesn't look bad at all from a distance its a bit sketchy up close but It is not bad for me so yay!

LynBDesign - Black Dragon Pearl Tea

I am not gonna lie I bought the LynBDesign polishes mainly for the bottles they are so pretty. Thankfully I did not have to regret my decision the polishes are pretty great too. I used 3 coats of Black Dragon Pearl Tea  2 would have done but I smeared one of my nails and wanted to fix it up with another coat :).  It is a perfect smokey grey with just a hint of lavender undertone. Its a great spooky fog for my tree and moon. I used Yellow and Black stripe rite for the tree and moon.
I really hope to be better at nail art even when I do well on my left hand my right is a mess.

Here is a closer view of my handiwork never mind the cuticles they are horrid I'm working on it.

Emily De Molly Swatches

This is 3 coats each of Emily De Molly Somber Party and Version 2.0 (Accent). I only really needed 2 coats but as usual dinged them so added another.

Over all the formula was great for these and they do look much like they do in the bottle which is nice.

Neons

I saw this new brand at my local trinket shop, this is 3 coats Chika Yellow Green - 35 stamped with Cherimoya Neon Pink  using plate Nailz Craze NC03 and topped off with Seche Vite.

The stamping turned out ok, I messed it up a bit on the pinky but it turned out ok. The Chika polish had a bit of the melted crayon smell, was bit thin and took forever to dry, which is too bad because I loved the color.
