Cookie Monster Nail

I have loved sesame street for ever I watched it until I was well out of its demographic. I do think elmo ruined it he was a selfish little puppet and still find him horribly annoying if I happen to catch a glimpse. I did however love the original cast of puppets and stop motion film shorts.

I started with 3 coats of Misa Peachy Keen. To make the cookies I used dots of Contrary Polish Hayride  and for the chips and out line  I used KleanColor Coffee Addict.   Cookie Monster was made using Mentality Ruffian and outlined using OPI Black Onyx, for the eyes I used Polish Me To Go White Undies.

OK, OK  so I may have gotten a little snap happy, believe it or not I had loads more. I do so love how these turned out. They are so cute.

Neon Roses

This is 3 coats each of Armour Ah-Mazingg!!! and Polish me to go Orange you Glad?. I got the
Roses off eBay.

I love neon particularly when they dont need undies to be bright. I love the idea of these roses they arent stiff but flexible like silicone. They didn't stay on very well but I jsut used top coat to hold them I'll try glue next time.

Stars and Stripes

For this I started with 1 coat of  Polish Me To Go White Undies and 2 coats Princessa white. I used Avon Reviving Red  to make the stripes. On the accent I have 2 coats China Glaze Starboard and some hand placed star glitter from eBay.

I felt like the stripes on my left hand were bit more even but I still think I need more practice. I do wish i had more sparsely spaced the stars but it was a very sparkly look.

Americana

The problem with having your posts go in a que is that some times they aren't very timely.
I did this post a few days before Independence Day.

I started with 1 coat of Polish Me To Go White Undies over that I added 2 coats  of Princessa white. On my pointer finger I did 2 coats of  China Glaze Starboard.
I used Vivid Lacquer plate Vl 005 stamped with Starboard for the stars on middle 2 fingers
and plate sh214 stamped using Konad White on my pointer. I used the XXL Konad knockoff row m14 stamped with Starboard and Avon Reviving Red for the USA Star and I did stripes using Avon Reviving Red.

I was fairly happy with how this turned out particularly my thumbs.

Barry M Swatch Remodel

I was not content with just the swatching so I top coated with 2 coats of Polish Me To Go Summer Lights and stamped with Barry M Silver foil, using a design from plate XXL Shany 2.

I felt like the Summer Lights glitter topper spread really evenly and had a really lovely glow in the dark.  I am super pleased with the stamping I think I got placement ok and the stamps are really crisp for the most part.

Simple Chevron

I love some glow in the dark goodness so when I saw some I had to buy it. If I were more talented as a photographer I would show you the glowy goodness as such I am not so no glow for you.

I started with 3 coats of Polish Me to Go Honey My Dew and Pinky Promise alternating nails. I thought while these were fairly true to color. They were a bit gritty and I had some problems with drag but the dragging problem could have been my fault.  I was going to leave it but I was feeling like I had been lazy about doing my nails properly. So I used some cheveron french guides and Ninja Polish Eye Candy to make an accent on my ring finger.

I like the simplicity of this. If I did it again I would probably have the chevron pointing down or maybe two intersecting one pointing up and one pointing down.
