Blue and Gold Water Marble

Hello readers =)
So, I'm pretty obsessed with OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby. I've used it in the last three manicures I've done! I should probably get another $4.50 bottle (my Ulta has a ton on clearance) before they run out! Anyway, here's a marble I did yesterday with blue and clear over L.A.M.B.

I started with Sally Hansen Nail Hardener, and on my ring finger and thumb applied two coats of OPI Keeping Suzi at Bay, then dotted on Love.Angel.Music.Baby. On the rest of my fingers I applied two coats of L.A.M.B. and marbled with Keeping Suzi at Bay and Sally Hansen NailShine Miracle top coat. I topped everything with Glisten and Glow HK Girl top coat.

That's all, folks!! Thanks for stopping by, and have an absolutely fantastic day!

Pastel Tribal Nail Art

Hey everyone!! So I did this pastel tribal mani (inspired by Jaunty Juli on YouTube) for the nail art challenge I'm doing and knew it would be perfect for this week's trend; pastels. (By the way, if you want to see more of my challenge manis, my Instagram is right here!)

I started with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Nail Hardener, applied two coats of Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac, and used a fan brush to drag on an unnamed greenish Color Club, Sally Hansen Brisk Blue, and some acrylic paints. I then used a small brush, a dotting tool, and white acrylic paint for the tribal design and topped everything with Glisten and Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful Easter!! =)

Purple Argyle Nails

Hey everyone!

So I decided to do these Argyle nails since this week's trend is sweaters. Also, I knew they would work for Day 26 of the 31 day nail art challenge I'm doing on Instagram. (Btw, if you want to see more of my challenge pics and nail art, it's all right here!)

I freehanded these with a small brush, and I know they're not amazing, but I wasn't aiming for perfection. ;) The purple is an unnamed polish from Physician's Formula, the black and white are both acrylic paints, and the grey is a franken that I mixed using black, white, and a little purple. (I didn't have any greys that were quite what I wanted so I made my own!) The studs I got online, and I used Glisten and Glow HK Girl Top Coat to top everything off.

 Thanks for looking!! Have a great day! =)

Saint Patrick's Day Stamping and Glitter Placement

Hello! Happy St. Patrick's Day, early! ;)

So, I was pretty stumped last night trying to figure out what to do for my St. Paddy's Day nails (I'm not super into green) so I ended up kinda wimping out and going with a light green base, darker green stamping, and a green hand-placed glitter accent nail. Lots of green!!!

I started, as always, with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail Hardener. On all but my ring finger, I applied three coats of Sally Hansen Green With Envy and let them dry. I then stamped the shamrock design from Pueen 40 with Soo s183 (it doesn't have a name, only a number) and topped with Glisten and Glow HK Girl top coat. On my ring finger, I applied one coat of BSquared Lacquer Change the Game (it was an almost perfect match for my glequins!), and used a regular, cheap, slow-drying top coat to stick the glequins on one by one, then topped with two coats of Just Ricarda Glossy Glam top coat and one of HK Girl.

Thanks for looking! Have a great St. Patricks Day, and don't get pinched. ;)
