Layered Tips

Hi everyone! Today I wanted teal with a little sparkle. I really love how this mani turned out :) The base color is a matte with a bit of a yellow shimmer. Really pretty on it's own. Whenever I do manis w/o a tip, design, or a layered glitter I feel like something is missing idk why, but that's how I feel o_O I didn't want to completely layer the whole nail, so I just layered the corner with a glitter. The pic makes the color more blue than teal, no justice at all! Have a great day guys! :D

Hi everyone it's Monday! I hope y'all had a great weekend, because I sure did :) Before I forget, Friday I went to see Courageous. It's a great movie, a must see. Go check it out. Yesterday my bf had to go to Walgreens so, I asked him if he'd get me a nail polish and the great man he is said yes! I told him to choose a color he likes. He comes back with 2! Wet n Wild Rain Check (I already own) no worries I'll exchange it and Wet n Wild Sunny Side Up. He said He thinks those colors go good together. Not a color combo I would have chose but he put thought into the colors. So today's mani is dedicated to him :D I did a side tip at first, then because I wanted to practice using my dotting tools I added dots. The final look is a bit much for my taste even had the dots been straight. I don't have experience using tools and was nervous :/ I think the only finger that has a straight line is my thumb. LOL But I had fun practicing! I now know how to get it right, Practice makes perfect :) See you tomorrow :)

Shimmery Magenta

Hi everyone, it's blah blah (football) day! I provided a feast for my bf and his best friend. I made cheese dip, wings and pizza. Yes, all from scratch and I must say I out did myself today. I put my foot in it! Hehe :D Okay, I have several pics of today's mani. I love the colors! I bought a Sinful Colors matte a few weeks ago and didn't really get down with it. Well, I hate to not use what I buy and Friday when I was out camera shopping I found a Sally Hansen glitter nail polish on sale for $1.46 (never pass up a deal) and thought "oh, I can layer it over the matte." When I got a look at the finished mani, I was so pleased :D It looks like a dress I saw once. When I find the pic, I'll post it. I found a top coat that says it keeps your nails from staining, let's see if it's true to it's word. I'll let y'all know next month. Have a great Sunday everyone! P.S. The pic I've added to the side bar is Erik (my cowboy) my son and me. I'll be posting a different pic periodically.

Layered Seaweed

Happy Saturday everyone :D Today October 1st begins Breast Cancer Awareness month. Let's do all we can to spread awareness and pray for a cure. Well yesterday I went on the hunt for an inexpensive camera. First, I went to Best Buy and as soon as I start looking at cameras this guy comes up to me chit chatting about cameras. I'm like dude seriously :/ he just would not stop talking (he was not an employee) Normally, I'm the first to carry a conversation and I DO love to talk! Hehe Anyway, I ended up leaving that store and go to Target and most of the display cams didn't work :/ The camera Gods were not with me! Okay, enough about that. Today's mani is a layered. I had to do something really fast because, I'll be busy most of the day. I just layered Finger Paints Tough Art To Follow with Sinful Colors Nail Junkie and used Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Anti-Chip Top Coat. Outside it looks looks dark green-ish blue. It totally rocks! The glitter polish looks like a meteor rock or something like that. I love it! By guys, have a great day :D

Seaweed

Happy Friday everyone! Okay, I told you I was going to do a mani with just Finger Paints Tough Art To Follow. I absolutely love this green! The formula is a bit thin and one coat is very sheer. I used 3 coats and no top coat. Okay I'm off to see if I can find a good inexpensive camera! Whoop Whoop! I'll be my own camera fairy! LOL Have a great weekend :D

Simply Green

Hey everybody, I'm feeling better than I was yesterday :D This mani is just a nice and simple mani I used two greens. The tip is a dark green. This green is from Finger Paints and is a beauty alone. It's a deep deep dark green (like seaweed green) I'll do that tomorrow, so y'all can see the beauty. I recently purchased Beauty Secrets Fast Dry, it's not a top coat. I used it instead of a top coat just to smooth everything. And, it really didn't quicken the dry time. I think it actually took longer :/ Ok, I must apologize for the not so great pic, I've yet to get a camera. I wish the camera fairy would pay me a visit. LOL Hey she leaves money for lost teeth, why not lost cameras. Hehe :D Project Runway tonight! Have a great evening!  P.S, Thank you Jesus for sending us the much needed rain!  

1 coat Beauty Secrets Top Coat, 2 coats Wet n Wild fast dry Sage in the City, tipped with Finger Paints Tough Art To Follow, and Beauty Secrets Fast Dry.

Mom

Hi everyone, It's Wednesday. I hope y'alls week so far has been going great. Sorry for the late post, I've had such a busy day. This pink didn't photo so great. The pink looks like cotton candy, I promise! I wanted something pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness coming up next month. Today's mani is dedicated to my mom. I wrote this as my Facebook status awhile back, but it's as true today as it was then:

Mom,
You've been here for me without fail, whenever things weren't going quite right. You've always told me I could do and be anything I wanted in this life. You made sure I became a secure, loving, independent, and confident woman. Never to settle for anything less than I deserve. You taught me to live, not merely exist. There are not enough words in all the books on this planet that can express how much I love you. Mom, I love you and will honor you all the days of my life!

1 coat of Seche Ultra V Top Coat, 1 coat Sinful Colors Thimbleberry, taped my fingers, added Sinful Colors Snow Me White, and because the white was too loud I added 1 coat of Sinful Colors Pinky Glitter and 1 coat of Seche Ultra V Top Coat.
