Good afternoon!!
In honor of Independence Day on Friday, I decided to a week of different patriotic manis. For today, I created a mani using stripe tape. All colors used were Zoya- Trixie (base coat, 2 coats), Song, and Elisa. Topped with Seche. I know the third pic is a bit off, but it shows off the glow of the colors.
Yesterday's was rather simple. Just 2 coats of Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue and a coat of Hard Candy's Soda Pop (don't understand the name of that at all O.o It is one of the new colors, though). I briefly thought about matting it, but the glitter itself is matte, and that was enough for me :) It could have used a second coat of Seche, though, as it wasn't completely smooth.
Alrighty, now the Stamping Sunday theme was Fourth of July/Canada Day nails. Of course, I picked Fourth of July :) Base colors were Zoya Sooki and Ibiza, stamped with Bundle Monster BM-H25 and Mundo de Unas white, and topped with Seche.
Happy Friday!
Quick little post today! Instead of my usual textured polish feature for Fridays, I chose to use two matte polishes- Zoya Lolly and OPI Russian Navy Matte. Three coats of Lolly, taped off the tips with striping tape and Russian Navy. Done!
Good afternoon!
I enjoy learning and using new nail art techniques. Sometimes, my attempts turn out well, sometimes not so nice lol. June's Monthly Palette Project called for peacock colors:
Totally perfect for me, I love these colors. The challenge was to use them in color blocking. Color blocking is a new technique to me. It's not difficult, but is time consuming.
For this mani, all colors used were Morgan Taylor. The base colors were Take me to Your Tribe on accents and Varsity Jacket Blues on the rest. The blocking colors were Making Waves, Going Native, and Gotta Have Hue. Blocking was created using striping tape I got from Ebay. Topped with Seche, then matted with Mattes a Wrap.
I don't think it was too bad for my first attempt :)
Wednesday was a simple mani. I'm all about rose gold; it's tied with white metals for my favorite metallic look. All I used for yesterday was 2 coats of Candy Lacquer Precious Metal and a coat of Seche. I keep forgetting there's a subtle linear holo to this color lol.
Good evening and happy Labor Day to those in the States!
I've got today's mani and yesterday's Stamping Sunday challenge to show you all :) Today's mani was very simple but absolutely beautiful. I just wish my pics show that, happens when the sun hides itself.
I had managed to get in on a preorder for Colors by Llarowe's Michael Jackson tribute collection, Smooth Criminal. That's the one that really called me, although all the colors are gorgeous. Smooth Criminal is just amazing, from application to wear to just the color. The first pic I have is a bit blurry but it's the only one shows some of the holo.
Stamping Sunday's challenge called for tone on tone. I was torn on this one; normally, I would have done blue on blue, but I decided instead to do purple on purple. I started with 3 coats of OPI's Rumple's Wrigglin' as my base and topped with Seche. My stamped images came from Winstonia W-04, Vivid Lacquer VL 009, Betina B-16, and Apipila P.2 plates, stamped in Chanel Vendetta. The striping tape I used on the pinky fingers is also from Winstonia.
