SNAAARKM Challenge Day 3: Dotting Tool

Hello! So today is day three of the SNAAARKM Challenge! It means its dotting tool day!

I don't own any dotting tools....I use toothpicks with the ends snipped off, but its the same thing practically! You can still make beautiful dots with them! That's what I attempted to do here.

I had this fantastic idea in my head and thought when I translate this to my nails then its gonna be friggen awesome! Yeah its more of meh to me. It didn't come out the way I saw it in my head, but hey do they ever??

For the dots I used the whole rainbow! Really I did, look!

I know you can't tell the orange from the red on my thumb nail, :(. Here is a list of the polishes I used.

Base color: Pure Ice Superstar
Red: Jessie's Girl Wham Bam
Orange: Sally Hansen Crushed
Yellow: Hard Candy Splendid
Green: China Glaze Starboard
Blue: Simply Sweet Blue
Purple: L.A. Colors Striper in Purple.

I wanted it to be like the candy dots you see but with the rainbow effect! This took me back to the 31 Day Challenge when it was Rainbow Day!

Here is a little better of a picture. I think my dots weren't spaced out right or something but I still semi liked it.

31 Day Challenge. Day 13 Animal Print!

Happy Friday the 13th!!

I think that this has been one of the post that I could not wait to do next to the rainbow one! Ever since I got my nail stamping kit and saw that I had gotten a leopard print pattern I couldn't wait to use it.

With the salon express kit that I bought it is definitely a trial and error project. I think I went through every one of my polishes before I found out that only some of them work with the kit.

31 Day Challenge. Day 12 Stripes!

Good morning, yeah I'm not a happy camper this morning, there is snow on the ground, but its raining which means it probably won't last long but who knows. At least the roads are clear so it's not a total loss and I can go see my girlfriends today. :)

Today is stripes day of the challenge and I can say that I really like mine. Its a bright manicure which helps with the dreary weather. I used two coats of Jessie's Girl JulieG which is  bright pinky peach color as my base, this is a perfect spring color and that is what I am thinking about these days, spring.

For my stripes I used a polish I bought a few years ago that I thought was going to be like For Audry because in thats what it looked like, well looks are deciveing. Its a polish by Savina called Blue For You, it dries a darker tealish color when applied to the nail but it was the perfect color for the stripes!

My Favorite Nail Polishes of 2011! Part 2

Back for round two! Happy New Years Eve everyone! I hope your all going to ring in the new year with loved ones or partying it up! I will be working til 10, going home ringing in the new year with my mom and then straight to bed to be back at work at 8:30AM. *sigh* One day I will have a job where I do not have to work holidays and weekends.

Jessie's Girl: Mermaid's Lagoon.

Hi everyone!

So this afternoon before work, I decided to finally change my christmas manicure. I wanted something that I felt represented winter or winter-esque.  I wanted a solid color, no glitter, just somthing simple but bright. I was debating on between three or four polishes to change to, ones I hadn't worn since the early fall. I had seen another blogger talk about Mermaid's Lagoon and I knew that was the one to pick.This is from the Julie G Collection that the famous Youtuber put out at Rite Aid this year. It came out around Labor Day weekend and as far as I know my Rite Aid stil had some left.  It is a fantastic teal color and the shimmer is subtle but just enough to make this polish 'pop' in the right light.

Halloween inspired manicure

Hey all,

In this post I want to show you guys my Halloween inspired mani! I took inspiration from Sayanythingbr00ke on this one. On her YouTube channel she did a blood splatter/dexter manicure, she accomplished hers with the Konad Stamping kit. Unfourtnately I do not have one of those. I have been interested in purchasing one for a long time, I just haven't brought myself to do it.

Sorry I've been gone ...Pic heavy

Hello everyone!

So sorry I haven't been blogging much in the last almost month. Life has been very stressful. I have been going through a lot with my job and my family.
