PCOS Awareness Nails.

Hey guys! Here today with a special post, today's post is all about PCOS. A fellow nail blogger Nory asked a bunch of girls if they wanted to participate to bring awareness to this devastating condition. She has knowingly suffered with it for 2 years, as well as a few of my other friends.

Here are some good links with info for those that would like to learn more about it. The month of September is awareness month for it.

The Colors for PCOS are teal and white, so not only is this mani about helping a fellow lacquered lover, but the colors are beautiful too. For this mani I used a few different colors all of which are two coats, my thumb and ring finger are Sinful Colors Snow Me White, My pointer finger is China Glaze DV8, My middle finger is Essence Street Styler, my ring finger is China Glaze Custom Kicks, and the glitter over my pinky is Essence Nail Art Twin Clyde. I used Bundle Monster plates BM-314 (pointer), BM-321 (middle) and BM-317 (ring). And last but not least used some rhinestones to make the ribbon on my thumb.

What do you guys think? Are you going to do a PCOS post now? :)

Until next time! Happy painting!

Holo Hump Day!

Hey guys! Here today with another PLOP challenge. This time we had holo hump day. So anything holographic :D I decided I wanted to do something a little bit different. So instead of just painting my nails I did a Chalkboard Nails design that Sarah is calling a "ruffled" mani. It's super cute! On my ring finger I did an accent nail of a gradient with the same colors used with my ruffles and free handed some zebra stripes.

So why the accent nail and why these colors? Well I saw a shirt in Walmart that gave me inspiration (pic below). I didn't use white in the gradient because well I just didn't heh, but I did use white in the ruffles. This did take a while since each ruffle is done with a dotting tool, but I love the final look of it.

On my ring finger I used a white base before sponging the gradient on. All my other nails I started with a base of China Glaze GR8, then used white, L8R G8R and DV8 as my other ruffle colors. I just did them in a pattern of GR8, DV8, L8R G8R, white and repeat.

What do you guys think?

Holographic Gradient O.O

Hey guys! Here today with another group post with some other nail bloggers and I, this time our challenge was to do a gradient mani. I dug through my polishes and wanted to do something different, so not only did I use EIGHT different colors, but they are ALL holo!!! O.O

So for this one I did no base color, I individually sponged on each color, I didn't use the sponge all at once technique, I don't really like that way honestly.

The green to blue colors from top to bottom are L8R G8R, He's going in circles, Kaleidoscope him out and DV8, the purple to pink from top to bottom are LOL, 2NITE, How about a tumble and QT. All polishes are China Glaze.

What do you guys think?

Make sure and check out all the other ladies below that participated!

Until next time! Happy painting!

China Glaze BFF, more holo yummyness!

I had some requests to swatch my China Glaze BFF that I just received in the past week, so I did it today :)

Last night I did a dry marble with BFF, TTYL, FYI, DV8 and QT but I went to bed early and didn't change my nails up last night, so today I figured I would try the marble out on one finger, and I'm glad I only did it on one! Since the holo polish has a different formula it was much more brittle and hard to work with as a dry marble.

So I did BFF on all of my nails and on my ring finger I have the marble, I love how it turned out! What do you think?



I also got my last nail mail package (that I know about anyway lol) from Ginger, DS Passion! I now own three of the DS line and I have yet to wear any of them, probably because I just got them all this week :P But I will! and soon, I promise! :D



Until next time readers! Happy painting :)

China Glaze DV8. holo goodness!

Yay for holo polish! I got this beautiful blue baby in the mail yesterday from one of my best friends, isn't she awesome!? And the girls at Face and Friends voted for me to swatch this one first :) I put it on last night, but there was no point taking pictures inside so I waiting until this afternoon to use the California sun to show how pretty the polish is!

This is only the second holo I have worn, the other was China Glaze FYI which also belongs in this same collection. Other than the fact that holo polish is sooo pretty, it also seems to dry super quick! Which of course I love!

Onto the pictures, anddd commence drooling!




Gorgeous right? It would be a little bit more holo but I used SV over it which dulled it down just a bit.

So what do you think? Do you have any colors from this collection? Which one is your favorite?

Until next time! Happy painting :D
