Oh Christmas Tree!!!

Hey guys! Merry Christmas!!! Today's post is full of happy holographic Christmas-ness!!

A few days ago while finishing up my shopping I happened to go into Urban Outfitters looking for the Silver Holo polish, not knowing ahead of time that there was a green and pink too!! So I ended up getting all 3 ;)

So I wanted to do Christmas trees but thought all of them would be too much. So I started with 2 coats of Urban Outfitters Silver Holo on all of my nails. I then used Nubar Reclaim for my Christmas tree on my ring finger, the dots are UO Pink Holo, and the star is China Glaze GR8. I loved it, but felt like I needed more, so I then turned my thumb into a present using China Glaze LOL.

So EVERYTHING on my nails is holographic!! Talk about holiday cheer! I seriously love these :D

Pics are with no flash under artificial light. These Urban Outfitter holos are no joke!!!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting! And Merry Christmas!!

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!

Saran Wrap Sponging

Hey guys! Here today with a new technique I just recently heard about, using saran wrap for a sponge! I know for those of you that haven't heard of it yet think it sounds strange, I know I did. But seeing the effects won me over!

This is one of the easiest nail art techniques I've done, ANYONE can do this and it will turn out great! What I did was start with two coats of Funky Fingers Queen Cupcake, added my top coat, then using Zoya Kimber and China Glaze How About A Tumble I put a few drops of each on my nail art plate, then dabbed the ball of saran wrap into it. I then just dabbed the saran wrap all over each nail until the color was where I wanted it, then used a top coat again and I was done! See? Super simple!

Some people don't use a base color but since I wanted to make sure there would be no bald spots I did use one. Your imagination is the limit here! Play with colors and see what works for you!

For some reason no flash wasn't picking up the dimensions of this all that great so the second two pictures have flash :)

What do you guys think?

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?

Until next time! Happy painting!

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!
