Variety is the spice of life!

So this weekend I have changed my nails twice, and I figured I would share some pictures for you to ohhhh and ahhhh over ;)

Friday I bought a color called "Tiffany Imposter" in Finger Paints brand and I LOVEEEE it! It's a beautiful color! I swatched it, and practiced what I thought would be a cute idea for when I did it on my own nails, and this was the result, thoughts?



And of course I had to hold onto one of my Tiffany & Co. boxes to show how close the color really is ;)

Then tonight I changed it up, because the polish-acholics anonymous group I'm in on FB does a Monday Mani, where there is a different "theme" or "challenge" I guess you could say weekly, and for tomorrow was sponging. Now mind you I have never done this before so I figured I would just wing it, what's the worst that could happen right?

I asked my old man to pick the colors, and he actually did a pretty good job! They look like night time to me :)

So for the base I used Pure Ice in Silver Mercedes, the dark blue is China Glaze First Mate, the lighter blue is Confetti Blue Bombshell, and the sparkle is Confetti Party Palace Blue :)

What do you think of the result?



Oh and how could I forget?! This was Saturday's haul, and believe it or not, I was actually good today and didn't buy more! :)



Happy Painting!! :D

letting the creative juices flow!

First off, how do you guys like the new look of my blog? I changed it up tonight :)

Secondly, yay for new polish! I went to Sally Beauty and CVS Pharmacy today and I got a total of 13 new polishes for $29 total, not too shabby right? :D That also included two nail files, a nail art pen with stencils and toe separators :)

Here is my haul for the day!



So I decided to get a little more creative today and try some things that I had seen and also just do some swatches of all the colors I have thus far :)

Here is my first attempt to do "notebook nails", a friend of mine found and posted a picture of these and I fell in love! I thought, "how perfect will this be once fall semester starts!" Here is the original picture that I saw http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6c4xzLtt81qcf4fho2_500.jpg and my version is below, granted it's not as clean but I don't have all the tools I need to do it really nice yet, I just wanted a practice go at it, not too bad right?



Then I tried my hand at a tape mani again (idea came from this blog http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/) I thought the pink and green would be super cute with a watermelon in the middle, what do you think?



One of the new colors I got today is Finger Paints brand and is called "Tiffany imposter" and what girl doesn't like Tiffany & Co right? Personally I love seeing my little blue boxes every Valentines Day (what can I say, I'm a lucky girl) but now I want to see it on my nails! Here is my idea of a Tiffany & Co. box, thoughts?



And last but not least are my color swatches so far, I did them in rainbow order because I'm a little OCD about things like that :) The last three on the second color wheel are holo glitters:)




I would love suggestions on what I should try next!

Happy painting!
