Brown and Gold for Fall!

Hey guys!! Yes I know you're in shock that I'm posting! I've been keeping up a bit more with my Facebook page (link is on the side, go like me!) because it's quick and easy to do from my phone. But for the most part I have been SLAMMED with school!! Only a month left until break!

So today even though I'm not a huge fan of really dark colors I decided I wanted to do some brown. Thanksgiving is less than a week away so I figured it would be appropriate. Doubt it'll be on more than a few days, but ya know ;)

So I've got two coats of Orly Buried Alive as a base, its got this beautiful golden shimmer in it, and then I did a glitter gradient with Essence Snow White The Huntsman, which is this super pretty golden glitter. I'm digging the end result!

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.

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.

Until next time! Happy painting!

Super Girly Hello Kitty Nails!

Hey guys! Here today with something a little special. Rebecca over at Rebecca Likes Nails is doing a nail art contest for her favorite nail art things, which are gradients, animal prints, dots, Hello Kitty and bows. Knowing her a bit I also know she is obsessed with cupcakes just like myself, so I wanted to add that in as well!

I started with one coat of OPI DS reserve, sponged on OPI DS signature in the middle, and on the tips I sponged on OPI DS reflection. This on it's own was beautiful! But I wanted to go all out for this one! I started my nail art with the little Hello Kitty face on my middle finger, it's my first time trying to draw/do nail art of her at all so I think I did a pretty good job! Then I did a Hello Kitty bow on my thumb with OPI flower to flower (it's also the pink in the cupcake and the Hello Kitty) and then a cupcake on my pinky finger. I finished off with a leopard stamp on my pointer finger, and zebra stamping on my ring finger. My right hand I just alternated the two stamps.

Oh there are also little pink rhinestones in the middle of both bows :)

It's beautiful outside again today, so I took pictures in my front yard :)

So what do you think? I'm kind of in love with it!

Until next time! Happy painting!
