Pinterest Inspiration Week, Day 6, Pink Leopard.

Hey guys! Here today with day 6 of Pinterest inspiration week :) Today's post is defiantly me! Pink pink pink! I love pink, it's my favorite color, so of course when I saw today's pin I had to do it! The pin is here there is no blog post with it. **warning** I did have a causality on my pinky finger, it's just horrible!! The horror!! I lost all of the overhang so it is a severe nub right now :*(

For those of you that follow me on Twitter  will have seen that I was able to get my hands on 7 of the 12 China Glaze Summer Neons all half off at Sally's a few days ago, and yesterday I was able to snag one more! So of course I had to use one of them for today's post :)

I started with two coats of China Glaze Flirty Tankini, and wow I don't know why I didn't jump on these colors when they first came out! I am seriously in love with this pink. It's hard to see in pictures but it's got a super subtle shimmer in it, it's just so pretty! I used Kleancolor Metallic Pink to stamp with, and the stamp itself is just a generic plate from the little as seen on tv stamping set.

For those of you that don't know, the Kleancolor metallics work amazing for stamping! I plan to order the rest soon :)

For some reason my camera, lightbox and light were not working with my pinks! So I turned the flash on so that you're able to see the colors, in person it was easy to see :)

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Summer Fun Challenge, Fun In The Sun!!!

Hey guys! Here today to regretfully say that it's the last day (or post) of the Neverland Nail Blog's summer nail art challenge *womp womp* BUT I'm super excited to see what everyone has done! Today's theme is fun in the sun, anything goes!

The last few times that I've been in WalMart I've seen this pair of shorts, booty shorts that I would never wear mind you (well if I was skinny yea haha) but still. The print on them is very much me. I'm not sure if you guys saw the post last time where I got my idea from a piece of clothing from WalMart but if not, you can see it here.

For this mani I used OPI The Color of Minnie, Essie Orange It's Obvious, Wet N Wild How I Met Your Magenta, and Color Club Almost Famous. I used a makeup sponge to individually sponge on the colors randomly on each nail, it took a while but I think it paid off! After the sponging was done I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and a small dotting tool to draw on all of my leopard spots, covered with a quick dry top coat and done! Clean up was a bit of a pain because I was like my 2 year old coloring outside of the lines, but it's all good ;)

I'm still experimenting with my lightbox, the light filters, backgrounds etc, so be patient! Hopefully I'll have something set in stone next week on what I like best. The dark color seems to work better than white, so I think I'll be off to a craft store for black card stock!

Here's a pic with flash to try and show you a bit more of the difference with the colors :)

And here are the shorts that inspired this fun mani!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Ready for spring! Leopard nails

Hey guys! I'm going to start off with a quick funny story...we have an old house, there are cracks and little holes in the wall etc...saw what my old man describes (after he heard the story from me lol) as a "monster" running and hiding behind the stove...freaked me out because I wasn't expecting it! Well I set the no kill (I'm not a fan of killing cute little furry things, unless it's a cow or chicken because ommm nom nom) trap with some cheddar cheese in it. Later that night I hear it moving around in the trap, tell the old man to get a box so we can go release it in a field down the street. Soooo we put it in the box, and of course I want to see it. It's a super cute little brown mouse, and holy hell it scared the living day lights out of me! That sucker almost jumped completely out of the box, I had NO idea mice could jump like that. Needless to say the old man thought it was hilarious, and honestly I did too...so there is your laugh for the day ;) There will be a pic of it at the end :P

So anyway, spring! I know it's a bit early but it's been a pretty mild winter were and flowers are already blooming. I wanted to do something fun and girly in spring colors. I choose to use Picture Polish Jade as my base color, I used WnW ink well for my black stamping, and the pink is China Glaze it's poppin.

Two coats of jade were used, took a pic in the sun to show the beautiful subtle shimmer *swoon*, it's a beautiful polish!

What do you guys think?


Oh and here is the mouse, in mid jump haha, this is what it did when I jumped about 3 feet backward!

Until next time, happy painting!
