Hi Everyone!!! Yesterday at work I noticed one of the girls outfits. She's pregnant and had on a cute turquoise maternity top with a leopard print shrug. I walked right up and told her how cute she looked and I think it made her SO happy because usually by the end of your pregnancy you are not feeling cute at all. When I got home I decided to recreate her outfit as a mani. I've done something like this before copying the fab Kayla Shevonne but in a half moon mani look. This time I went for the Ruffian and really love it. In fact I love it so much it might just be my Thanksgiving mani! But we'll see lol!
I started out with China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise and then topped it with Color Club Love Em, Leave Em--which is a nice subtle nude holo.
I'm not one for nudes but I love Love Em, Leave Em!!
I stamped using Sally Hansen Coco A Gogo and BM221. I love plate BM221, it's a fab animal print plate for sure!
I'm not sure if Allison will be impressed by this mani or not when I show it to her today at work but I surely will thank her for the inspiration for it!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!!
Hi Readers! Day 3 of the 31 Day Challenge and we're at yellow! I don't know if I've mentioned this before or not but yellow is my favorite color. I've been told I could spell yellow as a child before red or blue. Yellow roses are my favorite flower but despite loving yellow it does not love me back lol! I have very pale skin and I don't really "do" the sun so it remains pale all the time. Yellow is not a complimentary color to our paleys lol! I don't wear yellow nail polish often for that very reason. I'm always jealous of my friend Briana of Nail A College Drop Out because with her dark skin tone she wears and rocks yellow all the freaking time! I did manage to come up with something pretty cool for the challenge today though! I stamped yellow ON yellow! Yes I did! Woot!
I really didn't know if it could be done but I thought if I used a creme on metallic it might. But then I got the brilliant idea to try a creme over a glass fleck and BAM yellow on yellow!
I hauled out my Zoya Pippa and Color Club Daisy Does It and created this cute and sunny design
Then I got to thinking how would this look matte?
Pretty unusual actually
I think I prefer the shiny version how about you?
To get this look I stamped Zoya Pippa over Color Club Daisy Does It using Mash-40. I definitely like how this turned out so will be trying more cremes over the Color Club Take Wing collection.
For all those of you in states I hope you have a happy and safe Labor Day. Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! I have a mani that's right up my alley today only I'm not the one who thought it up! I found this via my friend Kim who found it on Pinterest a few days ago, which then made me wonder how come I didn't remember seeing it before! I love Nail Nerd's site LOTS OF AMAZING STUFF THERE! This is the lovely mani for today--it's so delish!
A super simple gradient using Color Club With Abandon which is an incredibly gorgeous deep chocolate brown glass fleck finish and then Funky Fingers Platinum Record.
The stamping is the sweet entwined heart which also looks like people kissing to me from BM212. I love this super sweet and easy mani!
Here's the gradient without the stamping--GORG!
If you haven't checked out Nail Nerd.com yet please do so! You can find her original mani here!
Here's a pic of her's though to compare
Looks like she's a lefty! Isn't it scrumptious??!!!!!!
And check out my latest ebay ring purchases! They look awesome with this mani!
As always I'm not alone in the fantasticalness that is MSMD!! Check out my partners in crime!
Hi Readers! Back when I was younger I totally felt the transition from bubblegum to adulthood gum was Juicy Fruit LOL. You know how it is you feel like you're too old to chew bubblegum but you're not quite ready for spearmint or peppermint so that pretty much left you with Juicy Fruit back then. Today's world has the gum industry swimming in stuff so you can pretty much get whatever you want! I had been wanting to do a glass fleck gradient for some time with my Color Club Take Wing Collection and I'm pleased to say it turned out great! I chose the yellow, orange and pink from the Take Wing Collection
I think this blended really well!
But you know me! I HAD to stamp on it!
I really love how striking the black looks against the bright colors of the gradient!!!
And because glass fleck finishes are naturally sparkly this mani looks SO juicy!!
I used BM308 to stamp my fruit and I'll say it again I LOVE THE NEW SET OF BUNDLE MONSTER PLATES!
Here's a pic of the polishes I used
In case you're old like me or just can't see microscopic writing the colors are Daisy Does It, Sparkle and Soar and Wing Fling
I'm planning another glass fleck gradient with this collection using the green, blue and teal next time--maybe something fishy????
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! If two wrongs don't make a right do two rights make a bada$$ mani??? Why yes! YES THEY DO! I know it seems crazy and inconceivable that I messed with my gorgeous glass fleck water marble from yesterday but I did just that. I say looking at my sparkly, twinkly mani and thought--what would this look like with Black Shatter over it??
BAM!
How does it look??? It looks freaking fantastic that's how it looks! Oh Shatter if loving you is wrong I don't want to be right!
This is just spectacular AND it's still mega sparkly!
Both my thumbs look great!
Left Thumb
Right Thumb
Here's my lovely collage!
Here's a before and after pic--really they both look great!
You'd think I'd stop while I was ahead but nope I kept on going!
Check out the matching jewelry I made for this mani!
Bracelet
Rings
Here they are together!
What do you think Readers? Was I crazy to cover up this awesome mani after only one day or did I make it even better???!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! This Monday starts the Monkey See, Monkey Do Monday mani's! As you know I did this for 2 weeks recently and what can I say some of my nail polish friends liked the idea so much they asked me if they could do it lol! I mean of course I said yes because it's so much dang fun--plus we all know Kristin has a huge crush on me (you know you do Kristin!) It's a simple concept really see a design out there on another blog, on pinterest, or just the internet and recreate that mani. I knew the second I saw this mani by Smashley Sparkles I had to do this! And thanks to her I HAD to have ALL the new Take Wing Color Clubs. It's my first and probably last Color Club collection lol! I'm not usually one for the entire collection but this one is AHmazing!! Glass fleck finishes Readers--yes you heard me THEY ARE ALL GLASS FLECK FINISHES!
I'm not going to lie this was not easy to do. The first time I tried it MAJOR FAIL. I was hacked off and then shocked trying to figure out how on earth she got the polishes to spread. I gave up walked away for an hour but came back and tried again and BAM this is what happened!
Holy Hannah do you see this???!!!! This is the most AHmazing, gorgeous water marble EVAH!
It's so sparkley!!!! Look at the right hand!
And as usual the thumbs turned out great!
Left Thumb
Right Thumb
Man it just keeps getting better!
I just love how this turned out! Thanks SO MUCH to Smashley Sparkles for doing it so I could copy it!
