Hi Everyone!! Happy Friday! Today I'm able to combine 2 themes into 1 and 1 of them was not by choice lol! OMG this is another episode of When Mani's Attack it's happened right here during a Digit-al Dozen week! I had the very best intentions for this mani. I worked hard on it last night. It took me a couple of hours and BLECH! It is awful. I was going for rainbow roses and instead I got grandma's ugly church dress.
My friend Sara says you should fairy dust anything that doesn't work--not even fairy dust could save this baby!
The real crying shame is I don't have time to take this off and put on something better before I head to the wine tasting fund raiser I'm attending tonight!
Here's the look I was going for!
I guess this just goes to show for every high you have like yesterday's simple blue over dark brown mani something like this baby comes along LOL! Nothing like reality slapping you in the face!
Looks like I'm going out with a whimper but I bet the rest of my crew isn't! Let's go check em out!
Hi Everyone!!! I finally have a floral on today I like! Stop the presses!!! Call the Pope! Can we get this witnessed as a miracle! I was sitting home last night trying to do something cool and the first mani I tried was not cool. It was not cool at all. So now here it is getting pretty late AND I have a new book to read so I need to be in bed by 9pm so I can read until midnight (hahaha okay I usually fall asleep around 11) and I was running out of time. I bought all the OPI Nordic Collection recently and felt bad I hadn't really given any of them the love they deserve so I pulled out the very pretty dark brown creme How Great Is Your Dane? and decided to do something with it.
Thanks to the help of MoYou Princess 14 and Mundo Blue this cute mani came to life!
I had to matte it because that's what all the cool kids in the Digit-al Dozen are doing with their flower mani's!
There is something really striking about dark brown and blue together I think
Thumbie looks so cute!!
OPI's How Great Is Your Dane is a gorgeous dark brown. I can't wait to do some gradienting with this one!
Whew I finally feel good about one! BUT let's see what everyone else cdame up because I might get knocked down a couple of notches!
Hi Everyone!! Happy Wednesday! I'm not going to lie to you all but this floral week is killing me. I am really not a floral person! I mean come on! How many times have you seen me posting some floral mani's????? Not very often that's for sure! I am just having a really hard time coming up with something that looks great. I mean come on have you seen the rest of the mani's everyone is doing? SMH . . . .
I asked my friends the other night what colors would look good with a nice bright turquoise holo and my friend Ashley spouted off hot pink, yellow and purple. So hot pink, yellow and purple it is!
So the downside to this pretty bright 70's throwback look was it's been pouring cats and dogs out so no sunlight pic for this pretty holo from Darling Diva
This is the pretty Take Down The God Damn Freda Sign from DDP's Pageant Collection. If you love it you can find it HERE
It's very bright and just plain gorgeous!
My flowers are from CiCi & SiSi and I used the decal method. I can handle the decal method when it's easy like this one!
I'm going to pop over and get insanely jealous by everyone else's stuff, come with me!
Hi Everyone! Holy cow talk about a wet one! It has been raining since yesterday for crying out loud. The only saving grace is the fact it's not too cold. Cold and rainy is an icky combo--this I can live with. We're supposed to get more rain tomorrow too! YIKES
That being said I decided to haul out a little bit of sunshine and get some more bright flowers on my nail to ward off this wet and rainy weather. I was able to get the VL3 plate which can be found on Aliexpress through a group buy and this little daisy image is just too cute so I decided to make some blackeyed susan's out of it!
Now this is definitely something sunny and cheerful!
It's really hard to capture the blue of Pacific Blue with my camera though! This is as close as I could get it!
Let's tip toe through the tulips and see is anyone did any today for our Floral week!
Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! I actually won a Fantasy Football game yesterday AND my mom and I went to see Gone Girl so really great day for me yesterday. Have you seen that Gone Girl movie? Holy cow that thing was a real nail biter! Thankfully I managed to rein myself in and my nails are still intact.
I recently required the very lovely OPI DS Classic from a friend who just wasn't feeling it anymore. I was so thrilled to snag it as it's truly gorgeous. It's a great nude scattered holo and it was the perfect backdrop for my floral mani today!
I also used my FUN 7 plate for the lovely flower stamping
I enlisted the "leadlight" technique and filled in the flowers with a lovely deep red jelly polish. Normally I hate jellies because of visible nail line, but they are perfect for doing leadlighting
I do love this combination of nude/brown and red how about you?
I'm stopping over to see what everyone else came up with today!
