Kiss Gel Dress Nail Stickers - Swatches and Review

Today I have a review of the new Kiss Gel Dress Nail Stickers.  They are nails stickers that you can put a gel top coat over (and put in the LED lamp) and it's supposed to last up to 2 weeks. You're then supposed to be able to peel them off your nails. 

Reverse Gradient Nails

I love new nail trends and when I saw this mani for the second time I knew I had to try it out. I first saw the design on a lovely nailboader and then again last night on the T.I & Tiny show. Tiny sported a dark pink mani with a white glitter gradient which was absolutely gorgeous.

I wanted to turn things up a notch so I tried it out over a darker base. The polishes I used were Nubar White Polka Dot and China Glaze Smoke & Ashes.

Excuse the awkward angles of the photos. I had to shoot my right hand because my left hand is under construction right now. Too many nail wraps at the moment :)

These are fun and super easy to do. I love the effect but I'll have to keep practicing to perfect the gradient.

If you know the nailboarder who first performed this design, please let me know so that I can give her credit for her work.

I'm also hosting a Spring Nail Art Contest. I would love to award you with some cool prizes. Click here to enter!



Thanks for stopping by! Have a happy polishing day ;D

Holiday Manis

Hope you're enjoying the Holidays! I had a great Christmas but now all I want to do is sleep and eat chocolate chip cookies. Part of me wants to get up and get moving but the other part wants to sit back, relax and enjoy the break :D

My current nail of the day is a foil stamp using the Red Angel plate RA-107. I really like the flower petal image so I tried it again with the Color Club Foil Collection over Wet N' Wild Black Creme. The outcome was a very dramatic but I like it!

The colors I choose were Cold Metal (blue), Perfect Molten (green), Hot Like Lava (pink) and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep. To create this look I randomly placed dots of each polish over the image then swiped. The colors will combine to create a swirled appearance. The silver is very dominant so you only need a smidgen.

I love this so much I might wear it for New Years Eve!

And my simple Christmas mani. I used 1 coat of Wet N' Wild Hallucinate and sponged Milani Melt In The Sun over it. The nail decal is by Born Pretty.

And those are my Holiday manis. Until next time, Happy Polishing!

Leopard Foil Gradient Mani

Happy Monday! My day is blah so far but I hope yours is going better. If not, here's a little sunshine to cheer you up :D

This foil is called Wrapping Paper. I had to complete it twice because I forgot to apply a base color. It still wasn't completely opaque after applying a base, so I re-foiled the 1st two fingers. Can you tell the difference? If you look closely you can see the ridges on my pinky and ring fingers.

This foil is really bright and my least favorite so far, so I stamped over it. It would probably be better for the Holiday season, thus the name wrapping paper (ha ha). But I love the look with the leopard print stamped on top.

I switched it up to a French on the right hand. Yes, I'm lop-handed. I chipped 2 nails and decided to file them down instead of temporary wraps.


Well I hope this brightened your day, at least a little........... Until I polish again :)

China Glaze Neon Sun Rays

Here's a quick mani I did using China Glaze neons. It was originally supposed to be a neon gradient mani but I failed at that so I stamped sun rays on top of it. I used Chez Delaney plate number H5 and CG Flip Flop Fantasy and CG Pink Voltage. I love those name, lol. For stamping I used Konad white & LA Colors LIVE.
