10 Day Challenge - Day 4 Animal Print

Okay okay. I had to go back and save this horrible mani. When things don't turn out the way you want them just paint over them. Oh don't you wish life was that simple, lol. Luckily that does apply with nail polish. To save this mani I added Sally Hansen Mint sorbet on top of Savvy Prince Ala Charm. Huge improvement!

I really should invest in a light box so I don't bring you guys any terrible photos again. Please let me know if you know of a good tutorial!

Here's the original mani in case you missed it. Fail!

If I was reading ahead I would have noticed blue was for day 5 anyways, lol. Reading is fundamental! Have a great day everyone :)

Marbled Zebra Design

Happy Saturday! Just wanted to share my NOTD. It started out as a marble foil but I wasn't happy with the design, so I stamped over it using Konad plate M57. I stamped diagonally half zebra and half leopard. It looks much better now.

Happy polishing! Thanks for stopping by.

Kitty Meets Zebra - A Wild Look for the Weekend

This started off as a swatch of Sea Spray, which is beautiful by the way, but I ended up smudging my nails so I stamped over it. I don't think I'll ever tire of animal prints.

These were made using China Glaze Sea Spray, White Cap and Misa Hot Couture.

My thumb nail is too large for the single stamp, so I double stamped it with half zebra & half kitty from M57. I only used White Cap to cover the bottom 1/3 of my nails.

It's a wild, yet mellow look. I'm slowly beginning to fall in love with neutrals.

I hope you enjoyed this design. Have a great weekend!

Lace and Flowers

I didn't get a chance to do a MJ mani, but here's one I did last week. I almost forgot about it until I saw Parokeets post.

For stamping I used image plate M57 with Fauxnad A01 Flowers. The polish is Carolyn New York Castle Hill.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend :)

Blue Zebra

Hello all! Just a quick post to share my NOTD. I have a presentation due tomorrow :(


But the great news is that I'm on break next week!!! Yay!!!! And I have a lot of Holiday mani's planned to do. Hope you're having a great day!

Products used: Finger paints Blissfully Blue & Color Club Snowflakes.

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 :)

OPI Mad As A Hatter meets Konad M57

Happy Saturday! Hope you all are having a wonderful day! What do you have planned for today? I'm taking my girls to see Karate Kid, lol. I hear it's a pretty good show. We tried to go last week but it was sold out. We couldn't go to a later show because it was too close to dinner time. Well I'm getting my tickets early today :)

For this mani, I wanted a look similar to Minx nails. I tried to duplicate the shiny look with OPI Mad As A Hatter. It's so purrrrty and I hope you like them. Was I mad for stamping over MAAH???

Products used:
Base: LA Colors Live (silver)
Glitter: OPI Mad As A Hatter
Image plate: Konad M57
Stamping: Color Club Where's The Soiree (black)

Geez Louise!!! I love this polish in the sun!!!

That's all for now. Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Playboy Bunny Manicure

Today was a challenging day for my nails. I accidently chopped off part of one while slicing onions for a burger. I was trying to avoid adding another dish to what seems to be an endless pile. I know this was a silly thing to do but it was a small way of trying to keep the house clean. Don’t worry, I’ve learned my lesson and won’t try that again in the future.

I also broke a thumb nail today but I didn’t mind that so much since it tends to scratch my eye whenever I remove my contact lenses. So I guess that was for the best. To even things out, I filed down all of my nails. I’m not sure of the length I’ll maintain them at. I like the idea of having short nails so that I can take advantage of the full nail image plates. They also look sleek when there are no gaps or inconsistencies on the nail. I’ve been doing okay with doubling the stamp but it can be time consuming and not as pretty as shorter nails.

Here’s my naughty mani for today. I wanted to do something playful since it’s the weekend and time for some fun. I’ve also been obsessed with foil & minx manis and wanted something shiny. This is what I came up with and I hope you guys like it.

I received the Playboy bunny image plate as part of a fauxnad set purchased on ebay. I also used Konad plate M57 for the fishnet design and fauxnad Konad M44 plate for the French. I wasn't too happy with the left hand so I switched it up a little on the right. What do you think?

Fauxnad plate M79 - Playboy image

Konad plate M57 – fishnet

Konad plate M44 – double French

Silver - LA Colors LIVE (silver)

Black – CC Where’s the Soiree?

Pink – SH Strong Blush

Zebra Skittles

Happy Friday!!! I hope you all are doing well and ready for a long weekend. I wanted to do a fun mani using the new Wet n Wild colors and I got this idea from a LHCF member.

The colors I used are WnW:
Lime - Mint Fusion
Orange - Candy Apple Twist
Yellow - Lemon Drops
Purple -Berry Jubilee.

I also used French manicure stickers that were part of a Nailene kit, Konad plate M57 & Color Club "Where's the Soiree" black. I normally use Seche Vite but this time I used Poshe topcoat and the zebra design immediately smeared. So I switched back to Seche.

This is a fun mani for the weekend that will go great with different summer outfits. And of course dear daughter wanted to get in on the fun so I painted her toes. At first I thought the zebra print would be too mature but the bright colors soften the look.

WARNING!!!!! THERE ARE TOE PICTURES BELOW!!!! LOL

Well I hope you guys enjoyed this mani. I'll try post my Memorial Day mani soon. Have a great Holiday!!!
