52 Week Challenge presents Fish Braid with Non-Glitter Topper

Image
**Press Samples** This weeks challenge was super fun and I super love the way this came out. I love the color combo, I love the fish braid, and I love the way the non-glitter topper came out. I just love it.  So, a little bit about the colors... The prompt was to use a non-glitter topper. I immediately thought, "oh sooo easy". Yeah, not so much. I did decide to use a holo topper and my Fantasy Fire for this prompt. I think they worked out great. I haven't used my Fantasy Fire in a long time and I am glad that I dug it out. On top of the fish braid and non-glitter topper prompt, we also have to use our oldest polishes. That's why I dug that baby out. Anyway, I am absolutely going to use this one again because it looks so pretty over just about any polish. Evidence- look at these pictures!! Next weeks prompt is Flowers and Pale Blue. Colors Used: Max Factor- Fantasy Fire Zoya- Rooney Ozotic-534 Just Rica- Whiteout NOPI- On A Gilt Trip Maybel...

Glitter Bomb and Gradient

Glitter Bomb Baby!!! I was in the mood for a good glitter bomb in my life, so I just blew it up!! hehe This is another pic heavy post- so enjoy!! Anyway- I was give the OPI as a sweet kind gift and the rest I bought with my own monies! The first two pictures I have are the full hand full of glitter gradient. I really really like doing gradients and they are especially easy to do them with glitter. For some reason, I find they blend a little better. The remainder of the pictures are the OPI on all fingers except my accent finger which is the gradient. For the gradient, I had the OPI at the bottom and blended up to the Star Dust and then Pinky Glitter. I hope you enjoy this tick, tick, tick, tick BOOM dynamite! O PI- Metallic 4 Life Sinful Colors- Pinky Glitter Sin ful Colors- Star Dust

Gradient Glitter

Fancy me!!! I love this vampy combo!! This NOPI was one of the picks I got from my "nail lady" and I love it! I'm just not ready to break out my pastels full time for spring yet. I love dark colors and I very well may stay with them through the summer. I also really love doing glitter gradients. Some people can do phenomenal stamping and some people can do phenomenal waters...me- I can do pretty good gradients. I also want to add, that I am really trying to make an effort with posting every day. My life, as you know, has been pretty crazy lately. My nails are my therapy. Often times, I just paint them and then never document them. I really want to start showing the world my love. Now that my nails have finally grown and my NailTek is working wonders, I can do some cool things. Well I hope you enjoy my vampy welcome to spring mani!     NOPI- Shoot for the Maroon Sally Hansen Gem Crush- Bling-tastic

52 Week Challenge- Violet

Image
Now that my winter challenge is wrapping up, I can try to concentrate on my 52 weeker. The winter challenge will be changing to a monthly one, so that will be good. Any, the challenge was violet. Soooo many things I can do. I choose my Jindie matted out because a) I found it and b) it turned out gorg (just as I pictured in my head). Back story: I wanted to try this Jindie when I first bought it. I pulled it out, ended up cooking dinner, cleaning up and putting my kids to bed. I sat down to do my mani and "BAM" it was gone! I suspected my daughter of taking it and asked her for a straight week where it was. She told me "no" every time! Welp, a couple weeks later, I found her stash!! 3 polishes, lip gloss, a sponge, several key chains and about $5 in change! Mini kelpto if I can say so! So, I put it back in my untrieds and just recently stumbled upon it again. I thought it would match perfectly with my violet so it was my accent for this challenge. AND IT DID! I hope ...

Needle Sizzle!!

Last night was my Christmas, yes I said Christmas, party for the bar I moonlight at. I wanted to go with a sassy mani and I knew for some time I wanted to retry the needle art I did during Christmas. I did! I looove these colors! Even though I say I am a dark color girl, I love Barbie colors. I got a lot of compliments and questions about how I did it! Lets hope I got some more followers from it!! I love these and I have another combo that I am going to pull out in a couple weeks! Enjoy!

Ecopolo Week!!

Good thing I have the best neighbor probably in the whole nail polish world! A Little Polish let me borrow Ecopolo last week and I knew I was saving it for a good time. Well my Ecopolo group is now having themed weeks. So at first I was sooo excited because I love this groups. The girls are really fab! As I have mentioned before, I am already part of 2 other weekly challenges, so hopefully I can keep up with this one! Anyway, this week is Ecopolo Week. We do have a polish, which are in the pictures, called Ecopolo. I was also thinking that if I have time, I would like to feature the polish of some of the other ladies in the Ecopolo group that make polish. I do have a busy polish week with Pretty Little Liars coming back- look for that tomorrow! Again, anyway, Amy's Nail Boutique made Ecopolo and it's a beaut! Great application and very very VERY pretty! Enjoy! NOPI- I've got Bieber Fever Amy's Nail Boutique - Ecopolo
