Temporary Tattoos

Hey guys!

Today I have a simple manicure inspired by Nail Newbee to show you!

For the manicure I started off with a nude base of piCture pOlish Cherish on my middle finger, pointer and thumb, and a bright green/blue base of piCture pOlish Chillax on my ring finger and pinky. Afterwards I applied gold temporary tattoos to the nail on my middle finger and up the finger all the way up my hand.

How cool are these temporary tattoos? I need more!

piCture pOlish Nail Art Quarterly

Hello ladies!

Yesterday I participated in the new piCture pOlish Nail Art Quarterly competition on my Instagram! Today I will show it here as well! The theme was Flower Power and I made a skittlette featuring Hibiscus flowers.

For the manicure I started off with a nude base of Cherish on all my nails except for my pinky, which I painted pink with Sizzle. Then I freehanded the Hibiscus flowers on my middle and ring finger with Sizzle, O'hara, black acrylic paint and a small nail art brush.

I really like how this floral nail art turned out!

Funky French

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple nail art to show you - a funky french manicure!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of OPI Alpine Snow on all my nails. Afterwards I used black striping tape to make the simple, french manicure design.

The striping tape I used for this nail art is from Born Pretty Store. It comes in a 0.8 mm tape roll (#20356 in the color #15) and there is a lot of other colors to choose from.
I really like this striping tape as it is different colors than normal striping tape (matte pastels instead of shiny metallics), it is easy to use and because it so cheap (it is only $0.99!).

This french manicure is so simple, yet so cool!

F.U.N Lacquer Million Dollar Dream

Hello ladies!

Today I have another F.U.N Lacquer swatch to show you guys - this time it is of Million Dollar Dream!
Million Dollar Dream is a gold holographic glitter in a clear base.

The formula was good - a little on the thick side, but that just made it easier to apply. The glitter pay-off was amazing and it is opaque on its own in three thin coats or one coat followed by one sponged coat. It does dry a little textured so you will need to add a generous layer of top coat to smooth it out.

Another beautiful F.U.N Lacquer! I need more! I need more holo in my life!

She sells sea-shells...

Hi girls!

Today I have a manicure inspired by Cathy at More Nail Polish to show you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a blue base of Essie Salt Water Happy on all my nails, except for my pinky on which I applied the silver texture polish OPI It's Frosty Outside. Afterwards I applied silver striping tape, pearls, silver caviar beads, and silver shell studs to my middle and ring finger.

The silver shell studs I used for this manicure is from Born Pretty Store. They come in a wheel (#21238) with shell studs, starfish studs and square studs - each in two different colors and two different sizes.
I really like these studs as they are perfect for summer, easy to use, and because they are so cheap (the wheel costs $4.39 for a lot of studs!).

These shell studs are the cutest and this manicure is perfect for summer!

Leopard

Hey guys!

Today I have some leopard nail art to show you guys. To me a leopard manicure is the perfect pallet cleanser (when speaking of nail art).

For the manicure I started off with a nude base of OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around on all my nails. Afterwards I followed my own tutorial using a dotting tool, the brown nail polish OPI Ice-Bergers & Fries, and black acrylic paint.

I love a good leopard manicure!
