Red Flakie Skittlette

Hey everyone! 

So lately it seems as if I have been stuck on doing mix n' match/skittlette manis! Today, I have yet another one for you! I really do love these types of manis, but I want to do more nail art! I have been in a rut recently, and I am feeling zero inspiration! If you have any suggestions, let me know!

For these nails, I chose a color scheme of red (which I also feel as if I am overusing) and black. I decided on Ciate Boudoir and Wet n' Wild Black Creme


On my middle finger I used some gorgeous red flakies. Lacey from Nail Glitter Princess on Etsy sent me a few glitters to play with (Thanks again!). She is super sweet and has great customer service! Shown is Fire Red Flakies that can be purchased here! Make sure and go check her out!!

Then on my ring finger and thumb I used some black nail studs from Winstonia Store.


I really love how classic black and red look together! What do you think? Thanks for stopping by!!

XOXO

Valentine's Day Mani 2014

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I hope every one of you have a wonderful day!! Wether it be with you special someone, or just a group of friends, have fun today!! I have another mani for you all, as I said I would in my last post. This is sort of a mix and match pink and glitter mani!!


They are so simple yet I could stare at them all day!! The pink is two coats of Sinful Colors Boom Boom. On my ring finger I have two coats of Salon Perfect Diamond Dust topped with one coat of OPI Which Is Witch. I also used Which Is Witch for the glitter gradient. The little diamond studs are from Winstonia Store.


Every time these catch the sun, the holo glitters just go crazy! What do you think of this mani? Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic heart day!

XOXO

Valentine's Day Nails!

Hello everyone!

It has been a few days since I have blogged, but I am back with a cute Valentine's Day nail design!  I think I might do one more themed mani before Friday, so be on the look out for that! I decided to keep it fairly simple, and took inspiration from my nautical mani that I did a little while ago!


I'm really happy with the way my stripes turned out! For the base of my accent nails I used OPI Alpine Snow. The gold is Julie G Metallic Heels. For the pink I used Sinful Colors Cotton Candy and the red is Revlon Revlon Red.


I am super happy with the way these turned out. I think the colors go together so well! What mani are you going to be wearing this Valentines Day? Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

Blue Dotticure!

Hello everyone!!

I was browsing through Instagram the other day and I came across a gorgeous mani by @ermahgerdperlish who is ever so talented! I knew that I just had to try and recreate it! I haven't really used a dotting tool much lately, and so I thought this would be great practice!


Aren't they super cute!? For the base I used two coats of OPI Alpine Snow. The accent nail is two coats of Nails Inc. Baker Street, THE most beautiful blue ever! The black dots are Wet N' Wild Black Creme and the glitter dots are Salon Perfect Diamond Dust. Surprisingly, this didn't take very long at all and I am super happy with the way they turned out!


Go check Kristin out on Instagram to see her stunning mani! I think that if I used pinks and reds, these could be super cute valentines nails! What do you all think about them? Thank you so much for stopping by!

XOXO

Super Bowl Sunday - Broncos Nails!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone!!

I am so excited to watch the Super Bowl! Tonight I am going to a party to watch the game! I'm a big football fan, so I thought why not do some nails for the occasion! I will be pulling for the Broncos tonight, and I hope that they can pull it off! I have faith that they will! I decided to stick to something simple and basic for my nails. Nothing too fancy, but they are still cute!!


I have recently been loving dotted gradients, so I decided to do one on my pinkie and pointer fingers! For my middle finger and thumb, I did orange on one side, navy on the other, and a white stripe down the middle! For both of these designs I used Wet N' Wild A Blank Canvas, OPI I Saw... U Saw... We Saw... Warsaw! (what a name!), and Sally Hansen Sun Kissed. On my ring finger I made a football! For the base I used Zoya Louise and for the laces I used A Blank Canvas again.



What do you guys think of this mani? Who will you be going for tonight?! I am so excited to get the festivities started! Thank you so much for stopping by! Have fun tonight and be safe!!

XOXO
