Monster High Inspired

My daughter had gotten Monster High books for Christmas one year and the artwork from one of the cover's inspired this mani. I used SH Miracle Nails for a base coat then 2 coats of SH's Hard As Nails White tip with SV on top, taped off part of my nail and did a coat of Claire's True Blu with another coat of SV. I finished off with taping another part of my nail and using Funky Finger's Pop Artist and a final coat of SV. I loved the way the colors look together! Hope you all like it too.

Green Diamonds

This mani is my latest one and I like how it looks. Unfortunately it has started to peel already because I was doing dishes which seems to make the polish "lift" off my nails. I started with 2 coats of SV base then 2 coats of L.A. Color's Summertime, a coat of Pure Ice's Party of Five, finishing off with SV top coat. Enjoy!

Golden Pink

As you can tell, I've been on a mani kick lately. It helps me calm down because I have to concentrate on doing as best as I can. Plus it takes awhile to crochet or knit something but I'm planning on taking pics of my past projects and posting about them. In the meantime, here is a mani..again :) I used SV base coat, 3 coats of L.A. Colors Seashell.  Over that I used SH Crackle's Coral Collide with a coat of SV top coat. The picture doesn't do it justice as the Coral Collide has a hint of gold shimmer that doesn't really show up.

Subtle Glitter

It has been a long time since I've blogged and am trying to get back into it now that I'm hopefully ahead in the area of things to write about. So here is my latest mani  :) I used Seche Vite for my base, L.A Color's Purple Delight for the base coat, SH Gem Crush's Bejeweled, then a very light layer of Purple Delight over top, then a topcoat of Seche Vite. My accent nail has a fimo flower with no glitter. 

 

Dragon-y

I haven't written lately because a friend of mine got me to join an online game. So I've been playing that. Also, was waiting on a better camera for pics but now I lost my charger and usb cord for it. So stuck using an older camera but that's alright...for now :) Anyhow, this is the mani I did yesterday. SaGreena the Teenage Witch with Blue Glitter Scales over top.

Sally Hansen's Crackle

I first saw Shatter nail polish last year in a Cosmo magazine, promoting the newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I loved the look but still haven’t gotten a chance to get any. Then Sally Hansen came out with the Crackle line. I went online to the website and a lot of reviews said that it hadn’t been worth the money. So I decided not to buy any SH Crackle. Well, two weeks ago, I bought SHC’s Fractured Foil. Typical me, I “saved” it for awhile. In the meantime I used SH HD’s Pixel Pretty.

That looked to plain to me, so I added SH C’s Fractured Foil over it.
And this was the final result I love it!

Palm Trees

This is a manicure from 2 weeks ago, when it was summer-like in my area. My honey had bought me, (and my daughter, we share the nail polish equally,) 4 nail polishes. I debated what color to use and decided on L.A. Colors’ Festive. With the warm, sunny weather, I used my nail art plate’s palm tree using WnW’s (Wet n Wild) SaGreena the Teenage Witch. I regressed with this mani as I got polish all over my cuticles and the art is obviously crooked. But practice makes perfect!
