Abstract Nails

Hey guys! Today's look makes me think of when you go to the art museum and you're standing at that one painting that just looks like a bunch lines and a blob and you're really trying to understand it but really don't. Well that's what my nails are doing to me right now and I love it! I used 2 coats of SinfulColors Dream On and then went in with Konads Special Polish in Black and stamped plate M64. I'm in love with the color Dream On and I didn't know this until I started painting my nails but it drys almost matte!!! I was so excited because I have been wanting a matte finish polish! It's like if matte and shine had a love child, I wish I would have taken a picture :( What do you think about matte finish nail polish?

Gold Leopard Print

Hey guys! For today's look I started off with 3 coats of Wet N' Wild Megalast in the color Sugar Coat. I then went in with Konads Special Polish in the color Black and stamped the leopard print off of image plate M57. After staring at the design for hours I felt like is was lacking something but I wasn't sure what it was. I started by putting a stripe going diagonally along the design with SinfulColors nail art in Pot O Gold and I knew I really messed it up. In a panic I tried filling in the some of the open dots with the gold polish as well but it really didn't help the problem. Looking back I realized I really should have just left it alone hahaha. Even though this isn't my favorite I can't complain, it's not that bad. Hope you guys are having a great day!

Blue Streak Cow

Hey Guys! I did it!!! I cut all my nails off!!!! I was getting super sick of my long nails and not being able to use the full image stamps on them and then I sliced open my daughter's head with my thumb nail and that was the last straw, they had to go! Today's look is what my husband likes to call a teal cow mani. I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen INSTA-DRI  in the color Blue Streak  and then went in with Konad's special polish in black and stamped the cow like image off of plate M61. I sealed in the design with Seche Vite Top Coat and I had just a teeny tiny bit of smudge action but you and even notice it. I am loving my short nails so much right now and can't wait to try a super dark color out on them! Hope you all enjoyed! If you haven't entered my giveaway then go check it out and enter HERE.

Anti Valentine's Day Manicure

Hey guys! My mother came up with this awesome idea to do an anti V-Day mani but to make it more like a ransom note. The first time I tried it I used larger letters and it turned out horrible, so smaller letters worked out way better! First, I clipped letters out of a Home and Garden magazine making sure I had a few extra on hand just in case I messed up. Second, I applied 2 coats of my base color and waited till they were completely dry. Third, I applied the letters with a small dab of elmer's glue and held it down with my finger for a few seconds. Fourth, I sealed in the letters with my Seche Vite Top Coat. Fifth, I Chose an image off of my nail plates that best fit the word and stamped my thumbs. I hope you all enjoyed this creative mani! Comment below and let me know what you think!

Hey guys! I used 2 cots of Wet N' Wild's Candy-licious and then went in with Konad's special polish in black and used image plate M3 and B87 for Hello Kitty and the bows. You could always put a little rhinestone in the middle of each bow to add a even more girly feel to the look.

Significant other color

So I tried to do a more romantic/girly look today but failed horribly! First I had to use 4 coats of O.P.I's significant other color because it was so sheer. Then when I went to stamp my nails the stamp only covered half of my nail. Overall It's very pretty and It's growing on me.

O.P.I Cuckoo For This Color Review

 I decided to bring out my M.A.S.H plates to play! On my nails I have O.P.I's Cuckoo For This Color with Konad's special polish in silver! CFTC is such a rich and creamy polish that really you could go just use one coat of it. I highly recommend  getting this color if you love green!
