Hey Lovelies! Are you in love with all the amazing water marbling nails that people do but you just can't seem to get it to work for you or you just cant be bothered with the mess it creates?

For this look I started out with a radial gradient using Wet n' Wild's Megalast polish in the color I Red A Good Book and Sinful Color's Midnight Blue. Once that was dry I went in with my white polish and stamped the water marble image. 

How awesome is this stamp?!?!? I love how flawless this plate worked. My white polish is getting old so it wasn't transferring real great but I made sure it was only the white polish and not the plate by testing it out with other colors. I am looking forward to working with this plate more.

Hey Lovelies! Today I am bringing you another Born Pretty Store nail stamping plate! BP-L005 is an amazing plate with gorgeous designs and many of them look like water marbling!!

Hey Lovelies! Today is day 11 of the 31 Day Challenge and we are doing polka dots! Let me start off with saying please don't make fun of my poor dotting skills!

Neon Gradient Leopard Print

Hey Lovelies! Today I used the whole China Glaze Poolside Collection to create this awesome 80's gradient leopard print look. First I did one coat of Wet n' Wild's Break The Ice and then on my pointer finger I used Flip Flop Fantasy and Towel Boy Toy. On my middle finger I used Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and Kiwi Cool-Ada. On my ring finger I used Sun Worshiper and Pool Party. Finally on my pinky finger I used Kiwi Cool-Ada and Towel Boy Toy. For the leopard print I used Wet n' Wild's Black Creme and White French Creme. If you would like to learn how I create my leopard print nails then check out my Funky Leopard Print Nails + Tutorial. 

If you think these are awesome then please swing over to Pink Tattoo's Facebook Page and vote for my entry in her contest that is going on now. Hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday Fun Day!!!! 

Try It On Tuesday

Hey Lovelies I'm back!!!! Sorry I've been MIA lately but I have been super busy with birthdays, family and I had a bit of a polish block going on. Today I decided to go a bit out of my comfort zone and played with some dots. I know dots shouldn't be out of my comfort zone but to tell you the truth I am horrible at making a good dot! So for this mani I used Wet n' Wild's Haze of Love as my all around base color and then on my ring finger I went in with my dotting tool and dotted China Glaze's Happy Go Lucky and Wet n' Wild's Haze of Love on top of the large dots. 

Why does it look like I have Zombie hands?!?!? How embarrassing they never look this bad!!! 

Let me just add that I am in love with this Wet n' Wild color! It is a beautiful rich reddish/purple brown that will for sure compliment all skin tones. Hope you all enjoyed! 

4th of July Nails

Hey Lovelies! Happy 4th of July!!!!  For today's look I started out with one coat of OPI's Original Nail Envy and one coat of Wet n' Wild's I Red A Good Book. I then did one coat of OPI's Blue Shatter and then one coat of OPI's Pirouette My Whistle on only my ring finger. I sealed it all in with a coat of Seche Vite and instantly the blue and glitter popped!

 I feel like I need to print a retraction because last time I used the blue shatter it didn't shatter and I loathed it. Now I can say that I think it was because my two colors were too similar. Are you wearing red white and blue today? Feel free to post a photo on my Facebook or twitter page! Have a wonderful and safe holiday!

Funfetti Birthday Nails

Hey Lovelies!! I have an awesome nail look for you today because It's my birthday!!!!! I was originally going to do pink nails with white cupcakes and stars all over but since I won this beautiful Indie polish a few days ago from My Lacquer Family I knew I had to use it! For this look I started off with 2 coats of Wet n' Wild's Tropicalia and then did 2 coats of Utopia 's End of the Road. I sealed it all in with a coat of Seche Vite. 

I totally feel like I could eat these nails up! I know peoples biggest concern when buying glitter Indie polish is the curling.... this polish had a few curlers but nothing that I would get crazy over and honestly it could have been how I applied it (I am horrible at applying chunky glitters lol). All in all I will totally be buying more from Utopia!

Mint Glitter Bomb

Hey Lovelies! For today's look I did 2 coats of Wet n' Wild I Need A Refresh-Mint and then 3 coats of Funky Fingers Flashing Lights. I can not express you you guys how in love I am with this manicure! I mean come on it has two of my two favorite things in the world... the color mint and glitter! 

Vintage Rose Tutorial

Hey Lovelies! I have had so many requests to do a tutorial on how I achieved my Pink and Red Vintage Rose look I did back in April. Check out my original Pink and Red Vintage Rose Nails for more pictures.
