BOOM BOOM


I have been obsessed with pink polish, so I have been trying to get my hands on any shade I can. This pink is Boom Boom by Sinful Colors. This is a raspberry type of pink. I added some leopard print. I haven't done this print in a while. I love leopard print, it's a simple design that you can do so many ways and looks nice.

Pink Fever

I am still loving pink. This is my second mani with this color, Sinful Colors Pink Forever. This color is soooooo worth it. I used black acrylic paint for the design.

Try it on Tuesday

Here is my second post for Try it on Tuesday. I have been loving pinks lately. This is Sinful Colors Fusion Neon. This color is amazing. It was very hard to capture the true color of this bright shade. Of course it was raining outside, so I couldn't get any outdoor pics. For the design, I used black acrylic paint. 

Studs and Glitter

I tried something a little different for this mani. I don't normally wear glitter polishes and I don't own that many. I used Sinful Colors Pink Forever, Banana Republic Champagne Toast, and China Glaze Blonde Bombshell. I also used gold studs that I got fro Born Pretty. I love this mani. I was outside most the weekend and this looked great in the sun.

New Dots...


Still trying to come up with various dot manis...
I purchased the base color yesterday. It is Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver. I am a sucker for this color. I have about 6 different shades of this minty blueish green color. It reminds me of China Glaze For Audrey. I used black acrylic paint for the dots. My dotting tools were other side of paintbrush and a toothpick. Enjoy!

Me

Try it on Tuesday

This is my first post for the Try it on Tuesday series hosted by Jillian at Jilltastic Nail Design. We have to use a nail polish that we own but have never tried. I love this because it will force me to use the many polishes I haven't touched since I bought them. :) Today I used China Glaze Electric Beat. I love this polish but it is had to photograph the true color of it. It reminds me a bit of Secret Periwinkle. Enjoy!
It was really hard to get the lighting right for this. It was late when I did this so no chance for sun.. :( This is a blue gray purplish color. 

I added some nail art to it. I loved the dot mani I did the day before, so I tried it again with a different color combination. I think if I did it again I would choose a different color for the dots. 




Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Me

Blast from the Past...

I just started this blog recently but I have some manis that I did before. I want to show some of the older manis that I have done. So here it goes....

This mani  did while experimenting with nail foil. I used gold nail foil for the accent finger. I added gold rhinestones to the other nails. Hope you like it!!!
You can also check out some of my older manis at www.jnjnails.tumblr.com

New Dot Mani!!!

I have a weakness for dot manis, so I am constantly trying to think of new ways to use my dotting tools. I really really really llllloooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeee this mani. I would like to try it with different colors to see   how it would look. For this one, I used Caribbean Coral by Sally Hansen and blue acrylic paint for the dots. I used a paintbrush and a toothpick to make the dots.

Here is Caribbean Coral on its own:
It was hard to capture the true color of this polish. It looks different in different lighting..Still working on how to capture a good nail pic :p

Here is the mani with the dots:

Enjoy!

Sally's Haul





I went to Sally's to pick up some hair stuff and I browsed the clearance section. They had the China Glaze Electropop Collection on sale. I picked up Electric Beat and Wicked Style for $3.29 each. :) Thinking about going back to get the rest.

Obsessed With Dots

                                                          


So....I am obsessed with finding various objects to use as a dotting tool. I love the different looks you can achieve with dots and how they look. So here begins a series of dot manicures..


I love this neon yellow color. It's Sinful Colors Neon Melon. I used black acrylic paint for the dots. I used the end of a paintbrush, a bobby pin and a toothpick to create the dots.. These are really bright outdoors.

Sincerely,
Me
I haven't been on this blog for a while. I don't what it is about this blog, but my mind goes blank when I go post. I am going to commit to posing a least twice a week. Since I haven't posed any of my pics, I will post some of my older manis until I catch up....wish me luck... :)
