KleanColor Polka Dots

Hi guys!

Today I decided to try something I rarely do. Rhinestones! Now lets be real sometimes rhinestones look awesome and other times they turn your nails into a gaudy mess! LOL So I tried to use the stones sparingly. I used all Kleancolor for this mani. Black(my favorite!), White, Neon Pink and I used pink and silver rhinestones. Heres a look at the supplies and my nails!

 

Kinda cute I think. I wish I had spaced the polka dots a little better. There is to much free space for my liking. But I still like them. The perfect mix of hard and soft. I love it!

Hi guys!

I'm back with another Pinterest inspired mani! Todays inspiration comes from "Nuthin' But a Nail Thing".

Here is the link to her original design.

When I came across this on Pinterest I knew IMMEDIATELY that I wanted to try it! I decided to go with a white to mint gradient with sort of a gradient polka dot effect. Here is what I used and how it looked!

-Essie Turquoise and Caicos 
-Kleancolor White

 AND because I think Matte is the coolest thing ever I decided to matte them! 

 

Matte Finish By Butter London is really great! I think its one of the best out there. I found this one on a blog sale for 8 bucks! Score!!!!!

So what do you guys think? I totally love these nails. Both matte and with a top coat. I want to do this mani over and over again with different colors! LOL 

Have a wonderful Friday! 

 

Untried Thursday

Hi guys!!!

I've decided that the only way I'm going to get through my MANY untrieds is to schedule a certain day every week reserved only for untrieds. So here we go! Slowly but surely perhaps I'll be able to use everything at least once! LOL

For today's post I'm using two untried Essies. The purple is Bond With Whomever and the glitter is a longtime lemming Set In Stones. Here it is!

Such a pretty combo! I love it! Hope you guys enjoyed. Until tomorrow Ciao!

Darling Diva Sugar Rush. YEEEEEEEE!!!!

Hi guys!

If you can't tell from my title I am pretty excited about my nails today! I received Darling Diva Sugar Rush in a swap recently and I was SO excited to finally try it. So here it is layered over China Glaze Moonlight with a coat of Out the Door to seal in all that prettiness!

 

 

Isn't it pretty!!!? The formula on this was pretty good. I didn't have to much trouble getting the chunky glitter out but occasionally I had to do a little bit of fishing. Nothing I couldn't handle! If you don't have any polishes from Darling Diva you  MUST get on that! You can find her polishes here and at Llarowes web site here.

Have a lovely day!!

Rainbow Gradient

Hi guys. Today I did a Rainbow Skittle Gradient. I decided to try my luck at gradients again and I think I did ok!

I apologize I wrote down all the colors I used but I can't find that paper anywhere! And I am too lazy to go upstairs and look for it! ahahahaha I used a total of 12 colors with a coat of glitter on top. I kinda dig them. Perfect for pride weekend!

Have a wonderful day!

Hola!

I have decided to start a new series on my blog! Basically every Friday I am going to post a Pinterest inspired manicure. I love Pinterest I think it is one of the greatest creations on earth! LOL! Like most people I can spend hours on that site and discover new things everyday. There are so many talented nail artists out there and I am always inspired by them, so that is why I've decided to do this series. Sort of like honoring the amazing talent that is out there! Plus it's a way for me to try out things that I never have. This should be a great learning experience for me.

 So for my first post I picked this design.

And here is what I did.

And the colors I used.

How did I do? I hope you'll continue to join me weekly and see what I've been inspired by.

Until next time. CIAO!

Kleancolor Neon Yellow and Glitzology Cruella

Hi guys!

Todays post is a fun bright yellow mani I did using Kleancolor Neon Yellow topped with Glitzology Cruella. Before I show you the nails. Can I just say how amazing Kleancolor is?! I am in love with Kleancolor my very good friend Dawn from It's A Bunny's World introduced me to Kleancolor a few months ago and I've been obsessed ever since.

She sent me about 16 or 17 and I love each and every one. They have a pretty thick formula which I love. I can get full opacity in about one coat. Of course I use two just to be sure the nail is completely covered. But if you were in a rush you could get by with one. The best part? They are SUPER cheap!!!! I found them here in Sacramento at the local Flea Market for $1 each! They have a variety of colors and finishes. She even found me some matte suede ones. They are awesome! Oh and they have quite a few holos. Which might not be a strong of a holo as say Enchanted. But they are pretty amazing to be only $1!

Ok, I've gushed about Kleancolor enough. On to the nails!

Isn't that yellow gorgeous!? Normally I'm not a huge fan of yellow. But I might just have to add a couple more to my ever growing stash! And I absolutely adore Glitzology. I've said it before but i'll say it again. She makes some awesome glitter bombs! You can find her shop here. Her shop is on vacation mode right now while she recovers from a back injury but be sure to check her out when shes back! 

I hope you guys enjoyed todays post. Ciao!
