CopyCat Candy mani

When I saw this mani done by Luv My Lacquer I knew I had to replicate it. Since I had just picked up those exact polishes and had that same plate she used, well why not then. So I went at it, starting with a white base and sponging on my colors, by painting them stripes on the sponge and just dabbing them on, I had to go over them a few times but it was worth it. 

Used: 

Base color- 

Jordana- white

From cuticle to tip, 

Sinful Colors-

Cotton Candy 

Sweet Tooth 

Sugar Rush

Stamping in Jordan white 

all topped with Seche Vite 

Please just ignore the dry cuticles, it is a never ending battle here. One day its all nice out trying to be spring, then the next it windy and overcast but always dry. That just the desert for ya I suppose. 

A very belated Holiday post...

I have fallen way behind on posting... ugh life just gets in the way sometimes huh. Oh well things happen I'm back now and should be back to somewhat regular posting. For today I have my holiday manis to show you I only did like 4 holiday manis and well just never took a picture of one of em or my new years nails either. But here are some I'm just going to show them in order of when I wore them. Any questions about colors just comment and I'll be glad to post em. Like I said I did another mani that I did not even take pistures it was supposed to be my xmas day mani but it chipped right away, my fault I hit my hands on something. So ofcourse I had to come up with something else, and I just loved my simple red and green glitter gradient it was unplanned but turned out to be my favorite this year, er laast year eh my favorite xmas mani anyway. Ok enough talk for now. Enjoy let me know what you think.

Jelly Sammich

For todays mani, I went with a dark blue jelly sandwich. I'm not sure how I feel about the results. However I did receive quite a few compliments on it so i decided why not.

Used: 

Base Coat

Opi- Roadhouse Blues 2 coats

Opi- Rainbow Connection gradient from the cuticle

Revlon- Royal 1 coat

all Topped with 2 coats of Seche Vite 

So as I said before I'm not so sure about the outcome. The glitter was a PITA to cleanup and I did it at night thinking it looked good until in the morning when I saw. Not too bad but oh well. And the seche vite shrunk at the cuticle leaving some of the glitter exposed.  

I'm just going with it was not a complete fail, lol. so that's it for now. 

Day- 10 Gradient

I don't have much to say about his mani, did not turn out how I pictured. Or I just don't really like them. But I figured oh well can't win em all, ya know? So I decided to post anyway since this is what I came up with for the theme 'Gradient'. Ok enough talk onto the pictures...

Used: 

Base Coat

Opi- Thanks A Windmillion 2 coats

China Glaze- Secret Peri- Wink- Le (Sponged from the tip)

Opi- Road House Blues (sponged at the tip)

Stamped using Mash Plate

With Pure Ice- Silver Mercedes

All Topped with Seche Vite

I loved this mani after putting Secret Peri- Wink- Li, then came time for the third color, I had originally planned on adding Opi I brake for Manicures. But well I started and it just did not look good at all. So I went with Road house blues, and well it worked better, but I think I should of just stopped with the Periwinkle. Like I said it happens. 

Day 9- Rainbow

I haven't done rainbow nails in almost a year, I didn't realize how long it had been. The last time can be seen here. For today's mani I did them a little differnt this time around. there's not much I can say about it I'm just going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

As You can probably tell from the first photo to the one below my nails are a bit shorter below. My nails were getting a little long and well I just don't like them too long. So I included pictures of both ways. I actually prefer the shorter pictures, but probably only because of how they look in the sunlight and well I like my nails shorter.
