Challenge Day 5

Challenge Day 5! I'm so sorry my post is late.I'm kinda failing at this challenge right now. So the Challenge for today is Favorite Effect. Of course I went with some insane glitter! Duh! lol

Below is my favorite effect. I tried a half moon with some glitter. I used Finger Paints Avante Garde Green for my green base, then added Finger Paints Watermelon Watercolor for my half moon effect. I then added some sparkly ass Finger Paints Art You Wondering? at the base, and Finger Paints Hue Left A Message? on the rest of my nail. I'll admit, this came out kind of sloppy. :/ It's harder to do half moons with chunky ass glitter. lol

I only saved this pic to capture some Sparkle!

I decided my half moon kinda blew, so I stuck with the same polish but using accent nails instead.

Sooooo sparkly!!!!!

Below are the Finger Paints I used

Another shot of my sloppy half moon.

Day 4 Challenge

Challenge Day 4! Glitter,Rhinestones and Fimo, Oh my! First off I should apologize for my lack of photos. I quickly jacked up my mani after getting in 2 shots. And had no patience to fix it.

For this manicure I used Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow and added a french tip with l'oreal L'orange.

I added a silver stripe with guess what? My silver striper. Too add a hint of FLAVA I added

a lemon fimo to each of the accent nails.

This mani gets me in the summer mood. Do you like Fimo? Ever tried a fimo mani?

Challenge day 3 dotting tool

Challenge Day 3! Today's challenge is "Dotting Tool'. For my mani I used ChG Frostbite for the base, and Zoya Kristen (the name is fabulous,no?)for the dots. I used a large dotting tool.

Im not a fan of dots or using a dotting tool. I prefer an old fashioned paint brush. I dont do a lot of "dot" designs, therefore I find the dotting tool uneccessary unless for DOTS. lol

I'm sure many people will disagree. :/

Here she is. I guess i was just uninspired. Sorry guys.

Check out my lovely nail blogger buddies, and see what they've done. I'm sure it beats my mani with a bat.

XoXo

Challenge Day 2 -Classic Mani

Hey Ladies! It's Challenge Day 2! The Classic Mani! Ok, ok, so I went safe. The french mani. It truly is classic and looks freakin awesome. At least I think so.

Below are the tools I used to create this French Mani. Polish Remover, Bobbi Brown brush, and Spoiled Correction Tape. ( Name of the polish, no tape involved lol)

I painted a rough french line.

The dipped my brush in polish remover and developed an arch along each nail.

On top I added Pure Ice Don't You Wish for sparkle.

No flash

With Flash

I tried to make my mani a little edgier (a word?) by highlighting my nail line with

a blue glitter Migi nail art pen. Personally I thought it made my nails look like they desperately needed a good nail brush.lol

Close Up

What do you think? A fan of the French???

Challenge Day 1 -Jelly Sammich

Happy Monday! I am starting a new job today in a whole new career field, so wish me luck! Onto the nails!

Today is Day 1 of our Challenge and it called for a Jelly Sammich! This is challenge left me cursing, and throwing random household items. I failed hardcore on my jelly sammich. FML. I just couldn't find a combo of jelly and glitter that I loved. So I was left with this. Mehh....

I used Pure Ice Dreamy a super pink jelly, and Milani Jewel FX in Fucshia.

That's right, take in the suck......

Oh look a larger picture of suckiness....

Can you tell I freakin hate my jelly??? I couldn't even properly capture it's crapiness. You're Welcome.
