Day 4 of the 31 Day Challenge - Green Nails

This design started with the base color China Glaze Starboard. I added a green feather to the ring finger and the green glitter polish China Glaze Winter Holly to the middle finger. I stamped the index and pinky fingers with Color Club Kismet with Pueen plate PUEEN06.

Summer Challenge Day 24 - Underneath the Stars

Today's challenge is underneath the stars and I wanted to recreate the night's sky. I thought this manicure was beautiful, but I am partial to blues.

I started with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Night Flight. Then I sponged Wet n' Wild French White Creme on the tips, and sponged on top of the white using an unknown L.A. Colors blue polish. I added a coat of silver glitter to create the stars in the sky. Love it!

Thanks for stopping by! Check out some of the other ladies participating in the challenge for today :)

Summer Challenge Day 10 - Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Hi there!

Today's challenge is the Queen's Diamond Jubilee which is another event from the United Kingdom. I think it's rather fun learning about events and holidays that occur in countries other than the United States. I would love to visit the UK some day and do some genealogy research and learn more about their history. I'll have to add that to my bucket list.

For this manicure I went with a combination of what color polish I thought the queen would consider wearing herself, and then added some sparkly glitter to give the appearance of cut diamonds. I really love this look. It's so neutral and can be worn with anything.

Unfortunately I do not have the labels for some of the polish I used. The base color is a pale shimmery pink from Orly, and then I added a light sweep of a white glitter from L.A. Colors. Towards the tip of the nails I added another glitter, Wet N' Wild Kaleidoscope, and a few extra larger glitters, and topped it with Seche Vite.

Ta Ta For Now!

Twinkle, Twinkle

Glitter polishes are very trendy right now. The great thing about them is that you can apply them on top of any color in thick or thin coats to create different looks. If you smudged your base color before you put your top coat on, just add glitter to cover it up. It's so versatile...and pretty.

For this manicure, I started with a base coat of Pure Ice Kiss Me Here which is a gray color. Then I added a coat of LA Colors BCC 582 which is a blue and purple glitter. Now my plain gray base color looks more like a bluish-gray or lavender.

From there, I added a top coat and stamped on some stars using Cheeky CH5 plate. Then added another top coat to protect the stamps. And there it is - a quick and easy manicure =)
