2013 Pro Bowl Tribute

I am not a girly girly. Anyone that knows me will tell you that. This nail blogging started because my child asked me to do something with my nails. So last night while watching the introduction of the Pro Bowl I thought the dresses at this link Pro Bowl opening Show where bright and summery. I figured with all the cold weather in the northeast this tribute would put some sunshine on my nails if not outside.

I used the following items below; CND Stickey base coat, dotting tools, Zoya Yummy, Zoya Creamy, and Sinful Colors Tokyo Pearl.

The Zoya Creamy and Yummy were two of the three polishes I picked up in Zoya's 3 for $10 sale the first week of January. The creamy went on very streaky. Three coats in and I figured it would have to do. This is not something I have had to deal with before with a Zoya polish so I was surprised. The pictures are before clean up. Subtle but I am loving it.

 

Well until next time keep on polishing. 

The Hits Just Keep on Coming

Today I received my order from Llarowe and boy am I happy. I will definitely be ordering from there again. Their customer service is second to none!!
Tomorrow is a baskbetball game so that decided which color of those that I received that I would use first. Hits Mari Moon Trendy is the first color I am using. This multi chrome has green and yellow as its primary colors. You can also see blue and orange at certain angles. I used three coats to get rid of the streaks.
I can honestly say that I am not sure I am going to be able to wait until I use the next color from Mari Moon line but I am going to try.
As always until next time keeping on polishing.

Another 3 for $10 Sale!!!!!

Thank you Honeybee Gardens for the chance to try your polish.

First Braided Mani

I am so proud of myself! I have been seeing people with this manicure for quite some time. My good friend at Teddi's Tips had this manicure a few months ago. Everyone I saw with the manicure had used tape or painted white tip guides and braided those. I wanted to do it free hand however, anyone that knows me knows I do not have one artistic bone in my body. This is why it has taken me so long to do this manicure and I got it right the first time out.

I used Avon Blue Royale Suede Nail Enamel for my base. This is a metallic matte polish (say that five times fast). Do not be scared when you see the polish go on wet and stay wet. Once completely dry it will be a matte finish.

My braids are done in Nubar Iris Dust and NYC Big Money Frost. I felt that the shine would be nice against the matte. I started each color at a angle and then just rolled my finger so that the polish was at a angle. I repeated the process with each color.

 

You can expect many more of these to come maybe even a full hand. Until next time keep on polishing.

New Year Day Nail

I know, I know I have not been here in awhile. I have been busy with a couple of new directions my life has taken. I am now back. I started the New Year off with Sinful Colors.
While I was not crazy about the color Rise and Shine in the bottle it looks wonderful on my nails. I used only two coats of polish to get it to look even.

 

 I wanted something to accent the green color and so I chose to use Sinful Colors Nova. I placed it on in what I called a slanted french tip. When looking at the bottle of Nova it appears to be a black base with fine green and blue glitter. However once you put it on you realize that the color is a navy to midnight blue depending on how many coats of polish you use.

My accent nail is still Rise and Shine but with one coat of Nail Junkie on top. My favorite glittter polish of all times.

All pictures are before clean up. I apologize for this but had to leave in a rush and wanted to take pictures just in case.

Happy New Year everyone and remember keep on polishing.
