Birthday & Gradients

Still loving the gradient trend as you will soon figure out.

I used For Audrey and Peachy Keen by China Glaze with Konad m57 plate.

I recieved tons of compliments on this mani while at work.

I used China Glaze Celtic Sun with Four Leaf Clover and OPI's Fly at the tip.

This mani was extremely bright and it matched by glow stick bracelet perfectly haha.

This would have to be my least favourite out of all the gradient nails I have done.

I used China Glazes Sweet Hook with For Audrey.

Only 45 more days till Hawaii I'm dying here haha. Hawaiian themed nail art will hold me over until we leave.  I used Sally Hansen's Mellow Yellow and Sunkissed.  I used a nail art brush from Kiss for the palm tree.

I turned 20 on August 8th and I wanted to do something cool with my nails. I couldn't just pick one thing to do so I did them all haha.

Index: Base colour is China Glaze For Audrey with a Kiss striping brush for the bow.

Easter, Broken Nails and Gradient

For Easter I decided to do something simple seeing as how I had to work the day before.  I brought out my two favourite pastel colours.  I used China Glaze's Re-freshmint with China Glaze's Sweet Hook.  I then used one of Kiss' nail stripers for the silver triangle.  No tape was needed for this :)

I've been loving the gradient nails lately I used China Glaze's For Audrey for the lightest blue followed by OPI's Fly and then Sally Hansens Blue It and finally I used Essie's Mesmerize. The zebra stripes were Konad's m57 plate.

While I was at work my nail broke while opening a box it managed to stay on for a day and a half and when I finally bought nail glue it came off.  However I did find this awesome way to repair your nail even though I never got to try it :P  Check it out: http://musicalhouses.blogspot.ca/2010/07/how-to-fix-broken-nail-with-diy-tea-bag.html

Working all weekend is never fun but at least my nails were. You can also see that my nails grow really fast because this was two days after my broken nail came off. For the colours I used Sally Hansens Sunkissed with FingerPaints Expressionist Red.

Konad, Gradient and Belated St. Pattys

Finally got my hands on the m57 plate from konad now I don't feel so bad when my nails get ruined at work haha.  I used China Glaze's Peachy Keen with Sally Hansens White On.

 Next up was technically my Valentines Day nails I'm only like a month and a half late.  I used China Glaze's Something sweet as a base then added OPI's You're A Pisa Work with a random red polish I had and I put OPI's Black Shatter on top.

Now here is my late St. Patricks Day nail art. I used China Glaze's Four Leaf Clover as the base then painted a four leaf clover with a brush over Sally Hansen's Black Out.  Four Leaf Clover is impossible to photograph no matter what you do it will always look different.

I really need to start posting these pictures on time more often haha. :)

It's Been A While

 It's been a while since I last posted and I have accumulated quite a bit of nail polish since I last posted.  Now onto the Nail Art I have done recently.  First up black & white stripes with a red accent nail.

For this manicure I used Sally Hansens White On and Black Out for the stripes and FingerPaints Expressionist Red as the accent nail.  The stripes look way better in the picture than they did on my nails.

This is Sally Hansens Pumpkin Spice over Sally Hansens Black Out.  Pumpkin Spice is a sheer blackish brown polish with orange glitter. In my opinion it looks way better with a black polish underneath than it does without.  This was also my very first Halloween polish which is sad because I love Halloween.

Clearly I was hooked after I bought my first Halloween polish because I picked up this bad boy. I went everywhere looking for this set and finally found it at Chatters.  Zom-body to Love is a sheer glow in the dark polish.  I used Sallys Hansen White On as a base and then added 3 coats of Zom-Body to Love. I must say I didn't think that it would work that well but boy was I wrong.

This would be my lovely blurry picture in a semi dark area, I promise I will get a better picture of  it.

And lastly here is my most recent manicure. I was so eager to try the gradient trend I used Sally Hansen Sun Kissed as the base then added Revlons Pretty in Papaya then I used FingerPaints Expressionist Red with OPI's Black Shatter on top.

OPI You're A Pisa Work & Fail Nail

I went to London Drugs a while ago in hope of finding the new Pirates of the Caribbean Collection. I had no such luck but I did come across OPI's You're A Pisa Work.  The picture is a lot brighter than it actually is, it's more of a berry pink. In the bottle it looks like a hot pink but it applys much more darker. Even though its not like the bottle I still adore it. I would give this a 3/5.

This is the result of no sleep, I somehow thought this was going to look good while I was painting my nails at 3 in the morning. I used Avon's Viva Pink with Sally Hansens Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Sunkissed with China Glazes Cracked Concrete on top. This idea was totally better in my head at 3 in the morning.
