Fifty Shades of Grey Inspired Nail Art

Hey ladies! I'm sure a lot of you have either read or watched Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm almost done with book 2 of the trilogy and I just watched the movie this weekend. I love the books so far, but the movie was alright. Anyways, I did these Fifty Shades of Grey inspired nails using the OPI Fifty Shades of Grey collection, duh! Here's OPI Cement the Deal stamped using Bundle Monster BM-420, Cheeky CH55, and MoYou London Biker 02 in OPI Dark Side of the Mood. The glitter is OPI Shine for Me.

I don't care much for grey on me, but I love this collection, because my hubby went to the nail supply store all by himself to get it for me and surprised me with it along with 2 dozen roses!

Pink to Aqua Gradient & Cheeky Jumbo C

Hi friends! Quick post today. Here's a mani I wore a few weeks back to the Eyes On Indie Nail party. For the gradient I used China Glaze Surreal Appeal, Essie Play Date, and Color Club Age of Aquarius and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo C in Konad Black. My ring and pinky finger have China Glaze Liquid Leather. I wanted to do nails to match my shirt that day and they came out perfectly. I love it when that happens!

Essie The Girls Are Out & Cheeky Jumbo C

Hi my polished pretties! Today I have a mani that I did to transition from fall to summer. I did this by using a polish from a summer collection and a polish from a fall collection. For this mani I used Essie The Girls Are Out and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo C in OPI Haven't The Foggiest. OPI Haven't The Foggiest is also on my ring finger and pinky. I was going to stamp with one of my silver stamping polishes, but I would feel weird doing my nails with 2 different shades of silver. It's okay though because I liked how subtle this looked anyways.

Essie Sunday Funday & Cheeky Jumbo C

Hi friends! Quick post today because I have to catch up on my homework. Here's a mani I wore a couple weeks ago and I really loved how it looked. I used Essie Sunday Funday and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo C in Essie Good As Gold. The studs are from Born Pretty Store and you can check out my review of them here. I'm so happy that I purchased the Essie Naughty Nautical collection and some Cheeky jumbo plates. I have been playing with them so often! What purchases have you been using a lot lately?

Color Club Pearl District & Cheeky Jumbo A

Hi loves! Quick post today. I have another mani using one of the new Color Club fall 2013 polishes I reviewed here. I used Color Club Pearl District and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo A in Born Pretty Store black stamping polish. I wanted to give the Born Pretty Store stamping polish another try. It got the job done, but I still prefer using my go to black stamping polish--Konad black. I've also been playing with my Cheeky Jumbo plates lately and I am so thrilled with the results. I have a couple more manis to post using them so stay tuned!

Color Club Wicker Park & Cheeky Jumbo H

Hi loves. Quick post today. In my last post I reviewed a couple of polishes from Color Club and I decided to do some nail art while wearing them. You can read my review of them here. For this manicure I used Color Club Wicker Park and stamped using Cheeky Jumbo H in Konad White. I added a rhinestone on the flower on my middle finger because I felt like being girly. This was my first time using a Cheeky jumbo plate and I have to admit, I was impressed at the quality. I recently bought their jumbo plates A, C, H, and 1 (Viva Mexico). I am thinking of ordering the set of their 10 summer 2013 plates, but am not quite sold yet. I read that some designs aren't etched deep enough so maybe I'll hold off for a bit. Do any of you own the Cheeky jumbo 2013 summer set/how do you like them?

China Glaze Fade Into Hue & Cheeky CH51

Hey loves! Today I have a mani using 3 of my new polishes. Don't you just love when you make a small dent in your "untrieds" list? I'm pretty sure my list is longer than everyone else's, but 3 is better than none.  I used a base of China Glaze Fade Into Hue and stamped using Cheeky CH51 in Color Club Beyond. The glitter is China Glaze Glitz 'N Pieces. I wasn't crazy about this color on me, but with school keeping me so busy, I don't have time to go back and redo stuff like I want to. What do you ladies do when you don't like a color on you: keep going or redo your mani?

China Glaze Surreal Appeal & Cheeky CH53

Hey lacquerheads! Here's the second Valentine's themed mani I did and it's my favorite of the 3. I used China Glaze Surreal Appeal and stamped using Cheeky CH53 in Konad White. The glitter is China Glaze Glistening Snow. Aren't they so adorable?! I entered these into Orly's From the Heart contest on Facebook so if you ladies can vote for me here that would be awesome! My entry is called "Love Letter" and it's under Natalie Niu. Thanks ahead of time!

Pirate Hello Kitty, Argh!

Hey loves! Halloween is less than a week away and I'm finally getting around to doing some Halloween nails. I hoped to get around to doing some sooner, but now will have to do. Here's a Hello Kitty Pirate themed mani. She's cute as a pirate, or probably anything for that matter! Here's what I used:

Base colors: OPI Black Onyx, Zoya Arizona
Stamping Colors: Konad Black, Konad White
Image plates: FUN 2, BM 317, CH 49, CH 36

OPI Die Another Day and Cheeky CH33

Hey my polished pretties! I'm sorry I've been so busy lately. This is just a really busy semester. I promise I'm doing my nails as much as I can for you all. Today I have one of the polishes I got from the OPI Skyfall Collection. I actually got all 12 plus the 18k gold flake top coat. I'm a sucker for holiday collections buying every collection I can get my hands on! Here's OPI Die Another Day stamped using Cheeky CH33 in China Glaze Passion. I was going for a fall look, but this actually looks a lot more festive than I expected.

Here's a swatch of OPI Die Another Day. 2 coats no topcoat. 

If Nautical Nonsense Be Something You Wish...

...SpongeBob SquarePants! Okay either you sang along or you think I'm a weirdo. I have some nautical nails for you lovelies today. I used Cheeky, Bundle Monster, and MASH plates to create it so I'll just get straight to it.
