China Glaze White Out & BM 205

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been really busy planning stuff for my wedding (and working out, phew!). It's only 2 weeks away! I've no idea what I'll do for posts while I'm gone. How do guest posts work? I've never done that before, but I've seen other bloggers do it. Any volunteers while I'm gone? Anyways, I'm really happy how this mani turned out. I've seen this method done before where multiple colors are applied on a stamp to get a cool effect, but I've always been too scared that the colors would all run together, but they didn't. YAY! For this mani I used 2 coats of China Glaze White Out as a base. I used BM 205 to stamp and I used 4 Konad stamping polishes: Sky Pearl, Red, Yellow, and Princess Apple Green. By no means is the stamping perfect on this one, but it's really not that noticeable unless you look really close.

OPI Ogre the Top Blue & Bundle Monster BM 224

This is such a perfect mani for spring/summer! I used O.P.I. Ogre the Top Blue as my base. I used 2 coats in the first photo, but didn't realize it wasn't completely opaque until I took pics, so after that I added another coat. It's really a beautiful blue. I love all of the colors from the Shrek Collection, but I only own this one =[ I stamped using BM 224 with Konad White and then added some gold glitter in the middle of all the flowers.

Gradient Zebra Mani

Okay Rebecca, out of all your manis that I love and want to re-create (all of them =P), this one has just been staring at me and I had to do it! Haha you can check out the tutorial for this design by Rebecca from Rebecca Likes Nails. First color: China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, second color: Color Club Koo-Koo CaChoo, third color: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Fuchsia Power. I used Konad M57 in Konad Black. For some reason, the orange in the photos doesn't show up that much, but in person it totally shows.

I'm sure you can tell, I've had a casualty this week and decided to chop all my nails ='[ Oh well, I should get used to short nails because when I start a nursing program in September, I will have to cut them even shorter than this.

Blog Tag: What's In Your Purse?

No nail post today. I wore the mani from my previous post for longer than I usually do and won't have anything for you guys until tomorrow. Sorry! Anyways, I've been tagged to do this by Sarah from Samarium's Swatches. Here goes:

Wallet, pen & highlighter, glass nail file, cough drops, hand sanitizer, hair ties, chapstick, purse hook, contact lens case.

Flashlight, iPhone, iPods, bluetooth audio dongle

I didn't know where to keep all my Best Buy receipts together so I decided to keep them in my purse lol
