Victoria's Secret PINK Inspired Nails

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a good weekend. I received a lot of Victoria's Secret items this week in the mail and one of the things I ordered inspired me! Haha like I said before, it's rare that I do a mani that is inspired by something (sounds lame huh? lol), but anyways here it is! I used a base color of China Glaze Flyin' High. Thumb and ring finger are stamped using RA 110 in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Presto Pink. Index is stamped using Konad M72. Middle is stamped using Konad M17 and M18. Pinky is stamped using RA 114. I used Konad White for all the other stamping. This would've been perfect for "nails inspired by a color" on the 31 day nail challenge. Guess I will have to come up with something else for that day. I will save the 31 day nail challenge for this summer so I won't rush, but I'm dying to do it!

OPI Black Onyx, China Glaze White Out, and RA 114

Hi everyone! Today I have another design to show you. I did this really quick. I just wanted to test out another Red Angel nail art plate. I'll be testing them a lot these next couple of weeks so stay tuned for more. On my pinky, middle, and thumb I used OPI Black Onyx and stamped using RA 114 in Konad White. Then on my ring and index finger I used China Glaze White Out and stamped using RA 114 in Konad Black. I wanted to see what color combination would look best. After trying it out, I like the white base with black stamp better. It might be hard to tell, but something I noticed so far using the Red Angel plates is that the image has tiny little parts that showed up bald when I stamped, which is something that never happens to me using Konad. It's no biggie, but I'm really anal sometimes and it bothers me just a bit haha.

QUESTION: I need some help from everyone. On my Facebook I like to use only one photo of each manicure, but I'm having a hard time picking a 'pose' lol. Do you prefer A, B, or C? Please help! =]

Nicole by OPI Pink Seriously and RA 102

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't made a post since last year! Haha that seems so long ago. Anyways, I have FINALLY received my Red Angel nail plates I purchased off of Amazon. I ordered them on December 8th and received them on December 27, way past the expected delivery date AND I live in the same state they shipped out from. Pretty ridiculous right?! Anyways, if you're interested in purchasing them they come in a set of 21 nail plates and I believe including shipping, it came out to about $17.

For this mani I used a base of Nicole by OPI Pink Seriously. It is my very first polish from that brand and it has this weird 'Perfect Stroke' brush. It will take me a bit of getting used to, but I think it worked pretty well. I stamped using Red Angel plate 102 in Konad Black.

Review:
As far as the Red Angel nail plates go, I have only used this design so far, but it came out better than I expected it to. I have pretty long nails and as you can see, the design covered my whole nail! I only had to stamp a little extra on my thumb, but I have to do that with Konad as well. The shipping time is the only thing that killed the purchase for me. I have read that other people received it in a few days, so maybe it was because I made a purchase around the holidays. Other than that, I would recommend these plates, it's a great deal. I find it hard to see all the designs of nail plate sets online, so I took pics of the nail plates so anyone who is interested can get a closer look! (Click to enlarge)

New Years Nails

Last post of 2011! I wanted to do a mani perfect for New Years and all I could think of was these Technicolor nails by Liz at Liquidjelly. She put up a tutorial and I tried to follow it as best as I could, I think it came out pretty cool, but I should have used smaller pieces of tape on my first couple of nails. I used OPI DS Signature as my base color, added all the little strips of tape, and then did the gradient using China Glaze First Mate, Zoya Charla, Zoya Ivanka, and OPI Simply Smashing. I did these last night so I don't have any pics of it in the sun, but here they are! What does your New Years mani look like?

Happy New Years everyone! Be safe and see you all in 2012 =]
