Nicki Minaj Inspired Nails #3

Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Today's mani may look familiar to you. It's because I got this idea from Rebecca Likes Nails. She did this last year and of course while I was doing Nicki Minaj outfit inspired nails I couldn't stop thinking about doing the one she did because it is so awesome. I used China Glaze White Out for the base and stamped using BM 215 with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Presto Pink. For my ring finger I used China Glaze Sunshine Pop. The outfit that inspired this is one that Nicki wore in her "Super Bass" music video.

Nicki Minaj Inspired Nails #2

Hi my lovelies! Like I mentioned in my last post, I did a few Nicki Minaj outfit inspired manis for this little contest on Instagram. Here's the second one I did. First I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out. Then with the binder hole reinforcements applied, I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On. Lastly I stamped using BM 21 in Konad Black. I've always wanted to use this stamp and I've always seen it just stamped over yellow, so I'm glad my first time using it I was able to be creative! I don't know if anyone can tell, but O.P.I. Fly stained the crap out of my nails!! Has anyone else had the same problem?

Nicki Minaj Inspired Nails #1

Hi everyone! So I mentioned before I use this iPhone app called Instagram and I like to enter these little nail contests. I like how when I'm sometimes lacking inspiration these contests will give me a direction to go in. Anyways, the current one is to do nails inspired by outfits worn by Nicki Minaj or Lady Gaga. I did 4 so you'll be seeing them this week. I wanted to do more actually because I got a lot of inspiration, but I started nursing school again today so no more daily manis ='[

For this mani I painted all my nails with OPI Fly. Then I used a dotting tool to add medium sized random blobs of OPI. Did It On 'Em, OPI DS Glow, China Glaze Gaga for Green, Color Club Chelsea Girl, and L.A. Girl Disco Brites Vinyl Record. Lastly I stamped using Bundle Monster 224 in Konad Black. Pretty awesome, right?! One of Nicki's outfits in her "Super Bass" music video was the inspiration for this mani.
