Pink, Purple, and Blue Gradient and Konad M65

Hi everyone! March is here and I'm sure we will be seeing a lot of green manicures soon, so here is a non green manicure to start the month lol. I did a gradient using OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips, Sally Hansen Insta Dri Lively Lilac, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away. I stamped using Konad M65 in Konad Black. I actually messed up my ring finger and I was in a rush to finish my nails before my husband came home, so I just added Essie Luxeffects in A Cut Above.

Mardi Gras Themed Water Marble

Hi lovelies! I know Mardi Gras was last week, but with school I didn't have time to do my nails until this weekend. I decided to do a water marble since I haven't done one in awhile. It's not that I haven't tried, I think the times I tried it was way too cold and my polish was drying fast or something. Here I used a base color of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Golden-I and marbled using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Golden-I, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Deep Purple, and China Glaze Holly Day.

China Glaze Happy Go Lucky and Konad M50

The weekend is FINALLY here! This was one of the most difficult weeks of school I can remember. I can't wait to do my nails today! Lol. Anyways, here is a mani I did 2 weeks ago for my mother in law. She picked what she wanted me to use. It's a simple design, but she loved them so that's all that matters! I used China Glaze Happy Go Lucky for the base and stamped using Konad M50 in Konad Sky Pearl. And that blue background is the bottom of one of my beloved Konad demo plates <3

Essie Spring 2012 Navigate Her Collection

Hi everyone! I hope you all are enjoying your extra long weekend. I'm not because I'm working on lots of stuff for nursing school next week, but after this week I will be able to relax a bit. Today I have Essie's Spring 2012 Collection "Navigate Her." I actually don't have that much Essie in my collection because one time I used one and I hated the formula, but I have to say, after getting this collection I think I'm going to be getting a lot more! I probably used that other Essie when I still sucked at painting my nails lol. 

Tour De Finance. Fuchsia shimmer with a purple flash.

Ole Caliente. Red based coral creme.

Orange, It's Obvious. Dark orange creme.

A Crewed Interest. Peach creme.

Navigate Her. The namesake of the collection. Pistachio creme.

To Buy Or Not To Buy. Lilac "shimmer". It basically looks like a lilac creme since the shimmer is very hard to see.

Here's the purple and blue shimmer in To Buy Or Not To Buy in the bottle. This shimmer is pretty much non-existent on the nail.

Like I said, I don't have very many Essie in my collection, but I am glad I have added these to my collection. It would've been nice if the shimmer showed up in To Buy Or Not To Buy. I could live without that one. Ole Caliente and Orange, It's Obvious are a little too close in color for me for a 6 polish collection, but of course I will be wearing both of them! My favorites are Navigate Her, A Crewed Interest, and Tour de Finance. Formula and dry time was great on these. I used 2 coats on all except A Crewed Interest and Tour De Finance, I used 3.
