St. Patrick's Day Mani #1

Hi lovelies! This is my first St. Paddy's Day mani I came up with. I have another one for you all tomorrow that I assure you is nicer than this one lol. My husband was on his way home from work and I tried to do this one real fast before he got home. I used Orly Fresh and Milani Jewel FX Gold. I usually like to use a sponge for any kind of 'gradient', but for this one I just kind of dabbed the brush on my nail and spread around the glitter with the polish brush. It was quick, I know it's not my neatest, but I still think it's a cute look if you're short on time!

Red, Silver, and Black Clouds

Hi loves! Sorry haven't posted in awhile. I will be busy for the next couple weeks, but after that I will post more often again. I finally decided to try the popular "cloud" design from Jane at Nailside! She actually did this mani here and I loved it so much I decided to that for my first time I would use the same colors since I knew they look nice together. I used O.P.I. Red Lights Ahead...Where?, Sally Hansen Insta Dri Silver Sweep, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out. I LOVE how this turned out and it was so easy! I will definitely be trying this out again.

Nude, Gold, and Hot Pink Double Lightning Bolt Nails

Hey everyone! I've been wanting to do a manicure with nude and hot pink because they go so well together, and here's what I came up with! I decided to do a double lightning bolt tape manicure using a tutorial from Jane at Nailside. She has the coolest ideas and is nice enough to post tutorials--thanks Jane! I used Zoya Shay, China Glaze Passion, and Zoya Layla. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Believe it or not I almost gave up in the beginning because my nude took awhile to dry and it lifted on my pinky at first, but I'm glad I kept going lol.

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.
